Via Twitter user Super Podcasto we can share for you a very nice Transformers merchandising sighting at US retail: Officially Licensed G1 Bag Clips.
These nice bag clips, made by Monogram, feature small and nice G1 figurines of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Bumblebee or Soundwave. They were spotted at Dollar Tree stores in the US.
A very nice piece of G1 flavor! Click on the bar to see the mirrored images and then share your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

We've got some that a friend sent us. Mini Megatron and Soundwave are very cute.

I found them today at my local Dollar Tree. There were plenty of each of most of them but only one Soundwave.

See, I had to be a little piggy and get 3 Soundwaves – MOC, Opened and, *gasp!*, and actual keychain!

Found them at my local Dollar Tree today. Got 2 of each. Figure for $1 each, I can do the whole 1 in package and 1 open one and not go broke.

I was facing the same dilemma, I have very few "static/figurines" in my collection, all of them being outside my TFs collection, but I figured for the price, I can simply use them as just about anything, drop them in the Christmas tree, bring them to work, etc.
I decided to get them because they do look very good, for the 1$ price, they do prove that you can get excellent quality figurines without hurting your wallet. Compared to those cheap foam/plastic that were over 10$ just a few years ago… now that was bad, they looked cheap and yet, many fans were all over them.. oh well.

That's totally hot! Pink measuring tape!

I'm visiting Philly and found these at a local Dollar Tree.
Looked nice, but I couldn't buy them since they don't Transform, which poses a bit of a moral dilemna.
Still, cool looking so hope everyone who buys them enjoys them.

Would this help?

That'll be right. Bots outnumbering Cons as usual.

Thanks mate for the info! If true, just dashed my hopes but its more information than available before ^^

Just a heads up to anyone who's searching for these. I asked them to bring out a case for me. Out of 24 pieces in a case, there are 7 Optimus Primes, 7 Bumblebees and 7 Megatrons. But only 3 Soundwaves. So he maybe the most difficult to find.

Called like 6 to 8 dollar trees to find them. But they weren't what I was expecting.

got a set yesterday, and they are really nice, and I don't normally get static/mini statues figures that don't transform… they are very detailed for their sizes.
And for 1$ (+ as in Canada, Dollar Tree sells at 1.29$) is a great example of why I'm always bitching about all the gaps in the general figures, which we get "white knights" that go on about plastic is expensive… like come on Hasbro, close those gaps already… any figure that is closed up like Siege OP is, are so much better for it and 3rd party stuff is pricey and never as perfect as if they were properly done from the start.

Anyone thats purchased these can you post up the receipt with the sku's? Mostly interested in the Soundwave & Megatron. Thanks!

The clip easily unscrews from the top of the head and the figures look great for what they are. They are about 2 1/2" and pair really well with the Titans in their city modes. I hope Hasbro continues with this line as I personally would love to display the city-bots with a roster of this size.
I finally found them in the Blasdell, NY Dollar Tree. They were located in the toy section along with Ninja Turtle keychains.

Dollar Tree now has "plus" items that range up to $5.
