I picked up this Transformers set off ebay for $44.00 with shipping. It's all there, the stickers were never applied to the loco or cars. All the figures are there as well as the cardboard buildings and mat to set the track on.

I think I see the loco peeking out of a hole near the bottom right of the box.
What a find, so cool that it's all there, and unused to boot!

| Great find! I especially love the streamliner caboose that tranforms into a plane. Pretty neat piece when you think about it.

| Awesome find! I have the engine and two of the boxcars (I think all the stickers are there). It's a neat concept.

Carl, Matt is right, the loco is at the bottom right corner packed in the foam and cardboard.
Microbuss I'll scan the stickers, try to get to it tonight or over the weekend. It's a pretty cool set, I like the caboose too.
Tom
I got a chance to scan these tonight, the original sheet measures 12" x 6". Many on the original sheet I have no longer have adhesive on the back. It's not the best scan but hopefully it'll be useful to some of you folks.

I have all the cars + loco from that set; the boxcar is pretty cool too.
Shame about the couplers though, have no idea why they used such a strange contraption on only this set, and ones that don't adapt to anything else. Seems like those couplers actually day waaaaay back in the hobby though (not of Tyco origin).
The whole set is rather odd, what with the removable Euro-style bogies and wheelsets, but it's rather ingenious overall. Too bad nothing actually turned into a robot (the Shark would have begged for this), or found its way into the official cartoon/comic/storyline "canon", or it might actually be a sought-after set and not a lame licensing exercise. But it's a nice find in any case. Enjoy!
