(PS Mine has a chunk missing from one half of one arm where the fist meets. Not really acceptable for a $40 toy that size.)

Yeah I was excited to see him "in the wild" yesterday and quickly scooped one up. As I was walking away I noticed the "$39.99" price sticker on the shelf. No thanks!

And was the original G1 Hotrod this small? I realize the last time I saw it I would've been a much smaller human... but he just looked tiny in his little backwards box.

G1 Transformers are tiny! G1 Devastator isn't that much taller than an individual Combiner Wars Constructicon :)

Yep, THEY weren't bigger, YOU were smaller!

I love it. I grabbed one for my misb hotrod/rodimus collections and one for my open hotrod display. I've always wanted a misb g1 hotrod (I've got a takara targetmasters misb) no way I'm paying what a misb g1 hotrod is going for, this looks good enough for my display.

I'm getting it, but I would have preferred the Targetmaster version!

Re: G1 Hot Rod Re-issue thoughts
 

Me too! I still have the original so I am still undecided to get this or not.

Re: G1 Hot Rod Re-issue thoughts
 

I have both versions, regular Hot Rod and TargetMaster Hot Rod so I'm gonna skip this one.

Re: G1 Hot Rod Re-issue thoughts
 

Honestly, just seeing the g1 box on the shelf is worth the price to me. Nostalgic as eff.

Re: G1 Hot Rod Re-issue thoughts
 

^Yep.


I have the Commemorative Starscream, and the Commemorative Hot Rod. I didn't figure on picking up Starscream, but did after seeing it in-store a few times. I figure the same will happen with Hot Rod.
