Cage for Robotic Jaguar
By XTransbots

This cage is perfectly sized to re-enact a scene with a robotic jaguar captured by the good guys. The images use the version that came with the green jeep/robot that appeared with him, but the solicit says it will fit the upcoming MP15 figure as well.

$30 plus postage

Surely they are taking the piss now. A third party cage for one Transformer toy? A prop from one episode. Really? :rolleyes:

And well done on the person doing the write up for keeping the trademarks out; don't mention Hound when you can just call him "the green jeep/robot" :p

Yeah this is silly and expensive for what it is.

XTransbot is not a very good 3rd party company so I will just ignore it.

You could build your own from balsa wood really.

Surprised that BBTS would take this up, whilst dumping Planet X's Project Genesis.

This place has it on special for $35 - that's $10 off. But it doesn't come with the little key :( That was the only reason I'd consider getting this!

I'm not serious. Expecting ~$30 for an effect that could be just as easily achieved with a box of matches and glue is not sensible. Occasionally in collecting I'm reminded about that phrase regarding a fool and their money. This is one of those times.
