Nice galleries
Definitely happy with the Takara version over Hasbros, the pointy features are worth it to me, and I don't miss the extra paint on the Hasbro version. Although I do wish I had a crown.

You could always go this route.
I passed on the Hasbro version since I already had the Takara version. Kind of regret not getting both, oh well.

Yea, thanks El Duque, but I somehow haven't been able to muster up the need to drop 17 for a crown and mug, haha.
Can you actually store the crown anywhere in dino mode? like fit it on the dino head, or inside the chest?

If you don't mind the crown being shit, then iGear does a good job. It's the least impressive thing in that entire package. Doesn't even sit perfectly straight .... or mine doesn't anyhow.

Yea, me too.
But then I tell myself, "70 bucks is real money for a couple paint apps and a crown!"

I just can't decide which one I want! I'm in a situation where I need the accessories to make him my own. All I want is a Grimlock with his bowtie and apron in Dino mode, sitting nicely on my bedside, but in robot mode, to have his crown. Can't they just release a version with both pairs of accessories?!

I LOVE my Hasbro Grimlock! 
He is so awesome and I am never affraid of breaking him. Also he just looks sooo perfect. Anyways for those who live on Long Island, TRU (next to the mall) on 110 still has a few left. Was there yesterday and they had ALOT of ROTF shelfwarmers. Also one Blurr. I picked up Recon Ironhide for $12. Sux that he was broken T.T need to return him today.
If anyone wants MP Grimlock, just PM me and I'll send you my email address for paypal, it'll cost $100 for Grimlock, shipping supplies and UPS ground shipping to anywhere in the 48 states.

Not only is the TRU version better in several ways, but it is also cheaper than the Takara version. I have a hard time paying $200, even for a Masterpiece Transformer.

Also he is supposedly coming with his targetmaster tooo yeah I also have a hard time paying $100-$120 just for "Rodimus prime" alt Mode that in a way is actually just a clip on accessory.

Ok, ok. The Hasbro one is cheaper, but better in several ways? No, not really. The Hasbro one has the shoulder markings which are cool and toy accurate. It also has the rounded teeth, which is a little lame. Both issues are insignificant.
Takara gets you the nice collector's box and extra parts (which are balanced by the Hasbro crown). Hasbro gets you the cost savings. Cost and packaging are the only real factors here. The toys are essentially the same.

I'd take you up on that offer if it weren't for the fact that I have to have a tooth pulled next week, so that'll be taking up major space on my credit card.
