Hi Andrew:
I've been casually following the BTR product line for GI Joe, but I've found
annoyingly little information online except for a few pictures, and none of my
local retailers seem to know anything about them. I suppose this is a Hasbro
venture across several product lines, and I'm interested to see what comes of
it.
The little bit that I've read of Transformers BTR suggests that people aren't
entirely satisfied with the sturdiness of the models, but that the models could
easily be reinforced (and enhanced/customized) with the inclusion of LEGO bricks
(or clone brand bricks, for that matter).
If you hear anything more about this product line, or about the GI Joe line,
please let us know. I don't have a particular devotion to either Transformers
or GI Joe, but I'm an avid fan of clone brick systems, and I will likely try to
acquire at least a few of these sets once I find them.
Dave!
