There have been a few licensees for Transformers diecasts. With Jada products currently popping up in Asda, I thought we could do with a diecast thread. These are what I've found in Asda lately: Buying these, I've noticed a packaging variant. In these photos, the top/left is a version I bought some time ago in Forbidden Planet. I bought it with the intention of opening it but have also always liked the way it looks in-package, so have never got around to opening it and was glad to find a cheap, second one in Asda. The newer one in the photos, you can see has the Jada logo top, front left of the box. Also on the newer boxes, the bottom of the box has a label with not just Jada branding, but also Dickie Toys. Dickie were releasing Transformers diecasts themselves a few years ago, for RID, so I assume this label is related to licensing and European distribution.

Hmmm. I haven't seen the larger cars in Asdaland as yet. Just the small 3-packs.

I have the G1 Optimus and the G1 minis. Largely for novelty sake as it's rare to get vehicle models based on G1.
I skipped the movie stuff though.

Not one pictured here, but I have the Jada BB beetle and Charlie set. Took me ages to track a reasonable priced one down the tear before last. I only reply wanted the Charlie figure to go with my transforming toys. But both peices are really nice.

I bought this set a few months ago, another one I bought with the intention of opening but which looks good boxed!

A shame the robots aren't more toy accurate. But still a nice set.
Ooh. Just noticed Starcream is in there too!

I picked up Jada's Crosshairs in Asda the other day. It seems to be coming in in an assortment that also includes original Optimus Prime.
