    That grey is much paler than the G1 toys are - it reminds me more of Henkei Grimlock than G1 Grimlock.

    Won't be buying it (unless we get a similar version stateside), but it does look pretty decent.

    I think that's far and away the best deco they've yet given the toy.

    I was a fan of the original leader deco (and I think I'd love this deco on the leader)- but I'm not even sure I'll be getting the new leader deco. I'm really hoping Takara's dark version is actually good.

    Hate to be a purist but these colours make the Dinobots look a LOT more tempting. Would consider lifting my 'no AOE toys' if these got a cheap Western/Hasbro release.

    I'll pick one up for my collection, but I'd really like to see someone do this mold in the actual movie colors.

    Even a G1 repaint can't save a Bayformer.


    Hasbro marketing strategy is to have all the characters be different bright colors on the shelf to make them all stand out. Hasbro would not sell a set of Dinobots all in the same basic colors any more, because they thinks kids will describe them to their parents "I want the red dinosaur" or "I want the blue dinosaur", if they are all grey and gold, kids can't do that!

    technically 7-11 is japan's 7-11, Lawsons are just very similar. They're also a lot more common in my experience.
