    I'm a huge dinobot fan from the G1 days, dinobots coming back in the FOC game & then the movie led me to this forum but the only part of this set I would like is the box

    what a joke

    Am new to this forum. But I live In Australia and our exchange rate is set about 1 au $ to .94 us cents. These things cost more than double the US cost and all u get is crap. Will they come out with a real movie accurate Grimlock or am I expecting a miracle.

    No grimlock so far that has come out looks accurate not to mention the cost for it is a rip off.

    No. Sadly, no. And even if they were available yet on Hasbro toy shop, they don't ship outside of the US. So, I ended up buying one on eBay from someone who had one in hand... the expensive route, perhaps? I imagine the seller was at the Convention. I found only twenty or so there.

    I'd like to do a pictorial review of this thing, as it will be my first opportunity to do so for anything (If it hasn't already been done.)I don't get many chances to be the first to own something due to my budget and my geographical location, so it will be a real treat. I promise to be impartial. I should receive it around the 4th of next month.

    I went to the first day of AGC HK last week and there was no sign of this or other exclusives. I was very VERY disappointed

    I saw this auction. I think it's the same one that sold a G1 Big Powered set for 800+ and tried to sell an unreleased G2 ATB Megatron. If it's the same guy, then it's definitely a scam. I hope you did not win the auction.

    Neither this set nor the Legends of Rock set were sold out at the SDCC Hasbro booth by Sunday afternoon, when anyone can walk up and purchase whatever is left in stock. For those who don't know, Wednesday - Saturday you need a get a ticket just to wait in line at the Hasbro booth. They may have sold out by the end of the show on Sunday (I didn't stop by to check), but these were not fast movers for Hasbro. The TF Kreon set was sold out by Sunday.

    That's a fantastic set! The pop up Ark playset looks a lot better than I expected. I wouldn't use it but from a collector's standpoint that's a really great part to this set.
