    What a surprise. The thing Hasbro said was going to happen that everyone was like "What if it doesn't happen?" happened. Just like everything else.

    Dickheadedness aside, it's great to see our pals up north get a shot at this. This Unicron is mighty nice, I'm super glad I bought it.

    WTF are you talking about? We were told at TFcon that this Unicron was coming to a brick and mortar retailer. But the Hasbro guy got the wrong one appearantly.

    I just came back from getting this. I thought it was supposed to be a Costco exclusive here in Canada. Oh well, I won't look this gift horse in the mouth.


    Anyway. I bought it in Toronto at the TRU on Vic Park and Lawrence and after taxes it was just under $91.00. They had two more on the shelf and a bunch more on the overhead which no one can reach lol.


    Happy hunting to all.

    Ughh..I so feel for my Canadian brothers. Dollar is at par and they have to pay a freaking premium. Re-tar-ded.

    Most of the stuff like Unicron is imported from the US regardless if Hasbro have a Canadian office. For that import cost and tax is added. Also coming from TRU, there's the so called TRU tax/price increase that most people are well aware of.

    Good luck Canadian fandom. I hope all of you who want this get it. I bought mine off of Amazon after it had sold out like 3 times and it is sweet! I left mine boxed because it displays so well and my Armada one is already loose. I hate it that it's almost twice as much for you guys though, that seems a bit shit to me.

    Don't feel too bad. He is just the price of any ol' supreme class figure. Ya it sucks but hey $90 for a Supreme Class G1, ready for my Classics display, Unicron or $100+ on voyager 3rd party?

    I think if you really want a Unicron (awesome paint aps by the way) $90 is not that big a price to pay for it.

    Yeah, after paying for so many 3rd party items, paying this much for Unicron doesn't feel bad at all, haha

    I hope the US gets it at retail, He's been getting scalped ON Amazon and i am NOT paying over 80$ since i still have the armada one. And defently not 100-150, thats Takara pricing.
