The release of TF4 figures was very limited here in Newfoundland Canada. So I had to break down and buy Slog from TRU online through ebay. I finally completed my collection of Dinobots though!

only kinda complete... i suggest getting the voyager grimlock if you can. they grims have strengths and weaknesses. leader has the better bot mode, and voyager has the better dino mode.

good job though

Very nice. I have the same set of Dinobots. Best part of the AOE line imho with the exception of Voyagers OP and Hound.

What do you mean by that?

But congrats on getting them all! I was unaware it was tough to find them in newfoundland. You guys dont have a toysrus or walmart nearby?

If you want, you can post your first post here. That's where we all post the stuff we are able to find. We also post pics we are particularly proud of here.

Some shops actually sell things on ebay. Strange but true. I presume he's referring to that.

Yeah toys r us was selling them on ebay

The town i live in has a Walmart and a Target but we get a limited selection of bots. What shelves we do have don't get restocked often. That being said they overstocked the shelves with the first wave of AOE deluxes, so we have an abundance of Slug, Scorn and Crosshairs at Target.

The closest Toys R Us is 8 hours away in St. John's

Congrats. I'm still not sure I'll get that Leader Grimlock, Dino mode looks off. :-?

It is off. You can see his big robot feet right next to his hips and his robot hands righ behind his dino feet.

So? The tail of the Voyager looks like two legs snapped together... wait, that's what it is :lol:

It has more to do with the proportions of the dino mode:

The hips are too far back, giving it an overly long torso.

I understand the disproportions, but I was more peeved off by the robot kibble. I dont mind robot parts forming something else. And i the case of grimlock, his legs forming his tail was even a nice homage. But vestigial parts are a big pet peeve of mine.

While Leader Grimlock is a little disproportionate he makes up for it with a legitimately fun transformation! I got mine on clearance so I may be a bit disillusioned to the sore price point everyone gripes about. I like both molds, Voyager has a better DIno mode but Leader has a better robot mode, weapon, and transformation.

But what about armpit articulation? I can never get the leader to have the right stand because the shoulder ratchets are so far from oneanother.

Yeah thats another con

I guess I'm a bit biased, I want a Leader Grimlock for my Dinobots to mirror the upscaled Leader sized Voyager Predaking for my Beast Hunters Predacons

Sun Jan 11, 2015 9:49 pm

Congrats on completing that.

I just got all seven, too. Although I went with the Voyager-class Grimlock. A bit cheaper, therefore better for me.

Thank you, congratulations to you too! I bought myself Voyager Grimlock a while back but my boyfriend bought me the Leader Grimlock for Christmas

You are confusing me again. Is that the upscaled cyberverse voyager Predaking or he Leader Beast Fire Predaking?

Its just that leader sized voyager is super confusing.
