It is such a good feeling opening up the box and seeing this marvelous bot packaged so pretty in Styrofoam, ready to join the collection.

Congrats.

 

I love that heroic pose in front of the emergency numbers. It’s like a public service announcement.

“And knowing is errrrrr…something about battle.”

 

To keep me from going insane waiting for mine to find it's way out of Pitney Bowes hell. Could you kind folks who've received yours from this batch answer a few questions for me?

1) Hows the tolerance on the dino-tail pieces that collapse into the inside of the bot feet? Do they tab in, or just friction into place?

2) Do the weapons still come with batteries installed?

 

Fairly sure I've asked before, but has there been any news about rereleasing the other three dinobots? Was hoping to grab a full set for bot mode, with Gigapowers set displayed in (awesome) Dino mode. Exorbitant I know, but I loves me some dinobots.

 

There should be a definition posted next to the word "emergency". Apparently, there's much confusion as to what that actually is.

 

The tail pieces are in there by friction, but they don't seem to be going anywhere.

Weapons don't light up so I am assuming there's no batteries in there. Do you have to remove all the screws to install batteries?

 

Indeed all screws must be removed to install the batteries.

 

Thanks!

 

Got Stomped by showz.  

 

My stomp finally came in as well. Swoop has always been my favourite design wise but this guy is just built different. I do wish the dino had ankle rockers but that's probably asking for too much.

Kapow have some stomp in stock!

Fanstoys FT07 Stomp Iron Dibots Reissue - New Arrivals - Kapow Toys

 

Just got my Stomp in from ShowZ, also I had this figure before but sold it. Did it always have stress marks on the back legs ? Both sides look the same>

 

The reissue of Stomp has arrived. The knee joints are not strong enough for the weight of the torso ... Even so, the figure is wonderful.

 

Wait... so, your stomp can't stand? Is that a common issue?

 

I just picked this big guy for my collection. Whats exactly happening here? Its an actual reissue of the dibots?

 

Looks like the reissue gold chrome is more yellow then the earlier releases. Or you have a golden camera.  

 

went ahead and ordered the reissue now i just need cesium or scoria and i have a complete team but for now my gigapower grassor will work as the stand in

 

So after a very brief period of time the big guy arrived. I wasn't execting it to be so absurdly massive. Its really, really, really big. And I cannot wait to keep messing around with it.
So now Im hoping that I dont miss the grimlock reissue too (if it ever happens).

 

I really enjoy the slight differential in height - Grimlock is a hair taller than Sludge, who is a hair taller than Snarl... who are all much taller than Swoop. I don't have Slag yet and hopefully he's around the corner.

FT did this with their Stunticons too - each of the limb bots are similarly sized, but not exact, and I really like the thought that they've put into them.

 

I was just looking at my old Stomp and thinking the same. My Scoria and Stomp are pretty pale gold but this looks more like the darker gold chrome I have on Sever and Grinder.
