    yeah. I got mine! And I TOTALLY forgot to count the radius of the stand in my shelving so now he has to sit on a small coffee table infront of everything else until I decide to make changes. lol. He is massive! Took me almost an hour to put together and transform.

    Same here! We knew the specs...but there's knowing the specs then there's experiencing the specs. He just leaves you standing there speechless...Well...speechless other than a near inaudible,"...holy shit..."

    You're calculating girth incorrectly:

    24+24+24+24 = girth
    24 = length

    Where did that other "24" come from? Last I checked, there were only three sides to a cube. LOL

    I appreciate the organization on these shelves. I've been working on something similar.

    I finally received my Unicron today. Its a big box, but after reading and seeing all the pictures, when I had my physical copy in hand was not impressed or thought it was obscenely large, compared to other things we collect.

    Awesome display, was wondering if you don't mind me asking what kind of room is that.

    Nice! Waiting for mine to arrive. No tracking yet. Did you all get a tracking number?

    Oh I thought by the text that it was the lenght+width.
    But even if I add 4x24 together that's still less than 108''

    That's only girth.

    Length PLUS girth is effectively 24x5

    you've got to add all 4 non-length sides together for girth

    THEN you add the longest side. So Unicron easily exceeds the size limit for USPS.

    Yep! It's not needed and makes displaying him a lot easier. I even transformed him back to planet and then back to robot again last night, and at no point did it seem like the missing leg was needed.

    I did the same. All the weight is on the front three legs, the back is just there for extra security I guess.

    Maybe I'm just forgetting, but is that leg removable? I vaguely recall it is.
