- Release date: 1986
Synopsis
[edit]
Like Look Inside for a Special Offer!, this brochure was extremely tiny, folding down to just over 1" x 2". This small size allowed it to be packed in with smaller toys such as the Mini Vehicles and combiner limbs, alongside small sticker sheets and combiner instruction sheets. It featured a stylized image of Spectro on the front cover, with new painted box-art style art for all three of Reflector's components inside.
The text within is not a story; it simply assures readers that "REFLECTOR is an evil marauder—not a working camera" (since the two are often confused), and lists his accessories.
The offer expired September 30, 1987. Reflector would set you back a mere $10.00 and 2 Robot Points each, plus $1.25 shipping and handling.
Good luck finding him for that much now.
