HasLab Unicron Preorder on BBTS

[NightshadeX]

Man.. I'm glad I backed this thing. I sold some TFs and stuff to pay for it, but the haslab all-in price was so much better.

I know Zeta has a much more impressive transformation, but I got out of the 3rd party scene a few years ago... I honestly prefer 1st party stuff because it's more durable to enjoy with my kids.

Plus this Unicron's shellforming gives it a much better looking planet mode, which is honestly what I'm looking forward to more than the robot mode.

I have no idea where I will display it though. Billy Bookcases can't handle that thing's thickness, I assume...

So, I brought this up with my wife, and said, my plan now was to purchase two of them, and then sell one for twice the price in a year or two when they are an unavailable collector's item, thus paying off the first one. So, she looked at me and said "you want to spend $1700 dollars on toys?" and I said "American..." I was not given a "no" answer. So I continued with plans for where to display it, (proudly on the kitchen table), and was met with eye rolls, again not a definite "no". So I continued with plans to compliment it with the Lego Millenium Falcon, which had been previously vetoed by my wife. I was then told, that IF I wanted these two items, that they would come with another apartment, and a divorce lawyer. I took that as a "no"... I then went and watched someone doing a speed build of the Lego Millenium Falcon, and was satisfied with not putting together such a monstrous toy.
Hope y'all enjoy your Unicrons if you're getting one. I will not be acquiring this. My 25th Anniversary misb will be my monolith of a Unicron for ages to come. And my Armada Unicron will be the one that gets "played with" till it falls over and breaks and is then worthless.

Seconded!



Hell, the only one I'm sad I couldn't afford was FT's Omega. That one is still going to burn until I get one...

*Sigh. They were starting to bother me so I tried a spoiler tag to hide them. I can't believe this thing will put quotes around code, HTML, AND PHP but it can't hide something.... ><

Holy S**T that was comedic gold. AMERICAN lol

I wanted to do this because, buy two you will get yours free when you sell the second one. I did not have the money...but I was lucky to scrape enough to get one

Im afraid of changing the address and I need to. Not that the other address is void, I just have a newer better address. I'm so scared of not getting this lol
