I have one, found it in an asian bargain buy type place.

I can't remember exactly where it came from, but if I find another on my adventures I'll get a couple.
:D

Cool. Is it a real Transformer or just a copy?
I've still got my Transformers from when I was a kid.
Keeping them out of reach of the next generation of Damian's is a battle!

There are a few of them about , Flute has a mint boxed one , I have an unboxed one . They aren't a transformer but a similar thing and were released without Rovers permission so withdrawn soon after release after the manufacturer was sued .

Not sure where mine came from except that my dad gave it to me along with all his other mini models (he is 66, I'm 44 by the way). He had it for a few years, I will ask him where he got it. Maybe the box will help you. I can't take any more pics at the moment as my collection is on display at a local library. I will post a pic of that soon.

You're forgetting the reason they withdrew them beforehand , Rover hadn't authorised them . Now they (or the person ordering the batch of them) would have to get BMW's authorisation .....
