I think I'd rather get them at the store. Hunting them down is half the fun. :run:

Plus, for all 6 at the store it would be $25.38 including tax and I wouldn't have to wait for them.

those are known as "candy box toys" in japan. For $4, you'd buy the box and not know what you'd have in there. You randomly buy packs trying to collect a set ... just like baseball cards.

The original six builder was an autobot. Then, 2 out of every 12 boxes contained a "chase" (aka rare) color variant. These figures were either green or metallic charcoal grey.

The US KayBee Micromaster Devastator is the "chase" (aka special) edition version. Hasbro took all the green guys and prettied them up in better packaging.

the first one is the Kaybee Defensor (which we all missed), then the Railbots, then a color variant of the upcoming Superion.

these are legit reissues too. These are all G1 toys that were made in the 80's/90's.
