Yesterday, we brought you the news of Transformers: Age Of Extinction Bumblebee and Optimus Prime statues which you can purchase from Kids Logic.
Meanwhile, Paramount Mexico has a huge robotic (Animatronic is the proper word here) Grimlock being displayed to the general public as a marketing stunt for the upcoming Michael Bay movie.
Facebook page Transformers Cars has few images of the beast and there is a video of Grimlock in action at Paramount Mexico Instagram Account and on their Facebook Account

Agreed. I live in Mexico too, in Walmart booklets they say that AOE stuff will be exclusive to them (I wonder what happens with Hasbro and that kind of deals) , and they just have the kiddie stuff. I guess the glorious days of ample toy distribution (like it happened with TFTM and ROTF) are over in my country.

Not really, try ordering from ebay and the like, u can get some great prices there with free shipping there are the voyagers there from taiwan, £28.99 (don't know what that is in dollars) free P&P. sure it isn't cheap but it would be a lot more expensive if it was in your local store considering your in Mexico xD
Hope that helps!

Hi every one! new one here!….im from Mexico, i can´t go to see this, but looks pretty cool. The only thing is that hasbro has denied us the generations AOE line, the only presented the kids line :S and theres the rumor (from someone who works in hasbro-Mexico) that we wont have any figure until october and the may be only tow or tree of the first wave, nothing else. Just a rumor, but true so far :S i rather have the figures that this Grimlock. ç8dot get me wrong…looks awesome, but i want those dinobots now the will cost twice the price plus shiping for importing :S)
greetings everyone!

lol at this
yeah it was a good display event with grimlock crosshairs bbee optimus and trax and sonic(dunno if they are only promoting cars or are they actual transformers in the movie)
but guys dont complain they said that will be the presentation of the new line of toys and yeah….we only get dino sparkers and those shit one step changers…..
anyway we still have prime toys in retail at most markets and that sucks

Exactly.
Everyone bitching about the lack of toys one day after the street date will be bitching again in a month when wave one is everywhere and the newest wave is nowhere to be found.

They perceive the economic return as not being worth the effort, most likely.

So why are the Stores not doing it?

That is one funny looking Grimlock but it's also sooo very cool, god damn you Mexico and your cool shit.

Looks nice, but I'll have to see the robot mode before I'll preorder. What's the MSRP?

Hasbro has nothing to do with what the stores get for product or their displays. That's up to the stores themselves.

Are you KIDDING me?

First time they bring something like this in my country, sadly I couldn't attend if they bring it to other states & I can go I will share what I can

Investing heavily in marketing in a market your brand is already well-known and heavily successful can be a poor return on investment.

Hasbro: "We gave you Cybertron Monday…that's kind of a form of 'acknowledging you.'"

The "almighty" American Dollar begs to differ…

Us Americans ALWAYS get the good stuff, so when we finally don't and another country gets a chance it's suddenly unfair? Yeah, okay…
