I got mine yesterday but I wasn't able to mess with him until today. The box arrived in great shape. I'm glad I decided to go ahead and get him. The hips are loose but I'll tighten it up in due course. I love the little guy.

 

Got an e-mail saying my order is "delayed"... I guess I won't be getting one.

 

^That's too bad, hopefully they have another batch on the way and your order gets filled, or you happen upon one in the wild.

 

Checked the tracking, supposed to be here Thursday which is kinda late since I got my order in early that morning

 

That looks pretty darn good 

 

Got him yesterday. He is big and beautiful. Hips are definitely loose, and tightening the screws did not fix this, but it hasn't been a problem putting him in standard poses. I have 3 MPs (Horse Prime, Hasbro Rodimus, and this), and while Prime is still my favorite, I hold this mold in much higher regard than Rodimus. I can't get over how perfect the dinobot mode is.

 

Got mine yesterday as well. Box wasn't damaged but grim needed a bit of work.

 

I ordered mine in the early morning too. Was originally scheduled for delivery tomorrow (I did the free shipping, which uses UPS "SurePost" (which in my prior experience has been awful)), but I checked again today and the UPS activity update said "We'll be in your area and will deliver your UPS SurePost package instead of the post office.". So it's out for delivery today! Yay.  

 

Just received mine today, a day earlier than projected!  

It was completely random that I woke up and went on-line, but I ordered at 3:30am the day this thread posted.

That never happens.

 

Got mine delivered today.

The hips were a little loose, so I tightened it up with a screwdriver.

I uploaded a muted and unfocused video thingy for those interested about the loose hips and the stuff :

My Grimmy video thingy...

YT said the music on my original upload was not kewl with some lawyers and accountants, hence video is muted.

oh, here be a pic:

 

Haha, yup, love it, so easy to fix, but people cry bloody murder.

 

Yup.

Such a snafu. At least some great folks figured out both of the easy fixes to dampened the "panic".

Would have been even more awesome if I'd gotten him for $60 instead of the regular $80. It's all good, tho.

 

Follow-up:

Received both packages yesterday/today (ordered two, one to keep MISB and one to open and display/use). Shockingly, unlike Soundwave last year, BOTH boxes were in excellent condition (so much so it was a chore to decide which one to open).

Grimlock looks awesome though, this is my first time with this mold and while some parts were indeed "loose" I don't imagine it will be a huge problem (certainly not so much to offset the price difference between what I paid and what he was going for on eBay just a few months back). I may try the "Future" solution mentioned earlier in this or another Grimlock thread after I give tightening the screws a shot. Honestly though, as I plan on posing him and leaving him I don't expect it to be a huge issue.

Looking forward to Prowl making the rounds soon so I can pick him up.  

 

I had received a backorder notice when I ordered around 8 AM PST on the day Grimmy was available.

Just received an order confirmation!! So check your in-boxes, fellow backorder sufferers.

 

I got mine into today at work as well. It shipped in the original Hasrbo shipping box, but unfortunately the inner box was damaged just like some of the other pictures in this thread.

Haven't checked the item yet but hopefully its OK. I lucked out when I ordered Soundwave and got a mint box. Not so lucky this time around. I don't understand why they don't get there shipping department together.

 

I got mine yesterday but I already found 1 in store for 59.99. So I returned it to store. I was shocked when she cut it open to check the contents. Now they cant sell it can they?

Also she said everybody is looking for it, sort of insinuating that I should have resold it for profit...LOL

 

Got the news too late. Hope I can still find one in California.

 

I opened mine finally, is he supposed to have those white stripes like the old tru version or am I missing sticker sheets?

 

Compare for yourself:
Grimlock - Transformers - TFW2005
Grimlock (2014) - Transformers - TFW2005

 

So box doesn't match? Lol..yes he's loose compared to my mp08 but not bad for price I paid. Finally I can have one in Dino mode
