I received an email from 3H Productions, Inc. (the fine folks who run Botcon) today reguarding the Unicron statue. They are ready to ship and shipping charges will be around $16.35 (if you attended the Con. It´s the shipping cost minus Indiana sales tax). AND, if you attended the convention and planned on picking up your statue, you will receive a voucher (separate from the statue) for $7.85 towards future Botcon merchandise. These totals may vary depending on your location and situation. But the important thing is, Unicron is coming!

Make sure you click on the ALTERNATE view to see each figure in robot mode. Scavenger and Jetfire are not available for sale - yet. You can view all of the Transformers Wal-Mart has posted HERE.

This case is almost the same as wave 6 except there will be no Wedge or Heavyload. Replacing them will be an extra Re-Designed Side Burn and Re-Designed Prowl. There is still a chance for you to find Storm Jet ,if you do not have one already.
