    The great thing about a Star Wars HasLab project is that you know it's going to look like the movie or show, because I don't think Lucasfilm would let them do it otherwise. With them being the owners of the property with Transformers they can do whatever the hell they want and thus we get things like Unicron not being accurate to the movie. It's why I'm leery about supporting any of the properties they own.

    Yeah, no. If I wanted that, I'd already have it. And I don't want it

    Sometimes it’s not what you want that’s important, it’s what you can actually get that is the true crux of the issue. If you don’t want to pay the late tax on a limited run Haslab Unicron, your options basically boil down to third party or Armada versions. Whatever you decide, I do wish you luck in your hunt, truly. Search the BST forums and maybe you’ll get lucky (I’ve seen crazy deals before on there). Again, best of luck in your search.

    I’ve started using Trunkkey’s 3D printed maw piece in addition to the toyhax stickers. I think the stickers are probably all I needed, but the printed piece does a good job of filling in the outer cracks. I think the only knock I have on it is that the maw can no longer fully open, but It’s close enough. Stickers on top, with the Trunkkey piece added at the bottom.

    Yeah, I think the reason is clear from your pictures... the crack that the 3d print fills in is there for the teeth to fall back into to open fully. You either have a gap and fully retractable teeth, or not. You can't have both, it seems.

    Personally, the print is great for me.

    Reminds me, though, I need to get my toyhax on!

    Yeah, I was one of the people who didn’t mind the blue maw. But then I put on the Stickers and love the depth that it adds. The silver inner teeth were a must. I ended up not adding the ones with the cybertronian symbols though

    What is the going rate in the aftermarket for Haslab Unicron?

    Completed listings on eBay seem to be across a wide range.

    They seem to range from gouge ($1,600) to gore ($3,000). Of course, if you have nothing better to do with your money, you can opt for the “Scalped, skinned, and left for dead” price tier ($20,000) It doesn’t get you anything physical that the other two tiers don’t, but it will give you one of two emotional experiences: 1) Satisfaction of helping the seller financially or 2) Proceed on your way to oblivion.

    On the plus side, shipping for that last option is only $100! That’s practically free!

    Thank you! I’m usually way more “miss” than “hit”, but even a blind duck can land in a pond occasionally.

    Looks better than anything I’ve ever done with a hot glue gun! I’ve not yet ventured into mod territory but I admire you folks who do. This site is a hotbed of creativity and it never ceases to impress me. Share more pics when you finish!
