I noticed it a few days ago on ebay , the box is a little worse for wear but the inards were said to be in great shape. I was expecting a few people to bid on it and watched it right down to closing but managed to win it for $30.00 thats with S&H. Its in the mail and on its way to me. Honestly i would have expected Seibertron.com to bid on it to take some pics. But noone bid on it except me. strange isnt it. Well anyway here is the link to the pics of the item. check it out. Ill be posting links to the pics as soon as i have the item :) i will also do some high res scans of each piece in my scanner and put them in a zip file to download. (In such a case as anyone wants to make htier own little fort, or mass produce it lol)

Excuse me for saying this, but it looks like something randomly assembled to piggyback on the Transformers' success :lol:

Seriously though, nice find, I never even knew that existed, just the trainset and racetrack.

Actually, looks like something that was originally part of a different line (like Voltron / GoLion, perhaps) that was rebranded with an Autobot symbol, to me...

I think if it had been made for the TF line it might have resembled something from the cartoon, or at least looked like it was supposed to be made of metal.

Yeah, it definitely has a "Castle of Lions" look to it, aka Voltron / GoLion like I said. I'd put that theory as almost certain.

Yeah, I had this too. I remember it being pretty lousy even though the box makes it look great. Maybe, being a kid, I was doing it wrong. Entirely possible, considering I can fail at the most menial tasks in adult land sometimes. Heh. I have a friend who just got this at the Canadian Joe convention too.
