I'll sell off armada unicron for about 30-40 bucks to make this price hurt a little less.

The only thing about this is I could miss him and I don't want that, it's just too many times have I bought a figure and there is a big price drop and it ticks me off. So does anyone think Unicron will sell out quickly?
What I do for figures I suspect I'll be able to pay less for, is keep a tab on the inventory at BBTS. If the item drops below 10, I preorder. Continue to keep tabs though. A lot of times BBTS just raises their 'pre-order' order. One example is MP-04S Sleep Convoy. When it gets low enough, they add more to be purchased. By my estimation, they are buying in the neighborhood of 15-18% of the total 2010 figures to be released. If they don't raise it on Unicron, it's safe to say this will be in tight supply.

Please, please, please put this in the Generations line. We know that you already rereleased the Armada color-schemed figure in the Universe 2008 line, but this is a pure money-maker and will sell like hotcakes! Fans LOVE this kind of stuff and will buy it. Seeing as how much of a winner the Animated Arcee figure was, then this would undoubtly be a gold mine!
Signed,
The Fans

Apart from all my winging, he does look really good, and I am definently getting this. With all my wsts floating around him, I'm gona try and remake the Cinema poster. I wish his eyes were green and I wish alot of things, but at the end of the day, this is way better than beast wars unicron, and some of the detailing like the hip guards are spot on, for all the wongs there are so many rights, and the skeletal wings are just one of the unique design features that make this figure a must have.

Now all you need is Shining Unicron and you can have a circle of sadness, knowing you've spent that much on the same mold but don't regret it one bit XD

The sheel which will make up the surfae of the planet is still too dark looking, and the chest is nit nice atall, if only there wasd some relief to actually distuingish between the grey and the orange rather than just a clean straight paint line, it just looks painted on, and has no reasonm for the colour change other than to imitate the G1 incarnation, I'd rather it just go straight across, rather than a cheap looking paint app trying to disguise armada unicron underneath. Also the head sulpt looks like it was based on a dodgy drawing of unicron from the comics back in the day. If you look at the comics of old there are some ugly interpretations of unicron, He looks like he's whereing some sort of kull cap.

Dude the heck is your problem?
so what if our monitors don't show the same shade, you can view a screen shot of the movie on the same damn screen and check if it's accurate to that.
And the reason there is paint on it to let Armada Unicron look more like G1 Unicron, well duh that's the whole point of this repaint. the head is nice and looks just the same as in the movie all it needs is a minor paint app to his facial hair.

Sorry, mates, but the Circle of Ballin' Awesome has already begun: With all the Unicrons in my possession, I will rule all of Cybertron, your insignificant lives, and every single hot dog stand that has never sold hot dogs without cheese!!!

If by "Shining Unicron" you guys mean "Unicron of Light" (Hikari no Unicron), then I'm afraid your mistaken about including him in any "circle of sadness", as he's like the equivalent of a "Shattered Glass" version of Unicron. Meaning, he's a good guy.Blurrz wrote:Nigiri wrote:Razorclaw0000 wrote:I'm going to put all three of my Unicrons in a circle holding hands.

I think Nigiri was referring to the sadness of dropping hundreds of dollars on the same toy four times.Sabrblade wrote:If by "Shining Unicron" you guys mean "Unicron of Light" (Hikari no Unicron), then I'm afraid your mistaken about including him in any "circle of sadness", as he's like the equivalent of a "Shattered Glass" version of Unicron.

I ain't got a problem, you can see from the pics, we have been shown a pale orange to a deep rich orange, these are all the same in real life but due to colour calibration there is a wide variation in colour, and they are both side by side on the same screen. You clearly don't have a clue about colour, and there is no way of telling exactly what colour until you have it in your hand, even then due to production there will be variations from batch to batch, they are slight, but the variations we are beeing shown are big, If me trying to distinguish the shade and colour of Unicrons legs gets you so rattled then feel free to have a pop I don't mind.
Past repaints haven't tried to force the look on an existing mold, rather than work with it. It's like taking BT Convoy and painting windows on the Bonnit [hood] so that in bot mode it looks more like convoy. I don't feel that painting an orange stripe down the centre without any physical indentation does the figure justice, there should be some extra molding, or it should be left out all together. I feel my points are valid and are thought through, You should do the same, yes I am moaning about something I will buy, but so what I'm not attacking anyone or disrespecting anyones point of view, but feel free to carry on.
