MP Grimlock and Alternity Megatron???

[STL]

I am hyped for Masterpiece Grimlock!

They are saying that it will be the largest of the Masterpiece figures and much bulkier. That is why there is a price increase.

I can't wait and hoping that they go for an IDW style interpretation that 'modernizes' the T-Rex mode but keeps the robot mode similar to G1.

I don't care if he's not bigger personally. I jsut want to see a sturdy, articulated toy.

I wouldn't mind a WW adaptation if they don't want to do the T-rex.

BBTS.com has a preorder up for Masterpiece Grimlock.

Price is US$149.99

Ep...ic... I can't believe Takara are really going to do it, there was always room in my mind to expect an MP Grimmers would be as likely as a G1 reissue ( sad face) but it's actually for real. As for die-cast... I'm not too fussed. If the previous releases in the line have taught as anything it's that using less of it seems to be the standard now. I guess it's because so many people complained that MP Prime had balance issues since he was top heavy, and that's something I don't want for Grimlock. Maybe a little in the legs would be good, but not 99% plastic like Screamer, that was a bit too cut back.

EDIT: RK have also added MP Grimmers as a pre-order at $119.90 US. Happy face!

So this will send me to the poor house, but I just don't care. A big mechanical T-Rex like they had in a advert once would be fantastic.

I regret to inform myself that this is a must buy. Someone needs to give the AUD some CPR stat!
