transformers are they evil toys?

[brimfull]

Don't really know what they are but ds asked about them.We asked in the local toy shop and the reply was a very shirty "we don't sell THEM".
Couldn't ask why at the time as he was serving but left feeling ever so slightly ashamed for even uttering the word.
Why?

dunno

My 2 boys love Transformers. I didn't think they were evil.

John Lewis sells them.

No - only the Decepticons are evil

They're available at Woolworth's, so toy stores tend not to sell them. They're a bit plasticy-made-by-child-slaves-in-a-poor-country, aren't they?

Unlike the fairtradey-wood-made-by-artisans-in-france stuff that 'nice' stores like to sell ...

Omg hardly

I remember them from when I was little.

right ,might go in tomorrow and question the old git

LOL Bobsmum. I think my ds1 would agree.

The new film is out this summer so it's possible that other shops will start selling them.

the shop sells toy guns and allsorts of scary looking stuff that ds drools over

Surely they are no worse than Bionicles or the like . Wasn;t the Entertainer was it , they don't sell "aggressive" toys ?

Ds loves them. In Woolies from about 2.99 to huge big ones about £40(which is coveted!!)
