    Maybe I'm missing something but you always seemed like you'd never buy something this expensive

    I mean it was fairly worth it’s price considering the size and limited quantity, so I got it. Especially since it’s unicron. People always think Im cheap when I simply look for things to be worth their prices. I buy plenty of expensive bots.

    Hopefully you used your own money and that GoFundMe you started for Unicron funds didn't work out.....

    Has the novelty of owning HasLab Unicron lost its shine?
    Mine just stands there on its rightful place on the top shelf while the 2nd remains MISB.


    Okay, that gave me a laugh.

    Look. The statement was so outlandish, so ridiculously in jest no reasonable person would have taken it to be serious or fact. Blue text would have made it absolutely clear but it's blatant puffery. That is all.

    Let's get back to what really matter. *looks over to HasLab Unicron on shelf* Pretty sure he's plotting something evil...

    looking back at the original campaign now that two consecutive Star Wars Haslabs have failed to fund...

    we are pretty fortunate they extended the backing window that allowed Uni to cross the finish line...

    I'm sure the feeling at the time was it would be easily funded, and then when it looked like it wouldn't quite make it the decision was made to open up an extension (something I'm sure they didn't want to make a habit of...I don't think any other since has gotten extra time)...

    certain Haslabs have been blockbuster successes (HISS tank, Sentinel) that have been backed in a fraction of time allotted...part of that might be due to their troop-army building display leanings, but the extra tiers were pretty decent on both of those...

    (gosh I just saw this is almost the 3 year anniversary since I broke the news about Unicron!)

    I dunno. Apart from the fact it's smaller it's a much better figure in most ways

    I don't think that a 500$ third sister sword was the most brilliant idea from the begin, btw...
