You'd think with the PowerCore Combiners, they'd want to put out some of the more multifunctional Minicons...y'know, the Emergency Patrol, the Requiem Blaster, Star Saber, Skyboom Shield, those missile launching guys, some of them. Why do you torture me like this Hasbro? Why?!
I think those Armada Mini-cons you lust for all have dead casts! Would be unprofitable for Hasbro to make new casts for them and sell them to a relatively small target audience. Off to Ebay for you

Because those molds have been used so much that they are now unusable.

On topic, was there not a gift set of these as well?
Yes but that seems to be an exclusive ala the last two like it.

That'll teach me to skim read topics, I've just checked the link a little further up
I was under the impression that the gift-set and the singles were all the same toys, but apparently not.
The gift-set is also in a Euro-box, Tesco I'm looking at you...

Anyway, might have to start hunting for them, and my god, looking at the previous post at these guys, they have STATS for Minicons now?
My wallet is gonna be so empty that I'll have nothing left for TF3...
