Only time will tell, and there's still a lot of it to go.

And given, I think a lot of fans are having to look at their budget to determine if they can make the deadline. It's really unfortunate they put this up with only a month warning to the deadline. I think a lot of people would have tried to save up for it.

The Prowl Bros have a new update. But I'm okay with the kinda crappy Universe mould. Especially since I don't have room to display them now.
Omega Supreme looks amazing. But that size .... do I really have room for him? Aren't I happy with YotS Omega Supreme? Do I need a new one to feel more fulfilled? No.
The new Seekers. I'm still very happy with my Classics Seeker mould army made up of exclusives and KOs. I'm not a fan of the "tetra jet" mode and I just don't feel in love with it enough to army build them the same way I have the Classics mould or the Sharkticons.
I already have T30 Jetfire AND the black Henkei Jetfire - is another one needed for me?
I've already got Amazon Unicron. So, in the same light, is this really something I need in my life? Is it just that much better?
...
OMG, I think it is. It looks amazing all on it's own, even if I already have that space "filled" with something I like a lot. I care about Unicron a lot more than Jetfire or Omega Supreme or the Prowl Bros. I just keep coming back to it and can just see how amazing it's be in my collection. Is he large enough to hold a version of Galvatron up in one hand? Maybe the small 3P one? I have the McDonalds Unicron - maybe he's big enough to hold that like a Matrix! Hah hah, why not?
Most of the new toys are replacement figures for things I kind of already have. And I just don't like most of them enough to replace my older figures. I have to give it a few days, tho. $600 US is just not an impulse buy sort of thing. But I'm getting more into the "I'm in" camp.

I would too. It's a bit worrying that it wasn't included in the initial reveal.

I think for me it was because of that 2004 Transformers: The Ultimate Guide book's cutaway illustration of Unicron's planet mode having placed an orb that looked like the screens inside his robot mode head.gothsaurus wrote:Interesting. I never thought where it was. Maybe the back of his head will open. LOL.

Hopefully, I'm wrong, but experience in life with big business doesn't leave much room for hope.

You really think they're going to increase the prices just because 8000 people, 8000 out of how many hundreds of thousands or millions of Transformers customers they have?
Hasbro isn't stupid. Hasbro isn't evil. There's so many on this thread that seem to think Hasbro just sits there and says "Let's see how much money we can get out of these stupid collectors! Let's raise the prices on all our toys so we'll lose even more customers to electronic/mobile gaming. Yeah! That'll show those stupid collectors. We so greedy!!!"

Except that HasLab products are "last resort" items made to be super premium for only the most nostalgic super-nerds with enough disposable income willing to throw away $600 for a giant that turns into a ball.Ironhidensh wrote:As I've thought about this today, I gotta say, I hope it fails.

At least the Titans turned into playsets with built-in interactivity for smaller figures found at normal retail, or into component figures that could likewise interact with some of the larger normal retail figures.
This Unicron, on the other hand, just literally turns into a giant ball-on-a-stick.
It's no wonder it's only being marketed to the market of rich nostalgic super-nerds since that crowd (which includes any of us here who are willing to fork over the money for this thing) is the only crowd weird enough to want to own a giant ball-on-a-stick.

As for not trusting them, Hasbro seems to have nailed the Jabba barge and delivered on it. I don't think there is any reason not to trust them.

1 Problem is, TFsource is getting MPM Megatron this week, and he's not due till August, and with Tfsource that usually means mid-September arrival. so that kinda hurts the budget for this.
I really want this to work. I also really wish they offered a payment plan or 2 more months to get the money, like a 100 day fundraiser.
May post an article encouraging it, not sure yet

I'll tell you what I may not be able to afford it right now and I certainly could later like Christmas time but if they were so close to reach 8000 and my contribution made the difference I would say screw it and commit
