    Wow, is that a moducase? I am building a case myself and definitely want to do something similar. I was thinking of getting some of the WFC backdrops

    Being stuck at home for the better part of a year has made me slightly regret not backing this... even if it won't be released until (hopefully) around the time when things start to improve. Does that even make sense?

    If you had Unicron now you could be staring at him at home.

    But when he actually releases you would be at work and he would be at home.

    I guess that makes sense.

    That's why I'm going to display mine at work. :) 
    (Also keeps it out of sight of my 4yo twin boys as an added bonus)

    Ah, yes, the two things - the only two things - that could destroy Unicron!

    (Not really. Movie reference aside, I don't mean to suggest that your little people would want to hurt your Unicron.)

    If I took my Unicron to work, one of my offices I wouldn’t have a worry about someone messing with it, the other....guaranteed someone would mess it it while I was away.

    Haha, that would be the worst part they'd likely break it completely by accident.

    And I mean what 4yo wouldn't want to play with a 27inch behemoth like WFC Unicron?

    Edit: @Moos Crew ooh that's a good point. Been so long since I've been at the office I'd forgotten people like to have a play with my work collection now and then.

    Officially, no. Your best bet is the secondary market or major retailers like BBTS which likely got a few to sell at markup.

    Nope. Only time to get it was when it was up for backing. Otherwise you’ll be paying a lot more from anyone who is re-selling him. Hasbro repeatedly mentioned it being a one and done thing for only those who back it.

    Mods, pin this if you can.

    You cannot buy a Unicron from Hasbro or Takara anymore, the only option is to purchase one from the aftermarket.

    Its a set of garage shelves with added hardboard sides and acrylic. Acrylic is just black electrical tape velcroed on the side.

    I got the idea from this video:


    This is the full display. Acrylic is only on the top. $$$

    building your own display is the way forward although i would never use acrylic/plastic for the glass ever again especially as glass is dirt cheap if you go to the right place , this glass front for my soldier story unicron statue cost me £10 infact the whole unit cost less that £60 and thats kitchen unit , glass , vivarium runners cut in half , hardboard for the top and back , already had impact glue (which i used to hold the runners in place) and leds when i made it

    click on link and scroll down to see the unit , the top is not pictured but it's not just plain hardboard i used the same colour hardboard piece that actually come with the kitchen unit so it looks neat and tidy

    Transformers Unicron Table Lamp by Soldier Story

    this unit the plastic doors cost me over £100 when in reality i could have got glass for half the cost , i was thinking weight when i built this but could have got away with glass because the untit is solid as fuck !! keep meaning to change it i will one day ..... they scratch just by looking at them and always attract dust !! but they do their job and keep the dust totally off the figures i never have to clean dust off and still look good when the leds are switched on you don't even see the scratches when lit up

    this is when i first built it

    [​IMG]


    now :)  needs some tlcl ie: the glass instead of the shitty plastic doors led wires also need sorting as have dropped top and bottom to the left , missing ft astrotrain which has been added since taking this picture it's in the spot between motormaster and octane ... the one ft stunticon limb i own is playing where wally ( waldo ) :lol
