Well the retool of FoC Grimlock looks pretty cool.

 

Oh good, another thread where adults can complain about kids toys being too simple.

 

Completely different than a 1-off, or even limited character line. Any line can have a couple stinkers who don't sell that will drag the last few waves (which may be sought after) to a discounter. Shorter lines such as Constructbots and Kreons are a little more concerning when they hit discounters heavily.

I do think that this guy (at least the original) had some things going for it, both size and detail, so this may do alright at Christmas.

 

Oh god it's real, oh Hasbro, you never cease to amaze me  

No kid wants this overpriced piece of garbage.

 

The problem with toys like these is that kids can look up reviews about the toy and see if it's worth it.

 

yeah, except this thing is clearly meant to "rip off" anyone who buys it.. it's big, it's very cheaply made, but it's unbelievably expensive.

an $80 toy, even one meant for kids, should have more to it.. there should be a bunch of weapons, or a couple smaller figures to ride this thing.. or anything else really. but no, it's just an inaccurate dinosaur with a handle that turns automatically into an inaccurate robot. i mean, they didn't bother remolding a single thing, just so that their margins would be even larger.. because hey kids won't know the difference anyways.

the reality is, kids deserve more than this thing. and the parents deserve to get more for spending $80.

i don't want this thing clogging up shelf space as much as the next guy, but if it's going to, it should at least be something cool. this, isn't.

 

Right now I wish this site had a like button

 

This is so friggjn stupid. Devastator was a better idea to.load up.the shelves with. He's built.well and has lots of characters, lots of construction vehicles AND a large character all in the same boat. This doesn't even come with any accessory's or characters and is littrrally too.large for a kid to run around with.easily.

I CANT STAND that all we have is walmart and kmart and ever since the.movie line, AOE, we basically.have NO TRANSFORMERA! Kmart completely got rid of them and walmart only has one steps and I saw ONE SINGLE WAVE of Wave3 deluxe's and leader Megatron.where.I.did grab g1 megs but now there are 5 Armada Megs sitting there for months and I got Takaras Megatron so I.can't feel.right about buying one to.help.the store out. Its sad, its really sad. When I KNOW if they.had combiner.wars and probably RID dlxs they'd sell but can u believe WALMART of all places hasn't got a SINGLE RID deluxe??!! Its ludicrous!

 

I liked AOE Stomp and Chomp Grimlock ...

DISCLAIMER - did not buy it till he was on clearance...

I think 80.00 is too much, but the toy itself is fun, big and NOT a waste of plastic.

It would have been nice if they gave the RID VERSION a new head ....

I will probably get the RID version ( if he goes on Clearance)

 

Hasbro continues to waste thier time and money on these repaints nobody asked for, yet for years many people have asked for a new Beast Wars Dinobot, and they don't do shit.

I wonder when the next Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron and Starscream repaints will be released.

 

Well it looks like Takara beat Hasbro again with their Grimlock retool. Until there is somthing good at NYCC I'm done with Hasbro.

 

I'll say this. RID's deco is better.

Agreed.
