the new Unicron 16" Figure

Shay · Post by **Shay** » Fri May 02, 2003 1:49 am

I saw this in the April Previews (of Diamond) but can't order it since I'm outside the U.S.

anyone knows a place that I can order it from?
please?
desperate...

You can wait until they hit storeshelves. I doubt they'll be too rare. Wait until it's closer to release time, and internet sites will have pre-orders, if you desperately want one.

that's the major problem - being outside the U.S., ordering through Diamond etc. is most of the time the only way to get these figures...

you can order a case & sell the rest, but it's more likely to get here than to the shelves...

anyone know of specific online sites/shops/specialty outlets that sell new TF figs in priceslike those suggested here?

$75 for 1 Unicron, for instance?
most places increase the price by hundreds of percents...

any concrete site?
anyone?

BBTS has it up for Pre-order, as does KBtoys.com. But I don't know their shipping limitations.

I think Toysrus.com might have it but once again, don't know their shipping

Unicron for $60. I don't know how much shipping to outside the US will be. I highly recommend Big Bad Toy Store.

Its a large figure, what do you expect?

Besides, the price isn't set. I've heard its supposed to retail for $49.99 (not much more then Armada Super Base Prime and obviously a lot cooler). My guess is these sites are being conservative and currently pricing it at $60 till they are certain of the price. That way they don't say one price now and end up hving to raise it when Unicron comes out

Yup. It's about time. I'm especially glad that he has the minicon gimmicks, too. Those are awesome!

Its just more than I can afford. If it does end up being a little cheaper, I might see what I can do.

Hi I am new to this board..
I have a friend who works at ToysRUs and he just put
3 Unicron figures on hold for me...
He said that the list price he has is $49 US..

How the designers managed to make a planet-robot transformer i will never be sure.

Brave Maximus · Post by **Brave Maximus** » Thu May 08, 2003 1:49 pm

he looks quite squarish on the back side. Butstill very cool, I dunno though, I always like the Neo one better, but that;s me.

As for price, remember how much Fort Max or Metroplex cost in the 80's? It's actually not that unreasonable.
The problem is, here in London (yes london canada) we've just got wave 3 armamda toys. I haven't even seen a jetfire yet. So It's probably going to take many months after his release for Unicron to make it north

It may just be coz I live in regional NSW, but the only Wave 4 Armada TF I've seen has been Armada TC in my local TRU. The only time I've seen "Robbie Rocketpants" (Jetfire) was when I saw a dozen (or so) in a Sydney TRU about a month ago.

I haven't seen hide nor hair of Galvy, Dark Saber, Sea Team or Night Attack. The only G1 re-issue I've seen in TRU Express (Wagga) has been Oppy, and according to the catalogue, he's not even supposed to be in Express stores.

Thanx be to distributors. They stop me from spending my money.

Oh well, when August stuff comes out, I'll just get TRU to get it in from Sydney. Stuff the distributors!:mad:

I'm probably going to Order Uni from BBTS or something because I can't wait for TRU Canada to get their act togeater. I really want him
