Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I went ahead and bought it. A $50 piece of plastic. But I was lucky enough to get a 2010 Unicron for $120 shipped, so I guess that kinda makes up for it. I am just worried now, because after I got my confirmation e-mail, I got a notice saying the store failed the automatic fraud check. I did use Paypal, so hopefully they'll cover me if anything goes wrong. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to the awesomeness that is a floating planet Unicron.

(Adventure!)
Finally, after $53.30, 3 weeks of waiting and kinda crappy customer service, I have my glorious Throne of Chaos.

Wow, that does sound rather complicated. But, judging by your usage of the word "glorious," which I am trusting to not be sarcasm, it sounds like you are at least happy with the final product. Owning one myself, I can't see how one could feel otherwise towards it.
That is a shame about the hoops you had to run through to get it, however. In particular, I'm curious in this day and age, where "postage due" is supposed to be an expression from times gone by, heard these days only if watching or listening to a dramatized entertainment from the appropriate era, how exactly that came to pass. What was the explanation that the postal worker gave you? (Hopefully not that they were hungry and needed money to buy a snack! )
And did you then send an upset message to the retailer saying, "The post office hit me up for $3.30, after I'd allegedly already paid you to cover the shipping. I would appreciate some recompense." Or at that point, were you tired of the whole thing and willing to write the $3.30 off as, "Well, at least I finally have my Throne and I don't have to deal with Monster Kolor anymore?"

Now, there's just one thing missing. A picture of your Unicron sitting on his Throne.

An image of Unicron sitting on the toilet flashed in my head.

That being said, I suppose (depending on who has this hypothetical super awesome 3d printer) it could save you the shipping issues Rodimus had to suffer through. But would it be enough of a thing to make justifiable the likely difference in cost and quality?
