i just picked up a ROTF press box off of ebay it was quite expensive at £1! and i was wondering if anyone had any info on it or idea of the value the contents includes

A lenticular wall clock Autobot / Decepticon.
A sealed desert tracker ratchet although it seems to be a slight duller green from any ratchet ive seen and although it is still sealed the instruction placement is strange
A torch, which comes with a selection of inserts - Autobot symbol, etc.
A Deception symbol containing a USB memory stick that comes in a pretty neat little box
A Transformers bouncy ball
A small, 'bill-sized' poster for the movie.
A temporary tattoo set.

the links below are to pictures of the item and are a mix of the ebay listing pictures and my own (mine are the crappy blurry ones lol)

Pretty nifty. I may need to look for one of these. Based on the pics, that looks like normal DT Ratchet. It's basically '07 Ratchet caked in mud.

Where and when was this released? The All-Spark shaped box is pretty niffty.

the guy i bought it from said it was only given to members of the press in the uk
and also the box folds out in to huge cardboard poster

Wow, it's a very cool collection of paraphernalia plus a Ratchet figure.

I see, that makes this a pretty unique item indeed. Am I the only that find giving presses a toy funny?

Well, swag is swag and it makes sense to give away Transformers for a Transformers press package.

Yea, but unless all the Transformers inside were different (blind box), it would make more sense to me that they give out Prime or Meg or The Fallen.

You see, Hasbro IS making sense. Perfect sense. Ratchet isn't so popular so this is how they're getting rid of inventory.

Have a Ratchet, folks!

Really, we don't want it.

Poor Ratchet.

They could've repainted Ratchet, what they should've given out was Wheelie. Here have a RC Car, it even humps Megan Fox in the movie.

Ratchet deserves a decent repaint. The mold has some nifty details.

Poor Ratchet got even less screen time in RotF. Maybe he needs to switch up tactics. Let's hear it for a Florence Nightingale redeco and retooling for Voyager Ratchet.

Medic!

Maybe if Bay didn't make all the Autobots so invincible and actually gets hurt or damaged like in G1 cartoon, Ratchet would've gotten more screentime.
