Manna: $2.50 sounds like a much better deal than what I'm contemplating! If you're talking about the figures here -- http://agesthreeandup.com/?p2=shopping/catalog.jsp&catalog_id=92 -- I'm seriously considering paying $7 apiece for them. They look cool in their own right, but I also kinda want to see if one of them could be a potential hand donor for Rescue Ratchet and his horrible movie claw things. Billie/Manna: Yes, I've heard good things about those Galaxy Defenders. In the case of a train, I wouldn't even care about a grey paint job -- as far as I'm concerned, he'd look more like the animation Astrotrain with that scheme than the white and blue Classics version! :) Jax: Dino-guns would make for cool transforming toys, I dare say!

They're made pretty good, though they lack a lot of detail or look. I've got Sonic Train from the Galaxy Defender,

I remember having lots of dinos as a kid, but none of them transformed into anything. I do remember picking up a T-rex once and going "pow, pow!" My sister was like, wtf? And I was like, "duh, it's a T-rex gun". She asked "what does it shoot?" and I soon answered "teeth, of course". So play went on, with "dino-guns".

I really like the train-bot -- I could totally go for a repaint of that thing in Astrotrain's colors. Manna: Sorry to make you wait for so long! And no, I never got a chance to fool with the knockoff Mugenbine sets -- I've only really gotten into transforming robots in the last year -- though I have seen some of the genuine articles during my eBay forays. Too bad I missed out on them, as they do look pretty neat! I missed out on those Power Rangers figures too, but one of these days I'll end up getting some transforming MMPR goodness. At present, the only MMPR figures I have are knockoff versions that are now oddly enough popping up in CVS's Christmas toy aisles. The ones I picked up came from NYC's Chinatown and have slightly different colors, but it's definitely them. Nice articulation for knockoffs, actually. :) And speaking of knockoffs and transforming robots, you can also find a humongous robot that transforms into a space shuttle at CVS. It's this guy: http://hometown.aol.com/tankorrpulverize/tfs7/gd_shuttle.html At $15 he's a bit pricey compared to the toys I normally buy (or at least compared to the ones I bought <i>before</i> my Transformers kick)... but goodness, the size of him! If I don't end up ordering one from somewhere else (I think I've seen it cheaper online, and with fixed shipping rates I might as well pad my orders as much as possible), I'll totally go for one. That's seriously the kind of thing that can make a kid's Christmas. It's HUGE! Billie: Thanks for the links!

I was just thinking to myself, "I think today I'm finally going to pester him about the bootleg toy cliffhanger thing." You're psychic. Did you ever get a chance to snag any of the KO Machine Robo Mugenbine figures when they were out in force? Those things are kinda fun, like a hybrid of Lego and Go-Bots. (On a more legit note, the first three sets of MMPR: Op-Overdrive mini-vehicles are loads of fun to mess with, and I'm not even a fan of the show. [In English, anyway] They've got a semi-permanent spot on my desktop where I can pick apart and reassemble the different combined bots. Sadly for the latter sets, the fire engine and battle fleet, they switched to a different jointing system so you can't combine those up with the original ones.) Wow.

Let me know if you decide to order one -- perhaps you could even take photos and do a guest review. ;) Billie: Are these (some of) the robots of which you speak? http://members.aol.com/tankorrpulverize/tfs7/form_changers.html These do look pretty good -- I particularly like the fire truck for its Prime-like appearance. And I believe I've seen the versions with the yellow sword on eBay under the off-brand "Space Warriors" line. I don't know how affordable they will be today, but hopefully I will be able to acquire some someday without going completely broke! ;) Tetsu: An iron deinonychus would indeed rock!
