MP-35 Grapple

[drifand]

Thought the shipping would be much higher. Kind of wish I had have waited for it but already ordered from PC.

I had credits with ny due to canceled order so it ends up being $60-65 shipped to me.

PC is fine but payment upfront. Now just to see great rates and I pay it.

Listing up at Amazon Japan with even bigger pics.

Exactly how I'm feeling





Whaaat!??

Check out the pic of Grapple reading the blueprints - see all that extra stuff in the back of his legs that's not present in Inferno (thanks for the comparison pics MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!) - that's all part of his crane boom! Though I still can't tell if it extends or not...

Oh and all four faces, both heads, his hand gun and barrel are not the same as any of Inferno's (with the possible exception of his neutral expression face, but it's hard to tell from the pics), the barrel looks more like the G1 missile (with fins, albeit very slight fins) on which both it and Inferno's water nozzle (without fins) are based.

Yep, I'd say they're not far off in claiming that only about 50% of the parts from Inferno got reused.

I was honestly never attached to the character in the G1 cartoon, but this figure looks too good to pass up on. I'll probably display him with his orange head.

Also curious how the crane piston hides away in bot mode

I watched The Master Builders on the weekend, and its sparked my interest again in the toy. Also noticed that he featured a few times in the end credits of Season 2, and saw how he was one of the few glimpsed in the movie.

So now tempted in getting Grapple...and re-watching the original cartoon again for some reason

Also interesting that the limit is now two if you're using energon points, which is quite fair!

I'm not sure if you have noticed the price of Grapple in PC. I got him at $139 during the first night of preorder and now the price was reduced to $104.

Can we ask PC to give us the price adjustment?

half hour later and I see him as 140

I'd assume some glitch -- in which case I don't think they'd honour the $104.

That would be extremely cheap.

According to my understanding of Australian Consumer Law...

If - and only if - you had placed an order for this toy during the time that it was listed for $104, then Premium Collectables has 2 options:
1/ Honour the advertised price and proceed to sell the toy to you for $104.
2/ Refund $104 to you and relist the toy for $140 (which they've already done), thus you can repurchase it at the intended price.

What they cannot do is proceed to charge you $140 when the toy was advertised as $104 at the moment that you ordered it (i.e. placed it in your cart and went through the checkout), as this classifies as false advertising. However, if it is an error on their part, they are fully entitled to withdraw/cancel the sale.
