Transformers Animated Valentine's Day Cards Found At Retail

Found these in the Orem, Utah Toy's R Us. I didn't buy any, and the price pic I took was blurry, but they are priced at $2.99

Character art that is slapped on everything marketable is definitely my idea of exciting.

there's also a temp tattoo version. I saw them at work.

I dare somebody give one of those to their girlfriend/wife.

Nothing says "I love you" like goofy cartoon robots that turn into cars.

And by "Just around the corner" we mean "A month and a half away."

...at least we haven't seen the Transformers Easter Licensed Merchandise yet.

Americans send out 32 Valentines Cards O_o
In the UK we send like, one

Aww, just a generic message on each one? I was hoping for attempted character-specific Valentine greetings, as with the brilliantly inappropriate Movie Valentine cards someone posted up here last year. Whether it was Optimus Prime phoning it in with "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings, Valentine!", or Megatron's somewhat frightening "I am the GREATEST Valentine in the UNIVERSE!", each one was a one-way ticket to a lonely but hilarious Valentine's Day. Shame that the Animated ones couldn't put in the same effort...

Pack of 32?

No Lugnut card?! Heresy!

Okay, well...for those in the UK; this might not be a common practice across the pond, but in most American elementary schools it's the norm for classmates to exchange valentines with pretty much everyone in their class (and their friends in other classes.) So yeah, you want a pack of multiple gaudy picture valentines so you have enough to go around. It's one of the few largely secular holidays they can get away with these days I suppose.

When I was a kid, we had the practice, but the licensed valentines weren't quite as overwhelming as they are today. Now it's all just character merchandising up and down the aisles; you get a bunch of business-card sized pieces of paper with some random cartoon character printed on them...uh..okay. I guess it makes about as much sense as anything else involved.

..now get off my lawn.

What little girl wouldnt want a robot valentine from an awkward little boy?? I may get these to exchange with my wife.

Cool. I got last year's Movie cards(I don't think I got the foil ones though) and the 3D Movie Cards. If I see any, I'll probably pick them up.

The lenitcular cards seem at least to try.

"Dear Valentine, I want to slag you like Megatron did Starscream, over and over again."

i saw them at a meijer yesterday for 3.00

Ah I see. Well it makes slightly more sense to me now

I laughed myself stupid reading that, then the metal images almost killed me. Damn fandom ruining my childhood innocence.

Still, I'm so buying these. I hope they're just dumb-corny. ^_^

"You and me, Valentine - Together, we'll be GLORIOUS!!!"

Ooh, ooh, Blitzwing. "Dear Valentine - I'm CRAZY for you! AHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"

Me too although I kninda guessed it would be something like that

All the cool stuff goes into Utah.

This makes me think of last year's Lil Formers.

Astrotrain to Arcee: "I choo-choo-choose you!"

Rodimus to Arcee: "You light my darkest hour." (with a matrix-shaped card)
