    Will do. If anyone could ask them via email it would be nice too. I'd do it but I'd rather not seem too pushy

    It might be because of the dinosaur. Just a guess. ;)

    as expected, they're waiting for it to have enough demand to happen. if anyone's interested in it sending them a message via Facebook or mail would probably help

    That looks good. I think grimlock can bring in a new wave of new comers for gp dinobots. So hopefully the number of demand is increasing.

    I messaged them via FB and they are always pretty quick to respond. I also placed my vote in for a reissue of Guttur and Graviter metallic.

    Anyone buy him on Taobao? I have tried using that site and it's kinda screwy for me. I must be doing something wrong.

    Hello chaps i am in need of a bit of help

    I just got chrome sludge trying to get him into dinosaur mode transformed one leg fine got to the other leg and ran into a self inflicted issue

    So i opened up the black tab which opens the leg up went to do the tail and the silver chrome tail base come of, its the part with the black sprung loaded part that attaches to a pin

    Looking at the black part that attaches it seems to have a couple of what looked like cracks at first i though that was my fault, so i looked at the other leg and it lloks like the other one has the same what might possibly be delibrate as part of its design maybe i dunno im not an expert on these things

    the long and short of it is how to i reattach the chrome tailbase to this pin, will it just snap on? is it completly buggered once it comes off

    Can do some pics if need be, cheers chaps id grateful for any advice

    just putting my chrome together and found 2 issues...
    1) the back left leg does NOT want to come out! has anyone run into this? i cant seem to muscle it out. suggestions?
    2) the left "wing" doesnt seem to want to uniformly snap into his neck.

    #1 is by farrrrr my biggest concern. any help greatly appreciated!

    wow this figure is a real pain in the arse, that part where the wings tab into the neck is super tight and took me a while to figure out the tabs looked kinda big for the slots

    but i finally got there in the end

    In the end i had to blow dry the plastic soften it up opening it up with i little screw driver to get me started and force it on, it's opened up a little bit now i should be able to try close it up a bit when i get some tools, i dont know how many transformations its gonna last i reckon it will be ok, the sprung loaded thing is pretty stupid not to mention the super tight tolerances and a pin that likes to slide back and forth, and same as the above guy one of my legs did not want to come out at all
    And i still can't get the back end of the torso to stay tabbed in where it meets the tail

    all in all a bit of a nightmare haha

    Wow, so you actually applied blow dry heat to his neck so you could open up the slot a bit where the wing peg goes? I assume this is the left wing. This is scary to me as I don't want the heat to mess up the bot, but really want it all to be together properly!

    No the blow dryer i used on the silver crome piece at his tail where its attached to a silver pin, i got some pictures of where i mean i'll upload them tomorrow
    I dont think there was any other way there not way it was gonna snap in, the plastic was too hard i dont see how i could have done without warming it up, i definently have to be careful around that part now, would really have helped if it wasnt sprung loaded

    I'm biased but I love Guttur. If you like Graviter you won't have any regret with him. The only batch with some problems was the chrome first release in 2015, but the ones you can find now are all very solid.
