In Package Images of Platinum Edition Unicron with Kranix

This is the same as the Amazon exclusive release. New packaging, same product.

Does anyone remember what the price on the amazon exclusive was?

The powder blue on that product always made me think - is this Playskool Unicron ?

This shade of blue:


Looks darker than this shade (which seems to have some silvery tint to it):


And neither look as dark as the blue on the box:



What am I missing?

Could be a similar situation to Ultra Magnus where virtually no paint apps are changed, but the shade of paint used is different and/or there's a metallic hint to it.
Otherwise it could simply be a case of lighting tricking the eyes.

Glad to see a package again with only English on it. I guess this over-priced, but awesome set is U.S. only. Just thought it was odd not to see tri-lingual packaging. The only problems I have with multi-language packages is the sense of " 2 PC" and how we get bio's that are a blurb. To be clear, not a racist. Maybe because I hate how PC everything is will label me as one. Don't care. Anyone can Bot talk w/me.

I never had the amazon version, so if its not to much ill defiantly grab it!

Similar deco, different colors. Can't tell if any changes have been made to the Mini-Con but this along with the old pictures are 2 for 2 on making it seem shiny.

Looks different to me as well. Can't wait to see. One of my favorite Transformers toys of all time. Hopefully the mold gets retired after this use and we can get a new Unicron that transforms into an actual round planetoid. Love the new artwork as well, though I think I would have preferred to see Galvatron and his minions instead of Megatron and the Decepticons before their reformatting.

There's a separate thread for that.

This is the first retail release that had really caught my attention lol.
Combiner wars, RID and titan returns do nothing for me. For a long while I have been collecting only masterpiece figures.

This will be a release through toys r us correct?

Maybe in Canada. The U.S. hasn't gotten any Platinums via TRU stores since the Supreme Starscream of 2014.

They carried Year of the Goats, and currently have Giant Primal (can't remember what he's called, officially). They are mostly on line, but can be found in a few stores.
