Re: RID Plat. Grimlock & BB on walmart.ca - $79.92

Hasbro and takara have a deal where they can use any molds they want from each other but takara molds usually exceed hasbros approved parts count for a mold.

What's funny is that this new Grimlock has fewer parts than the original since it's been gutted from its electronics.

They get made in the same place.

That Grimlock is just a refresh of the Fall of Cybertron Grimlock figure so it will have the same crappy hollow chest design... which is why they don't show it.

It's only worth considering at $30.

Even though I don't collect nu-RiD

Re: RID Plat. Grimlock & BB on walmart.ca - $79.92

I don't know why Hasbro is churning out these overpriced Platinum sets over and over again. Does anyone in Hasbro know these are not selling that well unless on sales? Putting the word "Platinum" doesn't ensure most of these atrocities become pricey collectibles that fans are lining up for. And for a few that are semi-worth buying like the Platinum Trypticon Hasbro has limited the distribution channel(s) such that they are harder to get. And even these are only being bought on sales.

Does anyone @ Hasbro see the picture?

The nice thing about this Grimlock is that he finally scales well to the cartoon. $90 good though? Nah. TAV was about 1/2 that price.
