    @BBJazz, first its Hasbro, the world's largest toy manufacturer, 2nd Haslabs does not charge you until the end of the crowdfund, so sometime within the first week of September 2019 and only if the target goal if 8k backers is met or surpassed.

    This is absolutely off the hook. I know I'm not getting it day one, but mother of god, I'd have to get it at some point. Fuck... I'd probably put him on a shelf by himself.

    Yeah. I agree. That Unicron does look nice. But that price...yikes.

    You guys who think this is normal, do you all live in the states and regularly buy TOYS for over one third of a monthly wage?
    Cause this could have just been offered as an exclusive and as a titan without all of the unnecessary bling.
    Objecting to this ridiculous price makes perfect sense, especially since shipping and customs will add half the price in order to get it out of the US.
    Sometimes it seems like half the people on these boards are Hasbro employees when you see people act like there's something wrong with you if you object to this kinda nonsense.

    Me not likese. 
    Waaay not enough spikes and they are just in a straight line and not scattered like in the concept art. And the colors are too bright. And the pieces the ring consists of have too many hollow cavities and not enough texturing. 
    But as I see the pegs for the effect parts in his face I think it will look awesome if you pose him with a lot of other figures attacking him and scattering the effect parts all over him.

    You don’t have to be a backer to buy this guy right?  And if it is available after will it be the backer price?

    Welcome to the 19th century, when a project like this is for US and Canada only... Way to disrespect your fandom, Hasbro :mad

    I think it would be a fair trade off for sure, say they pushed it back 6-12 months that would definitely be fine with me and people could either do about 100 a month for 6 months or about 50 for 12 months.

    Trying to again help those with wives, you can try the aggressive approach; you; "hey wife, I am backing a $600 unicron figure", wife; "fill in the blank to how your wife may respond", if response is negative the you say; "wife, if no unicron for me, I am getting a 19 year old".

    For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little HasLab Project, but now you will witness its dismemberment. For this price, it should have at least be TWICE this size or at least have some electronics. The barge WAS twice this size and 75.00 less. If it\'s going to be this size then it should have voice clips of Orson Wells. Hell, for this price and small size, they should dig Orson out of his grave and have him come to your house and say all of his lines every time you play with it!

    It looks great, but...
    >The price is ridiculous, I understand it’s Haslab but compared to Fort Max it doesn’t look like it should be any more than $300 IMO
    >He’s yellow? Why not orange?
    >For $620 after tax, there had BETTER not be any problems with this thing, I’m not looking forward to seeing a repeat of the Trypticon leg ratchet problem on a $600 figure
    >They really had to put the Siege blast effect pegs right on his face? Such an eyesore
    >No back view? He’d better not have any huge amounts of kibble back there. Of course, it looks like it’s mostly all on his legs :/

    Easy pass for me.

    Are there no pictures of the back of him in bot, or (more importantly) planet mode?
    I hope that neither is compromised -- in particular the planet mode back like for Armada Unicron.

    I've been cutting down on my TF buying quite a bit so I don't feel too bad about backing this...plus it's going to be a holy grail for sure.
    It'll make for a nice surprise in two years

    How about they shrink this guy down by about half, cut the price down to a high end titan, and then we'll talk.

    Man, that's expensive. I really hope this is successful, I'd totally understand if it wasn't
