The Energon Pub

We have just learned about the latest installment of Transformers merchandising. TFW2005 has just received an image of a Transformers Lite Brite Pattern set with 50 pegs. The set looks like comes with two patterns, a G1 Sideswipe and G1 Decepticon Symbol. The packaging is also very similar to the Transformers Classics style. View the image for yourself by clicking here.

O.M.F.G!



Who the hell is going to buy these?
other than for 'Boston' jokes.

"Who the hell is going to buy these?"


I believe we still call them... ...children.

WOW!!!! Transformers + LiteBrite = 80's Heaven!! My kids are going to lose there minds with this!

Interesting... a piece of fairly random TF merchandise that's branded with the Classics packaging design rather than the movie. I was going to comment on the picture of G1 Sideswipe - *everyone* seems to use pics of the G1 designs when they're actually referencing movie stuff - but then realised the whole thing was in the Classics style.

I'm quite surprised by that TBH, since Classics is apparently just a filler toyline before the movie stuff hits and I expected all the tie-in merchandise to be movie-based.

D-Con symbol FTW!

I'll be getting one to put with my collection.

they still make them? i guess you do learn somthing evrey day.

Damn now I need a light brite, I could use my daughter wanting one as an excuse

For the hell of it I will buy one

I am also suprised at the packaging. Like you I thought they would try to tie everything to the movie.

This just serves to remind me of how I used to mix up the Lite Brite song.

"Lite Brite! Lite Brite! Knights of the Magical Light!"

Cool! I just need to find my light bright!

hehe i expected pokemon, or dragonballz to hit into lightbrite stage first not transformers next thing they might want to make transforers legos i like it for childern but as a collector i do not to me it seems liike every toy company is trying to a transfromers toy because of this film no matter hoe=w bad the toy looks or operates

Didn't they have Transformer legos already, though they were based off the Armada line?

Yes they did. I am getting an Armada Starscream BTR Set soon. I htink it's cool. It's not lego lego...a sort of knockoff brand or some slag.

I may be showing my age here, but remember when Lite Brites and Legos were made for children to use their IMAGINATION? Damn. It's almost like having a puzzle with numbered pieces.

Lite Brites had patterns even when they first came out.

Cool that they have G1 designs, but I don't think I'll be buying a lite brite for this.
BTW they did do lite brite sets for Armada and energon I believe.

Merchandizing has no shame!

I still have mine from the late 70's ... I know my kid will get a kick out of this.

No thanks.. I'll steer clear from these.

I found my G1 set of lite brite pages a few months ago in the basement. Not sure I want to use them, though...

You are correct.

Yeah, I remember mine coming with Snoopy. Those were the days!

OK, this is getting silly now, lol

That's so wrong!
