    Grimmy keeps getting better and better with every view of him.

    Alternity Megs... while it looks like a cool Transformer... I don't know if I buy it as Megatron. On the other hand, it could make an awesome new character... feel the same way about GTR Convoy too.

    I just saw the cost of Grimlock on HLJ, it's just shy of a hundred pounds w/o shipping...

    I'll be waiting for the Hasbro version methinks, and there will be a Hasbro version, any doubters are being a bit too cynical if they don't believe me. Hasbro were the ones asking Takara to do this, they've mentioned numerous times how if there were to be another MP figure that they (Hasbro) wanted it to be Grimlock.

    The only reason they could have for not bringing this over is the huge stinking mess we're all in now but they'll be worse off if they don't do something to recoup the development costs. The stumbling block will be getting retailers to carry it. :(

    To be fair, thanks to a £17 import/parcelforce-rip-off-ransom charge on MP Thundercracker he came to just over £100 anyway. The £ ain't too strong these days.

    Yeah, I want to know how big it is as well. For the price it should be slightly taller then MP Prime in bot mode. That'd make it worth the high cost.

    Grimmy's dino-back is kinda ... funky looking. Other than that, he looks great.

    Sorry if I'm ressurructing this thread, but I was busy since my sister's family were visting. Crazy little nephew.

    As I've said before, I hope Grimlock gets a US release, because he's awesome.
