Only if it's a Haslab project for $300, and it's over and backed before we learn that Rodimus was a retool of Earthrise Leader Prime. The screams would be music to my ears.

Where is that silly rumour coming from?

Could you be a bit more specific good sir, I have quite a few silly rumors going there.

The one of the retool

He was asking about the asinine idea that any Rodimus might in any way be a retool of ER Prime.

Again, this thread is about Unicron, and should be returned to its topic. CC Rodimus has its own thread, more than one, in fact.

What I'm affectionately referring to as Unicron #1 is in the house!



really impressive weight and dimensions when you have him put together...

somewhat nerve-wracking trying to figure out how much force to apply to crack the shell open though

what I affctionately refer to as Unicron #1 has arrived!

very impressive heft and dimensions in planetary mode

nervewracking trying to figure out how much force to apply when cracking open the shell

screwhole covers are a nice touch to finish the appearance (thought one of the pincers was misassembled at first)

Congrats!

Let's see some more updates.

Where is everybody at?

I have a notice in my FedEx account about a label being made, but otherwise no shipping info.

Work. Because I needs the monies for the Unicrons.

Same here. I'm typing this while on my break, which ends in two minutes as of this typing.

No shipping update yet, checking my email regularly. I just got the latest Kingdom Voyagers today, so I have things to tide me over.

If you've ever been curious as to how Australian's unbox things...

I'm seeing a LOT of people who have FedEX tracking numbers in their accounts, who only see the label has been made and that the package has not been picked up. The same folks have not had a shipping update at all from Pulse.

It's super frustrating to see people who not only have tracking and/or shipped figures, but others who have them delivered and in hand.

But...It seems there are more in that spot than the other, so don't feel like there's a problem or anything. Haslab just seems to have no rhyme or reason as to when anyone gets their figure.

It's not you, it's them.

Yeah, mine has been sitting at label created since 3/8. No emails or updates. If I didn't have a FedEx account I would have no idea.

I didn't have any info until I woke up to pulse's "an item from order XXXXXX is on it's way" email this morning. Label was created back on the 8th, shipped the 19th, and is estimated to arrive friday. Any irritation at how i was out of the loop even as it progressed has been smothered by the anticipation.

Emerje, when was the last time you double checked your label for updates? It might have progressed without notifying you.

Unicron has arrived today, moments ago. No flicks yet but note for other buyers.
Fedex did NOT need me to be there to sign.
They left it on my side porch and signed for me.

I still have not even received a tracking number/shipping label created notice to my FedEx account, so I called Hasbro Pulse (which is never helpful) this morning. The customer service rep confirmed that indeed there is no shipping label generated yet for my order but to keep an eye out for when they send an email to inform me that it has shipped Hopefully I’ll get mine in time for quarter 2

UPDATE: An hour after this morning's fruitless call to Hasbro Pulse and their assurance that I had not yet had a shipping label created and that there was nothing they could do to provide me an estimate of even when one may be provided, I received a text FedEx alert of "Signature req'd by someone at your address for package delivery 03/24' along with a tracking number. The FedEx Tracking details state that it's from Chino, CA with a 14 lbs weight description, which lines up with the origin and weight description described by others who have already had their Unicron shipped. The FedEx shipping details also state that the shipping info/label was sent to FedEx (BY HASBRO) on March 8 as most have stated their labels were created with no further movement. Had I not been enrolled in FedEx Delivery Manager I would have never received info notifying me of my impending shipment. Again, all of this after contacting Pulse and still no email update from Pulse stating it has been shipped. What if I wasn't home tomorrow? I know I'll be satisfied with my Unicron. I've seen too many reviews to know that its highly unlikely to be the contrary. But I would hope Hasbro could do better on their communication when customers are expecting an item this big and this expensive. I shudder to think of how things are going to go when it's time for my two Sentinels and the Razor Crest to ship while juggling my end of quarantine work schedule.

Another day, another lack of notice or anything.

About 5 minutes before that last post and again just now, still no change.

UPDATE: And FINALLY at 6:30 pm PST I get an email from Hasbro Pulse telling me my order is on the way. Just this morning they told me on the phone they had not even had a tracking number yet. It's just a really good thing that I'm on quarantine from my job (if there is a silver lining to find during a pandemic), otherwise this confusion could've been a lot more stressful.

Did Hasbro ever show what the Unicron prototype's face looked like without the lower mouth / chin piece? I'm trying to find a picture of what that part of his face looks like to figure out how they handled the silver teeth. If I took a silver sharpie to the bottom teeth, should I do it to the top ones as well which are covered up by the top part of his face? Thoughts and suggestions please. Unicron's bottom blue teeth are bothering me!

Are you signed up with Fedex?

I feel like they might have demonstrated it in a video at one point, but I can't remember, pretty sure they never showed pictures. His top teeth are actually part of the removable face plate, what's shown in that picture is a second set of teeth behind them. And really, with his mouth closed you can't really make out the bottom teeth since they sit behind his top teeth, not sure if it's worth the effort unless you're displaying him with his mouth open, I know I wont be. Then again you sacrificed a Soundblaster figure so Siege Soundwave could have a red visor so I guess that probably would bother you regardless.

Yes dude. I'm 100% up to date, connected, and with it when it comes to this stuff.

My tracking # was generated on March 9th. It's in my account.

Nothing has changed since then, it's still pending.

EDIT: since the 8th.

Subsequent EDIT: I spoke to Pulse Customer Service and they said these are being shipped out geographically, which is super. Literally everyone I know in my local area has theirs or has it arriving today.

Am I irritated? Yeah, I am. I'm not even going to pretend to apologize about it. I don't care if it's later or earlier, I just want something to make sense and not be a big info void.
