I love junky Poundland robots! - minion - 02-18-2011 06:16 PM
Visits to Poundland for custom fodder and toy junk is a favourite trip of mine. Today I found some sweet little robots.
Found the rather awesome Thomas the Tank Engine combiner in Poundland.

Poundland one on the left - my original one on right.

Sadly they found a way to make this KO junk worse. The faces aren't sculpted but just slapped on circles with paint. There is also no detail or colours, no shoiey silver, and it is made of worse/looser/poorly fitting plastic.
Can't argue for a bargain £3 though! The sword and shield are a massive bonus which my first one did not come with!
Worth picking up, but the first Poundland I went to had odd numbers so chumos are buying individual trains or they're boxed unevenly in the case.
I also picked up this rather cool little set. They were carded indivually, but combine to make a little robot who can't stand up (hence the card propped at his feet). The vehicle modes are pretty cool.

I've saw those several times.
The Overlord one comes in Yellow too.
They seem to have;
Truck Robo loads as well, an oversized and simplified MiniCon in 2 different colours.
2 sets of mixed MiniCons and MicroMasters in several colour varieties.
3 or 4 twin-packs of mixed Legends, and MiniCons

Well you might have had the courtesy to let the rest of us know!
all mine has left is two of the parts, might have been able to get one if I'd known to look
Minion do your stuff......

I wasn't sure it was possible to be cheaper than the first thomas combiner but I like the idea of the sword and shield, might see if mine has them just to spruce up my original

I have a spare green train so can sort you out with the shield GD. If you want the train Ghosty then let me know.
