Good to see you finally got yourself a big Grimm, despite some fans various criticism I really love that MP.

As for Cindersaur, my eyes!!!!! it burns!!!!!

[GoktimusPrime]

I think one main criticism is the relative simplicity of the toy for what is an expensive Masterpiece. When I got this toy I started wondering what it'd be like to read instructions for an MP toy in English -- but then I remembered... Hasbro doesn't believe in using words. (-_-) So just as well it's fairly simple, cos I reckon it'd be a beeotch to transform a Masterpiece without textual instructions... I admire anyone who can transform Masterpieces without being able to read the instructions, cos I do read the instructions and I still find them hard!

Btw, does anyone want the box? If not I'm gonna bin it. Speaking of which... I've been noticing this with the Human Alliance figures, and now MP Grimlock -- but they're so-called "boxes" are really more like rectangular(ish) CARDS. Maybe like a big box-card hybrid... but when opening the toy it nothing like opening a box cos you effectively have to take the packaging apart! I've done it quite carefully and I haven't damaged anything (other than cutting a lot of sticky tape).

How much was Spike?

Nevermind on the box for Grimlock. For a moment I thought the toy was displayed in robot mode.

Thus far I have Ultra Jetstorm (from Beast Machines) courtesy of llamatron. Oh and AA Payload.

Coming soon are Encore Starscream, Premium Ratchet, TFA Rodimus (Hasbro and TT), WST Thrust.

Its funny that the acronym for the new TF line Autobots Alliance is "AA". Soon there will be plenty of drunk sightings in the sightings thread and plenty of drunk Tfs in the Acquisitions thread! Let's drink to that!!
