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.

Thanks for the info! I am not so well informed about Funko Pop. I will try to look for an image of the one bought via the lottery.

They also have a promo today and hes on sale. Lol. Dangit. He's 20% off, $12.00

That’s awesome! Ended up getting mine on Friday just after the store opened. It’s a fantastic little POP.
For POP! retail convention exclusives, they all share the same convention sticker. Figures that are bought through the lottery have a different sticker signifying their status.
Black Convoy
Oh interesting. So the Gamestop version has the same sticker as the Virtual Con Grimlock?? I thought the Gamestop box would have a store exclusive or special edition stickers instead.

I certainly would. Picked one up at GS just now.View attachment 29013652

I’m pretty sure this POP! is set to drop in stores today, but it’s not showing up that way on GameStop’s website. Any worth in going out to check to see if stores got them in?
Black Convoy
Thanks for the heads up. I will check.

@Black Convoy the article says that the currency is Euros, rather than Pounds.

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”
Dolf
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.
