    February/March

    The Asian Market gets theirs a bit earlier, and by a bit I mean 7-8 weeks. Soundwave came out awhile ago overseas and BBTS has yet to get them in stock yet.

    If you want Grimlock that badly (like I did) your best bet is to order one now.

    Both are so very, very high on my want list. They're really the only FOC toys that still interest me at this point aside from the Combaticons, who I have not been able to acquire due to my college not being anywhere near a retail store.

    Grimlock especially interests me, since he's pretty much the Classics Grimlock everybody has wanted and he comes with both the huge-ass sword AND a bruiser shield. That's just awesome.

    That's because at SDCC they have people hand paint them. You can look at the product, just not the "finished" one. Grimlock looks nice though!

    EDIT
    I wish they put more paint on him. He looks kind of bland. Plus, his arms aren't game accurate. That's a nitpick though.

    I preordered Grimlock from RK months and months ago so hopefully he'll show his face soon!

    Luckily for you there is a nice thing called the Takara version, which will no doubt be much shinier and look more like the SDCC version.

    Blaster is a 50-50 buy. Grimlock is a definite one. :D

    60 bucks is a bit steep for something that is voyager sized.. I know most grimlock fans will by the takara version, but the us version is for me.

    What's with these people wanting shiny paint?

    Just enjoy the actual toy.

    I ususally don't import TT figs though.

    I just was hoping that more of the bronze ended up being paint. Will wait excitedly for in hand pics.

    I'll be getting them......when they go on sale.

    (hey, I have a big collection, and it wasn't because I bought everything at regular price)

    I just cant decide...Do I want to wait for, if history repeats itself, months and months for these guys to make their way to regular Canadian retail...Or....Do I dare just go all in and pick them both up?

    grimlock is definitely worth waiting for a takara version.
