    This is an excellent video and everyone who owns Unicron should watch it.

    Finally cracked into my Unicron today, and . . . he has no head. Bag E is just completely missing. What a massive bummer.

    You and me both! I've heard nothing from them. Would be nice to know how long I have to clear space before it's too late! :eek:

    I need to kick my cat out of Unicron's space slowly. The fuzzy idiot pretty much saw a large clearing and went "Yes! Finally a space big enough for me. I can sleep here"

    Got mine out of the box and assembled as a planet. It looks good but I got 2 of the left pincher so the screws are visible from the top on one side. After I get it into robot mode, I'll check if there are any other problems and see if I can get replacement parts.

    The screw hole covers in the instructions are for the pincers.

    I'm quite jealous of everyone who snagged this beast. I'd give a lot to experience him even once. Give this figure the love he deserves! Enjoy!

    Unicron shipped fron Chino on the 14th. As of today it just hit New Mexico. Traveling Oregon Trail style I guess :(

    yeah I thought that was a really nice touch to finish off the appearance by disguising the screws

    I had the same fear mine was misassembed before remembering the covers were included
