    In one of the Big W 'big toy sales' a few years back both Energon Omega and Unicron were down to something like $70 and they flew off the shelves. I don't remember Armada Unicron shelfwarming that much but I also don't recall seeing that many of it. I got mine on special in a previous Target 'big toy sale'.

    I know Armada Unicron was supposed to be the G1 Unicron we never had but... to me (Yes, I know I'm a weirdo ) Energon Unicron's colours make him look more like a realistic planet
    Not necessarily more realistic for me but I absolutely agree. Energon Unicron's colours are pretty downright bad@$$. Not G1 but heck it's a creepy paintjob. I recall finding him for $50 from a guy in a random collectible shop and then reserving it for Borgeman who didn't have a Unicron. I so regret not buying it for myself now b/c it's pretty pricey these days and I do want one.

    The movie hadn't 'happened' the last time Unicron made an appearance either, so I would support the 'could be popular this time around' view. That, and I didn't get one before, so I'm definitely getting one this time around

    I bet the initial price point will be painful though, at least until sale time comes around. I'm getting visions of Unicron in planet mode inhaling and devouring the wallets of the toy collecting citizens of earth (shortly before making his home in their living rooms... )

    Armada Unicron sold for $145 - which was reasonable. Hmm... how much was Primus? $150?

    Got my Primus for $99.xx on release day at kmart.

    Unlike supreme starscream, it was a popular figure that didn't have the chance of being heavily discounted down to $69.

    I want a unicron, I havn't got one yet. And I'd get it like I did Primus if they did that again.

    Funny how a Unicron was announced, I was thinking of the very figure in a way that I reckon they should do a 1986 movie cast release of toys. Not all of them, but the main characters that were more or less introduced in the movie. Put Energon unicron in and put (what we suspect they will make), an animated arcee, and the rest of the figures original G1.

    $150 reasonable for a bunch of moulded plastic? I'm not so sure about that one

    That is exactly the price point I had in mind though. The big surprise to me is that Primus and Unicron were so expensive to start with! I never saw them for so much, but wasn't shopping at Myer back then either...
