yeah - so now for all of us that grew up on transformers in the early 80's are well past the age we can legally smoke - time to take it up and have some nostalgia to boot_

I love transformers MUCH more than the next guy, but I hate what michael bay has done to this franchise.

give me giant robots, not shaky cameras and rocket fuel explosions.

No need to smoke, there's always the need on July, 14th and New Year's Eve.

Japan always gets the best Zippos. Real limited editions too.

My lighter has Tanya Harding's face on it. It nearly singed my eyebrows off.

OK, I am seriously in love with the autobot symbol that appears when you open it. The worst thing about these lighters is that no one who collects like me wants to break the seal on the lighters, and my display cases don't do part-way-open Zippos.

@Keebler: Seriously, the blu isn't the greatest thing in the world. I read bad reviews of it, and when I got mine, had most of the same problems I read. It's a pain to light, and is weird when it comes to filling. I have a MPL, so I'm used to filling Zippo butane lighters, but the only advantage to the blu over all my other lighters is that it doesn;t dry out.

Personally I prefer my Rolling Stones Zippo - link.

I'd have a Led Zeppelin one if the made them with the same sort of engraved design but I don't think they exist.

It would make more sense to have a Michal bay one, that causes randoms things to explode when you flick it. Thus allowing you to light up in style.

Zippo has always been pretty good at doing tie-ins that aren't whorish.

If you're in the beautiful Bradford, PA area I heartily suggest a tour through the Zippo/Case Visitor's center.

It's fun, but Case seriously needs a multi-tool.

I actually want that.

I have no use for it. But I guess I could just carry it around and be cool.

@Final: This.

Dear Gizmodo: the new re-imagined Transformers and any product associated with it is not a "win". Get it?

there's other uses for lighters other than smoking you know.
campfires, fancy drinks, molotov cocktails, horrible pranks, etc.

Giz: In other zippo related news, Zippo released a windproof/jet-flame style zippo a month or two back that I don't think you ever reported on. It's pretty sweet, and fairly groundbreaking in the Zippo world.
