Found these today at Toys R Us. I don't know how long they've been out, I'm there at least once a week and today is the first time I've noticed them in the Star Wars aisle. They had a ton of 2 pack figures, vehicles and playsets. I got a playset and a 2 pack. The playsets include police station, fire station, airport, construction area and some big race track looking thing.

The figures are pretty cool. They have wheels on the bottom and a diecast base. They are articulated at the shoulder, moving laterally and vertically.

The art on the box is kind of retro, I get an 80's vibe from it. The playset itself isn't very impressive... at least not yet. The levels don't snap together well and it could fall apart easily by picking it up. I'm going to see if some super glue helps. Could be kind of fun if it holds together. Has a working elevator, jail with door that blows off, ramp, missile launcher and "robot accelerator" that pushes the robots a short distance.

I saw these the other day too ... They only had to 2-packs and the base on the shelf. They are pretty cool looking.

How big are they?

How big are they?

2" tall. Forgot to say, the 2 packs were $6, the playsets were $20.

Edit: Some superglue made the playset a lot better. Probably still not worth $20 though.

We picked up 3 of the 2-packs a few days ago. They're about Battlebeast size, with themed designs. I'm fairly impressed with them, and plan on getting the rest of the 2-packs. I have no intrest in the vehicles and playsets tho.

In Boise these have been out for at least a month, I first noticed them when Toys R Us had that 2 for $9.99 sale on Marvel Universe and that included G.I. Joe so I snuck a peek at what they had.

Remind me so much of Z-Bots. I saw 4 or 5 I thought were cool enough but I don't have any room to display them so hopefully one of you guys will be way into them so I can see an awesome set up.

Total 80s vibe, not just in the packaging but in the immediate inclusion of vehicles and playsets. You don't see lines launch with playsets very often anymore.

I picked a load of these up today from Home Bargains at lunch time, they really rock that retro vibe. I am a sucker for stuff like this, especially when it's on clearance.

I got 12 individual figures (59p each), 4 figures with vehicles (£1.99 ea) and 4 playsets (£4.99 ea).

I'm at work so only opened a single figure pack so far (Sky Bot) but all seems cheap and cheerful enough.

Here we go. This is just the 12 individual figures and the 4 vehicles, I didn't open the playsets. Build quality is adequate. They are quite similar to Z-Bots in many ways, albeit on wheels rather than legs.

God, with everything else I'm trying to collect, I had to pass those Androidz up. And that hurts, cause I'm a huge Zbots fan!!
