Fan-backed Hasbro project: Unicron

[Raider]

In planet mode (based on the pics) he will be about 15inches in diameter, with the rings providing the other 15 of the 30 total, so I could see a 20 inch cubed box. In bot mode you're probably not far away with the fort max comparison, but he looks pretty beefy depth wise so who knows how much that would add to the box. Plus all that extra weight, and the stand as well.

It will be a big boi either way. And its 18-24 months away...

We should start a betting service on him - boxed in bot or planet mode? Removeable head? List market odds for potential accessories too (mini Galvatron, mini armada, mini ship, half of a moonbase attachable to his mouth in planet mode etc)

According to the google translate feature on my browser and viewing the TTMall page, it says "Package size: W585 x H585 x D581 mm".

If that ends up being the case then planet mode will be the go.
I guess the extra size from my guess is there to accommodate the stand which I didn't consider, and no doubt some extra accessories
I wonder at what stage of a toy's design/production cycle the packaging is decided on?

I?m a backer, I think. Pre-ordered at Ohmyprimus. Now that I have secured a copy my only concerns are shelf space and it reaching 8000.

No, you're not a backer. Only people buying through Hasbro Pulse are officially backers and count towards the goal of 8000 orders. We as Australians are unable to be backers as Hasbro Pulse requires a US-issued credit card and a US address.

Well lol yeah that?s pretty....... obvious.

If it crosses 8000, I?ll be backer no. 8XXX, hence the I?m a backer....I think.

Where do you think the stores we’re all preordering off are getting this?

Places like RK and Oh My Primus are getting their stock from Hasbro Asia, not from Hasbro Pulse. Do you really think they would be buying stock at $575 USD each from America and shipping it to Asia and selling it for exactly what they paid?
