No, these are Japanese releases.
Hot Rod was released in the UK some time ago.

Maybe Hotrod.com?

For a second, I was scared to check out that site.

Guys, Hot Rod was called Hot Rodimus in Japan all the way back in G1. I thought that was common knowledge...

Also, "Henkei" means "transform", it's not a perverted word at all, unlike a similar sounding word

I'm well aware.

However, I'd be remiss if I did not point out that hentai is all about transfromations as well.

Oh boy can't wait for the Takara Classics. I've refrained from buying anymore overpriced Hasbro Classics till Takara comes along.

The NHRA perhaps?

Actually, now that I think about it, I believe that's a pretty standard name that's thrown around among Hot Wheels for obvious reasons. Could be wrong, but I do believe I remember looking for some for my son, who's crazy about Hot Wheels (& Transformers, I might add) & seeing one called Hot Rod.

hey now, i thought hot rodimus sounded like a swanky persian stripper joint

They can call him whatever they want if they'll give the toy some gray lower legs. Would that be so hard? Why must all the Hot Rod/Rodimus toys have red lower legs?

you think Hasbro's overpriced? wait till you see the release quotations for the Takara versions.

Hasbro is released worldwide, and costs are theoretically kept low by the amount of distribution it gets (more distributed toys = more consumers = more profits, in a simplified form of logic).

but Takara is released commercially only in Japan. other countries (like yours and mine, for example) get these releases only thru: (1) someone who bought it locally from Japan, (2) online stores and forums, (3) local hobby shops who import these toys, (4) eBay and other auction sites.

looking at any of those choices, it's still going to have some form of added expense, that's why it's not gonna get any cheaper.

Well the store I always buy from is going to sell them at a few dollars above retail price that's all. Classics Hasbro is pricey because its hard to find them nowadays here. I'll wait for Takara..
