    As far as I remember the BSL one never actually came out, the one that did was Thunder something.

    It also uses pins in most places instead of screws.

    Confirm, the only KO out is Thunder Model TH-01 with tiny wheels

    Been a while since I owned the figure, but aren't the two guns exactly the same and the time stopper piece just clips on the top of either one?

    That is correct! You can just pull off the time stopper part so he has two normal submachine guns. The problem comes when you want two time-stopper guns, which I wanted, so I got one from someone else :)

    It had been in my shelf for two years, I think?
    Mess around with him, try to transform him back and fort.

    His design is good, great engineering and transformation is so fluid. It is not simple transformation but very enjoyable.

    Very very nice figure!

    i really appreciate this figure's engineering. however you feel about the design or the character, the fact the movie design lends itself so well to a believable transformation is astounding and la hire's engineers killed it. i can't believe every vehicle part on the robot mode is real, accurate, and he actually has seats in alt mode that hide in bot mode with working doors, which blows me away.

    Hey folks; I’m itching to grab a La Hire, and I understand that most of the ones I’ll find on EBay are KOs of him, whereas most legit shops are sold out. Any advice on where to get one, or how the KOs are? I’d love to get the figure, but I’d hate to have the joy of his engineering bogged down by the quality of a lesser KO.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    (As I post this I’m also reading through the thread, but it’s hard to filter things out through 86 pages…)

    This is incoming at ShowZ for any who missed him: [Incoming] DX9 K3 La Hire Rodimus Hot Rod
    Apparently ShowZ is expecting the BSL KO in a few weeks as well if the original at $89 is the least bit offensive.

    Interesting. Never picked him up, and still tempted... but man, why did this figure NEVER get any repaint or retool? Both modes look great, but I would really prefer different colours & a new head design.

    I want to get him, but I refuse to support dx9 re-issues if they come with rust like my hanzo did.

    I'm thinking of picking up a 2nd copy just to have in alt mode, its so sleek. The engineering for transformation itself is unique enough to just mess around with but I can understand how the aesthetic doesn't fit someone's preference.

    2nd this. Fun transformation, great looking bot and alt modes, no QT issues (on mine at least). Really a premium figure imo.
