Blind bag toys found in Asdaland. Robots that turn into...letters! I got OPTIMUS who turns into the letter 'O'. Great fun. As you might suspect, there are 26 to collect!

I like your thinking, Urzu. If they don't they bloody well should do! Great idea!

They do not have magnets. They are cheap blind bag toys that transform. I suspect adding magnets would annihilate the budget for making them!
Phil can make the pictures appear.

Forgot to mention that the case also came with a wall poster which is more or less a larger version of the checklist.
Magnets would be a great addition to these fine toys.
Maybe there will be a 2nd wave of lowercase or symbols. Would love to have a transforming hashtag.

So are there only 18 or all letters but you need several cases? |

Pics above show all 26 letters.
They also say 'Collection Planet White', so that indicates another set to follow.

18 to a case. It cost me £29.99 inc P&P which works out a lot cheaper than singular blindbags. Not all 18 have been opened here yet, so I don't know which letters are missing. I'm happy to splash out on another in the later run to have a good chance of completing the alphabet and have more doubles (hopefully of vowels).

Here's another vid of the combiner wave. The letter I robot "Incubus" also has a lower case 'i' that transforms into a gun.
This wave also has a glow in the dark gimmick with the outline on the letters.

These seem to be Italian. Hideous flash on the company site, but there are.... COMBINERS! Combiners... formed of letters... That actually makes sense - after all, Letters are symbols that combine together to form something new in the shape of words. It seems to make sense that Letrabots would have the same capabilities...

Definitely going to Asda on the way home tomorrow. I'm more excited by the possibility of finding these than the w2 Primemasters. Were they in the toy section or by the tills?

You can buy complete sets of the alphabet on Aliexpress for decent prices, just search for "transformers letter".
Combining ones are on there too. The latest ones are dinosaurs and animals that combine into robots.
