The figure is crap!! I agree and cannot see why so many are selling. The figure is not worth $79.99 let alone what the scalpers are charging. NOTHING on mine ordered from TRU.com worked correctly...I was afraid to even change the eye color after the gun to mine broke off in Grimlock's hand hole. I took mine back as defective to my local TRU and now have another MISB (none of the gimmicks worked on mine as figure was super loose...not that the gimmicks are worth a damn anyway). I really do not plan on even opening it...probably just display in box. This figure is a complete disappointment to the nth degree!
I wish Hasbro would have gutted this thing of gimmicks and just gave us a figure that would properly lock in robot form so that it could be handled and displayed. I could give a crap if the head and tail move or the gun/sword light up.![]()

Maybe get the old Hasbro one? cause all the gimmicks works fine and are awesome.

I know this toy was on some shelves at the end of May, but nothing since. My local TRU just gives me the "I don't know" run around. Any help is appreciated.

Yeah, I was gonna say the (horrible) problems you have experienced are not linked to the figure itself, but I guess a bad batch or QC problems with this particular release. I have the original Takara release and everything is fine. If you're not scared of it breaking he's actually really fun
He never felt worth the Takara prices though, I'll admit

There's nothing wrong with that either! It's a line where I think you really have to be into the character you're paying for to appreciate the detail and engineering that goes into them, and the sometimes slavish cartoon accuracy. That is not something for everyone or every budget.

Understand that some people (myself included) have to sometimes convince THEMSELVES that they don't want a particular toy for whatever reason. Sometimes when you are a collector or a little obsessed and you either don't have the room or the money to buy something you might want to complain about the flaws in the figure in an attempt to say "I don't need this, and this is why". you may regret it later once you have to pay scalper prices, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

The only question is that do you use your toys as display or to play with from time to time. I would say the grimlock is amazing in both modes, they have some TOY problems with it like joint mobility. There are some sculpt issues too. but this toy line is the best of both worlds toy and sculpt (art). this grimlock is worth every penny. This will fetch 140$+ next year when it is out of production. So is it worth it? yes, youre not going to lose money.

I fully agree. Anyone who can get this for less than 100$ should feel no buyer's remorse based on the price alone.
Though I would add that some past movie leaders as well as the Human Alliance line (and the hunt for decepticon line) have also been the best of both worlds, though obviously not as consistent as the MP line. And of course, its not the classic esthetic.

i'm not a real collector, but if youre a real collector you know that the best things to collect for value are the OG (original) of any product line, not the reinvention or alternative look. (unless its some rare low supply figure that completes a set to a more popular team of figures... i really dont know if anyone should collect alternative costumes or designs for the future monetary value).
i may be wrong about all of this, but this is my opinion to anyone still thinking a sub-par grimlock isn't worth ~100 dollars. anyone see the going rate of mp-10 on ebay? 300 dollars!!!
