"Electronic light and sounds."
Sounds? Is that new for the US release or was that already on the Takara version?

Grimlock did not have sounds. I suppose they could add a sound chip or something into the shoulder or arm assembly, but I'd be surprised if they did as it wasn't designed to have the cavity space for a speaker in the first place.

It doesn't mention any sound features on the box so I'm thinking they'll cover the "and Sounds" part with a nice black sticker before these hit mass retail.

Or the sound feature could just be a base piece, like Optimus/Convoy MP01.

I don't see any sign of a base and surely if there was a sound feature it would have been highlighted alongside the other features, not just in a small blurb.

If you haven't heard, Hasbro announced Grimlock will be hitting TRU on July 1. Figures, I'll be making my rare trip to TRU this week, not next week... Emerje

Exciting! My nearest TRU is an hour away, but I'm going to do my best to track him down.

My nearest TRU is just down the street - but it's the ghetto TRU, so... *huff*

Does anyone know how much US Masterpiece Grimlock will be selling for?

Can anyone confirm that this has already hit the shelfs at toys r us? I've been going to the store for the past couple of days and even showed a picture to the people working there and they said that they don't have it or have any knowledge of this figure.

I did that right when the store, in dublin california open @ 10. Gonna go again now to see if they have it. The thing is, they didn't even clear out shelf space for it so I doubt this branch is getting any.

I have not seen any posts on the TF sites about anyone getting Grimlock yet so maybe the shipment is late or something.

OK, folks, this is important. It seems Grimlock was not released on July 1st after all. There have been no reports of sightings and the Hasbro announcement has now been altered removing any mention of July 1st or TRU. Some are saying it's been delayed until after SDCC, other say it's now an SDCC exclusive, and others say it's been cancelled (if that were true then Hasbro wouldn't have just changed the announcement, they would have removed). No matter what the case it isn't out now so don't waste your time hunting for it. Emerje

Thanks for clearing it up. Like I was saying, I asked and showed a picture to a couple of the workers there at toys r us and they don't know about it. They have said that their computer system would of have pricing and other info on it before they can stack it on the shelfs.

I really want this figure but i am too cheap to pay the Japanese import price. I was so looking farward to hunting him down at my local TRU.
