Looks like the reissue is finally coming with The Chosen Prime announcing it on the front page here. Kinda glad, I missed him the first time by figuring family might pick him up. They always complain that there nothing on my wishlist. This time I'm ordering him myself and not trusting to chance.

 

That's pretty much the safest bet when it comes to Fanstoys releases.

 

Blue G2 Grimlock is best G2 Grimlock.

 

I'm still surprised that nobody ever put out a video review for him.

 

Hmm...one of the biceps swivels is just a little loose. Would tightening the screws in the arm and shoulder fix that, or is there a better solution?

 

I double dipped for this one. ... since it comes with the fixed parts for G2 Sever, him too, but he is still in my source stack along with the G1 G2 colored head.

 

So, I recently moved into my first house, and my 2 overflowing detolfs were cast aside in favor of a Billy bookcase w/doors...little did I know (read: take the time to think) that my FT Dinobots would have to be angled or have the tails partially transformed to fit on the shelf...gained a lot of space, but lost all of the depth. Luckily, it won't be an issue for any other figures...just them and Terminus Giganticus (who will likely exit the Billy due to his size...I figure he can hang out in the open air somewhere else in the Man Cave. And the Dinobots....well, they'll mostly be in robot mode anyways).

Now I'm just waiting on some decals to finish Cesium's dino head, and Grinder's dino stomach (had a dry transfer applied that I cut down the middle after application...messed up a tiiiiny bit, and it irked me, so I removed it and ordered some split decals. I did the same for Sever, who turned out much almost perfect, but I might remove his in favor of a pre-split as well due to a teeeeeensy bit of overhang on the decal that you can see when the head is split open; worried it will lead to damage of the decal over time). I'm pretty confident that I prefer Cesium to Scoria, but I haven't unpacked Scoria to compare them in person set.

 

Have you any space outside the cabinet for a dedicated shelf?

 

Time will tell, mostly. I'm only displaying MP figures, and so far I aim to use the Billy for: 1 Autobot S1/2 shelf; 1 Decepticon S1/2 shelf; 1 Dinobot shelf; 1 Animated Movie/S3 Autobot/Decepticon shelf; 1 Japanese G1 shelf (eventually...don't have much to go here yet); 1 Beast Wars/Other shelf (ex: I have the 3rd party RiD Scourge in my BBTS PoL...he'll go here). Spacing is going to make Jetfire trick to fit in...he may have to kneel.

I intend to keep my 2 Detolfs, and maybe use them for some TFs...but there's not a lot of room for more shelves. I have a large desk, 4 large Billy bookcases and 1 half-width Billy for movies, and then 2 large Billy w/doors - 1 has MP TFs, the other is for PS4 games, Amiibo, and PAK Metal Gear figures (and maybe 1 extra shelf for other video game-related collectibles).

 

I'm sure this has been asked but I couldn't find an answer; does the blue Grinder come with the extra heads for the other dinobots? Sorry and thanks in advance.

 

I had my dibots in Dino mode for ages but just recently transformed them to robot mode. they took up two shelves, plus Soar on a third shelf. Now all five are together on one. Still kind of prefer dino mode though.

 

I bought the same units ! did you go for the Morliden glass doors ? And yes.... wish I could remove the dino tails, just the ends atleast !

 

Sure did! Still waiting (over 2 months now) for a $300 refund on shipping due their online shipping fees dropping shortly after my order (it's "processing")...

I wound having swoop in the center on his stand, Slag and Sludge to the left at an angle (with the end of Sludge's tail folded up), and then Grimlock and Snarl on the right, also at an angle (and with Grimlock's trail folded as well). The doors just baaaarely clear Caseium's horns. Got them on the middle, fixed shelf; gonna do a Decepticon shelf above them, and an Autobot above that (glass shelves)...hoping for just enough space height-wise on each. Then below will be a Movie/Season 3 shelf, and below that a miscellaneous shelf for Beast Wars and other series. I'll upload a photo of the dinos when I get home from work.

 

Yes.

 

Just put my G2 Grinder up in my sales thread if anyone is looking for him....

 

Are you not happy with it?

 

Other than the fact he's not teal/turquoise he's great, but I've gone way overboard on buying things that aren't in my original plans, and I need to get back on course.

That and I'm out of room and need more space, which is why my sales thread grew today.  

 

I hear you. I had to get a storage unit last month.

 

Holy crap.... 

 

A little late, but here's the Billy shelf, with some added photos of the tails for Sludge and Grimlock...can't really tell unless you're up close.
