Re: Grimlock Unleashed Kreo Set Released in Canada
it's been available at Bowmac TRU in BC for a few weeks now. I'm also not a kreo collector but that set must be mine.
HUGE price increase from TRU.com...so sad.

Huge price increase, really? This is a TRU Exclusive set, the price in the states was 25$, I half expected it to be 45$ if it hit CND shelves, the fact that it only increased by 15$ CND is a much better deal IMO.
EDIT: Er technically 14$ increase, my bad.

That's ok Scrapper6!
Just wait for a sale (which we know will happen sometime) and it'll be closer to U.S retail without the drive :)

Re: Grimlock Unleashed Kreo Set Released in Canada
$5 - $10 I can live with. anything more than that and I consider it a ripoff.
voyagers at walmart.com are $20 online or $24 in store(don't ask me why there's a difference) so the $29 we pay here I can live with (but wait for sales most of the time anyways).
chromecast is $39 here and $35 down south. so only expecting a $5 - $10 difference is reasonable.

If you can afford it just buy it now while it's available, and you have 45 day return if it goes on sale :) That's what I'm doing.

Re: Grimlock Unleashed Kreo Set Released in Canada
Kinda cool that it comes with the five Kreon's, including Galvatron & Lockdown - basically the only two new movie ones I would want.
I will likely pick this up this weekend.

Why doesn't it "transform"?
Or can somebody make some instructions on how to unofficially "transform" this into bot mode?

Officially, I think Hasbro is focusing more on selling Kreons these days instead of 2-1 sets. All of the AoE sets do not feature new heads or joints for building robot modes for any of the figures, and the Dinobots, much like the Predacons from Beast Hunters, seem to be relegated to brick-built dinos that don't actually transform.
It's possible their marketing team tested new 2-1 builds and found that their focus groups and the like just weren't interested any more.
It's also possible that they decided to omit that feature because of Construct-Bots. I'm not sure, all I know is that the cheaper sets suffer due to this, because of lack of parts and simpler looking Dino builds, while the larger sets are more like LEGO now being playsets for the Kreons to interact with compared to buildable Transformers, who knows, if SDCC reveals next years sets return to the 2-1 builds it could just be for the movie line, if not... Kreons are the main selling point and Hasbro's ditching the brick built 2-1 model, which may or may not be a good thing design wise.

Had one set in my hands today while shopping at Vaughan Mills and decided to leave it behind... I just couldn't justify spending $39.99 plus taxes...

Re: Grimlock Unleashed Kreo Set Released in Canada
39.99 for basically the grimlock kreon.....no for now.
(i did the same for the megatron/sentinel prime and starscream sets,bought the sets,removed the kreons and gave the rest of the sets to my little brother)

Re: Grimlock Unleashed Kreo Set Released in Canada
I showed up to my local TRU as the last sets were walking out the door. I was out grocery shopping and had to stop off at home to drop off some icecream before toy shopping and totally missed out on this set because i didnt want melted icecream. la de da, someone thinks highly of himself that he doesn't have to eat melted icecream. here you go your majesty, firm ice cold icecream...enjoy.
