    I wouldn’t worry about it. Most of them start peeling off on their own after a few months.

    Well that's terrible. I have some simple ones from Toyhax (autobot/decepticon symbols) and they seem to be fine. Is it general consensus that toyhax stickers peel off on their own?

    I don’t think so. Most likely dependent on user error (not cleaning surface before applying stickers) and/or temp and humidity.

    Naturally, i ordered the maw stickers without the gap-fillers since the others were sold out. Right after mine shipped a day later, the gap-filler version is back in stock *rolls eyes*. Oh well. Still, i love their sets and have never had a peeling issue. I use them for my larger figures. Unicron certainly qualifies. LOL.

    Hm, maybe I'll order the other set anyway and keep the other ones as a backup.

    Ebay:
    I can't even order from them anymore if I wanted too, their site is so crappy it takes forever to load. I clicked the image to find out what those gapfillers are and what they look like. But it just doesn't load, it's still loading the actual product page, for 20 minutes now.

    Completely agree. I think this may be the best option of all of the “easy” fixes. I haven’t done the inner ring of the maw yet (not sure if I will), and I don’t think I’m going to do the teeth, but I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I don’t know if this will be my “permanent” fix, but I am content. My Unicron is finally perfect.

    EDIT: I completed the inner maw today, including the cybertronian letters. Here’s what is looks like with all (and only) the orange bits (sans teeth) + silver chompers

    You were right to hold off on the teeth, as I think the detailing looks too gaudy, which is often the case with Toyhax IMO. But the ones you did go with look great. This set will be a nice solution for a lot of people.

    Yeah, I think Toyhax always has way more than I need from any given set. It’s great that they offer as much as they do for those who prefer more additions / details (we all have different aesthetic tastes). But I just buy them for “fixes” more often than not (e.g., this part should be this color). For the price I think this set is a winner

    Yeah I would have much preferred a sticker set that is just plain orange to match the plastic colour. I don’t like all the greebles. I’m still thinking about this sticker set because it’s an easy fix but I really hate stickers and I would prefer paint or a replacement part. It would be awesome if ToyHax offered an option without the added details. Just orange and plain silver for the jaws at the centre.

    And yes I’m still bitter at Hasbro for not painting the maw in the first place! I display it in planet mode and every time I walk by and look at that maw I say “DAMN YOU HASBRO!!!”

    Unicron is pleased with his new wing tips. Thanks @Wh33ls for organizing the group buy for us Canadians!

    Huh! I didn't know Studio Cell's wings fit on Haslab's Unicron. How does that work for planet mode?

    It's actually two sets of the Studio Cell extended wings to give it the proper length. One set will work, but it looks a bit too short, you can see from the post linked below.

    it doesn't work for planet mode. I printed the inner frame kit from this thread to get both planet and bot mode from one Unicron...

    And this helped me get my money back. My bank finally approved the charge back! Took some persistence but after the third try and willing employees to do it, I got my money back! Thank you for sharing this with me!

    In other good news I managed to find a decent human being on eBay which sold me one so now I have one! I assembled it, but I haven't transformed it. I ordered those toyhax stickers you guys have been posting I'm just waiting on those. Happy Days Are Here Again!
