I got the RX8 Transformer

Had to get it off ebay because they stopped making them. Near new in box, this thing is pretty cool

Sweet! My friend found one online for my birthday present (it somewhat matches my whitewater pearl). I ended finding the purple mazdaspeed version at Toys R Us, too.

yeah, I had the metal version of this, after about 30 mins I decided to sell it off. I don't recall transformers being so painful to transform when I was a kid.

Yeah, it is quite a pain, not to mention the directions suck. I'm planning on leaving it in one mode or another for a long time and just displaying it with my other car models.

It actually looks really good, not too obvious that its a transformer and still kept the suicide doors.

Hey, when it was transforming, I didn't hear the sound they make... I mean come on, you didn't even write it in... Not a very good Transformer experience if you ask me.


I might have to yell at my wife, and tell her to get me one. Looks pretty sweet dude.

I have the blue one, like my 8 (not quite the right shade of blue, though). I started transforming it & got confused & it took me a couple of days to close it up again! Now it's on my "8" shelf in my classroom.

If so, this would be another reason I don't like owning this car...
