    Did anyone else see these other candy toys that BBTS listed yesterday?

    Vintage G1 Transformer Mini Model Kit with Candy - Random Model Kit $11.99: Vintage G1 Transformer Mini Model Kit with Candy - Random Model Kit - Transformers Model Kits Model Kits at BigBadToyStore
    Vintage G1 Transformer Mini Model Kit with Candy - Case of 24 $199.99: Vintage G1 Transformer Mini Model Kit with Candy - Case of 24 - Transformers Model Kits Model Kits at BigBadToyStore

    The descriptions are kind of funny because they instruct to not eat the candy due to how old they are. I did some searching online and I see virtually nothing mentioning these. What I did find was a reference to some model kits that were sold a long time ago and included Convoy, Starscream, Sideswipe and Prowl (which matches these) but were sold in "egg" packaging like what comes out of vending machines.

    Apparently there have been a ton of Kabaya model kits made over the years. Way more than I had any clue about before investigating.

    Does anyone know more about these?

    They came out in the 80s, not sure what 20+ year old candy will do to your system:D 

    Don't have a full list of the range of colors these were made in, but if any of you guys just want a specific character.
    Use the number found at the bottom of the box, shown in the picture. 09=Prowl, 22=Starscream, 04=Sideswipe, 00=Prime

    Someone should tell BBTS that. That way they can also sell individual characters or sets of 4, and I'd be much more inclined to buy that since I'd then know what I would be getting.

    lol at the description on the item.

    "Please Note: The contents of each box are random, there are 4 different mini TF model kits that each come in a variety of colors. The candy inside each box is very old, please do not eat. "

    I'm guessing they are long gone now? I tried looking on the site, but either I failed at searching (it's a confusing site, somewhat) or they are out. I want that old Kabaya Prime!

    Can you please provide pics. I would like to see it these are worth the money. Plus when you said 4, what is the 4th figure.

    Thanks :)

    You can see all 4 in the BBTS link: Prime, Starscream, Prowl and Sideswipe. :) 

    I'm tempted on these, but the only one I really want is Prime and my luck with blind-boxed toys is horrendous.

    gotta dig em out/find em. They aren't worth too much, they're partformers, but you probably figured that.
