Catch the Dots: Lode Runner

When Lode Runner went to Japan in 1984, Hudson handled the Famicom conversion and the company designed a cutesy elf-like hero for the main character. On the adversarial side, helmeted warriors that eventually became known as the legendary Bombermen were in the hunt for the elfin hero. Tomy shows love to Lode Runner with a pair of Catch the Dots toys which each feature a single pegboard and roughly 100 pegs to create recognizable Lode Runner characters in various action poses. Pricing is set at US$9.00 per kit and preorders ship in April 2007.
