Anyone a fan of the Brave line of transforming robots? I just bought two of the combiners and I like them so much I want to learn more about the line.

Google has almost nothing, but there must be fan sites or something for this series.

Any links to Brave sites, big or small, especially any with toy reviews would be a HUGE help.

Thanks in advance guys.

You've got my curiosity too. Can you post pictures?

The bots I bought make up one of build team gestalts from The King of Braves GaoGaiGar.

They bear striking resemblance to Fire Convoy of Car Robots.

Again, any help on where to look for a breakdown of the toy line would be great.

the link will take you to a small gallery, I bought the yellow and green bots. They were only $25 each, made by Takara.

I have found the blue one on ebay as well, but not the fire truck.

Because I know so little about the line, I have no idea what pricing is fair and what isnt. The ones I bought usually go for $45 in other ebay stores.

So is this an official (Japanese exclusive?) TF series or a totally different brand?

This is a different brand than TF, A joint venture between Takara and Sunrise Animation Studios(best known for Gundam) in Japan. It came out after the cancellation of Transformers Victory (last season of the japanese continuation of G1)

Some of the bots look really cool though, and would fit right in with any TF display. The build teams I bought are very RID in design.

Ah, the joy of having the links you supplied reposted ;;)

The Brave series can be considered a "cousin line" since they were by Takara and even had some TF molds in some lines (especially in Korea). The link Sid Burn gave is only part of this set of galleries:

Brave Saga History

Wikipedia, amazingly enough, has an article about it too. It doesn't have all series yet, but it's fairly complete:

Wikipedia's Brave series article (Remember to search for "Yuusha")

Last but not least, the last series, Yuusha-Oh GaoGaiGar has been licensed for release in the US. It's just subbed to my understanding and only 1 DVD has been released so far, but it's worth sniffing out.
