I saw that set at TRU and Target on the 2nd

Those actually remind me of Karate Fighters from the 90s.

Yeah, more like karate fighters. My local TRU has had them since the second.

bert: adjective.

derived from bertie o'neill's fish and chip shop in derry, famous for it's rotten chips..... or fries i suppose for you american brothers (but at two in the drunken morning, who cares?).

that said..... those robot fighters are bert.

Bert - I like that.

Nothing like rock em sock em robots.

Sorry guys. I guess I'm too old to know Karate Fighters. Rockem Sockem is the only comparison that I knew.

Same as the pinball game.

In some wharehouse the must have an endless suply of these just waiting to be refurbished into that summers next big thing.

Amazon's late, I've seen that at my local Target store.

Same here. This is old news. Both my TRU and Target stores (several of them) had these on the 2nd. I almost picked up a set but didn't quite yet.

I always thought these were a great idea.

Then you should have reported it.

For many people, these are the first images that we have seen of them.

I never thought of reporting it, since I had seen it online before then, but not in it's own thread. Still, its nice to see that everyone has a chance to be in the know.

Bet they sell for AU$35-40.

Could be a good present for the younger ones, or even for the older ones to use after having a few on saturday night!
