    New Zealand Mint has a date for their new release in their Transformers 1oz Silver Coin line.

    As advertised in their 'coming soon' section, Grimlock will be made available in their website on December 20th. No active links as of yet, but a quick online search does return some pics showing Grimlock in one of his classical G1 poses.

    The Dinobot leader therefore joins the NZ Autobot line, outnumbering the Decepticons 3-to-1.

    Update: Official images and listings.

    I was interested in this until I saw Queen Elizabeth on the other side. .^.

    It's still very cool looking, tho.

    Would you rather have King Charles III?

    That aside, is this like illetrally printing free money for NZ?

    Yeah, that ruins the whole thing. It's not like I would ever want one to use as legal tender. I suppose since it comes from a mint it has to be that way.

    Some millionaire needs to buy several thousands of these and then put them into actual circulation as 2-dollar coins.

    I have no problem with the queen on the coin. What is throwing me is the coin says 1984 when Grimlock didn't appear until the following year. Grimlock wasn't even around yet.

    I would prefer no monarchs or other political figures.

    A Kiwi bird would've been cool, tho.

    Or Peter Jackson! :thumb

    I doubt I’ll splurge and get this, but I did order Prime and Megatron and they didn’t charge tax or shipping and it was delivered from NZ to Missouri in under 72-hrs. The display package is great and the coin itself is rather nice. It would be great to get the set, but… it doesn’t transform, you know??

    Yeah, you'd have to take that up with the laws of New Zealand (or perhaps Great Britain).

    Much like collector plates, these things will only go up in value.
