i picked up alot of mine at k-mart with that deal they had if you bought 20 bucks worth of movie toys you got it for free. i just bought voyager ratchet and returned him a couple times. and got them all for free.
i think they look good on my wall all in their packages.

Damn, there's a couple of bad jokes that I just can't bring myself to type after reading this post. All you others out there with the sick minds like myself know what I'm thinking.

I've got all of them up to now, and they are great - very adorable and really light up a room, and they're perfect for bringing to the office.

They've got alot of charm, but yeah, they are a bit on the pricey side (especially in Canada) - so if you don't want to pay too much, only get the sets you want

but I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting the Wal-Mart exclusive 5-pack. It's a great bargain, and you get an Optimus and a Megatron (with shiny finish no less), plus some other great exclusives. It makes a perfect "starter set", for barely 10$!!!

I don't see the appeal of them. They're like Minimates only not as fun and more expensive.

Robot Heroes are awesome. Combine 'em with the Marvel Heroes as well as Star Wars Heroes and you get a massive Chibi World.

Now when Robot Heroes starts pulling out an Armada Line, i'll go absolutely ape.

Certainly worth grabbing a set to see if you like them.

Yes... sadly... if I would have waited another week, I would have got this bargain.

I was stupid and, for the first time in my life as a Transformer fan, I was impatient. Don't make the same mistake I did. This set was worth the 30$ I paid, so it's definately worth the 10$ Wal-Mart is asking for it!

I personally think they're well worth the money.
I mean, $6 isn't that steep.
And when I picked up the 5 pk. @ Walmart, it rang up as $7 and some change.
I know I'm in the minority as far as collecting goes,
but until the animated toys come out,
Robot Heroes is the only line where I'm getting them all.
Actually, I most likely won't get the Beast Wars...

That way, if they make the Constructicons, I'll buy 2 of each, just so I can open a set.
Then if I really decide I want the Beast Wars set(s),
I'll just head to ebay.

Yeah, my favorite is B.B. vs. Soundwave (because of Soundwave).
Next would be Grimlock and Shockwave.
After that, probably Jazz/Thundercracker (who is really underrated).
I'm really not an Ultra Magnus fan, but you have to get Megatron.
And the Optimus vs. Unicron is a goodie, but I had to go to ebay to get that one.
Dude, just try and get them all.

Im not a fan of non-transforming Transformers.

Except for the Robot Heroes line. These guys are just plain awesome. The sculpting is excellent, they really do have a lot of character pumped into them.

The 5 pack is a very nice set, I have yet to remove mine from the packaging, as it just looks so damn good as it is.
Megatron vs. Ultra Magnus and Grimlock vs. Shockwave are my two favourite sets, but you really cannot go wrong with any of them.
Awesomesauce; Use it, you know you want to.

You cannot pass up the Ravage and Prime. Ravage is just so kitty cat cute...

Seriously.

Like people have said they are all cool, you really can't go wrong, just pick some favorite characters and buy 'em.

That Ravage is just plain awesome. He's so cute. Granted, he's got big ol' fangs and some ginormous missile launchers, but he's still the cutest of the bunch. I'm hoping they do a Robot Heroes Laserbeak at some point just so I can have an mega adorable bird to go with my mega adorable panther.

The Beast Wars Megatron should be awesome as well, though I was kinda bummed that the test shot from SDCC ( I think it was ) had the T-Rex head sculpted with an open mouth. It'd have been so much better if it were sculpted giving Megs big puppy dog eyes, like that one Beast Wars episode where Megs is petting it.
