    Looks great man. I'm glad he got made because it means projects like these will get done in future. It's a win for fans. That's how I saw it.

    I got my energon unicron about a year ago. I love him. Love his light up features and chest missile.

    You're absolutely right about the price though, I was lucky enough to get offered one at cost after release but even then I thought how can any figure be worth that!
    I still think he's overpriced but also glad I thought screw it why not. I would have been content to stick with the Armada one if it did pass me by - he's still a great figure and I have both in the display.

    Haslab one should have come with the light up eyes feature off the bat too.
    I have no regret but it is a rediculous amount of money for a single figure and now it's happened Hasbro will keep pushing to see how deep a collector's pocket is.

    I think they will and price a lot of fans out of getting these figures. It's the only real downside to it.

    Its interesting that they had to extend the deadline to get it over the line but the star wars razorcrest blitzed its target with ease. I always saw unicron as John wardens baby and it would have been beyond embarrassing if it had failed.

    I was pretty much priced out, part of the reason I disbanded collecting Masterpiece figures too.
    In the end a friend dangled a carrot at me after the fact, then my OCD got the better of me, I collect Generations (CHUG) figures, my Unicron was an Amarda figure, would my collection be incomplete without Generations Unicron? Common sense went out the window and here I am.

    Amazing collection sir. Pure class. And yeah unicron has your wallet lol

    I'll be backing the haslab projects for both tfs and sw. Just to be part of it I'm sure is exciting. As a sw fan my biggest recent pick pic was vintage collection millennium falcon. Im glad I didn't back the razorcrest expecially after they destroyed it in season 2 lol

    Polycarbonate roof sheet (multiwall), cheaper than timber lightweight but very strong.

    Man, this is the funniest shit I’ve seen yet!!!! Not sure what’s funnier, the ridiculous price of the listing, or the fact that 42 people are watching it!!!

    Maybe they just want a notification to see if it actually sells at that price.

    Ah, Good point!!!! I truly hope no one is sucker enough to pay that much though. Yes, it’s a once in a lifetime figure, but not for that price!!!!

    This guys gets it...

    The irony is that the seller won't ever drop the price while so many people are watching (it’ll sell, right?), so there's 43 people all in an endless loop of nothingness. Crazy

    I see an even bigger piece of irony in that listing. Not only is he/she asking $11,000 for it, but an extra $154.14 for shipping. :lol

    As a seller on ebay - i am one of those followers simply to remind myself how not to sell to others - always need a smile at the end of a bad day.

    Also - since sellers can offer discount offers - makes me wonder what they will ultimately sell it for.

    At this point in time I don't think anyone should be buying a sealed copy of Haslab Unicron unless you're planning on never opening it (in which case, I'd have to ask "why?"). If there's a QC issue you'd be SOL.

    In observance of the 'holy weekend' that is SDCC, Fed Ex charged near 100 bucks each time I shipped stuff home from the Con in 2013 and 2014, 154 for Unicron from Fed-Ex is well within normal.
