Great to those who have yet to secure an MP-8X King Grimlock. :)
Timing isn't something I'm good at. I purchased the Asian Exclusive MP Grimlock only to find out some months later that the 30th Anniversary logo MP Grimlock reissue was to be released (& bought that one as well :p).
I feel sorry for the guy who just very recently spent US$770 for the first run.
Looks like I'll be taking mine off the Sales thread. :o
It is what it is at the time though. I seen people still willing to pay $200 for mp-13 soundwave where stores still have stock.Quote:

I would recommend people to snap it if they have long waited for this.
wow finally I can complete my masterpiece collection!! :D:D
he not excusive to bbts cause TFsource got preorder on him as well...
Pre-ordered at BBTS. Hoping for Chimungmung to stock him.
I am glad more people get to own this figure. It is beautiful and so is the box (imo G2 Sideswipe should have been packaged or even coloured similarly).
Many people hated this deco when it originally came out and i am not going to lie, i got some small joy as this ugly duckling became a revered figure. I think now is the time for more people to feel that joy. He is beautiful, do not miss this.
The first run had the unfortunate spelling on the box Alleg iance . Something you expect from a KO. Hopefully this will be fixed for the second run.
If you are still desperately wanting to get rid of it at a good price, pop it on ebay ASAP for $400-500 BIN and you might get someone who doesn't know about the re-release, or wants the original (as the reissues can often still be different).Quote:

Do we know if this will be a Hasbro HK reissue or Takara reissue?
And for anyone scoffing at the $260 price tag keep in mind this version of Grimlock had a limited first run and cost about the same first time round. He also was over $1000 MISB on ebay till this reissue was announced. I know some very happy people that he is being reissued. I'll get him myself as I always intended to get MP-08X to have in robot mode next to my MP-08 in dino mode.
Still 24 left when I checked it now. Interesting.Quote:

I do not know whether this is fact or exaggeration or what. Just something I read. Anyone have the Hasbro Asia version and can confirm/rebuke?
^ Both my Asia Cybertron Con Exclusive & 30th anniversary logo MP Grimlock don't have shoulder issues with the ball joint. Grimmy can hold his sword & gun, arms raised or other fancy arm poses.
Instead, the hip joints are not as tight as I would like.
Ultra Marginal pointed it out a short while ago - BbTS now show remaining their remaining stock as 24 across the board, even though they may have a quantity greater than that.Quote:

Not as much as what the current price on Ebay if you are indeed looking to collect every single piece.Quote:

Agreed. I have no problem with HasTak "daring" to add new bonus features to subsequent versions of a toy. Why not? I think it's a pretty cool idea. :)
I personally only have the original Hasbro version, and I have intention of getting any other version. If someone who already has a previous version really wanted the throne that badly, they could sell off their other one and get this one.
This is what Grimlock's throne looked like in G1:Quote:

Given the size, I'd be impressed if the throne was actually sculpted from plastic rather than a fold-up cardboard prop (akin to MP01 and the original MP Ultra Magnus' trailers).
Back then nobody knew there would be umpteen reissues and versions. You either got it now or you pay the scalpers.Quote:

I'm more than happy with my original Takara release of the normal Grimlock. QC issue free, apron and serving tray, brains transfer unit and all :D
I am however sweating on a Takara colour MP-09 reissue...
Hey guys, I heard there's going to be another reissue after this one with another new accessory.
The next one is the cartoon accurate version and comes with a new...
How would they make him a new brain? He's already has the transfer device on the regular version.Quote:
