Grimlock disappeared from my cart. I was a few seconds too late

Did he stomp (and chomp) off in a huff?

Yeah, they are now unavailable. Did any of you actually get to purchase them?

And can anyone tell me how this optimus differs from the first edition optimus that came out before. They look the same

First Edition:

Thanks! I am actually kind of torn as to which one I like better. For the main body sculpt, its obvious that the first edition is superior, just look at his shoulders. But that backpack is HUGE and its a bit better in the leader version. I am actually not that big a fan of either of these. It doesnt seem like they are trying to outdo themselves this time around (unlike with ROTF)

Grimlock no longer available!!

I did get both Grimlock and Prime...like 10 min ago or so. Grimlock went fast.

heh. maybe I was wrong. or they realised the price was wrong and pulled them

Betcha the Leader Amazon prices were a fawk-up and all the orders will be cancelled. Still a bit less cruel than the 50$ MP-10 mishap a good while back.

BTW, for the newcomers Voyager Grimlock is WAY superior than the leader. All the proportions are just right. So the dino dont look like Longcat and the robot is actually intimidating.
Also, get the Voyager Optimus Prime. It's the G1 truck that change into Movie Prime!

Now guys, please just stop complaining about the simple toys. It's becoming redundant. So far, the deluxes look promising and THE VOYAGERS ARE THE TOYS TO GET FOR US ADULTS.

Ok, so we now know that they both change in 18 steps, making Scourge still the most complex figure with 19 steps and he is simply a deluxe. This lets us know that the bigger the figure does not add to the complexity this time as well (too bad). Does anyone know how many steps are involved with the voyager transformations?


Edit

The voyager classes also change in 18 steps. So Scourge is officially the most complex figure documented so far. Too bad.

Scourge? There's no Scourge in this line.

That Optimus Prime either was rushed being transformed, or the photographers just don't know how to transform something into vehicle mode. Prime's step by the door is not snapped into place.

The second Optimus is noticeably shorter. He would have looked much better if he was the same height as the first edition.

Kokomo Toys on ebay has the Dino Sparkers in hand listed.

I meant Scorn my bad. Scorn is 19 steps and thus the most steps seen so far

Grimlock preorder is back up

[william-james88]

the 26$ Grimlocks are back on amazon by the way

[mtma]

Any details on pricing of the Platinum Voyager Grimmy and Prime pack?

[Doubledealer93]

preordered. those are some low prices for leader class toys. also free shipping..

[mooncake623]

Grimlock no longer available!!

They're back up and at the same price as before as well.

[william-james88]

The shipping and customs advance payment for canada is ruining the good deal. I hope ebay.ca lists them soon at a comparable price

[reluctantyouth]

Now the prices for each are back up to $26.99. This is still a good price for a Leader Class...even if these have more chrome than retail release. My first edition AOE Prime had some of the worst chrome apps I have ever seen and started coming off within 3 days of getting him.I bought from Amazon and returned to Hasbro. Hasbro gave me the full refund...probably more of a hassle, but did not have the packaging to send the item back to Amazon and/or was sure it would be accepted.

So its confirmed that the retail release do not have the chrome apps? I thought only the voyagers didn't have the chrome.

[william-james88]

Evasion Mode Prime is a Voyager Class figure, not Deluxe. >:oP And I can't say I don't dig him. Grimlock on the other claw, I'll wait for comparisons between Voyager and Leader.

Now that you can compare, what do you think? They are both fine in robot mode for me and I like how they are totally different transformations but I dont find that either of them nail the beast mode (which should be the main draw for a movie dinobot). The voyager Grimlock has this weird hump in it's back and no neck while the Leader Grimlock has too long a neck (to store the legs since they no longer make up the tail). And they are both as complex. I preffer the dinosaur head of the Voyager while I preffer the tail of the Leader. So I dont know which one I would own myself. How about you?

[Doubledealer93]

Anyone notice it says available on may 1st 2022? So i should expect to see them shipped in 8 years?

Looks like Leader Prime has the same chrome, but check out Grimlock and the lack thereof when compared to the Amazon version.
