Hard Heroes was clearing out their storage locker which was FILLED with prototypes and molded resins of all their statues (not just Transformers, but Marvel, Conan, ect). So they put a bunch up for sale.

One of my favorite collections right here! Awesome.

Just insane, but in a good way

So, I'm curious: is there a piece of Rodimus/hot-rod related memorabilia that you don't own?

Good sir, that is quite the collection, I must ask what spawned your Rod love? I like the guy too I feel he's been given a bad rep but man you're just all over that guy? What about him is so special to you?

My first exposer to Transformers for the original 1986 movie when I was 3 years old, I went to see it with my neighbor who was 6 and a huge fan of those crazy robots. Needless to say, Hot Rod was awesome, he protected a kid name Daniel and became the leader in the end. Clearly there is more to it today....... but that was what spawned it.....
