i don't see that affecting transformers toys. since Hasbro was not affected by the recall. And since we (adults) don't go and lick our toys. a little lead in the paint is nothing.

Does this seem silly to anyone else. Mattel screwed up even though they claim they had a good testing system in place and since they screwed up and lost money they are going to pass that cost along to the consumer. Nice company
"Yeah we tried to poison your kids with lead paint and to fix it we have to charge you %10 more".
Talk about sticking it to their customers not once but twice.
