    This display was put up at Family Mart here just today (Taiwan). The display is full of Transformers merchandise, most of which come with some kind of candy.

    The 3rd picture [statue 1] shows statuettes of Optimus and Bumblebee. They come with Airwaves gum.

    4th picture [statue 3] is a smaller, unpainted statue that comes with a tin in Transformers deco, with some sort of cake inside side.

    5th picture [statue+eggs] has candy in eggs, and mini statues in the boxes.

    Pictures 6 to 9 [key1 to key4] shows a key end/cover to Autobot symbol up your keys. Comes with a notepad or a plastic folder, and Airwaves gum or Skittles.

    10th picture [candy] has some sort of soft candy in cool Grimlock or Optimus packaging (no BB -- weird!)

    11, 12 ,13 [box 1 to box 3] are embossed tins, with something (?) inside.

    Picture 14 is a box of Oreo that comes with stickers and an entry draw ticket for this http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transformers-movie-discussion/989172-another-aoe-contest-oreo.html contest I posted about before.

    The last 6 photos are of plastic cups that come with Skittles, Airwaves gum, or some other kind of gum I don't recognize. These cups are pretty cool and are of a super shine, reflective, metallic finish. Took pics of both sides of the Bumblebee cup, Optimus cup, and Grimlock + Optimus cup.

    Hope it's interesting enough to post up here for a look. I thought it was pretty cool.

    I must have those cups in my life!
    Get rid of the crappy 7-11 cowboys and aliens cups.

    Cool. I wonder if the Family Marts in Japan are doing this too. My son would love this!

    It's times like this that I wish I could speak Taiwanese with my wife's family in Taiwan.

    Here's a pic of what's inside one of those little boxes (pictured above with the eggs).
