Here are my thoughts on the carabiners: I plan to display the red and yellow ones with Classics Bumblebee. You could pretend that the two devices work together wirelessly, and BB uses them to hack into satellites to do some orbital surveillance, gain information, etc. Used together, BB basically sets up a communications and surveillance field base. Almost nothing could sneak up on BB with these things on active alert. :grin:

And if you put the red listening device on wheels, it looks like BB could even tow it behind him instead of his ski trailer.

Too bad it doesn't have wheels. #-o

I quite like the look of the keychains. If i remove the chains i think they will look ok sat atop my TV.

Can't see myself picking up the carabiners though. Having said that, i usually find myself picking up any crap with 'Transformers' scrawled across it.

Kids spy toys are incredibly popular. I worked in a museum store that sold them and they sell like sugar-coated hotcakes dipped in chocolate. I'm surprised that every movie doesn't have them in their toy line. If the cost of a money printing lisence is not entirely making sense, then I think that we all know what side we'd come down on.
Besides this crap's been around forever. Who else remembers the Autobot symbol watch that opened when you pushed it's inexplicably blue chin?

I like the key chains. The least I'll have to spend if I like this movie keeps going down and down.
"Key Chains" are just tiny toys for collectors with limited space.

So no one knows?

I think they're for us so that we can pretend that we're bots :???:

You get that alot with movie toys, you know, "The Live The Adventure.." stuff. Go to the toy store, you can leave looking just like Captain Jack Sparrow down to the finest detail. They do this all the time.

Between the voice changer, blaster and these, we should all be looking pretty dam silly by the end of summer :-?

I can hardly wait :grin:

Alright, so I'm not the only one doing that then.
