Don't forget Tracks.




BTW, the Commemorative Edition stripes don't come with the toy. It's a custom job I recently did.

 

Ooo...a Decepticon in the mix.

I've seen all of those except the 'Vette (Tracks)

Sideswipe - Viper
Hound - Jeep
SilverStreak! - RX-8
DeadEnd - Viper
SmokeScreen - WRX

 

Here's the current list of Transformers Binaltech/Alternators:

* A second version was also released in Japan, featuring a new color scheme and parts to replicate the current WRC rally team. In addition, this version includes a shoulder-mounted missile launcher not found in other models.
** Available in either left-hand drive or right-hand drive.

I went looking at both Target and Meijer last night. Only ones i found (in SE MI) were the dark green Wrangler, red Viper, WRC WRX, and silver WRX. If anyone in the Downriver MI area finds Grimlock, PM me immediately!

 

Smokescreen (Impreza WRC) and Side Swipe (Viper) are overstocked everywhere to the point where they should be discounted by 25-50%. Most Targets have an adequate supply of Hound (Wrangler). Silverstreak (Impreza WRX) and Dead End (Viper Competition) aren't common, but not rare, either. Tracks (Corvette Z06) and Meister (RX-8) are a pain to locate.

As for Grimlock, you might have to resort to eBay until after Christmas.

 

Hey Guys,
I have been trying to find this Grimlock toy for Christmas. I can not find it anywhere. If any of you know where these are sold, please let me know.
Thanks

 

it wont be officially out for a while... some say you may find some at eBay

 

New update guys, I went to the Hasbro website and they have a propsed arrival date to retail stores in January 2005.

 

Here's some pics from the Japanese version.


Notice: "offered a body of immense strength"
Here are all kinds of pics.

Like this. And yes, he is using the red leather upgraded seats as feet. One heck of a scotchguard coating on that.
Also, check this out. Mazda RX-8 How come Ford doesn't have one of these at their website?

 

Love the Japanese translations. Note: the last pic is an American one somebody picked up at Wal-Mart or something. So, apparently they are out early.

-Edit: That last one is actually from Hong Kong. I did read somewhere that someone had found it already. Huh.

 

I ordered a Binal Tech version (metal) and I got an email that it shipped today.

 

The alternator, plastic, version of Grimlock has been spotted at Wal Marts

 

I thought so. Thanks for letting me know I hadn't gone COMPLETELY insane. Just kinda.

 

Hey Kluski,

Where did you order the Binaltech Grimlock from? I need to get my hands on one of these

 

I got it from Digital Toys.

http://www.digital-toys.com

It was an Ebay Auction. $49.99 and $0.01 shipping. So it was $50. I got it today.

 

and the back. Anyone read Japanese? I think the translation is posted above this post.

 

I think I'm going to have to give mine the spoiler delete option when I get it tomorrow. A buddy of mine found 4 at the local Wally World and he got me one. If only I could give it the Bullitt rims, then I'd have the Mustang I want to order.

 

I know all of us old school guys who like Optimus Prime and dislike decepticons were glad the election turned out the way it did.

 

LOL,

Go Optimus, Go :headbang:

 

I purchased two Alternator Grimlocks this morning at Wal-Mart in Burlington NJ (close to home). Checked one other Wal-Mart in Hamilton NJ this afternoon with no luck.
