I really want one of these, or two...

I really hope I'll be able to get one of these guys, I'm a huge Hot Rod fan.

Don't fret Sdcc is just around the corner.

"Too Hot"? I think "CHOSEN 1" would have been a better choice for the plate...

I like his license plate.

"Too Hot"

I know, but unfortunately I won't be attending, and I live in Canada, where Hasbrotoyshop doesn't ship... But there are a couple people who have offered to help me out if they still can.

I hope i can get one of these at cost and not have to pay huge collector hoarding prices!!!

Yah Me.

Here is a couple Hasbrotoyshop pics of Alt Roddy.

I actually like that scheme better than the BT/KP one. Does anyone know when HTS is going to "try" to offer them online?

I'm so sorry, I didn't remember your username! And I think you've changed your avatar since then... I had to look back in my inbox... How embarassing. I can't believe how bad my memory is, I can't remember 3 weeks ago... Sorry!

another Hot Rod toy that will nevr see the light of day here in the UK *sigh* my gf is from the US and I have people that could ship it, but could I use a UK credit card and get it shipped to a US address, thats if HTS even gets them and I find out in time. GAH!

Bah. Typical of Hasblo.


Screw you Hasbro.

If I get this, it'll be through either eBay or BBTS. I'm not able to travel to San Diego.

unfortunately, i need one to complete the alt's collection. the last few have really been so "fun" to find. thanks hasbro

Wow, the one alternator I like and I can't even get it.

What fun!

Must have it

When is SDCC and how does one who isn't going order one of these? I love the "TOO HOT" custom plate.

O. M. G. I wish I lived near San Diego.

Even though I have Mirage, this is one Alternator Im really excited about.

San Diego is very nice. I loved it for the day I got to see it. I was there for 13 weeks. But of those weeks I spent 99.5 percent of my time at MCRD.

Ehh. No thanks.

He looks great, but definitely goes against my anti repaint stance.

Besides, Mirage is the better of the two to use the mold.

It's funny that it's in the typical Alternator packaging. There are no markings on the package to indicate that this is a SDCC exclusive. I think this is going to be exactly like the Alternator Prime-

First available at SDCC for a markup. Then later released to the general public.

Best part of this guy is that HasbroToyShop will be selling him for a reasonable price after the convention

You mean "First available for the rip-off"

In any case, I'm second to that.

At least this is one exclusive I have no interest in getting.

Isnt a regular alternator like 20 bucks, this one is only 25 so I dont see that big of a problem if its an exclusive.

You're not the only one. This is just one of those lines that I just really want to have complete.

To me, exclusive means "not sold anywhere else". I think this is simply a debut. If this turns out to be the case, then I think it's false advertising.

If you want to pick one up for me, too (or send the fat kid back inside one more time), I'd so be willing to pay shipping plus some extra $$ for him...

I'd love to see a mass release of this one, but with the future of the Alt. line so iffy right now, being an Alt. completist means jumping at the chance to get him. Learned that from Swerve and Camshaft--thank goodness I acted on sight!

Dude, the going through the Hasbro line (if you can get in it) takes about 3 hours. You might want to step into one the Gaslamp's many over priced bars while you're waiting for the fat kid. And TFBuyer, the limit is two, so the fat kid can get them both in one trip!

Score! Let's find a fat kid!
