While I agree that we hear a lot of excuses for why things can't be done, and they are obvious lies (just look at Combiner Wars Devastator), in this instance I'm not sure at the complexity and weight Unicron could have been that large despite the fact that I am another fan who would have loved to have seen him be that immense. Due to his planet mode and the way he needs to be displayed, I think it wouldn't make sense. And he likely would have had to sacrifice some of the accuracy in order to have less parts and less weight.

We shall see what FT-40 brings, it isn't here yet. But I like ambition. At least Unicron here is still the largest official release.

 

love it..and would love to know what dxp's purpose was in doing all that BS.

 

Thank you  

anyways...I think we need to live by the words of Whoopi Goldberg, "There's a Lion King for everyone" just replace Lion king with any release of a transformer official or third party, lets just get along

 

Attention, which you’re all giving him anyway.

 

Man, I sure hope that means Fanstoys can use that new lead based plastic they got in China! It will add a tasty after taste when I lick my FortMax figure up and down  

 

dont lick toys

 

Pretty sure there's a whole genre where that happens...depends on your definition of "toys" though  


Actually, that deadpan response made me chuckle  

 

seeking attention that way is a bit strange.
seeking attention in general is strange.

 

I've been into Transformers since the beginning and into the 3rd party scene since I got FansProject City Commander in 2009. Never understood the issues with HasLab Unicron's price tag. Yeah, its expensive, but no more so than early 3rd party's. Hell, buying a reissue Devastator with all the Crazy Devy parts was way more expensive than it should have been. And then look at other "complete" 3rd party combiners like TFC Hercules. Version 1 (green) of that guy was horrible and was quickly replaced with version 2 (green). V1 Hercules joints all basically wore away until it became a floppy mess (still loved the figure at the time). And that guy was $600+ on release.

I'm sure this official Unicron is superior and priced cheaper compared to the early 3rd party attempts at engineering. Imagine the cost of this guy if he was a 3rd party figure in 2009-2015.

So yeah, while its expensive, don't you guys remember the beginning of 3rd Party??? Shit was crazy expensive for what you were getting, and the complaints were not nearly as bad. Have we become somewhat spoiled now that 3rd parties and superior KOs are becoming cheaper while Hasbro and Takara officials are becoming more expensive? (not trying to be sarcastic or rude, so I apologize if I come across as such)

 

As has been stated above:

 

Any chance Haslab opens up more orders to be placed?

 

To be fair, you aren't helping to "chill out" the matter. You seem to be purposefully trolling this thread to elicit a negative reaction.

 

This exchange made me laugh. I guess there's a fetish for everything.  

 

Nope. Done and done.

You'll find that some retailers purchased for resale, so they'll pop up eventually, as will the stuff from buyers who purchased more than one themselves. Expect markup, like $150 minimum...

 

Nope. Unless Hasbro posts them on eBay, which seems highly unlikely, you'll need to haunt BBTS and the like, hoping they bought a few extra.

 

I'm not saying he's worth that much or whether people will buy it, but I talked to a few vendors at TFCon who said they expected to see Unicron priced at $1500-2k within a few years.

 

Well I've got a spare on order, so I might look to make a quick win at lower profit, from someone playing the long game. Or they just want one themselves!

 

I don't understand why we can't just talk about toys without shitting on other toys.

Why can't we just enjoy everything?

This goes both ways, between official and 3rd party. Who cares if FT makes a 4 foot Fort Max. There's no need to crap on Unicron because of it, and there's no need to go to its own thread and crap on it in return.

 

I would be very interested!

 

That's actually an easy question to answer, though the answer does end up being sad in a sense. A lot of people in the absence of content, tend to fill their own vanity with something they like; somehow melding it to part of their personality. So essentially, calling what they like stupid and who they are stupid end up being equal, which is no bueno. There's also superiority complexes, might makes right mentalities, and snowballing/cascading emotions that are mixed in with it too. Basically, it's all just a bowl of nightmare soup. PSA: Don't be a bowl of nightmare soup. It smells like death, tastes even worse, and the things it does to you afterward are too horrific to describe.

Honestly just popped in this thread to see if anyone found an interesting solution to hanging Unicron from the ceiling. Didn't expect more of the same from when I last left.
