More than meets the eye, in a galaxy far far away
I'll be honest and tell you that after more than 20 years I'm still a mad Star Wars fan and collector. But this arrived in my inbox today, like a bolt from the past bringing all my childhood fantasies together - Star Wars Transformers! Darth Vader transforming into his Advance Xi Tie-fighter, Obi Wan into a Kedi Starfighter, General Grevious into, well, General Grevious, and Luke Skywalker into a X-Wing fighter.
Alongside The Thunderbirds, Transformers shaped my Saturday mornings for years. I had stacks of them and would battle my brother and cousins (my brother had Soundwave of which I was eternally jealous) - but now this just seems to good to be true.
Looks like daddy's Christmas list just got a bit longer ... Click here for the full range!

Was Soundwave the one that transformed into a boombox?
I always thought the autobots were lame, until the Dinobots came out. That made it a little more interesting when battling.

They have a "Science meets imagination" exhibit here in Boston ... museum of Science ... supposedly they have a replica M. Falcon you can jump into.

Yeah Scott, Soundwave was the big ghetto blaster, and the cassette tapes he played transformed into like a rotweiler, and some smaller jets too from memory. I started to lose it after the Dinobots myself ... give me the good old Megatron and Optimus Prime any day :)
