Platinum Edition Dinobot 5-pack images

Someone has obtained the Platinum Edition Dinobot 5-pack, and shared photos of the toys in both modes.

Looks like they are a smoky translucent plastic with chrome coated parts, to give them a ghostly look.

Apparently the Optimus toy in the Leader 2-pack is also of translucent coloured plastic, so these will match the look of that one a bit.

The five Dinobots are Voyager Grimlock, Voyager Slog (Sludge), Deluxe Strafe, Deluxe Slug, Deluxe Scorn... which is the four Movie Dinobots plus Slog for some reason.

I thought the 2-pack Optimus was just a darker shade of blue? I know the initial promo picks showed translucent plastic, but every time we have seen the toy it's been merely dark blue. Does someone have it in hand to confirm?

Slash would have made more sense for the 5-pack, given that he was in some of the movie promo materials. But I guess Hasbro wanted to raise the price point by including a Voyager.

The set looks very cool and I will be getting it if I can, probably from BBTS. It may come to replace my existing retail movie Dinobots, especially if Snarl proves difficult to come by.

I have the leader platnium pack and i can confirm optimus is not translucent well my one is not any way

Sorry... I was going by the official images, which I think would have made it more interesting, to distinguish it from all the very similar Leader & First Edition Optimus toys between Hasbro and TakaraTomy.

$50 USD for a repainted version of this set?

http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-A...rmers+platinum

Given I don't have either of the voyagers, I'll take 10.

Love the look of the Dinobot pack, it'll be a great personal present. December can't come fast enough.

Any ideas when this set will be available for pre-order at BBTS? I wasn't going to go for the Dinobot but this set has changed my mind!

some inhand images from ACtoys:

Sheesh. They look totally amazing. No idea what I'll do with my current dinobots, let alone Slash and Snarl (if Snarl ever turns up at retail). Scorn in particular looks awesome, but he was always the strongest mold out of the set.

How much do you guys think it'll cost, when will it drop and will we see it on Amazon.com?

$249+ if the Autobots United 5 pack is anything to go by

Thought that would be a fair assumption. Was just curious as they were speculating that 5 pack was coming up as $50 in Target's computers on tfw2005.

That'd be the Myer price though. You'll probably be able to get it cheaper online - especially as it's a BBTS exclusive if memory serves, rather than a TRU one as the Autobots 5-pack was.

i havent checked in a while, but Robotkingdom also had them advertised a while back for $159.90US ($182) + shipping.

They look absolutely stunning. I'm considering getting two, one to play with and one to keep in the box. They'll be expensive but then again, they do come out around Christmas.

They look really nice, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to pass. Too much Generations stuff coming out next year, plus MP-11SW is definitely on the maybe list. Still need to pick up the Generations Specialist sets as well. Sigh. :o

(Might be getting a job next holidays though, to get some green:)).

Saw this on special for $150 at myer. Roughly $40 over the top. What is the best deal for this set? Really want the stegasaur in these colours aswell:mad:

I picked up the Dinobots Unleashed pack. Other than Grimlock, I never touched any of the others so only thing I know about them is because of pics and reviews.

Aesthetically, they are absolutely superb and I really don't think they lose out to Takara's Black Knight releases. Some of the pieces are rubber and don't hold together as well but that's only a minor grievance for me, I simply love everything about this so much.

Was torn between this, Trailer FE Prime and the Grimlock/OP Platinum leader pack. Did I make the right choice?

Absolutely.

Do you guys think that the price will drop again for the Dinobots as it did for the other lines of transformers that Myer have? I know that the 5 pack and the Optimus First Ed with trailer had 2 price drops.

It's on sale at the moment.... 149 (just checked online)

Yeah, I expect it to have a price drop. I doubt Myer will come close to selling the Dinobots Unleashed pack out.

Is this pack worth purchasing? I haven't purchased any of the dinobots thinking if I do i'll get this boxed set. I just cant bring myself to purchasing the individual ones not a fan of the detailing & colors of the standard ones.

Yes!
This is the set that i had been waiting for. The mixed M&M flavoured retail versions did absolutely nothing for me.

Finally got my box set today... I agree win sinnertwin... set is so totally worth it...

Yes... this is the exact reason I haven't purchased any of the individual figures. Despicable coloring for what look like very cool figures.
