Despite this, the packaging was not identical to the previous U.S. Unlike previous UK releases of Commemorative Series figures, the packaging for this batch was no longer multilingual, but in English only. In 2006, three years after the US release and long after the Commemorative Series had been discontinued by Toys"R"Us in America, Red Alert and several other figures were released as Toys"R"Us exclusives in the United Kingdom. In 2003, Hasbro released a reissue of the original Red Alert toy as part their Toys"R"Us exclusive Commemorative Series IV that was available in the United States, Canada and Australia.
Red Alert's toy has been reissued several times each reissue is listed separately below. The Hasbro release disabled the launcher's spring-loaded missile-firing mechanism, but it was reinstated for Takara's release of the toy. He comes with a hand-held particle beam rifle, and a rocket launcher that clips onto his shoulder. Rather than a police car like the original figure, Red Alert's new paint job recasts him as a fire chief's car-a rather dubious disguise, all told, Lamborghinis not exactly being affordable vehicles for fire departments to use. Red Alert is a redeco of the Diaclone "New Countach LP500S Police Car", which was itself a retool of the original Diaclone "New Countach LP500S" that added roof lights to the figure's Lamborghini alternate mode.
