Well, he was very greebly in the movie.

 

There are stirrings that Takara Tomy will hold their own crowdfunding for Unicron this 7/28. This must be their way for those outside of the US to get their Unicron fix. A more expensive way mwahahaha.

Badly Google translation below.

 

Fansproject?

Have I woken up in 2013?

With movie colours and available worldwide? That'd be a welcome option not a funny one.

 

"at Takara Tomy mall"

 

Very sneaky Takaratomy.. but not a bad excuse to get it via TT Mall. Excellent. * rubs hands.  
From the WIP pics, it kinda alludes that the TT designers had a 90% hand in creating, planning and sculpting this monstrosity.

 

I honestly thought shipping to Canada would be more. 30 USD for shipping? I might have to sweet talk the Mrs tomorrow and see if this is a possibility.

 

I\'m glad to see that there is a new Unicron coming but it far out of my reach. If it was a titan class figure and costs 150 or less I can see it but it is far too expensive and I frankly don\'t have the space for it. I feel kind of left out.

 

I will likely get this figure, however, I agree that a mainline titan class figure would have been a better move. I feel like they are doing Unicron through haslab because he is the easiest choice to make a massive, overly priced, figure that people will still buy. I hope there is a undersized KO for people who can't justify this purchase because honestly, it is a crazy expensive piece.

 

With how amazing it looks, the price is justified. You wouldn’t get a car for that price if it were rundown.

 

Is this you @oku ?  

 

I'm still in awe at the fact it's going to be the same exact height as the Lewin-01 Atlas figure (oversized MPP-10 Optimus Prime) which is also 27 inches Tall. and the Lewin-01 with all the dicast parts on it weighs 18.lbs (I measured and weighed the one I actually own)

This Unicron with Zero Diecast parts weighs 19.lbs So I still would like to be enlightened as to how people think it's going to be so hollow.

 

What I find funny is that nobody will argue against the principle behind the statement, just nitpick WHICH 3P company they will overpay for their products.

 

I'm starting to think i might not be able to afford this big guy mainly cause i blew my cash load on Snake Mnt. I really wished I'd knew they where going to do this. I still love that I'm getting snake mnt but then again there's still hope though. So I'm not giving up yet till the last mine.

 

Only 6114 backers to go. Can we do it. I wonder if BBTS and Entertainment Earth will step up to the plate as well.

 

Only...
 

 

I'm not sure. Peanuts are dangerous for cats as they can't grind them down. This means tiny shards of peanut can cause cats to choke. My mum called her cat "Peanuts" and used to feed them to the cat all the time.

Except it takes actual experts to effectively understand human behavior patterns, as unfortunately, we are slightly more complex than "just animals". Being self aware, we are able to "go against the grain" sotospeak.

As for my first point, it's certainly not disingenuous. Hasbro could believe that such crowd-funded pricing warrants similar pricing in the main market and/or move more projects from the main line, into such bespoke, expensive crowd-funding.

 

They might have met their target if they'd opened it up to UK and Europe buyers too. Seems short sighted.

If I were to propose a U.S.S. Flagg, here's what I'd do:

7 foot recreation of the surface of the carrier -- as a table. Brand new tower and turrets. Toy storage in drawers.

An since I figure we're looking at an easy $600-700+ (effectively $400 worth of table with $150+ of turrets/accessories and some customization), you need to sweeten the deal. Particularly as people ARE NOT collecting that line.

So you throw in three G.I.Joe Sky Strikers. And the 5 most popular Joes and 5 most popular Cobras in aviation themed decos.

Set it at 1000 dollars.
