Epic!!
Nice :)
that is a nice looking sludge
I may need to order this one
Totally Awesome news for the day. Can't wait till pre-orders are up :)
Oh crap.....
Giga or fans giga or fans just keeps going around in my head
It's glorious!!! :D Can't wait for it to come out.
ditto, haven't got any yet so once I choose a side im binded, leaning towards giga because of the size factor but its 1giga vs 4ft so far, hope giga gets their next dino out soonQuote:

Really hoping an Aussie seller gets the pre-orders for these, I'd much rather not pay a ridiculous shipping price on top of the ridiculous exchange rate to US$ again.
The tail folds into the legs. On Scoria the tail was hidden in the backpack (giving room for the dino-legs) but Stomp has a significant amount of dino-neck to hide so stashing the tail there wasn't an option.Quote:

Actually I'm betting they couldn't engineer the legs on the inside. Hey had significant problems designing this one so I bet the only way to make it work was to have the dino legs on the outside.Quote:

I hope they include the rocket launcher as an accessory.

Yet another (yes) masterpiece I can't afford at the moment. One day, one day.
Finally my favourite dinobot and he looks awesome!!
Probably going to stick with FT. Too many QC issues from Guttur so far even though I like the look much better.
He's up on there now, very happy.Quote:

Postage is an extra $16.Quote:

Yeah, and I bet it'd be notably higher from RobotKingdom too! ;)Quote:

Order placed with TFI. So looking forward to this guy. My favourite dinobot after Grimlock.
Placed my 1st ever Preorder with TFI Downunder today, and it was for none other than FansToys: Stomp (Sludge). :D
As Sharky said when he preordered his today also, this should make for an interesting 1st purchase with TFI and an AWESOME self-Xmas present! :D:cool:
I hope that this one is released close to its estimated release date for you guys!
I'd be lining up other presents though - if you want something to open on Christmas day, as FT's track record with release dates doesn't look too good.
In other news, this little extra will be included for first wave orders:

Wow. Just wow. I need to get my not-Snarl to catch up yet
That's impressive! The resemblance to the G1 toy is amazing.
Talk about compromise position. :DQuote:
