So how limited does anyone think this was or is at this point? :VEHI:

Fri Aug 26, 2011 8:04 pm

I'm GUESSING about as consistant/floundering either way as the listing has been?

I got mine this morning before I went to work, glad I did seeing as it's gone again. But I think it will be available again after they take a look at stock perhaps.

This too will also be my first Unicron as well. My C00 Primus has been waiting for this.

I got mine from Amazon, but online retailers like YaHobby, and other scalpers are buying up large lots of them from Amazon as they become available. Then turning right around and selling them for 100+ dollars. This sucks, and makes it difficult for those of us out here who just want to have this for play and display.
I can't fault any company though for trying to make a buck. It just kinda sucks.

I wish there was some quantity limit on this purchase to keep scalpers and mark-up hungry online toy stores from sucking the wind out of the fun of having these toys.

I can understand charging high prices for stuff that is no longer produced, or is imported, but to buy something from one online retailer and turn right around and charge twice the price, knowing they bought at least a dozen or more seems sh***y.

Oh well Capitalizim is what makes the world go around... :-?

Sorry, just my 2 cents.

Im seeing these on ebay already ..cheapest 1 is $125.. LoL..I'll be happy with my loose complete Armada Unicron I scored from BBTS for $40

Unicron is the harbinger of chaos. He is the source of a deep and infinite darkness. He trolls the universe without haste or fear. Unicron devours the entire solar system with numbing precision. Unicron devours moons and stars and life itself. He cannot be stopped. Special edition.

I'm not trolling, I just thought it was funny.

I was so excited to hear that this was going to be at Costco's in Canada, but then I remembered that my Costco doesn't have toys :sad:

Hasbro's usually bright and sometimes overcomplicated color schemes are geared toward children. However, we can't forget the fact that this item is geared towards collectors. Having such a limited release and high price point means that Hasbro knows only the most hardcore of fans will buy this figure. (In fact, kids nowadays don't even know who Unicron is). That is why they should've sticked with a more Movie-accurate color scheme to appease the collectors. I am disappointed that they didn't put more thought into this guy. You just can't mess with such a large figure.

If there is a silver lining, it is that the Hasbro version's hands are actually the same color. I have just always hated that light-up hand.

Yep, there are currently two Amazon sellers offering Unicron for $249 and $299. I hope everyone waits and does not buy one of these.

That's not too bad, considering the slick new paint job.

I emailed the "resellers" and sent a letter to Amazon about the scalping, for what it's worth.

Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:49 pm

YES!

One of the scalpers has taken theirs down!

Why? It's not against Amazon policies to post things at ludicrous prices.

Sat Aug 27, 2011 8:07 pm

And it's not against the rules to let them know they suck, either.
