The reseller market will be hilarious to watch.
There's going to be two types of resellers.
Those who flip straight away and target desperate people.
Those who wait 20 years and sell a MISB "vintage" Planet Class Unicron. - This type I don't have a problem with and there will only be a few of them. Will be interesting to see what prices they can fetch by then.

Oh yeah, those that wait and keep hold of MISB stuff I take no issue with. They plan in the long term, which is fair enough. I look back on some of the stuff I had as a kid and the prices it can fetch now. It is often mind boggling.

Now, how much over will Unicron be in sales numbers? I don't thing the % will be greater than the Barge, but It would be nice to reach almost 50%.

Well would ya look at that.
I have slight doubts that he actually hit 8000 backers (I wouldn't be surprised in the least if some of those "preorders" were set up by Hasbro themselves ala Disney buying their own Star Wars tickets and releasing them in free giveaways to artificially inflate box office numbers) but whatever. I just hope he turns out good so that people that dropped £600 on this thing enjoy it.
I also do hope the Zeta Unicron emerges from the void once more, just so there's more Unicron to go around. But anyway, let's see how this turns out.

What's funny is that the retailers like Kapow Toys and BBTS still haven't had their numbers added to the total, as of this typing.

Congratulations to those of you who ordered, I hope a little over a year from now, you are very happy, and this thing isn’t a giant lemon.

It would be funnier and way more epic to go with the classic meme though.
Because the accurate version is already reached.

Indeed. I personally thought it wasn't going to hit the 8000. Which technically, it didn't, under the original benchmark.
That said, HasTak have yet to release a single high end item without some noticeable fault. I wonder, given his price point, when Unicron's flaw presents itself, will the buyers be as forgiving? At his size, it will probably be a lot more significant than BW Megs crumbling crotch...

After Sabrblade said that his order disappeared from his stack and he had to reorder, i've checked everyday to make sure he stays there, and he has.
Stoked that this is coming true. It's gonna be a great 26th birthday for me!

Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Nah, it was always going to spike at the end. The closer to the quota it got, the more confident people felt in pledging to it. Plus all the online stores putting in their orders.
