Hat tip goes out to TFW2005 boards members Zidane56uk and Gingerchris for linking us to a selection of very neat Paladone licensed Transformers products. Including on Paladone’s web store are several cool oddities that include Transformers coffee mugs, key chains, house keys, notebooks, and more. There’s even a Bumblebee and Optimus Prime themed stress relief ball if you need to relax a little bit.
It’s worth checking out, so make the jump and discuss the products in the forum thread!

The local branch of Argos near me has had this light in for 2 or 3 weeks now.

Cool. I could use a night light

I love this kind of stuff. I may want to get one of those squishy Prime or Bee's.

Yeah, Paladone's site doesn't seem to actually be an online store unfortunately, at least as far as I could tell either. It looks like it's just the company showing products for other companies to buy to stock in their stores. It might be worth a try contacting them for information on if they sell individual items, or at least to perhaps get a list of stores that are currently stocking their products. I see they have a US branch as well.
Apart from that, a search of eBay for TF Paladone products does yield a few finds for actual sale.
I got my few bits from here:
Gifted Store – Buy great gift ideas for men, women and children.
But they don't seem to have an online shop either, just the physical brick and mortar store and the website/Facebook to advertise it.
I guess it's just a case of trawling the places that would usually sell novelty and gifty items.
Additional:
Amazon UK definitely has some (if not all) of these items:
Amazon.co.uk: paladone transformers
Even the lamp mentioned in the first post of this thread can be found £5 cheaper than Argos and with free UK shipping:

Hope that helps some.

The stress relief ball should be Starscream and/or Waspinator

I've seen the little minifigs at TRU(bought the movie and G1 sets), but I've never seen any of this other stuff.
Razerwire
Where can we buy these?
TFPrime
yeah but–how do you actually go about buying this stuff? I don't see any options to purchase?
Smashs
This, plus the notebook(for display), and the mug.
Razerwire
I want that light, ear phone splitter keychain, and key covers.
Matty
Perfect write up Thanks guys!

Yeah, it's been kicking about since at least a few weeks before the recent new catalogue launch. Some branches had them out on the shelves. I think I also saw one in 'Gifted' in Norwich last month.
It's part of a new range of Paladone TF products.

You can use the zoom feature on the site for a closer look at the products and boxes. I like how some of the boxes and products feature (mostly) various Marvel G1 TF comic artwork of Optimus Prime.
My sister recently bought me the Autobot logo-shaped mug (should've been made in red instead of black) and one of the G1 five-packs of the 30th Anniversary MiniFigs (also apparently imported by Paladone as they have their sticker on the back of the packs) from Gifted. They had pretty much all the products shown, plus a few more, which I reported in the UK Sightings Thread a short while back.
I want a Bumblebee stress squishy. He looks almost dead-eyed and evil.
Hmm… maybe I should've made a separate news thread about this…
