Oh dear, that's extremely low retailer support if true (as in all retailers)
Well, I've ordered through Zing.
At the end of the day, if it doesn't get made, no-one gets it and we all miss out on another Unicron that hasn't gone to production.
If it gets made, I've got a year to prepare funds to pay it off without the wife finding out, and we've got what is arguably the best deal in the world.
If it doesn't get there, I can't complain.
If it get's made? I think I'm done on buying Transformers. Happy, but done.
Until of course something catches my eye.
After much deliberation, I placed a deposit down today.
Now the wait!
I think I’ll preorder too. I am concerned that either store may not exist in 2 years but, without needing to pay more than $100 until close to release, the risk is minimal and worth it.
Been more or less out of the Transformers / collecting loop for a few years now, but just pre-ordered from EB (think its the first thing I've ever bought there). Too good an offer to pass up if it happens.

We've got a great deal through Zing... and a fantastic option of just placing a deposit first and not the full sum.
Put your 100 bucks down and start saving, folks! :p
Orrrrr... you can just pay off $50 a month in store for 18 months and walk away at the end without having to fork it all out
Well, pre-ordered 2, 1 each at Zing and EB Games. Not sure if I'll actually go through with both but at least I give myself the option.
Good round up Trev, one thing I do want to point out though is that the listed prices are a mix of tax inclusive and exclusive prices. The EB/Zing price obviously includes GST but others such a Robot Kingdom's don't and you would be invoiced for that on top of the extra shipping fees
