For shipping, remember it's normally volumetric weight, not actual weight.

So shipping cost will depend on the size of the box... which will be pretty big I imagine.

It's at 2000... a quarter of the way there with five weeks to go.

I dunno, watching the video above, the rings can be disconnected, so I assume that would cut down the box size quite a bit. If it's packed in robot mode, then I imagine it being slightly larger than a Fort Max box with the rings packed behind him in the clamshell. Or he could come packed as a ball

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)

Put a pineapple on

-Bot mode (Detachable wings and stand)
-No accessories

reasonable assumptions I think.

Lol, this could be a very interesting long term poll.

Put a pineapple on

-Bot mode (Detachable wings and stand)

this is a given, it's already been stated by John Warden in the interview video from SDCC, your odds are 1:1.

next bet.

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.
