I think I've made the biggest purchase rip off in history!! Last week a friend and I went to a comic book/toy's hobby store. I wanted to see what they had for G1 figures and current stuff. Well, this place has the best statues of all!! I mean these things are sick! I love Marvel and DC characters. I watch all the movies and try to keep up what is going on in the comic world. I basically know enough to get by...I'm staring at all these statues and practically drooling, but at the same time I'm chocking at the prices. As I'm looking at these displays, I'm wondering did they ever or do they make any transformer ones?? OF COURSE THEY DO!!! Stupid me, I forgot all about the Unicron statue that they released for the 20th anniversary of the movie in 1986. It was for $200!!! I can see myself spending that on a transformer that actually does something. So that got me browsing on ebay. Make a long story short some guy was selling it for $50...hmmmm, why in the world does everybody else sell it for $170-$300?? I asked questions about it and he said that it is in mint condition and nothing broken and it's absolutely 100% real. I bought it! Sure enough he didn't lie to me, I have the authenticity card and it looks identical to all the ones I've seen. Now I am 1 of 1986 in the world that owns the Unicron statue. It is a piece of history that needs to be part of my collection. For anybody that has seen the movie, it is a critical part that people memorized in their head.
