Several members of our 2005 Boards are reporting spotting these cool collectible dog tags at Target stores. These are produced by Topps cards and are presumably what are being released for the US market in the place of the ones by Popbox collectibles that we reported on earlier this week. There are 24 different styles, plus rare rainbow foil chase tags. They come blindpacked so you might have to pick up a few packs to get the tag of the character you want, but at only $2.99 a pack, you can afford a couple of extras.

The most popular masterpiece figure, it raised the bar for Transformers toys, and is arguably the best Transformer ever made.

In an interview with the USA Today and mirrored on his own site, Michael Bay talks about the challenges of filming in Egypt, at the pyramids and the ruins of Petra. Naturally such a once in a lifetime event meant even the crew were awestruck (John Turturro is said to have had a tear in his eye at one point), so Michael Bay had to remind everyone they were there to shoot a movie! Check out the full article by clicking on the link above.

We have read plenty of behind the scenes articles for Revenge of the Fallen, so here is one with a difference - Air Education and Training Command has posted an interview with a team of Altus Airmen who were brought in to work on Revenge of the Fallen, to look after the Air Force's C-17 Globemaster III aircraft that were featured prominently in the new film - but they soon ended up doing far more than just looking after their equipment. Read the full article for a very interesting and unique take on what went on behind the scenes of Revenge of the Fallen.

Bad news for those awaiting the Transformers: Art of the Movies art book. We have received word by way of 2005 Boards member Cuillere that this book is "postponed indefinitely" following an inquiry to the publisher, Titan Books. However Simon Furman, who looked after the writing chores, states in a post on his blog here that the book is "awaiting various approvals" and that "it is hoped we can get it out for later this year".
We will update with more information on this item as and when it becomes available.

2005 Boards member ChaoCatcher has spotted this pair of new Robot Heroes listings on Amazon.com. These listings, Shanghai Shootout and Desert Devastation will continue the Robot Heroes scenes series, and Desert Devastation will most likely be the set that will include the Robot Heroes Devastator figure we saw some time ago (pictured at left).
As always stay tuned for more information.

Their range of collectible items includes iron-on patches, collectible character coins, dog tags, and a variety of different key chains in different styles including character key chains, insignia danglers, and character bust key chains. Their license currently only covers Europe and Asia and so these items will only be available in those regions, with Asia receiving the carded items as shown, and Europe receiving blind-packed releases in foil bags.
