They really should issue out MP dinobots hehehecomplete the set why dontcha...
    I think he is pretty gigantic next to Classics. The problem is that his scale is either too big or too small.

    Masterpiece Grimlock is perfect. If there's any problem with scale, it's that all other toys are the wrong size.

    I thought we were talking about MP Grimlock, not Drift

    Ooh, looks nice. Here's hoping it'll come out here. =) It probably will be pretty dear though... TakaraTOMY's version sold for 13650JPY ($167) -- so I wouldn' be surprised if the RRP here is around the $180 mark. For $230 I can buy the TakaraTOMY version from a local import store... but it wouldn't have the crown. I guess I'd pay $190... but if it exceeded $200 then I'd wait for a sale.

    Btw, I remember MP Ultra Magnus selling here for $80... or was that a sale price?

    Damn, I musta got ripped. I got it as soon as it came out at Target, and it's possible $80 was the sale price. Oh wells.

    MP Magnus was the 3rd toy that I got as a collector. I remember it because I bought it along with 10th Anniversary BW Megatron and Optimus Primal but when I got home I realized that someone had swapped Magnus for some other random toy!

    I was really annoyed because I had bought that Magnus from a Target far away from where I lived and it was the last one and I didn't want to bother driving all the way back but then I was told that I could return it at any Target store. Thankfully Target Miranda had one Magnus left and I managed to exchange for it.

    Naturally I checked the contents before going to the check out. Phew!

    $80 was a special promotional/sale price at Target not standard RRP, and that was for straight Takara Magnus's that Hasbro must have got a hold of.

    If were getting the full Hasbrodisation here + factoring Toys R Us, then I doubt we'll see that happen again any time soon.

    Actualy I think Grimlock is better scaled with the MP seekers and Binaltech than some of the other MP's. Its Prime, Magnus and Megs who are to big. I know Prime was a big fellow but I don't recall the other Autobots only only being as tall as his groin.

    The American fans had a short tease today, as the US TRU website had MP Grimlock listed as 'in stock', before it was quickly changed to 'temporarily not available'.

    It does reveal the US price - US$60 - to give us an idea of what it might be priced at here. That would make it about AU$80 here, but expect AU$100 when TRU gets it later this year.
