Mine does have a bit of an issue with the left foot, the bit of yellow plastic on the inside is misaligned so the foot doesn't want to fold out and click into place, but it doesn't seem to effect his standing. Also, TFWiki calls the formerly chromed parts "flat white", but they're more of a slightly metallic light gray.
I really love this figure, it looks great! I'm really impressed by how perfectly they matched the orange and magenta paint and plastic. I've always been the type of person who intentionally left off the majority of stickers on my reissues to make them look more like the cartoon models so this line is ideal for me.

Do both the lower legs lock in for robot mode?
Yep. At first I thought they weren't locking, but realized I just had to pull a little harder and they clicked into place nicely.

I'm just going by what I see on the shelves. My Wal-Mart is jampacked with G1 Starscreams, Studio series voyagers and the new Earthspark stuff. There's literally no empty spaces, but it's all stuff I don't want. (Yes, I know others might want them.) I guess they'll have to take some of that out to make room for Hot Rod, though the last time I was there I didn't see a tag for him anywhere either.Emerje wrote:Rodimus Prime wrote:Last I checked my Wal-Mart had 20 Starscreams on the shelf.

Are they being sold in the same spot? They aren't the same size boxes. Starscream's is tall and wide while Hot Rod's is slightly deeper.

You always say your walmart's got nothing and here I see a nice new toyAnd one I havent seen at my retailers yet.
By the way, est-ce que ton élécticité est revenu? For those not in the know, there was a big ice storm that cut off power to people in my area (and Kanrabat's), which is why I havent posted much lately.
