    Two chins and a tiny purple plastic slug of galvatron? That’s the bonus? Where is the transformable Kranix? This will not see release until 2021, the 35th anniversary of TFTM.

    So I checked Hasbro China's TMall page for the Unicron preorder again.

    When I first checked on Aug 11, it has 201 orders. It has 248 orders now.

    Interestingly, they offer installment plans: 4399元 (US$615) full payment, 1500.05元 x3 (US$629), 766.15元 x6 (US$642), 394.07元 x12 (US$661).

    Haslab should have done the same.

    Is anyone keeping track of daily totals? I am a graph guy so would love to see this graphed.

    I want to back this figure so very bad, it looks amazing. But I can’t do that price, and I don’t know where to find coupons and gift cards for Hasbro Pulse. One side of me is hoping this’ll happen, and another side is hoping it won’t. What should I do?

    I feel like they\'ll make it even if they don\'t hit 5000.

    Can't justify the price at all or can't support the price all at once?

    There are other options, you know. We've been going on about them on practically every page since the news first broke of their existence.

    Spend a little up front, save your money, have it ready for the final purchase in 2021 when BBTS tells you to pay up [sucka].

    Dude, would it freaking kill you to look back a few pages of the chat? It's just super frustrating to see people ask questions to things that they pretty easily could figure out on their own.

    And then I'm sweet, here you go:

    I agree to an extent that if they get close to 8000, they will produce, I just don't know what qualifies as close.

    packaging is probably the one thing we could definitely have a huge say in and they could work and re-work it over the course of the next year or so...

    I kind of find it hard to believe Hasbro didn't think ahead to sweeten the pot with mini figures (though it is amusing to picture Hasbro employees running around yelling "What else can we make on the cheap to throw into the box to help sell Unicron?!)

    Well, yeah. That's the common sense of it, I agree.

    ... But what if they get 7999?

    That won’t happen because if it’s at that number with five minutes left someone will buy one. But if it hypothetically ends anywhere over 7,500 I reckon they’re making it.

    So I checked credit card instead of internet banking by accident on my preorder, whoops, but once that's sorted out I'm all in.
