In Hand Images of Generations Platinum Dinobots Grimlock and Slog

They are priced at 109 on Robot Kingdom, not bad for 2 voyagers and 3 deluxes: http://www.robotkingdom.com/a91850000g1.html. And with the SDCC vesions already being available, I dont see that much demand for these, so a slightly lower price will be inevitable.

Also, while I spy some small differences on Grimlock (besides the head of course), the deco on both slogs appear to be the same.

The irony is, you can get a loose but complete and perfect mint looking G1 6shot for less than 100$ shipped. That's the price I paid and that's the price I sold it when I realised I didnt liked him.

You didnt like him? I was close to buying that edition above for 100$ at comiccon this year but stopped when I realized he was selling for less on e-bay. I was still curious though, care to tell me (either here or in a pm), what you didnt like of sixshot?

Appart for G1 Galvatron (because I care too much for the character), I love my G1 toys to have realistic vehicle altmodes. Insecticons and dinobots excluded, of course. Sixshot is just... too many random things thrown together. It's a very solid toy and it's fun to fiddle with. I would highly recomend him. However, it didnt pleased me as much as I tought it would and I knew I would be able to easely sell him back. Also, there was some other TFs that need funding.

Will, if you don't care about yellowing or missing guns, you should buy 6shot. You'll have fun with it for sure.

What does he need a gun for? He BECOMES the GUN

These things are so hideous..... Pure laziness on Hasbros part. Thank god for the third party market.

I feel the opposite. FOC Grimlock was one of my biggest purchase regrets. I like the character (Marvel comics version rather than cartoon) so wanted a decent sized/priced G1 Grimlock but I thought that figure was mostly awful, especially the dino mode. I love my AoE Voyager Grimlock figure in both modes though and the one shown here is a beautiful blend of the two. First time in years that I've wanted a complete set of a particular Trasnformers group. Combiner Wars sure as hell didn't do that for me even with the obvious gimmick that requires a team.

While I would've preferred new molds, these aren't bad as a stop gap to having all five Dinobots for a classics shelf. Shame I didn't know about these sooner I would've got these guys instead of third party Dinobots.

This is what kills me. With the successful multiple runs of 3rd party Dinobots, you would think HasTak would realize that we want new, updated figures. Instead, we get knockoff movie figure repaints. It's disgusting.

What makes it even worse, with every set of this crap bought, the chan we of new dinobots get slimmer and slimmer.

What bothers me more is that they endlessly repaint the Dinobots but they so often miss one or two of them out of the scheme especially Slash & Scorn.

Now from a G1er perspective you would prefer the original line up (or close to it) but from the Movie Universe (or at least the toy version of the Movie Universe) perspective then missing Scorn out seems odd and missing Slash out seems just regrettable.

That is twice now they have made G1 colour Movie Dinobots and twice they have not made those two. Not to mention Takara missed out on the black ones all being made and Hasbro didn't do the smokey platinum ones for all the moulds.

I would like to see Hasbro go back to making some 2 packs (say when Movie 5 comes out) and they at that time make either G1 deco Scorn and Slash or Platinum smoke deco in a 2 pack... then the one they don't do they offer at SDCC or New York Comicon as a follow up to the previous set of 5.

There is so many things needed that are missing and "Most Wanted" style two packs seems like the best way to do it to me.

I'm sick of all those over sized and overpriced "Platinum" & Year of releases - I would so much prefer smaller toys with a premium deco like we used to get from time to time in previous Movie lines - and that I guess Blaster and Perceptor are an example of.

I'm not utterly against premium toys in a larger size - it's just personally I'd rather have an Omega Supreme repaint than a Giant Cybertron Starscream or a Monkey (and I actually do like the Monkey).

I suppose the mold has long since disappeared but I would have actually liked to see a Mega Beast Machines Optimus Primal in show accurate colours before a giant red & blue version not to mention a Blue Savage/Noble.

But I suppose some love for Beast Machines is better than none.
I wonder when they will get around to doing another repaint of RID-2001 Optimus Prime - as a Year of Toy ? and in what colour - a cool colour of that Mould Like say Nightwatch teal or dark or light blue or even white would be really neat.

I think they should consider making some smaller additional "Year of toys" too like a 'Year of the Rat' Rattrap when the time comes.

It's not that I object to 'Year of' and Platinum release toys - I just think some of the choices are a little lazy.

Hasbro seems insistent on giving things you are less likely to want in a half hearted manner while a whole lot of other things that were actually in a TV show remain unmade (Like Black non-spikey Deluxe Prime Bumblebee & Deluxe Beast Hunters Blue Smokescreen). Not to mention they never did make a "Pre-Earth" Skywarp & Thundercracker out of the Cybertron Voyager mould either let alone Ramjet, Acid Storm and Sunstorm.

I can't be the only one who keeps their older toys and still wishes for completed sets can I ?

These are looking better. I think these will be quite good classics Dinobots. Definitely picking these up

So much chrome and shininess
