The official Funko website have confirmed that the upcoming Funko Pop Retro Toys G1 Grimlock will be a Gamestop shared exclusive in the US.
The new Funko Pop Retro Toys G1 Grimlock was recently revealed as an Emerald City Comic Con 2021 Exclusive which will be sold during the Virtual Con Spring 2021 event in March. As with other Funko Pop event exclusives, it proved to be a quite difficult item to buy considering all the rules and conditions required this time. Fortunately for Funko Pop and Transformers collectors, it has been confirmed as a Gamestop shared exclusive item which will be available to the public at 6am PST on 3/4 on Funko.com and through respective sites and stores. The figure and packaging will be the same but with a different sticker on the box.

Was going to pick one up and planned to have it put on hold so I could run in on my lunch break. But seeing as its now been delayed I was thankfully able to preorder him. Thankfully I was able to get all three Funko Pops I wanted this time around.

Because he was an “exclusive”

Was able to grab one as well. Was tempted to get a Megatron too, but didn't want to pay for double shipping since they don't do it all in one order (since Grim was a pre-order), also didn't have a need for any others to validate the buy 3 for $11.99 get one free.
Was the $15 price tag because he is "exclusive" or is it a bigger POP then standard sized ones?

GameStop baby!

Considering they are still up on GameStop and didn't sell out in minutes, my guess is these will be easier to obtain than Jetfire and Nemesis.
Probably likely, they only gave out a certain number of lottery tickets, which probably matches or comes close to the number in stock.

I got a payment confirmation email from Paypal but nothing from Gamestop yet. I placed my order at 9:08. I'm really hoping my order got through.

I managed to grab one from Gamestop too. Checkout wasn\'t an issue, but the confirmation email took a while. I left the browser tab open out of paranoia until the email came in hahaha

Got my Grimlock from GameStop – woo!
I guess the Funko VirtualCon version sold out yesterday to the lottery winners as it wasn't available today.

Preorder may be the way to go. My brother who collects POPs sent this to me, regarding these exclusives actually being physically in GameStop stores.

Pre-orders just opened on the Gamestop website. Shipping happens 3/19.

Having trouble right now. Keep getting stuck at checkout.
Edit: When I tried to pay through Paypal it wouldn't let me place the order so I tried with a credit card. I checked my email and found out that the Paypal order went through, yet I never got confirmation from Gamestop. Odd.

Just got Grimlock off Gamestop!

Up for preorder now on GameStops site!

8 am cst is when it’s supposed to go up, also a really nice guy from a Funko group I am in offered to get anyone what they wanted if he wasn’t getting it so he got me both of the GS pops at cost.

Not lottery related but I'm currently stalking Gamestop.com. haha

Did anyone hear manage to snag a Grimlock? I figured someone who won the lottery, would have posted by now.

3/4 will be a preorder as GS stock has been delayed till 3/19 but I would still try your local GS as it was found in a couple
Stores on the shelf.

Probably ships on the 19th. I'd hover on the site Thursday. Even if you aren't sure, just be there on the earlier announced day.

I'm a bit confused. Gamestop's website says Grimlock will be available March 19 but the Funko Pop event states that shared exclusives will be available March 4. I really don't want to miss out on this one and want to be sure I'm ready on the right day.
