    You can see here the difference in the boxes between the imported w2 and the Hasbro UK w1 - look near the age ratings!

    Studio W2 (Jazz, Lockdown) are UK stock, w1 are the imports!

    If you're still on site, get me a photo of the Rippersnapper, or any other POTP w2 deluxe, there please!

    Popped to London Forbidden Planet at 7pm this evening. The only w2 PotP deluxe they had left was Rippersnapper (loads of him). No Rodimus Unicronus either.

    To be honest I have no idea; I tend to ignore the movie stuff (slightly out of indifference, mostly due to not having a clue what I'm looking at).

    My aunt managed to pick up Studio Series Lockdown for me from Forbidden Planet, will probably get it on Thursday. Also Blackout is on the way from ID toys! Both the studio series I want are nearly mine!

    Anyone spotted Elita-1 and / or Moonracer? Possibly Silverbolt too?

    Midlands / South area would be great

    Hot Rod (G1)/toys - Transformers Wiki

    The above inflation rising costs of toys. Everything has about doubled in that time :-(

    I sold my old TRU Hot Rod reissue for £15 not long ago, think I may have done myself a disservice!

    I seem to remember buying the 2002 Hasbro reissue for AU$30, about £12 at the time according to xe.com!
    Glad I held onto it too...

    This is through an importer though. Would be interesting to compare the cost of both in dollars. I want this but I'm too skint to justify it right now :(
