    I want that Grimlock, but I already have the Grimlock vs Bruticus version. If it's on sale, I'll get it.

    As a fan of chrome, I love this!

    That Grimlock looks fantastic, glad I didn't get FOC now...

    Hmm, the FoC Grimlock might be tempting to me, if for some reason I don't end up buying the set with him and Bruticus... I'm just worried the paint deco on this one is gonna look super cheap. The Optimus can go to hell though, I'd happily give that away.

    But man, that's four different Grimlocks I'll probably be getting out of this toy line now. Better make some space! ^^;

    Damn you Hasbro... Now I need to buy this. Love that Grimlock. I wonder how "off" the colors are and if this version will go well with the Iron Factory upgrade?

    Also, am I the only one who thinks these "titan" toys look like the sort of knock offs you buy at a dollar store?

    best grimlock besides mp grimlock imo. and yes, he is different than the platinum version (which will run you over $100) optimus isn't bad. not the best but good enough to keep.

    Has anyone found this set in stores yet? I have been faithfully searching the Targets in my area and haven't seen them yet...seen a lot of AOE toys but no exclusive.

    If someone finds this in stores, you can expect there to be a news story on the main page. So no story on the main page = most likely not released yet.

    The Target exclusive Age of Extinction Grimlock and Silver Knight Optimus is available now at target.com

    I couldn't resist the G1 cartoon colors on Grimlock.

    Some interesting tidbits:

    Grimlock is called "Ivan" for some reason in the target website, maybe he'll have a Russian accent in the film :)  Also it states "no battery used which is clearly wrong as old Grimmy has a light up feature.

    Probably means a retail sighting is not far off, someone please make a post in news when you find it in brick and mortar :) 

    Ivan was the working name, the codename as it were. A lot of the leaked listings last year called Grimlock Ivan. The battery thing might be suggesting the electronics are gutted from this release.

    Not bad. That price is pretty reasonable for a Voyager and Deluxe.

    - at least nowadays it is.

    Yeah I love Prime. Nice colors on Grimlock too but the toy itself is only ok imo.
