Well as some/most of you know, Takara Released a reissue of Deluxe Rodimus. Now.....I have 2 questions.
1-After shipping itll cost almost 50 bucks for me to own. I'm 16 and only have the BIS Rodimus and always wanted this but I don't know if I can justify $50 for a single deluxe....So, if you were me, would you get it?

2-are you getting it?

Thanks for the responses!

 

I hate the Classics Rodimus mold since it's ugly and I don't think the 50 bucks is worth it for a figure that isn't worth that much.

 

Depends how into Classics you are, and if you have the Fansproject upgrade for him. I paid $65 shipped for my first one, and may pick up another one for $40. If you have the Fansproject upgrade, I think it is a must. The BiS set looks goofy under the armor. If not, I would say there are better things to spend money on. And I am a classics whore.

 

maybe getting it, but i have the bis and original classics one, so not 100% sold

 

Getting it is on my mind, cause that is one shiny spoiler. I have BiS and Classics Rodimus, so like brr-icy, I'm not 100% sold on it.

 

Nope. Got Henkei Rodimus when he was first out at a local chinese mall in my area.

And yes, I would get it. I have the BiS one and I personally think that deco is crap, especially if you're planning on getting Protector. I only got that set for the Cyclonus and the Matrix accessory.

 

take a girl out to dinner or a movie instead, worry about the expensive stuff when youve got a soul crushing day job

 

I agree, I have a BiS Roddy. Besides the fact he doesn't match the Fans Project Protector, the BiS mold is very shotty. I'm buying it.  

 

Personally, I wouldn't. The Battle in Space version is my favorite deco that mold's ever had. I even sold my Classics Rodimus once I got it. BiS has the proper yellow spoiler, and all sorts of show-accurate paint details like additional red on the helmet, gray hands and boots, and orange and yellow wrist details that the classics and henkei versions lack. He's the most show accurate deco available. Henkei comes close to an accurate deco (chest and wrists), but not all the way.

 

Personaly henkei version blows the rest out of the water its pricey, and yes u should get it now while its cheap and available if u have the funds. we should be happy where not paying $125 price tag it was going for a while back..

 

Nah, its not worth it really. Its not that great of a mold. Get something better for less money..

 

I have the Challenge at Cybertron version of Rodimus and too pre-ordered Henkei Rodimus Reissue. I just hate some of the grey parts on CaC Rodimus that should have been black and that the flame on his chest is barely distinguishable from the orange parts and that his canopy is opaque. I thought of maybe mixing parts, because I like the red on the CaC Rodimus version. Maybe replacing the outer parts (legs and arms) on Henkei Rodimus with the red parts of CaC.


But it's true. The mold isn't that great. If there would be a new mold of Rodimus, I would greatly prefer to get that one, instead of the old chunky one again. It's just that Rodimus is my favourite Autobot and I want him to look as good as he can  

 

If you're price conscious, there are better ways to spend your cash.

 

The Challenge at Cybertron version of Rodimus is nonsense, i bought it & immediately regret my purchase.

 

What are BiS Rodimus' hands made out of? It doesn't even seem to be plastic. It looks like the material they use for grey prototypes.

 

Uh, it's plastic. it's painted gray.

 

I'm getting a Protector Armor set with a classics Rodimus from some one on this site, since I hated the BIS rodimus. I would say pick it up before people buy them all and up the price again

 

^^.

And I do, so I'm getting Rodimus.

 

Really? Doesn't seem like it to me. It has a different feel and texture.

 

That would be the paint.
