This is a really good point. One that I definitely appreciate hearing in the realm of plastic toys.
No way was I going to be able to justify buying this figure, but it looks incredibly good...
I don't know how you properly display such a giant, but maybe it's a good problem?
Obviously, The answer to this is to buy an entire new shelf, Devoted solely to Unicron, Stick it in an empty corner (Also now devoted to Unicron) And eagerly await January 2021, While also sacrificing (at least) one, Full mortgage payment to The Chaos Bringer, Unicron.
Obviously.
At least, That's what I did.
Seriously though, I really wish Haslab had found a way to lower the price of the figure, Maybe even shrunk it a little (Maybe even enough to lower the cost to make it feasible to sell at general retail) so that everybody that wanted one could afford to own one. Not everybody wants to go through the trouble of
having a kidney surgically removed to sell on the black market taking out a loan just to be able to afford the darn thing.
I personally thought about backing it for three weeks before I did. The way I looked at it, There was no other character I would've been willing to spend that much money on, And also no other figure I'd want to be that large. Also, I've really,
Really always wanted a Unicron. Other than the many repaints of the Armada Unicron mold, There were really no other (transforming) options for Unicron. Honestly, I think the Armada mold holds up pretty well, All things considered, But something always seemed slightly
off about it to me, Which is what stopped me from buying it each time I'd considered it over the years.
But the Haslab one.. Just ticked all the right boxes.
I honestly tried the
hardest I could over those three weeks, Trying my darndest to find at least
one flaw in the figure that I couldn't live with (I didn't).
Now that I've typed this all out, I really don't know where I was going with it, I guess just how
I justified it.
I just wish more people who wanted it would've been able to afford it (Or alternatively, It been cheaper so even the people who
could afford it, But couldn't justify the price, Would've been able to get it.)
Oh well.
