    Didn't they have Battle Unicorn as a Hasbro exclusive back in the day?
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

    This amazing exclusive comes packaged in an awesome collector gift-box,
    includes: collector cards, all 6 figures needed to form Piranacon,
    and weapons for each individual figure. This is the first time
    Piranacon has ever been reissued with the G1 color scheme.

    A portion of our shipment will be arriving by Air Freight in Late July and

    HLJ: "While we do carry a vast array of transformers goods, we do not carry the Hasbro items. "

    Well, robot kingdom it is then.

    Battle Unicorn was never sold in Japan by Takara in the Beast Wars Returns line, so that would make him a Hasbro markets exclusive toy - but in the same vein as other BM toys that were never released for BWR such as Buzzsaw, Longhorn, Nightviper, Scavenger, Mirage, Blast Charge etc.

    From TFwiki:
    "Battle Unicorn had an exceptionally short "shelf life", leading to many fans never seeing him on the shelf at all. However, Hasbro worked out a deal with online toy store Big Bad Toy Store, selling them solid cases of the figure (which managed to fill their warehouse for a good eight years)."

    From an Australian POV, like many later BM toys, Battle Unicorn was never released here.

    Looks like we get the cheaper price AND early release date,
    and save a sheer FORTUNE on scalper shipping

    That's twice now that people are reposting things that others have already posted on the same page. Seriously guys, have a read of threads first.

    Since it's going to ship very, very soon, should we consider a group order?
