I'm eager to get this at Comic Con next week

I have G1 Grimlock. This color app looks more like:

Holding out for the Leader Class maybe…

I just ordered this for a friend. You have to search for it by keyword under the Ticket section on the Loppi machine at Lawson. Then print out the receipt and give it to the cashier. The total price is 7080 yen. 1400 is for the movie ticket, which can be used at Toho Cinemas starting on August 8th. 5680 is for Grimlock. You have to bring your voucher back to the same Lawson location between August 20, 2014 and February 16, 2015 to pick it up. The total price is about 500 yen cheaper if you pre-order with a child's movie ticket instead of adult admission.

Not bad. I was hoping they'd do something like this for Grimlock, a nice nod to G1.

I was more the opposite. I knew Optimus Prime's name but I said I wanted the red truck. My brother wanted Bumblebee, so he said yellow car.

Beast Machines is all I think of when I see them too! I'd love a Beast Wars Grimlock repaint and Dinobot

It's official. You've won the thread.

man, even the movie aesthetic can't save that ugly G1 color scheme.

When I was the kid, I knew the names of the characters. Why don't the kids of today?
Then again, my parents did once buy me Gobots Bugbite and tried to convince me it was Bumblebee. But even way back then, I knew the difference.

Looks better than Slug (who looks like Dino Armor Iron Man in robot mode) but I'm still not interested.

Yeah, um, it looked fine with the Orange-gold color it was imo.

The G1 deco on Grimlock just isn't working for me the same way it worked for Slug.

omg, if they release all the aoe dinobots in g1 colors my wallet could die

He said "7-11", not "Shell" or "Texaco" or whatever. I've been to a Lawson's – think, "local groceries and basic goods". There's one (or an equivalent competing chain) within a block or two of virtually ANY spot in Tokyo!
What I don't get… so you buy your movie tickets @ Lawson's and get this toy? Cause Japan doesn't have a lot of movie theaters (to my knowledge), so it's an odd thing to buy the ticket locally and then travel somewhere to see the movie…Is this how you buy movie tickets in Japan????
I thought you just bought these at the stores, sans movie ticket.

Dino looks pretty silly with the bright gold and red, but the bot mode looks nice.

This is a GAS STATION exclusive?! Japan can be so strange at times…
I love his beast mode. Will be buying this just because of his beast mode, but that robot mode is still absolutely horrendous
Decepticons
Yessssssss! Why couldn't this be on the leader?!
Ramdomaccess
That cool and all but I really have been want ing a T-wrecks repaint of this since I saw him. Beast Machines Dinobots for Botcon 2015, Baby!

because Takaratomy/ Specialist shops in Japan have a secret code of agreement to make other collectors pay for exclusive repaints?!
