    Thanks man. I was caught up at work and missed it but signed up for the wait list. Not a huge deal, but Boss is one of my favorite G1 toys.

    Thanks!

    FP isn't doing much these days, but that was great timing on their part.

    I do wonder if maybe FP knew that Hasbro was planning to make their own, but I don’t think that’s terribly likely, either.

    Even if they did know it was happening I don't think they could know for sure it would be announced after TFCon in time for them to make a production run.

    Does this get a new head sculpt? It looks different than the original FP Grimlock to me. But that could be because the much lighter color allows the details to show more clearly.

    Man, this is hilarious. On one hand, people can choose which version they want. On the other hand, somebody at FP must be thinking “Of all the- How? HOW?” as we speak.

    I asked ToyDojo when online orders would ship. Their response:

    The TFCon items were preorders for stock coming from China. All the stock that was at the show sold out so fans project is arranging shipment to us now. We expect these at the end of the month to early April. There are delays in shipping but the items are guaranteed and if you got your order in before it sold out then you will get a copy.

    Crap, I somehow completely missed the announcement for this. How quickly did it sell out online?

    Oh well, money saved, I suppose. Pretty awesome that someone finally made a Grimlock in this color scheme, and there’s the Hasbro Walmart exclusive coming too. Hopefully that one will be just as bright as Fansproject’s version.

    There's an official Tiger Stripe redeco of the SS86 Grimlock in the works.

    It hasn't gone on sale, yet, but it's probably gunna be a Walmart Exclusive, seeing as it was announced alongside the Toxitron collection.

    Email update from ToyDojo:


    hi all,

    Thank you for everyone's patience on this one. FP shipped these out very slowly and then it got delayed through customs. We have tracking now and expect the Tiger Rex sjhipment to arrive end of this week to early next week. Once it arrives we will unbox and start packing up the orders to ship out. Thank you all again for your support.

    Thank you,
    -Toy Dojo Team
