    First Easter themed TFs merchandise I've ever seen. Which suggests the brand is finally getting popular enough to warrant more unusual licensed
    items. And as stores are already stocking for Easter (which is still six weeks away!!!), these could well be just the first of many items to expect this year.

    Target

    Both of the following two items were $13 each at Target.

    First is a metal tin with 10 easter eggs inside and a sticker sheet. Despite the price, it is a nice container for holding parts and accessories in.
    (Leader class Optimus toy is just used for scale)





    And the odd one, which is a clock packed with 4 easter eggs (why a clock for easter???).



    The Optimus toy was again just used for scale (still haven't transformed it yet, so at least I'm getting some use out of it ).

    UPDATE (18th Feb)

    Found at another Target store, the Clock pack with only gold coloured eggs (none on the shelf had the red ones - each store I've been to only
    had one or the other - not that it really matters, since it is just the wrapping that is the only difference).

    BigW

    Now, at BigW, there was a complety different range of Easter items, but still by the same company, so it perhaps different items are exclusive to
    different stores or retail companies.

    4WD tin. As you can see in the second photo, the car splits in half, and there are four eggs are inside. There were a few different toy brands
    available in this form, so this uniquely shaped tin wasn't just created for TFs. Price was $9.87.

    .
    Torch Gift Pack. A cheap plastic torch with a TFs sticker wrapped around it, packed with 2 batteries and four eggs. Price $9.87.


    .

    .
    Pencil Pouch. Packed with four eggs, and has a nice rubbery Autobot symbol attached to the zipper. My favourite item of the BigW bunch. Price $8.86.


    .
    Ceramic Mug. Similar idea and packaging to the Christmas Mug, but this time it has one large egg packed with it, and the image on the mug is
    different. Price $9.87.


    .

    .

    .
    Yoyo and Egg Pyramid pack. This would be the lamest novelty item of the BigW items. A single egg (not as big as the one with the Mug), packed
    with a cheap yoyo, that has on the side of it, a maze/ballbearing game. Fortunately it is also the cheapest of the easter items. Price $7.86.

    Ah cool, I was wondering what the inside of that tin box was like. I saw that at my local Target on Friday. And true about the clock, very strange to have that as an Easter item.

    Both of those items look fantastic. Hope that the tin comes to New Zealand, otherwise I may have to ask for a favor :-)

    Yea, I saw some on the shelves out Penrith way. I'd say it would be country-wide

    Nice.

    Heinlad's probably the closest thing I have to Time Warrior (being an actual Transformer who's a clock as well) - but that was a good call. (:

    That's not a bad idea. Might check it out. I could move all my G1 parts and accessories from the old ice cream container they currently live in.
