Transformers Showbags

[GoktimusPrime]

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

Action Force Transformers Showbag ($18)

Mega Transformers Showbag ($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!!).

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

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.

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

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.
