Because ebay is known to always have figures early? And maybe he thinks it would be worth it to have it now?
Sadly, I think I'm going to pass on this guy. Not only did I not like Lockdown, there's just not much to make me want this figure.
Full list of Movie store exclusive toys for Australia. Ouch, don't want this to be the end of the list. I hope fellow collectors in Australia can snag Hot Rod without importing. Hope Hasbro kept their word of making all exclusive figures available in different ways regionally
I am a bit disappointed that this figure is bigger than Lockdown. I hope they re-release this figure and do a proper Lockdown version.
It'd be nice for them to do some of the older characters in a new way. Especially now they have access to the ILM files. I'd happily buy a Lockdown retooled from this and sold as a Voyager along with a swappable face and all his different weapons.
Great pics. Thanks. Shame that they gave him Lockdown's feet. But that won't stop me from getting him.
Thanks for the pics! So he definitely doesn't come with any weapons, huh.... I don't have my Lockdown anymore so I can't visualize it perfectly but I wonder if he could still stand if you cut the toes off? Or at least shaved them down?
Hasbro meeting Boss: So we're introducing our fans to a new character that will be like Bumblebee's brother in arms type of guy. What can we do to make that distinction clear? Some worker: What better way to show these fans we have a new character like Bumblebee by giving it the 'ole Bee treatment? Remold a few parts and sell it as a new figure! Boss: Promotion nao.
It is an annoying little quirk isn't it! The guy who's supposed to be taller than the other cars is designed shorter, and then for Hot Rod, they take the same mold and make it taller, when he's supposed to be the same height! Aggghhhhhh!
Hey guys just made an account to ask about this. Is it gonna release in every Walmart (like can I just walk in my local small Walmart and pick this up) or do I have to order it from their website? Also anyone knows when this will be out?
