About 8-9 DOTM Ultimate Optimus Primes sighted at Target Morley earlier in the afternoon, $120 each.

Anyone know if MP HotRod is at TRU Cannington?

Also how is the quality compared to the Japanese release?

Quality is actually better as far as I have read... Takara one has better colours on the robot hands-down, but Hasbro fixed a weak rivet on the rotating leg panels (black in Takara, red in Hasbro) that tended to break easily. This was a crucial fix I reckon.

Also, Hasbro weapons and accessories have better paint apps, and you get Offshoot minicon. You don't get the trailer of course, but the figure is more Hot Rod than Rodimus Prime anyway.

does everyone have the issue of one of the inner arm plastics popping out when bending roddy's arms? The takara version has that little piece of plastic moulded/attached to the swivel joint of the arms, but the hasbro does not.

Both of the arm exhausts on mine are right sided so I'm taking it back tomorrow

Yeh, I have that too. Kind of annoying, but not a deal breaker. Assuming you are referring to the ones on the inside of his elbows.

Yep that'd be the issue. But yeah this roddy is hardly a play figure anyway.

Has anyone seen a commander Hatchet in their travels yet? He seems to be making appearences over east.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

Not yet, same old human Alliacnes as normal around morley

Did see some MP Roddies at Toys R us morley yesterday. About 6 on the shelf in the TF section if anyone is still hunting them down.

Had a laugh, as $80 Roddy is sitting next to $250 Ghost Starscream.


Oh yeh, forgot that I also saw the Darth Vader/Anakin ship thing that changes into the 4 modes, of which I can't rememerb their names. But it was the about leader sized one. One mode was Darth, one Anakin, one the imperial cruiser (?) and the rebel ship I guess. About $80 I think for that too.
