I've kinda grown to love the Hap-e-Kid Cybotronix line, particularly the large-scale robots. I have a few, and they look and feel like the best of 80's B-roll toys, when there were giant Toys 'r' Us aisles filled to the ceiling with action figures, all vying for a place in the crowded but successful market.
In CA, you can find these at Ross stores. Not all of them are winners. The M.A.R.S. line has a lot of bulky, crappy "Transformer-Lite" stuff that doesn't do anything for me, as well as motorized 'bots that are all about lights and sound. Kid-stuff for sure, and fun, but not my bag.
I'm all about the MARS Hero line, which is about interchangable parts - mostly pop-off ball jointed stuff, but done in a nice rubbery plastic that maintains some poses and settles nicely, without feeling cheap. They really find a nice balance of inexpensive and playable.
The large scale Robotica bots, pictured here, are great giant mechs or assault bots or whatever, especially in scale to 1/18th figs. The interchangeable arms and weapons are fun, and aside from no swivel at the elbow (Which would have knocked them out of the park) I've been pleased to pay $14.99 for each, though I am still missing one of the four. I'll take some out of package pics soon, but wondered if you chaps had seen or enjoyed these.

I like them A LOT and had to track them down as they were not easy to find at all. Which one are you missing (i've got 2 available for trade - Cronus and Gorgon).
