The Last Knight collection proved to be hard to complete, due to some figures that became really hard to find in stores like Deluxe Cogman or Deluxe Hot Rod among others.
The Last Knight Legion Hot Rod, announced as a Walmart exclusive and part of the “Autobots Unite” sub-line, was never seen at stores and was available only via Walmart’s online store. Today, thanks to 2005 Boards member Hotconvoy found the elusive Hot Rod at Ross in Littleton, Colorado for only $2.99.
This is our very first brick and mortar retail sighting in the US (the toy has only been spotted at Chilean retail before). While the toy finally surfaced at Ross stores, the packaging features the “Autobots Unite” logo and a Walmart exclusive sticker.
Time to dash to your local Ross to try to finally grab this toy into your collections.

Ordering him and not having to drive around looking all over creation is even better!

$2.99 is still better

Legion Hot Rod was down to $4.77 range on Walmart.com last year.

Spotted this yesterday in Houston but ignored it.

$2.99? wow! That how much Legion figure should be by default.
And how much would he have been non-discounted? $10?
Sticking with TLK Hot Rods; the Gloucester Asda had, by rough count, 18 of the Deluxe figure and they were the only TF toy in there.
I didn\'t take note of the price but i believe they were on the discount/clearence shelf.

Dude trust me there was deluxe hot rod in my store, they had to come from somewhere.

This thread is about the Legion class figure. Plenty of people have seen the Deluxe at Ross and Ollie's. I don't think anyone else ever saw the Deluxe at Walmart, though – you're sure it wasn't the Flip & Change one?

Good Lord, somebody could make an entire Insecticon swarm with those Skrapnels!

Well when the TLK legions had a retail price of $8, did anyone expect them to sell?
At least the Bumblebee Movie ones are back at $4.

I bought a TLK Legion Hot Rod at Walmart before. It never rang up so had to show a price on their website. Thankfully it was a reduced price at the time. Must have been a return cause only Walmart online had these and the deluxe version.

And yet, the Legion Hotrod toy is still shelf-warming in every ToysRUs here in Hong Kong… 15 months after its release in June 2017 (when I bought it at the midnight release of those exclusive toys).

Hmm? No. The Chilean release is still in "Autobots Unite" packaging (you can tell from the red name insert), the "Autobots Unite" logo is just covered up by the finger in the sightings photo (and for the second packaging in the back, it's covered up by the packaging in the front).
The non-"Autobots Unite" packaging would have a black name insert, and unlike the general retail Deluxe Hot Rod who came out in China, I don't think general retail Legion Hot Rod has been released anywhere.
Here's a comparison: "Autobots Unite" left, general retail right:

ok?

What I'm saying is it's okay if there's stuff you or I don't like on shelves.
I'm not really a fan of TLK Hot Rod's design, so I probably wouldn't buy his Legion toy, but if someone was waiting for this toy then good for them.

I found Legion Hound at Ross for $4 and bought it for my buddies kid before I knew it was rare. Got Deluxe Cogman there a week or so later for $7.99. I\'ve seen Legion Hot Rod at ross before but haven\'t picked him up since I didn\'t like the design.

Yes my walmart had the deluxe hot rod back in 2017 November I believe and I found 3 at Ollies.
