A new one was just listed from a NEW amazon account that undercuts the previous scalpers shipping by 2 dollars lol.
I hope whomever buys Unicron at the scalpers price leaves them a negative feedback!

Besides the name change, is Kranix / his head a retool of the old minicon as well? Anyone know?
Is it not the same minicon that has come with every release of the unicron mould? He looks the same as all the others I have. :/
Yep, same figure - Different colour scheme and name. ;):)Quote:

I bought 2 blu rays as well as Unicron. Just got the shipped email as well. Funny thing is, they were shipped seperately (i assume this cos i got a seperate email for unicron) and the shipping cost for unicron was 5.61 and the shipping cost for the blu rays was 6.98 lol.
My Unicron has been shipped today too. Cant wait for the super cheap Chaos bringer to arrive :D
So pumped for this aye :D No idea where I'm gonna put it though, might have to go the suspended planet using fishing line trick :p
One of mine still hasn't shipped, which is against their 'we only charge you when your item is shipped story' .. they have charged me.
Eventually it will ship.
And fingers crossed some more are orderable soon.
That happened to me too. Ive been charged but has not shipped.Quote:

Mmm i wonder when they put that up n at what price? I guess the mass orders came from online stores like rk.
I have the Armada and Energon ones and really I think that's enough for me, I was thinking about it when people said it was $70.00 but I more than likely won't see that price again and I'm not paying the inflated prices of the scalpers market:rolleyes:, I may change my mind later on down the track but I don't think so.

Not as cheap at $89 US but since I was not able to purchase from Amazon looks like this will be my only option
Finally shipped.
And for those who are waiting for one, I say continue to wait.
Amazon isn't going to have ordered 500 units and put them all for sale on the first day. There will be restocks, its just a matter of waiting.
Xmas is coming soon and stores want to have those items around for that sale period.
The RK listing will be stock sourced from Hasbro Hong Kong.
I reckon that is probably sound advice man and as such I am going to do just that and wait until a restock, but...Quote:

If RK still has some in stock in a fortnight's time, I think I might bite the bullet. :o
OMG...Rk... $90!!
So happy I got mine from Amazon...
I hate it when fansites and online stores watermark official/stock photos, as if it is their property. I don't mind them doing it to their own images, because it makes it easier crediting the source without having to remember who it is, but this just bugs me.
It can make it tough finding official pics to post up here and archive when most have a website's name through the image... and it's not like RK have an exclusive with those Unicron images either.
I probably won't end up getting one of these, but for some reason I keep searching for them! Yahobby.com has them for 109.99 with 32.99 shipping. Maybe if I find one for $60 somewhere.....:p
^ 100% agree with this *I'm looking at you also TFW*Quote:

I am on the same search and am equally perturbed by the situation you mention. Feel free to grab any images I've already collected from www.itfdb.com
So what "line" would people class this figure?
Intereting thought there Jaydisc.Quote:

Athough I susect I have other '25th anniversary' figures floating around somewhere, Like MP Rodimus...:o SO that could be a line in itself...
It's that red 2010 packaging.... like the Seacons. I have MP Rodi as "Masterpiece" line, but this?! These things mess with my OCD brain! (as well as my ability to run a database site)
I'm gonna follow the Seacons and go with Commemorative Edition until I hear something better.
Haha! :DQuote:

Current ones for sale;

Really? - Someone is asking $10,000 for one?, WTF!?! :confused:
People can do the same with any official pics I put up in the Resource section, as they aren't my images anyway.Quote:

MY UNICRON ARRIVED TODAY! AND LOOKS BETTER IN PERSON :D
Awesomeness. I can't wait to see mine.

Although, if you go by packaging to sort your TFs, you'd probably stick it with the other red-boxed 'Transformers' figures that uses the Generations coloured packaging but not the 'Generations' name. There aren't many, but it appears to be the current Store Exclusive "default" packaging if the toys aren't Movie themed.
Others include:
4 Single Packed vehicle Minicons (redecos)

Cybertron basics (Backstop was a redeco, others are unchanged)

Ultimate Battle (Optimus Vs Megatron - both unchanged from previous release)

Rage over Cybertron (WFC 3-pack)

Seacons

Hasbro Masterpiece Rodimus

Got mine.
Lucky the shipping turned out okay- no damage- but there was no packing materials in the box - :(
I haven't opened it yet, but the size and weight of the packaging surprised me somewhat.
Cant wait to open him up !! :D
The four I ordered arrived today (perfect timing with the estimated arrival date). One was damaged in transit, and only two had padding in the box.
But for $8NZ postage on something so large, you can't complain.
