25th Anniversary Unicron Gallery

[griffin]

Over at ACToys (http://bbs.actoys.net/read.php?tid=722205), are some pics of the latest redeco of the Unicron toy (originally release in Armada, and most recently in the JP 2010 line).

Interesting to note that the Minicon has been renamed from Dead End/Bug to Kranix (another Movie character name).

This is a US Amazon website exclusive, and probably available in Asia as well by the looks of the source of this gallery. I don't expect us getting this toy here, but I'll ask Hasbro.

That's a sweet looking Unicron. Do want!

[gantz]

With Jena!

Need. That. Unicron.

So glad I didnt bother with the Universe edition :D

I was all over the Amazon version before hand, but after seeing these pictures I am back to wanting to Takara version and therefore needing to find the big $ to purchase it.

[Tallestblue]

Ooooh. But oh god, how expensive will he be if he's ever released here?

[Deonasis]

If the pale grey used on the Takara version was used for the hands/head bits on this Amazon guy i think it would clearly be the better version. As they all stand now i can see how the fandom is split 50-50, Takara v Amazon.

I really hope that this does see a Hasbro HK release, that'd be awesome! :D:cool:

Looks awesome by himself. Amazon ships toys to aus right?

[gekisou]

The guy got it from Malaysia... maybe time to ask my Singapore contacts for help...

Amazon is like an agent, a bit like Ebay's stores. You search for a product, and it will list the people or businesses that have it for sale (including themselves). You then use Amazon's checkout/payment system to buy the item, no matter who it is actually coming from.
A lot of toys are restricted to just within the US, depending on who is the actual source of the item - some will say on the product page, while others will tell you when you proceed to checkout.

I can't find the 25th Unicron on Amazon, so they mustn't have it in yet (and mustn't do pre-orders).
When they get it in, if it won't ship internationally, check out ebay.

[Zippo]

Don't know when it happened, but Amazon (and not third party sellers via Amazon do ship selected toys internationally. You can order Dark of the Moon and Kre-o sets, as well as Unicron.

USA news sites went live with Amazon having Unicron in stock.
Managed to order 4, shipped direct to New Zealand for contacts here who wanted.

Sold out as I went to make another order for 4 more ..

[Hursticon]

Yep, Zippo's right. :(

Here's the link to the Amazon page (http://www.amazon.com/Transformer-25th-Anniversary-Edition-UNICRON/dp/B004ZKT4KI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1314304365&sr=8-1) and here's a link to TFW (http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-news-rumors/454119-unicron-amazon-25th-anniversary-stock-amazon-com-8.html) showing that some managed to pick them up but many have missed out and with quite a few suggesting that certain online retailers may of bought up massive amounts as they've been known to do so in the past. :(

Just ordered Unicron from them half expecting it to not work (The will not send to AUS thing ) And IT WORKED only $59 and $10 postage. WHAT! So cheap. I checked that I put my details in right twice.

But now it looks like he is sold out. Glad I did not listen to my wife and just grabbed it :D BWhahahaha :eek:

[griffin]

It's back in stock, with a note saying that more are coming.
Keep re-checking if it sells out again.

(I managed to order one, shipped for under AU$70... not bad. But damn, that was scary though thinking some toy-dealer scalper snapped them all up to resell at twice the price)

[reillyd]

He is in stock, ready to ship from Amazon (first wave sold out).
they WILL ship this internationally!

[5FDP]

Given the price it's going for on Amazon, it's a great alternative for anyone that can't afford the 2010 version (which seems to be going for between $200 - $350 on eBay right now).

[griffin]

Hehehe... in the last 30mins while I've been checking the link, it's gone from 'out of stock' to 'only 16 left' to 'in stock' with no 'only' message, suggesting that they have restocked with heaps more.

And yes, it is good to be able to get it shipped to Australia... it is so frustrating trying to order other toys from them and being denied due to location.

Awesome! Just bit the bullet and placed an order for one (since it's cheap!) :)

Pricetag is much more appealing than the Takara version. Plus he comes with "Kranix" instead of some crummy non G1 minicon :D

I already have the Armada version (and I'm not a big fan of the colour scheme on the Takara one) - so for only $70, why not? :p

[k.wong23]

omg i have been waiting so long for this and missed out! I HOPE THEY HAVE IT AGAIN its unavailable :(
