I sense sarcasm, but you get my point, there are way better things to choke on then model kit pieces.

True enough, but there's a problem. Parents will see these and think "Oh, there's a toy robot in there, I should buy that for my child." Or "My offspring is brilliant, such a simple model wiould be easy for him/her!"

And then little davey dumb@ss swallows a torso piece and chokes to death because his parents overestimate.
Somehow, Lego-type toys manage to induce a moment of clarity in parents.

Thats why they can print the words "model kit - contains small pieces, assembly required" Really, when parents see the word assembly required on a toy box, it goes back on the shelf unless their kid have built one before. They're trying to eliminate the possibility that their kid ends up bugging them to fix it.

Although legos is well-established enough so parents know they are buying a building-block set. I NEVER get Legos by accident as a present, although i rather legos then the books and thumbdrives i keep getting.

The chocolate's actually pretty good, but the toys inside have gone worse over the years. Now even jigsaws made ofpaper pass as a "gift".

Dude yes! I have to get these. Amazing!

Well all i can say is these guys looks really cool ,i always like smaller versions of figures .

I'm hoping someone can help me, I assembled Victory Lio today and noticed that there weren't any instructions to combine him with Star Saber. I checked the boxes for Rodimus and Inferno and they didn't have it. Do I have to look online for them or does my box have a printing error?

There are no instructions on the box. I had to look at a picture online but I already had an idea since I have the original figures.

Really? Wow. I hate to think this but maybe he's not really meant to combine with Star Saber at all. I have the original toys and the Robotmasters but I'm just concerned about breaking it.

Pretty sure they're meant to combine. I did it with mine. There was a slight worry of stress marks on the clips used to connect Victory Leo to Star Saber's feet, but so far so good. Victory Leo seems clearly designed to connect. Star Saber is less apparent just to look at him, but it works.

This video provides instructions on combining them .

We're constatly seeing Victory Leo and Starsaber in some form... How about a reissue?

That would be amazing...and insanely expensive!

Well it took me long enough but I've got them together. Do you think you're meant to take the Star Saber's feet off to properly attach the giant boots?
