Now all they have to do is release those in Australia, because my 256mb drive just doesn't hold enough por....errrr....data.

I wouldn't think it would hold a 10th of all your por....errrr....data.

I'd like to have a couple just to use for work. No more people stealing my USB drives then denying it!

Nice. With my job I'm always in need of more carry-on disc space. Now I just have to find some people to go in on this with me.

What corporations do to milk money out of devoted fans. But I am not complaining. :grin:

I would buy one ( as I am in need of one) provided that
a) its available in the USA
2) I can afford it!
My choice is

by the way!

Leonardo said he'd order 12 and give them to his most favouritest fellow Seibertronians.

'cause Leo's cool like that ... he's such a nice guy.

I'll be intrested when they transform.

FlashDrives are cheap enough. I never understod why some RealGears weren't stuffed with these LCD lights, an actual watch(yes I love that custom), or even clear lenses on LongView?

I know they'd cost more, cause why wouldn't Hasbro take advantage of that, but I'd pay for some Real RealGears.

That is just really cool!!!

You know, with all the useless junk that's been coming out with the movie merch and all that, this is actually a really good idea. I'm kinda stunned. Here's hoping my crew at CompUSA gets them eventually. I could always use extra storage memory for the Godbox.

The question is...would parents pay the extra money for a toy like that? Remember who the target market for the Real Gear is...they'll make a lot more off the parents buying for kids than they would for us buying something like that, I think...but I agree: it's a cool thought.

I realy was thinking it would be geared kinda the same way as MP SoundWave. But before someone at Hasbro stumbles overthis, and the dollar signs start flashing in their eyes...

Most of my department stores have these things in the checkout line with candy bars, batteries, hair rubberbands and stuff like that.

I know those are all low storage, but I'm just saying the tech is cheap enough where they can give us something novel without charging a real fortune.
