Pardon me?

Are you asking if a Transformers spoon and/or a Transformers fishing lure would make good Transformers merchandise?

Are you asking if you making these items yourself is a good idea?

Did you really just say, "a transformers fishing lure"? This is utterly discombobulating!

I want a Zippo lighter with a Decepticon logo. It'll never happen because A) It's not politically correct, B) those Stand jerks would pitch a fit, and C) Hasbro hates us.

A spoon is a kind of lure....
Do you really want fish gunk all over your symbol...
I guess if you use that of the opposing faction...
Hot rod and kup lures for squid fishing?
Is there a such thing as squid fishing?

...not a fisherman...

Someone would buy the fishing lure. Hell, if I found it cheap, I would buy it. But I catch more trees than fish and I would be pissed if I lost a cool lure. So I stick to the cheap stuff.

I have seen Zippos w/the Decepticon logo on them. Mostly at Flea Markets. I don't know if they come plain and someone paints them or something else...

However, I now have an idea, Why don't you get a plain Zippo and put a Decepticon sticker on it. Stickers are easy to find. Other than that if you have a "Things Remembered" Store in your local mall, they may be able to engrave the symbol for you. I know they engrave words, but am not sure about symbols.

Man those are cool! I'm thinking about bidding on them actually Burn. And DJ Drew's idea isn't bad either failing that. :grin:

So they don't wash spoons after each use where you live?

what part of "spoons ARE lures" don't you...
unless yer just kidding around...
and there would be some satisfaction is having a fish going after the opposing faction's logo...
what if you bought some repro stickers and some kind of plastics kit and some plain metal spoon (lures) so you could seal the sticker on under clear plastic...

a fish and a spoon

Does anyone know why they're called spoons anyway?

It's amazing what you learn on TF message boards!
