    I would not mind picking some of these up if they were available at a local store. Hmmm....

    Oh, I've seen those boxes before (some month ago) at a local toy shop :D  I saw the fire truck, and a red Lambo that looked pretty much like Sideswipe, but with some cool flame deco :)  I must say I nearly bought the Lambo one, but didn't. If I remember it was 14.99 too here (in Canada).

    But If I see that bus one, I'll probaby buy it! Not so long ago I though about that we never got a bus TF, and this one doesn't look half bad :)

    You should swivel the shoulder pads up Sound Blaster. I like this model. Better looking in robot mode than the other long-nose truck bot I have. I've seen a whole bunch of new models in stores here from the same company. There are hummers, porsches, bikes.

    EDIT: These figures actually fit the G1 bots nicely. They're bricks and as such they stick out when put besides other tfs.

    Yes they were. I think they were £4.99 each.

    I know Marc's is local to OH but what are the chances that other stores received different robots?

    curious ... just because they're made in China from a dodgy factory ... does die-cast mean lowgradeinferiorfullofLEAD die-cast?

    Wow, between the packaging (box with leftside window and rightside box art) and that they're made of Die-cast and how they look, it's almost like a lost G1 series. (ok not really but that's what I first thought when I saw them)

    Walgreens used to carry these robots about 6 years ago but so far the only place I've seen them is e-bay for anywhere from 10 to 20 dollars each.

    Saw those at some no-name toy store in a mall in Denton, TX. Same mall where I got my Fortress Minimus. Almost bought a couple, but was low on funds.
