TRANSFORMERS Merchandise Launch

Strangely enough, this 'merchandise launch' of the Transformers movie toy line came weeks after the toys were first seen on the shelves, but it was an okay event nonetheless. Some collectors had their Transformers on display, and there were also some fan art. There was a merchandise area for shirts and toys, and a table where there were laptop PC's playing Transformers cartoons and video games.

Here are pics of some of the Transformers that were on display:There were also several mini-games, such as trivia questions, and transformation time trials to see who can transform a randomly-picked figure. There was also a "coloring book" contest where - surprisingly - twentysomethings participated, and a timed on-the-spot drawing contest where (shameless plug coming up) yours truly won 3rd Place.
