    I think I’d rather it split into two sets. Grimlock and Swoop in one (as Swoop comes with a sword for both), and Slag, Sludge and Snarl together (reusing the tooling for their swords from comic Grimlock). Makes it just that bit easier to afford.

    My Amazon preorder has been bumped from August 20 up to July 26. Looks like they're shipping out earlier all around.

    This set would look phenomenal in their toy-based colors.

    It bumped up slightly on my order from the 21st to the 18th, but other than that, nothing.

    I'd probably buy a redeco of this (preferably with visor-face) as a new fembot Lady Not-Swoop... Hm, names...
    Well, Strafe is a Bayverse dinobot, so being blue this toon version could just be repurposed as her I suppose. But that art of unreleased G2 Swoop somehow looks more fem to me.
    Hm... a crazy expensive single boxset of Dinobots... nah, you know the Collab everyone would expect, an all-Leader class take on this (from the boards' amazing Radicon, @Grimlockimus):

    Holy crap, those are amazing!
    And without my Dinobot Goggles on, I can REALLY see the flaws in those figures. Which is a shame, because I rather enjoy them. Ah well, better just keep them combined I guess.

    Yeah, they do really cool work... and yep, if I had a set like this they'd stay combined most of the time too.

    I'd buy both. And toy versions of the other four. And some kind of G2 versions for Slag, Snarl, and Sludge (but tiger stripe Grimlock fills my G2 void for him).

    But I'm too lazy to customize them myself.
