First Image of Transformers Lite Brite Patterns

O.M.F.G!



Who the hell is going to buy these?
other than for 'Boston' jokes.

"Who the hell is going to buy these?"


I believe we still call them... ...children.

WOW!!!! Transformers + LiteBrite = 80's Heaven!! My kids are going to lose there minds with this!

Interesting... a piece of fairly random TF merchandise that's branded with the Classics packaging design rather than the movie. I was going to comment on the picture of G1 Sideswipe - *everyone* seems to use pics of the G1 designs when they're actually referencing movie stuff - but then realised the whole thing was in the Classics style.

I'm quite surprised by that TBH, since Classics is apparently just a filler toyline before the movie stuff hits and I expected all the tie-in merchandise to be movie-based.

D-Con symbol FTW!

I'll be getting one to put with my collection.

they still make them? i guess you do learn somthing evrey day.

Damn now I need a light brite, I could use my daughter wanting one as an excuse

For the hell of it I will buy one

I am also suprised at the packaging. Like you I thought they would try to tie everything to the movie.

This just serves to remind me of how I used to mix up the Lite Brite song.

"Lite Brite! Lite Brite! Knights of the Magical Light!"

Cool! I just need to find my light bright!

hehe i expected pokemon, or dragonballz to hit into lightbrite stage first not transformers next thing they might want to make transforers legos i like it for childern but as a collector i do not to me it seems liike every toy company is trying to a transfromers toy because of this film no matter hoe=w bad the toy looks or operates

Didn't they have Transformer legos already, though they were based off the Armada line?

Yes they did. I am getting an Armada Starscream BTR Set soon. I htink it's cool. It's not lego lego...a sort of knockoff brand or some slag.

I may be showing my age here, but remember when Lite Brites and Legos were made for children to use their IMAGINATION? Damn. It's almost like having a puzzle with numbered pieces.

Lite Brites had patterns even when they first came out.

Cool that they have G1 designs, but I don't think I'll be buying a lite brite for this.
BTW they did do lite brite sets for Armada and energon I believe.

Merchandizing has no shame!

I still have mine from the late 70's ... I know my kid will get a kick out of this.

No thanks.. I'll steer clear from these.

I found my G1 set of lite brite pages a few months ago in the basement. Not sure I want to use them, though...

You are correct.

Yeah, I remember mine coming with Snoopy. Those were the days!

OK, this is getting silly now, lol

That's so wrong!

I think I'll buy two...

I don't know why, but something about this screams wrong...so let the ueeless mass marketing of TFs begin...I say useless to an extent because you know we're going to get a bunch of crappy toys and merchandise before the actual release. Mind you, I know some will be worth the money, but not everything!

Yes! Just bring back Transformers Shrinky Dinks and PrestoMagix and we'll be in business!

Yes and yes.

Wha?

I *used* to have a Lite Brite, not anymore. Not sure I want one now, either

DUDE!

I loved playing with that thing when I was a wee little gal. Wish I still had mine... Anyway, that's AWESOME. XD

Just don't send them to Boston. The city might go into lockdown.

I'm stealing my niece's LiteBright!

I don't remember patterns..I remember basically black pieces of construction paper...and that's about it....Maybe my memory's faulty?

Let's hang these up around the city!

Perhaps your folks bought yours from a Kmart, back when Kmart had a little restaurant inside it?

That wouldn't surprise me. It was as if my aunt spent her life savings to get me my Optimus Prime.

Um...I want one.

Badly.

I so suck.

Two thoughts:

1- Your telling me they still make Lite Brite?

2- Wasn't one of the Easter eggs on the 20th anniversary TF Movie DVD released last year a promo for Lite Brite patterns?

So ... for someone who was obviously deprived of these things in his childhood, what the hell are they?

It's a box with a lightbulb in it with holes in the box that you put a pattern over top with a piece of black construction paper, and you put colored pegs into the pattern that shine the light through them and make it all pretty. Lame toy.

Sounds exciting.

I'll go play with a shiney metal object now.

if i HAD a lite brite id get em but no way am i buying the whole thing

I beg to differ. Lite Brite offers another way for kids (old or young) to express their creativity. Lite Brite holds the same place in my heart as do Etchasketch (sp?) and magnadoodle. Sure, there's not much in the way of creativity in the patterns, but like a coloring book, a Lite Brite can spark the creativity to allow kids to imagine their own designs. (Somewhere I have a Lite Bright vikings helmet)

Nothing said you needed a pattern. just the pegs.
