Everyone loves a Transformers combiner giftset. It’s a lovely word isn’t it? Giftset. Just rolls off the tongue. My spell-checker doesn’t recognise it, but collectors certainly do. Almost always bright, colourful, large and with a significant portion of the box front covered in artwork, they make for some of the most popular and impressive collection display pieces one can find. Nowadays certain giftsets, while not necessarily rare, command vast sums of money as collectors vie with each other to complete their display of these beautifully packaged behemoths.

By definition, a giftset should be something that brings happiness. Not just one Transformer, but sometimes five or six, all of which interact with each other to create something more than the sum of their parts, expecially in the case of the combiner sets. Add in a reassuringly large box covered in artwork, a shedload of accessories, and a healthy dose of awe for any child that watched a Transformers cartoon containing one of these giants, and you have a recipe for success. Devastator, Superion, Menasor, Defensor, Computron, Predaking…these are all legendary names in the Transformers universe.
