    This is at one of my local Big W stores, just down the isle from the Transformers section. It's 4 whole pegs full. all various mod/ripoffs of the same prime truck mold.
    You've only just noticed those?? They've been around for about 8-9 years now!

    I've seen them before, I see others at $2 shops and IGA but that many at a Big W is a fair bit disappointing. they are supposed to be a legit Australian retailer.

    And like other comments above, lately a couple of the big W's I regularly visit have had more of this rubbish than legit transformers from Hasbro.

    I've only ever seen them at Big W, and I've been seeing them for years.

    I'm surprised Hasbro hasn't acted on these yet.

    I'm nor. Hasbro aust don't care about transformers when they are not on the shelves, so why should they care when fakes are on the shelves?

    Even if Hasbro were to act, they'd be better off focussing their resources on proper counterfeits that can fool people into thinking that they're the real deal. These kind of toys aren't really worth bothering over because nobody would ever mistake them for being legit Transformers unless they were completely brain dead. The fact that these toys have been shelfwarming for 8-9 years now proves that even at their cheap prices, people just aren't interested in this kind of crap anyway.

    Target did sell those KO Constructicons (the black and yellow ones) back in the late nineties or early naughties.
