Happy dance time! Received replacement hip/leg from one*day_bid!

 

Cool man! Let us know how it goes. Hopefully you don't have to take layer after layer off to reach his hips like Gutter. Best of luck! 

*I had to do this 3 times on Gutter.!

 

Tho I did the hip swap, it is still not as good as the reissue.

 

Piece of cake. High five!

 

@foxracing You look so organized compare to me lol. My Gutter is the original release but with Version 2 hips. Arms still feel loosey-goosey though.

@Evolv3d Looks as if you didn't have disassemble the whole bot to get to the hip thankfully lol. Glad to see you your Graviter's back to one piece. No lie,it was actually relaxing to take it apart and put it back together. (Well at least the 1st time lol)

 

I wish they would sell all the parts as kits and you had to assemble, only issue might be trying to get pinned parts in.

 

@Evolv3d You got them FlameToy and Gundam kits. Only downside about building your own Transformer is if you mess up/something breaks lol.

 

Good to hear, mine was shipped 5 days ago, just chased them up for update and they sent tracking number

 

Baba just posted Graviter on his direct store for $167USD...
GP HQ-04R Alloy Plating Sludge MP Iron Dinobots Last Batch

You'll get another $5USD off right now when you check out and you may get another $5USD coupon for signing up on his site... to potentially bring it down to $157USD shipped.

 

Appreciate it, @Ichibaru, but I already put my order in with RoboToyz. Wound up costing AU$232.50 (including half the shipping since I ordered two bots), which is around US$161.17, so I'm not too far off. The volatility of the AUD at the moment could change that very easily, though.

Though I am getting a tad nervous. It's not listing as a pre-order anymore but I haven't heard anything more since I was told that on the 7th. They did say it takes up to about 3 weeks to get from supplier to them, and then it gets sent out, so it's still within the expected timeframe. But still...

 

Replacement came for giga sludge yesterday just finished putting him back together, wow that was alot of work and judging by the pictures above I could have done it without completely taking torso apart doh.

 

Gigapower contacted me about my replacement wing for Graviter! Finally, after 9 months! Becareful when you guys transform him and peg the wings behind the neck in dino mode. My peg got stuck and broke off.

 

@Craigmcgowan1984 For Graviter's disassembly to get to the hips its much easier than Guttur's. Looks like you just take off 1 back panel and BAM,you have access to the Hips unlike Guttur's which was built "Layer after layer after layer." Anyways glad you guys got the replacement and fixed it but a part of me will miss your Graviter doing that 1 Leg yoga pose lol.

 

9 months!!
I thought they had a reputation of responding promptly.

 

I didn't realise that and I took it all apart, springs and screws going everywhere lol. Yeah had I been on my game this morning I could of done a battle scene and some wheeljack repair pictures but I was just wanting it fixed at this point lol

 

Hey guys, I'm looking into getting my very first GP dino. It'll most likely be a chrome version.
Of all the GP dinos released so far, which is the most popular and well received?

How would you rank them in popularity from highest to lowest?

 

I think swoop is the best looking out of them just dig the Dino mode, bot mode it's between sludge and snarl.

 

They do. It's just actually getting the replacement part is a pain.

Hmmm... I'd go with the following. One being the best.

1. Sludge
2. Snarl
3. Slag
4. Swoop
5. Throne/shield accessory set
6. Grimlock

 

@ChromeMagnus With what GP has released so far my faves are:
1) Guttur - Super Biased as Snarl's my favorite Dinobot lol.
2) Grassor - love the over all presentation look of him minus the tail kibble but can be removed.
3) Graviter - Magnificent looking Dino/Bot mode but personally for me I just don't find him interesting. (Maybe I hated Sludge growing up lol)
4) Gaudenter - Could've been the end all be all MP Swoop if it wasn't for the lack Ankle Tilt. Also the issue with my arm getting jammed up in Dino mode kills it for me and makes it's my least favorite. Probably just a QC issue with my copy but still ruins the experience for me along with lack of Ankle tilt.

As for Grimmy? Can't say yet but as folks keep pointing out,lack of an ankle tilt may ruin it for me once again but @ the of the day I'm glad I'm going to be done with this Dino Set. Overall they look great together and have a major presence on my shelf.

 

Snarl is best to me.
Sludge next.

As for Sludge being worth it? Absolutely! I paid under $200 shipped for mine but I wouldn’t sell it for under $300. I wouldn’t sell it either way but just to add a reference of value to it.
