I just came back from Wal-Mart and I found a Scion xB Transformer call Skids. I bought it right away without a second thought. Its the same color as mine. (BOP!)

I'll upload some pix later tonight.

I grew up with Transformers and I can't wait for the live action movie. Hope they make a xA or tC version.

 

...sorry but that's old news. Congrats on your new find though.

 

Don't mind him. It's a cool toy but you gotta be careful working it. I almost got mad and started breaking the tiny pieces off.

 

Thanx guys my wife accually drives the xB. I got if for her after her 4x4 Jeep gave up. I think she has a thing for boxs. hum?

Anyway its new to me and I like it. I kind of almost forgot about Transformers. I've seen some cool trailers for the movie so it sparked my interest again.

 

I have a couple of them, but I am afraid to open them up for fear they won't go back together!!

 

My friend and I have agreed that "skids" happens to be the hardest transformer to transform. . .ever. . .EVER. . .lol

 

I love my Boxes, both in Blue Onyx Pearl. The Transformer was a challenge to transform, though.

 

The interior is a LHD bB :?

 

I must admit it was hard to transform it at first but I've done it quite a few times now and its a lot easier. I just hate how the front seats won't stay. Grrr. Isn't there supposed to be another one coming out?

 

I purchased the Japanese versions instead. Made by Takara. They cost more but the quality is better. It is diecast with some plastic parts. I think the one sold here in the US is made of plastic only. Anyways, there were two version released in Japan. Click links below.

1. BT-16 Skidz

2. BTA-03 Broadblast

Ooh I like that blue one!! Know where I can find one for cheap? I like how the headlights on the Hasbro one have the bump over the turn signal. Anyone know if the fugly graphics can be taken off?

 

On mine, they are painted on. I'd be affraid to try and remove it without harming the shiney blue finish below.

 

me and my friend are actually going to be disassembling mine today and painting it white and painting those FUGLY windows black... ill pos tpics when its done!

 

Here is a good site ...some posted a bunch of pictures closeup about that toy

i still need to paint t he windows black and clearcote the wholething

 

Cool deal. Looks better in white btw.

 

Nice job on the repaint. On the Japanese releases YOU have the option of putting the stickers on the car. I just found out about these over the weekend myself(I seem to be late on things). The U.S. are made of plastic and are Transformers Alternators by Hasbro. The Japanese release are made of metal and by Takara, the blue bB is released as Binaltech and the Silver is a Binaltech Asterisk. Here's a link that should be of more help/info>>>http://tfarchive.com/toys/checklists..._binaltech.php

 

my walmart has four of them. if anyone has trouble finding one, let me know and ill get it for ya plus s/h. should be around $25. the car costs 19.97

 

thanks for the nice comments!

 

Also want to get one and paint it BCP.

Why? Cause I'm effin CRAZY!
