Transformers Showbags

[GoktimusPrime]

Browsing for Transformer related showbags at the Sydney Royal Easter Show site and found the following:

Action Force Transformers Showbag (http://www.eastershow.com.au/showbags/ACTION%20FORCE%20TRANSFORMERS.aspx) ($18)

Mega Transformers Showbag (http://www.eastershow.com.au/showbags/MEGA%20TRANSFORMERS.aspx) ($12.50)

Even those these showbags appear to be unlicensed IMO they offer better value for money than the official Transformers Energon showbag that they had a couple of years ago - for the simple reason that these showbags actually come with TOYS! I still have my TF Energon showbag w/ original contents and I still can't believe that Hasbro were silly enough to release a Transformers showbag with no toys in it!! Even if it was just a Mini-Con or something... gah!

i still remember the year i got the "Tf' show bag kos of Flywheels a Triggerbot or something that was a spaceshuttle and some plastic drones

I have a very strong feeling that those showbags are just full of cheap KOs. Not really worth buying.

As you said, I am also pretty sure that the official TF showbag (if there is one) will only have official garbage in it.

As I kid I got this showbag which had a Microman Perceptor in it... don't know if it was licensed (like Shackwave) or not, but I grew up with that toy instead of the real Perceptor! Hence why Magnificus holds a special place in my heart! (totally sucks how I've lost Gamede - if anyone wants to buy a Magnificus but doesn't want Gamede I will literally go 50:50 in buying it with you!!).

Not sure if they're really KOs or just really generic made transforming robot toys (like that bus "Transformer" I have ;)). Still better value than the official TF showbag since it actually comes with toys.

There's no official TF showbag listed on the website. As I said, there was a Transformers Energon showbag which came with a bunch of official crap like some of those Otter Press reprints of the Dreamwave G1 Vol.1 comics, a Transformer Energon torch light, a Transformers Energon Pachinko game, a Transformers Energon view-scope thingy (where you put in those discs that you slot in and click the viewer to look at the various slides). And it was sold at a premium showbag price too!

The unofficial showbags are cheaper and come with toys; IMO better value.

Wow, I'm just surprised that there isnt a movie themed showbag.

All it would need to have in it is the Movie Bouncy Ball, some of the Z card things, some stickers and rub on tattoos, and some 50% ride tickets, and voila! Instant $17 Showbag.

Not to mention it would get rid of alot of the crud that Target and Kmart cannot seem to sell.

I would buy a movie TF showbag even if it came with Cyber Slammers.

Hey those things are awesome! You give them to the younger cousins to take them away from the proper transformers! :p

Well, at least they're good for something! :D

I too had the K/O Magnificus - which was a really good quality piece compared to the vast majority of K/Os down the years.

Best idea ever.

But you forgot the T.E.C.H. roleplay stuff. :)

It'll clear the Bigw shelves.

man, need some official stuff...

[GoktimusPrime]

We need an official showbag with a TOY!!

Imagine how popular a TF showbag would be if it came with an exclusive repaint! Or even a Mini-Con or Legends figure in an exclusive Easter Show package - even if it's just the same package but with a sticker on it that said Sydney Royal Easter Show 2008 -- it'd be an exclusive variant!!

Man... Hasbro just don't care about collectors I'm tellin' ya.
