In need of rare PVC

[Protoman]

Normally I don't have a problem finding a rare figure without just throwing money at it, but this time I am completely stumped. I recently started to fill in all the gaps of my SCF PVC collection and I can't find for the life of me a PVC Act 2 Chase Rodimus Convoy with Matrix. I have been looking for awhile now and I can't find a seller anywhere? Weather it be ebay or private..... no one has it up for grabs. Does anyone have one to trade/sell. Make me a offer.

Help me with my quest my beloved Cybertron.ca boarders. This Hot Rod / Rodimus Prime collector needs you.

there are few in chinatown here in Toronto. but they are not cheap. it's priced around $40 and add shipping and tax, you are looking at $55 retail.

Whoa whoa whoa..... a few? This exact rare chase PVC of the Act 2 Rodimus Convoy in clear colors with the matrix? Cause if so, 55 bucks? Hell pick it up for me, and I will give you 100.

wait a sec...rare??

you are talking about the large PVC models right?? the SCF PVC?? are you talking about the large one or the small one?? please post a pic.

I think he's talking about the legends of cybertron ones. The little pvc figures. This one, with rodimus holding the matrix over his head in "you got the touch" style. And transparent.

Best I could do, the tripod photo failed =P Can anyone find this. Heros of Cybertron was the stateside release of these, I need the colored clear (not just clear) version of Rodimus Convoy with the matrix.

oh that one. never mind. that's a japan import and it's rare in Japan to begin with. It's almost impossible to get it in Canada. Sorry.

[Protoman]

Bump. In big need of this one.

I have this problem with ghost Starscream. I'll keep an optic open.

[Protoman]

Thank you! If your refering to the clear colored chase Starscream of Act-5 then yeah, that's another tough one to find. I have been searching JUST for Roddy forever.

i myself have been trying to fill in the gaps of my pvc collection, ive got acts 1 thru 10...but the chase figures are crazy to find. i'll keep an eye out for hot rod for ya...do u have any good places to look for chase figures? (excluding ebay)

[Sunstar]

I'll keep an eye open for him. Could you keep an eye open for chase Act 5 Starscream there?

Try Yahoo Japan Auctions (bidding service). I didn't find any PVC figure though, worth a shot to check occasionally.

Here's the keyword/translation:

Hot Rod/Rodimus
ロディマスコンボイ
Or
ホットロディマス

Sorry, I can't seem to find an exact kanji translation for Hot Rod/Rodimus.

Goodluck!

Thanks Dark Rage, a friend did a couple of "rounds" for me checking there. We managed to find one.. but it was in a batch/lot with practically ALL THE OTHER chases and the bid was WAAYY over 107,000 (Over $1000), those japanese are crazy ;) I need Rodimus but not all the other 19 chases and the combiner figs too.... the search continues...

[Protoman]

Ok I finally got him, thanks to a cybertron.ca board lurker named "Andy" I managed to get the PVC I needed plus many more. Thanks all, this topic is closed and done.
