    this is when crossovers go too far... we don't need a subline for crossovers. what's the point? how well do they expect this stuff to sell? this isn't fan rage, this is legit curiosity.

    Combining my favorite part of Transformers (where they don't transform) and my favorite part of Jenga (having only three blocks). /Sarcasm
    What are you supposed to do with these??

    Little kids will love these. You can combine the sets and make your own structures and whatnot to knock down, it's fun. Remember "fun", guys?

    I've been showing my 6yo all the clips and toy pics as they've come out, and he's beyond eager. He has $50 in b-day money to spend, this will make his day.

    Those of you cursing the existence of these toys would do well to remember that these are for children and you dont have to buy them, or even like them. Your whining about how they are keeping "good stuff" from being made only wastes forum space. There are 3 boys in my extended family that are just at the right age for this, and we are going to buy the living hell out of them.

    Any chance these are booster sets and a larger one is on the way?

    They've done larger sets before (a pirate ship and a Death Star).

    [edit]
    Google answered my question. Yes, there is a larger set on the way but I'm not sure if the others could be used as booster kits (blocks are shaped differently).

    Makes more sense as booster sets rather than a standalone thing. With that in mind, I could pick these up for my classroom...

    Also available at walmart.com. I got the Optimus Prime Jenga set a while ago, but (likely justifiably), no one seemed to care. :)

    Nope, I haven't seen them. All the listings for the individual figures have been yanked from the Walmart website, as well. :(
