    All i can say is I'm thinking it's a KO version from mostly cause of the box. Either way i think I'd give the scratch to have another copy. Well even though i have it from the 2002 commemorative version. Id also say bring it and more on like this. I don't have any of the old orginal boxes with the figure.

    “How can we be more like Toys R is?”

    “Re-Issue an old toy!”

    “Pick a character that was never popular with kids in the 80’s!”

    “How about we get a new exclusive both demographics will like?”

    I feel like Hasbro has been trying to ram this character down my throat for 30+ years.

    I'm down. Rerelease everything previously released but at reasonable prices and I'd buy every one.

    That was the flagship (or one of them at least) character for their 80s movie and most of season 3.

    Well I’ll be damned.
    I have a well worn original Hotrod, a fairly nice original Targetmaster Hotrod complete in box, the 2002 reissue Hotrod mint on my display shelf... I’ve got the WST Hotrod figure, two copies of the 2006 Classics figure, two Masterpiece incarnations of Hotrod, two copies of the Titans Return Hotrod, a Takara Legends Targetmaster Hotrod...the SCF/PVCs, etc.

    Of course I’m totally in for this Walmart release!!!!

    Only if it has a vintage box. I've already got a loose original and the ToysRUs version. Although, the Walmart part has me concerned. They're not exactly a great source of displayable boxes. It's a forgone conclusion the stores won't stock it and the site loves to slap giant barcode stickers all over everything.

    Wal-Mart and exclusive Hot Rods haven't been a winning combo.

    I sure hope this isn’t what was supposedly rumored as the MP-09 reissue.

    Wait, so they can’t be bothered to stock any current product but they are going to pick up a random reissue of an already very common G1 toy? What?
