...this is so cool

I really want these to show up in UK poundstores now, this is positively brilliant. As someone who's apparently very good at handling wonky bootlegs, I'd love this.

Are there websites that sell crazy pieces like this/other excellent dollar store nightmares?

My thanks as well. I've already ordered a few choice pieces (I'm over the moon for a particular transforming John Deere tractor) . I'd love to get it all, though, particularly every last clear variation.

They even have the large toolbot. I can still review the DX version.

These look like they are

These look like they are really loosely based/inspired by the dimensional pliers/drivers/goldion hammer from GaoGaiGar

YOU CAD! This was going to be one of the first robots I reviewed once I started doing reviews, but you beat me to it.

This is not the only toolbot in the world. About six years ago, dollar general had the toolbot set, but it was much larger. The original black hammer bot comes up to the waist of the fully combined new tool bot. The hammer bot and a few swords are all that I have of my original set. When I got the new one on ebay, I was not expecting a miniaturized version. I can provide some comparison shots if you wish.

Sorry to steal your thunder,

Sorry to steal your thunder, JS. I'd certainly like to see comparison shots. I've owned a few of these but I've never seen the larger version.
