Good lord, i hope he comes with the classic box, edvastator it's not anymore a dream!.

 

It doesn't have the red translucent decoder stripe  

And I wish it came with twisties, so that I could fix him to the insert again, when I put him in the box.

Interestingly it has rubber tires, I would have expected plastic. But the feet are plastic.

And I'm leaving the stickers off. More toon accurate and the only sticker I would have applied would be for the crotch piece. But having looked at the sticker sheet, the sticker looks different than I would have expected and doesn't fit to the molding on the figure and would probably peel off with time.

A clean silver sticker for the lower middle section that looks like his cartoon crotch would be cooler. And while we're at it: black boots.

But it's cool to have a G1 Hot Rod  

And now I understand where Rodimus with orange hands comes from. That's a G1 toy thing.

 

The toes are plastic?? Dammit...I thought they were metal on this release...

 

DOH! 

I feel dumb for not thinking more worldly. I wasn't aware of Murasame location. 

 

Anyone have the SKU number. I looked it up on brickseek a few months back now I can’t find anymore info on it.

 

Ok, so I read that this has plastic (not diecast) feets...I must say I'm disappointed & it does affect my decision to get this version now.

 

I had heard from that video review posted several pages back that he had Diecast feet?

 

I hope that the insert will be placed correctly upon arrival as I will keep this MISB. I've seen reviews of this and the toes seem to be metal painted black.

 

Boardie Murasame has the item in-hand? (I'm seeing his pictures 1 page before this plus his thoughts couple of posts up?)

 

So, has this actual shown up in any Walmarts yet?

 

Nope.

 

I think it was said that this will show up in September?

 

Oh, that's the first I'm hearing of an actual date good to know when it's likely to turn up.

 

Like I said, I think September, because I think I remember reading that somewhere. But hopefully sooner!!!  

 

No, they're not.

 

Confused - what insert?

 

the figure sits on

It's in the wrong direction, at least on mine. See the previous page.

 

This is confusing, because others who have gotten him (including that one video review) said he has metal feet painted black.

 

Not at my local Walmart yet.

And I don't even know why I asked an "associate" if he knew anything. 5 minutes of my life entirely wasted.

 

I'd just keep checking Walmart.com and once it shows up as in stock there then that's probably a good sign that it is in stock at the actual store.
