For the Netherlands, they're supposedly a shared exclusive between Bart Smit and Intertoys (which belong to the same parent company), but to my knowledge, there still haven't been any sightings yet.In the United Kingdom, they were found at Asda stores, but have never been listed on their website.The Legion 2-packs were originally found at retail in Hong Kong, where they have supposedly long since disappeared from the shelves.

An odd case is TFSource, which is identifying him as a "limited edition exclusive" despite the packaging photo depicting the general retail version seen on Amazon. Online retailers Robot Kingdom (Hong Kong), The Chosen Prime (United States) and Kapow Toys (United Kingdom) are also listing him, all of them having obtained their stock from Asia.For Finland, Prisma's website has a listing for Deluxe Hot Rod, but again it's a placeholder without any photos.Thus far, he hasn't been found in stores. Despite that, he's listed on the Walmart US website, and people who ordered him confirmed having received the "Autobots Unite" version, complete with "Walmart exclusive" sticker. For the United States, it seemed for a while as if he would never be released, especially after listings for a general retail version of Hot Rod (in "Premier Edition" packaging) were found in Toys"R"Us computers and on Amazon US.In the United Kingdom, he was found at Asda stores, and is also listed on their website.Deluxe Class Hot Rod was first found at retail in Taiwan, followed by sightings in Singapore and Hong Kong, all of them as non-exclusive general retail releases.
