Thats funny. Is he the binaltech version or the regular version?

I saw one at Target today, but I didn't get it. It was 19.95. Its that a good price? I was misled by the fact that it was on the "clearance" shelf.
BTW, I got a second Grimlock at Wal-Mart yesterday for $19.73.

Some notes about the Alternator Grimlock:
1. While Grimlock comes with the ICA seats and door inserts, the dashboard is V6-plain and the steering wheel is plain black. The interior door handles are also unpainted as well. You'll need some masking tape (Tamiya masking tape is highly recommended, as it leaves no sticky residue when removed) and a Sharpie metallic silver pen (or a thin brush and silver paint) to give the interior the "fully-loaded" look.
2. For those who want the spoiler-delete option: The spoiler is mounted with one screw on each side under the trunk. Once unscrewed, the spoiler halves do not immediately fall off, as the inner tabs (located above the third brake light) are tightly mounted. Simply pull them off. Once you have the spoiler removed, just fill the holes with putty, sand the areas until they blend with the entire surface, and repaint the trunk.

I'm disaapointed. What happened to the good ol' file cards and red-tranlucent plastic so I can see their personal stats?

What really stinks about the Alternators is that all you get are the car and a cheap (READ: Incomprehensive) instruction sheet. No Tech Specs and no backstory on the TF.
(BTW, I don't read TF instruction sheets anymore. Besides, where's the fun in transforming one with the sheet in front of you?)

Most of this is old news, and I should've reported it earlier:
- Last month, Toys 'R' Us had a special 2-pack Alternators deal for $19.97. At least 90% of the bundles were Smokescreen (Subaru Impreza WRC Rally Car) + Side Swipe (Dodge Viper SRT-10), but I managed to score one bundle with Smokescreen + Grimlock.
- I picked up Wheeljack a couple of months ago. For some reason, I think the build quality isn't as good as Grimlock. The paint finish isn't much to talk about; I'm debating on whether or not to repaint it. And the spoiler needs some realignment.
