I see him everywhere! I remember a friend had one back in the day, he is in eBay lots, single sales, I saw him at the toy show I went to this weekend at 3 dif vendors. He's prolly even on my Facebook friends list.

I think that's probably true. I've personally got two in my own collection. However, I recently went to collect my son from his local playgroup, and guess what he was playing with when I arrived?

Yeah, you've guessed it, he was playing with a battered old Topspin with a dodgy mechanism.

Funny I never see twin twist.

I owned him. Might still have him kicking around somewhere...

I'll be the odd one out here, I've never even seen one of the jumpstarters in anything other than pictures.

I think Stalker is the number 1 (at least in Europe) - I personally had 3 of him at one time, from which I still got 2.

I had Topspin and a KO version, but never Twin Twist. Stalker I found in a doctor's surgery toybox a few years ago.

Somehow I wound up with two Topspins, but only one Twin Twist. The first Topspin I got was also the first time I ever saw a rubsign. I had no idea what it was at first, just some black symbol shaped thing on his foot. Then I touched it.

It's in the wiki, it must be true!

Plus, I just picked up Topspin and Twintwist at a yard sale before Halloween for $5 for the pair. Both still work, too! They are tough little Autobots. No wonder their Wreckers!

I had two Topspins as a child. They were everywhere!

I never had Topspin, but I did used to have Twin Twist.

I don't have Topspin but I do have Twin Twist. I remember choosing him from the Transformers shelves but I can't remember if Topspin was there as well.
