oh now thats a hard question
Unlike the hasbro release of MP starscream, i cant see much they could change for grimlock apart from the packaging, which id rather the takara version...
still.. with the sliding American dollar, it may be cheaper to get it here than from an import.
hopefully theyll do what they did with MP Prime, and just import the takara version and then ill be a happy camper :D
i voted Hasbro
Im skint
so a cheaper alternative is the way to go, otherwise there is no way to go, hence, no toy
I'll see hasbro, they did a good job on 20th Prime and SS. Plus that dollar...
I still cant decide, have to see one first, sizewise is the major drawback for me, it should be as big at least as prime, its meant to go with the Alts and MPs so it shouldve been bigger, still have to see it, if I like it, size wont matter much. TF size issues have always been a peeve.:o
a definitely Yes for me provided i still have enough money when it's out...
else it'll be Hasbro version Grimlock first and another fine day for Takara MP
I'm going to wait and see if Grimlock continues TakTom's latest craze of ignoring QC in all forms first. I'm not spending nearly over $250 on something that will break in my hands.
Maybe, but only because of QC concerns. It looks great in the promo pictures.
:oI already prepaid through the Tetster so you could say I have already bought it.:D How could you pass up on the Grimster;).
I would love one but having a family I am usually on a tight budget so anything to make my purchase cheaper is what I look for so hopefully I can get a Hasbro version.
Okay Hasbro... the ball's in your court!
Yeah I'll definately be looking to pick one of these up. Never had a G1 Grimlock... I just can't pre-order a toy 6 months in advance, when it comes out I'll look around for it.
Definate yes.
I will pay impatience tax and get it asap. That said my TF budget is about $500 per year so I'm done with TF's till at least June! :D
I doubt we'll see a Hasbro version this year because they've already stated that ROTF is their main focus. :(
I'm not a fan of Grimlocks accesories and it would have saved us a few dollars if they didn't include silly things like serving trays and bow ties. A missile launcher would have been waaaay cooler than an apron. :)
A definate yes as i'am getting it through TC anyway, been looking forward to this MP ever since he was first mentioned all those moons ago and i think it might be awhile before we see a hasbro version, as they might wait to see how taktom version sells.
With the current exchange I don't think I can go through with it. I'll wait for a local release or a trip to japan because if I see it on a shelf I dont think I will be able to resist :p
I am not a fan of the alt mode design but I will still get it due to the character but I am choosing a 'maybe yes' because of all the QC issues that have been plaguing Tak-Tom in the past months.
Its an Undecided for me.
I'd love to get him, but with the QC issues from Takara and my lack of money I'll have to wait and see if there is a cheaper alternative
I'm going to get it, but only cause my collection theme says i have to, I have to get 2:(
I always have wanted to own an MP Grimlock when the news break out.
But this baby is pricing a couple bucks more expensive than I expect.
I reckon this is one of the best time to practice my self-taught super ability...........patience.
:)
Hasbro have said that there will be a MP figure released around September, and we know that Grimlock was their idea, not Takara's.Quote:

Definitely! :)
If the american version of this is good then I might just grab it instead. Knowing it will be in regular stores makes all the difference. I was really happy with my walmart (TRU) starscream...
In one form or another I will buy it. The extra card and instruction booklet are a heavy premium to pay
any chance that there will be a blue repaint of this? maybe an ehobby release?
I do want to get an MP Grimlock... do we know if Hasbro Australia will definitely release the toy here?
Hmm... atm I'm considering getting one from Japan. I've already cancelled some Henkei pre-orders in anticipation. But if Hasbro AU will release them locally then I might consider waiting for a cheaper local version.
Why would they do a blue one? I think the masterpiece line is to make G1 toys look better, not G2 stuff. would be a cool thing to see though. I don't even know what i'm saying anymore, i feel sick:(Quote:

None of the MP toys have been e-hobby-ed yet, so it would be unlikely they would start with Grimlock. Then again, it might be the only way to do a low demand recolour without the risk of excess stock from a normal production run.
I'm a little surprise we haven't had a Nemesis Prime or something along those lines either. I heard a lot of talk that TT wanted masterpiece molds that could be re-painted and re-used.Quote:

Somwhere between Maybe and Definately, QC issues are my only worry because I REALLY want this Grimlock, and while it may be just as cool and cheaper with Hasbro we don't know for certain. So unless we get some more concrete Information about the Hasbro version or bad feedback about the Takara one I'll most likely get one.

Surely the only thing better would be MP Fangry. :D
I would just settle for Classics Fangry. That would be awesome! He should come with a can of oil that Grimlock can throw can throw at him.Quote:

Only downside would be that so far it looks like it transformers much like the original G1 grimlock I was hopeing it would be different like MP1 compared to the original prime.
But since ill be displaying him i robot mode don't care all that much so ill get him :D
Most likely not. I have little-to-no interest in it...especially because I can't do imports right not anyway. Also, apron wtf. He should come with a crown, not with a relic of his season 3 decay. After all, he Grimlock king.
Definitely getting the MP Grimmy. :D
I've decided against importing it. If it comes out locally I will consider.
He... does come with a crown. Doesn't he?Quote:
