Unicron at Zing/EB Games

[Firestorm]

Just got back from picking mine up.

Ended up being lighter than I expected it to be.

But my god! The box.
So big...

Ended up not fitting inside the car....
Had to take it out of the box in the car park
Flat pack the box

And sorta force the styrofoam insert through the door

Took like 10 minutes and a lot of trial and error and disbelieving giggling

But it?s home now.

I have no idea where I put my Centurian Drone accessories. I need to find it so I can put my grey Optimus Prime on the little stand.

Yeh I got caught out too today picking mine up. One fit in the boot of my RAV4 but because I had my family with me (we were already out) I wanted to sit with the 2nd in the back seat but it wouldn't fit through the door. So had to make two trips but got there in the end. Haven't opened one yet but have the week off so will have some time to get it set up.

Can confirm, 2 unicrons will fit inside an i20 😂 My ute doesnt fit in the shopping centre car park so had to run the risk

Loaded it into my car with no issues. Hatchbacks are great

No headless horror story here. All present and correct, nothing missing, nothing broken, and I've transformed it. Damn those are some sturdy clips and ratchets. Definitely had a bunch of "oooooh" moments.

All in all, very happy with my new toy



Yes, how to properly attach it to the stand should be front and centre in the instructions. That was poorly done, as were a couple of other points in the booklet. Hasbro will Hasbro, I guess...

Was anyone seriously after that digital comic?

And now a sprog has set up camp in the empty outer box...

Mine is assembled and in planet mode sitting in the middle of the loungeroom floor. It certainly has presence.

Well I feel a little less foolish then. I have a decent sized ford falcon, and while there?s plenty of room inside the car its too big to fit through the bloody doors.
Zing were really nice about it and let me park it back in the store, so I?m having to get a friend with fold down seats and a big boot. I actually didn?t think about dismantling the box, but am glad that I waited. I am going to have to do some serious rearranging indoors though if I want to fit the rings on Unicron, but will cross that bridge later once he?s home safe and sound. First world problems, lol.

Thanks for sharing Firestorm.... I feel less silly now!

Really liking the shade of orange it turned out to be, too.

Just wanted to let people know, as I asked at the store today - you have 7 days to return it after you have opened it, if it has something significantly wrong and you prefer a refund.
After that, it could be like games & consoles, in that it could be more difficult to get a refund or replacement after that, as it it could be claimed that you had enough time to find something wrong and could have damaged it yourself.
Australian consumer law covers defective items, but there has to be a limit to the amount of time you take to find out that an item is defective, and I guess EB Games limits theirs to 7 days due to most of their sales are computer games and consoles.
(not defending them, just passing on what I was told - but I would imagine that people here getting Unicron have waited almost 18 months for it and spent nearly a grand... it would be unusual to just leave it sealed in the box for more than a few days, even if it is just to have a sneak peek at the awesomeness)



It took me two trips to get my two home, as I could only fit it through the front passenger door of my car... just. The back doors and boot were too small for a commodore sedan.
I'll wait until the weekend to open them.
