^BW Neo Unicron at some point in the generations line would be awesome!

That was a lot of money, and I can't imagine anyone being happy to drop that much from their bank accounts a second time. Or even a first time if Unicron was deemed too expensive.
I mean, sure, having a big Planet Cybertron that could turn into Primus, a playset, or both, would be cool, but it'd also be about 700 dollars, which would be torture on the wallet.
I agree and am torn. Because as much as I want it to Be Primus, I couldn't support it. Just like Unicron, Id take a pass. BUT... I really want it to be Primus so Unicron has a proper rival...If that makes sense.
Also speaking of the economy (overall), at least in the U.S.... things aren't as good as they were back in 2019 when Unicron came to Haslab...and it was only by an extension that it got funded. I could totaly seeing it not fund, as it is
risky, but I'd still like to see the attempt be made. There have been other $700 plus crowdfunds recently that were successful. The Mattel MOTU Origins Eternia Playset (although that was basically a Holy Grail for most MOTU fans to be able to recapture something they missed from their youth).
Also the Ultimates scaled Thundercats Cats Lair from Super7, which is basically as BIG as a recliner chair, just as heavy & expensive. I'm not sure what motivated fans to get on board with that...but it happened. At the same time the S7 GI Joe Cobra Mothership literally crashed harder than it did in the animated intro it appears in, and that was only $500. Yet, we've seen Hasbro successfully fund GI Joe items. perhaps it was just a case of too much all at once?
Again though, I think it s a smart play by Hasbro (at least int he U.S.) to run this during tax Season, when many people will be getting their returns. Perhaps they can justify $700 for a Primus toy as a companion piece for Unicron. Perhaps not. I guess we'll find out in a little under a week.
