How does it feel knowing you spent $600 for this?

I'm legit disappointed. It should not have been $600 it should have been 300, and it shouldn't have been a permanent exclusive. Capitalism is a mental disorder, fellas.

Since you don't feel your copy is worth the money you paid, perhaps you should sell it. You'd make a pretty penny too. Better hurry though. Prices might go down once this initial craze passes.

If its just about the teeth, here's the fix. Yeah, it sucks that Hasbro pinched pennies that tight and they need to be called out on it. The ring is pretty blatant and they need to be called out on that, too. If it's about folding panels and hollow bits, that's on you for not following up. Enough people complaining, and backing it up with facts and not "lol mega-corp simp" insults would affect Hasbro's ability to sell future Haslab and other big ticket projects. How much is up for some debate, but a 1/12 X-Wing might hit a snag if there's a chance Hasbro cheaps on the paint or something.

Cope, once I sell this third one it’ll be like I got paid $600 to own the fourth one. Even if it doesn’t sell for some reason it’ll be like I got two for free.

There’s no reason not to buy extra toys and flip them to pay for the other toys if you know how the market works.

Exactly. These are made to order, which is why they also hold value. All I did was put three additional Unicrons out in the world. If anything I drove the resale value down.

Scalpers are annoying but they had absolutely no impact on the secondary market. If no one had bought with the intention of selling, this made to order item wouldn't even be available on eBay at all. The person who buys five of these is ironically making them more available, not less.

It’s true. These are speculative markets, though. The moment normal people can see there’s money to be made, it’s too late. The sail barge and unicron were safe bets but I don’t think the resale on the Sentinel or Razorcrest will be too much over MSRP, a massive amount of people bought them specifically because of the sail barge resale value so the supply will outstrip demand.

I think it helps that the Sail Barge was the first of its kind and the Unicron is sort of a "niche" item. The 1986 movie is obviously very well remembered, but the amount of people willing to spend $600 on a 27 inch tall Unicron is probably lower than the number of people who are willing to pay up the ass for an X-Men Sentinel.

What's the issue with the ring?

For that matter, people are complaining about the teeth? I presume because it's not painted silver? I can understand that, although personally, I like that it's blue because when you take the face off, it'd be weird to have that blue face but silver teeth standing out. It would be like, a human skull with naturally gold teeth.

My question is, where were these people who are willing to pay 2-4 times the original price, during the crowdfunding? Did they just happen to miss it?

Boggles my mind that so many people somehow miss out and then want to pay 2-5x more.

The "kickstarter" was advertised for a very long time in prominent places and then had an extended period to get even more buyers to join in.

A lot of people still buy their shit via ebay even though it's literally available from retailers much cheaper. I don't fucking know why, people hate money I guess.

Since you haven't been paying attention, rhe issue with the teeth isn't that they are unpainted, its that the top teeth ARE painted white the bottom are not, resulting in silver grill unicron.

Depends on how long you're willing to wait. Prices may take a bit of a dip after a while but after a few years, they will likely begin to climb again and get much higher in the long run unless Hasbro decides to do another wave. I suppose there's not much stopping them since they have the molds now and these are made to order anyway.

The thing is, the whole skull was supposed to be painted silver.

My three favorite aspects of a toy are villain character, unfathomable power, and big size.

Naturally I bought this immediately.

I saw the teeth and the maw mis color, which I may fix if it really bothers me in-hand, but not likely. It will still be the enormous, all powerful, villain of my dreams!

Even if there is another unicron made in the future, unless it is bigger than this one, the haslab will be my fav. And hell no I don’t plan to sell this!
