No Transformers Pez Dispensers?

So, I decided to take a few minutes to create a site full of pez related auctions. And yes, that means that I've finished rewriting my wordpress ebay plugin – it's now a self contained content management system, rather than sitting on top of wordpress or any other software.

When I was searching for popular types of pez dispensers, one that popped into mind was Transformers. Surely I had seen Transformers Pez Dispensers before, I was absolutely certain of it.. but you know what? I couldn't find them anywhere.

Did I imagine these? Are they so rare that they appear as if they don't actually exist?

What gives?
