    Yeah, perhaps in the 2000’s but when I was growing up was in the 80’s-90’s. And the only place I ever saw them was in a magazine for $1.99. But that’s just my experience.

      That was also my experience. Never included with a set, hell never even saw one in person. Only knew they existed because they were shown in the mail order catalogs.

        I’m sure they came with something. Maybe the robotics kits or other unthemed kits that don’t have a specific design and are meant to be taken apart. I have like 5 of them and I’m certain I never bought any separately
