Transformers Robots in Disguise Stomp n’ Chomp Grimlock Revealed Updated with Price

Huh. Didn't expect an on-screen Movieverse character to get recycled in a non-Movie line.

RiD Stomp N Chomp repaint revealed? I actually saw this 2 weeks ago at the local TRU. Was it put on the shelf by mistake? Some kid was looking at it and oooh-ing and aaaah-ing, begging his mom to pick it up. The mom said 'You already have this one!' and the kid said, 'But this is Robots in Disguise!' The mom tried several times to point out that the kid didn't need this one because he had the movie version, and every time the kid said, 'But this one is Robots in Disguise!' As if that somehow 'won' the argument.

People who think emotions trump facts are funny to watch....

It was probably a mistake because no one has posted it yet, anywhere online. If you see it again, send us a picture (the link is in my sig) and you will get a news credit

I'll try to make a run out today and see if it's still there. It might have sold (but this is TRU of shelfwarming fame), or they might have recognized the error and pulled it. In the which case I will have no proof of what I saw...

Shockwave 7, are you a robot or a Vulcon? I kid.
This statement is funny because it really kind of puts collecting into perspective. Do I need every Bluestreak I can find? Fact: No. Do I want every Bluestreak I can find? Emotional Response: YYYYEEEESSS!
Children exemplify this idea. I wonder at what age logic really kicks in?


The first S&C Grim Must have sold well, or else this decision would be completely illogical on Hasbro's part.

Well, it IS the whole basis for much of the comedic dialogue on any Star Trek show I have noted that much of the trolling that takes place on the internet is because of that very issue. Whenever people start losing on the basis of facts, they retreat into the comfort of emotional rhetoric, and thus, nothing gets resolved because in the minds of the emotional, their feelings counter any and all evidence to the contrary...

Totally!

so thats what hasbros doing with all the left over stock, pretending its something new & hoping itll actually sell this time. The AoE one is still warming shelves what makes them think this wont join its brother for the long haul? If it was a brand new mold or even a remolded AoE one i could understand but a straight up repaint, yeah good luck with that especially since it doesnt even come with a figure to activate the gimmicks.

And also sells for the exact same price.

..."But it's Robots in Disguise!"

Say what you will, it still works for the younger crowd.

Well, this was sudden. On the very same day that Toysrus has a listing for Robots in Disguise Stomp n' Chomp Grimlock, which finally revealed this figure, we have a store sighting. Shockwave7 spotted this big guy at the Orem, Utah Toys R Us store. Here is what he had to say about his discovery:
