    I mean people clearly care, I hate scalpers
    When they over charge, but if it’s 5-10 bucks and it’s hard to find, I usually bite the bullet

    Nothing, as long as you just do it and don't spend the rest of your free time on message boards looking for validation or, like certain posters posting their sob story as a failed toy dealer as an excuse for their need to now flip toys, hoping for sympathy.

    I passed on both Megs and Prime the first time around, so I might pick these up now that I have money to burn.

    I like it too. I think it looks cool and I've always liked the look of white bars to depict reflections on glass/ice/metal.

    My take on this whole scalping conversation: I understand looking for extra income to support your collecting. Scalping is one way to do that. The downside is that it makes the hobby more difficult for other collectors, especially when they are not the most financially blessed. Toy scalping is legal in this country (for now), so you are not breaking any laws, but you are taking from others to boost yourself up. If you're ok with that, that's fine. But, don't expect to get along well with others in the community when you shamelessly flaunt your activities on message boards. I fully support your right to make money legally. I also fully support the right of others to call you out for being kind of a garbage person. Now, this Unicron thing I don't see a problem with. They will only make as many Unicrons as there are orders to do so. So, you're not taking away from anyone. If anything you're putting more Unicrons out there in the world to collect. I also want to point out that I'm not referring to anyone specific in this post. Just my take on scalpers as a whole. ;)

    Ah. Well, that's all good. I'll be one of those buyers and wait for the rollback. If I can find him...

    Hasbro are cutting the middle man
    To scalp on the unicron themselves
    It should not cost about 600 bucks for
    A 150-200 price point figure

    It’s 3x the mass of a $160 titan. $160*3=$480 plus shipping and $575 isn’t unreasonable. It’s actually pretty basic math

    Mass but not hight, and they didn’t need to make it into a brick, don’t defend them
    Trying to get this much out of a figure just because it’s a backer thing

    Don’t dismiss facts because you think they’re trivial. They’re not scalping or anything like that, again, it’s basic math

    Ok. No more scalping comments. Next ones will be removed. Move the topic forward.

    Didn’t dismiss anything
    Again they didn’t need to make it weigh 19 pounds, honestly the armada one is still better, this one just looks more 86
