Thanks to Seibertron.com podcasters xRotorstormx and megatronus, from two separate areas of the United States, we have some officially Transformers licensed Jada Toys news to share: the sighting of the Hollywood Rides Volkswagen Bumblebee RC toy!

Coming from both Michigan and Manhattan, and both found at Costco (including on the online store here) for $49.99, the toy is an RC 1:12 VW bug with monster truck wheels for all terrains. We knew of the Camaro Bumblebee and the Optimus Prime truck from previous stories, but this one is relatively out of nowhere. Check out the images below, and let us know what you think!

I so want it-and to actually use it.

There is a 5% "non-member" fee if you don't have a Costco membership, but regular shipping is only $1.99.

I saw the other day at Target they had the Jada R/C Bumblebee Camaro in stock, and on the shelf right above Jada also makes a totally not Bumblebee plain yellow R/C Camaro.

To me this looks like they just had the mold laying around and didn't know what to do with it so just said "fuck it" and used it for this :SG-CONS:

Fellow Seibertronian Fc203 found the Studio Series Jada Toys Hollywood Rides Die-Cast Transformers 2007 Camaro Concept Bumblebee at a Walmart in Houston, Texas. This Dies Cast car is 1:24 scale, representing Bumblebee as he appeared in the first Transformers live action film. It comes with a collectable coin and Bumblebee's robot mode is sculpted at the bottom of the vehicle. The price for this toy is $19.97. The only other character we know from the first film to get a similar release so far is Optimus Prime.

Is this just a repackage of the previous release with a coin included? Because I've had that 2006 Camaro concept sitting on my desk for at least a year now, I'd guess. :-?

Spotted in two Walmart locations, earlier this week and yesterday. Looks like it might be the same chassis as the Monster Bug one. $54.99 online.

Thanks to Kyleor on the Seibertron Energon forums for posting our first sighting of the Hollywood Rides Bumblebee RC Camaro at not one, but two Walmarts recently. He also provided a link to where it's available on Walmart.com for $54.99.

The car was last seen back at Toy Fair 2019 tucked in a shelf of Bumblebee movie merchandise where it went largely unnoticed. Bellow you'll find official photos as seen on Walmart.com.

I remember seeing this at a couple of Walmarts back during Christmas 2018. There was a huge pallet of them. About a week ago I saw 3 of them on the shelf in the bike section.

Just in from site sponsor Entertainment Earth are new images of Jada Toys' mighty Metalfigs Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and now an entire diorama set inspired by the 1986 movie!

The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Metalfigs are each 4 inches tall, have light up eyes, feature 3 points of articulation, and even have accessories. Both are listed at $12.99 each.

The G1 Metalfigs diorama set includes 4 separate highly detailed and painted figures: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Each are 2 and 3/4 inches tall and are made from die-cast metal (the most precious metal known to toy collectors). The set is currently listed at $15.99.

Unlike what you may believe, Coscto is still in the tradition of offering exclusive Transformers product in the holiday season. They just are not of the transforming variety. Previously they had Jada's RC Bumblebee and now they have a Jada three pack from Age of Extinction (how timely?). The three pack features die cast licenced car modes for Bumblebee, Corsshairs and Optimus Prime. From the image is seems Costco is going all in on these Jada toys. This three pack is 14.99 which is rather affordable for quality die cast vehicles of that size (1:32 scale).

We thank xRotorstormX for sending this our way.

By the way, I know it says 1:32, but that Optimus is in a much smaller scale than that.

Jada Toys' 2022 catalogue is out and it has plenty for Transformers fans. It has G1 inspired non transforming die cast figures and micro sized G1 alt modes, but the big star here is they will be giving us a self transforming remote control Optimus Prime. This is fun for those who wanted the Robosen one but just didn't have the dough. Of course, you get what you pay for, but it is cool to see Hasbro being looser with their definition of what they are letting license holders do, especially when they had not allowed anyone but themselves to make transforming (converting) toys.

Below you will see images for:

Transformers Nanofigs Multi-Pack including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Jazz, Arcee, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Transformers Nano Cars 3-pack including Jetfire, Hot Rod and Sideswipe

The Nano Cars 3-pack's figures' proportions are all over the place. Jetfire's cute. Hotrod's weirdly NOT sportly and sideswipe looks the best with a "Real Car" proportion.

The RC OP is most interesting... the poor man's Robosen :lol:

They match well with the Citybot Titans. But I only have Devy, Predaking & the Ark... and these minifigs don't match with any of those. However they'll look cool lined up in front (or on top) of my PC monitor though. I might get them just for that and if they can be found and are priced reasonable enough (no idea how much they'll cost).

This is kind of two news pieces in one. Firstly, there are new Transformers themed toys at Walmart, in the form of the officially licensed Transformers metal minifigures from Jada. This set has 18 figures of G1 characters all made of die cast metal and they measure a little less than 2 inches in height. While these sets have an MSRP of $25 USD (like this GI Joe set here), this set was priced at only $12 USD. This is a pricing error since this same set is still on preorder at Amazon.com for the MSRP price. There is only one sighting so far, posted on the Transformers Addict Facebook page, where this was found in Texarkana, AR, so we do not know if this is the same price you'll see at your local Walmart when you find it. So, does this set interest you? And would it interest you at this price? Let us know!

Some fans were excited to get this self transforming Optimus Prime toy for their kids when they first saw it. Well, it is now being found at Target. Fellow Seibertronian xrotrostormx found it in Michigan. There is a video of someone trying it out on youtube, which we posted below.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Judging from the passionate discussion over the recently seen Velocitron Black Convoy toy, it seems there are a lot of Nemesis Prime redeco fans out there. Well, Jada may have something for you. They revealed on their website, today, the upcoming Nemesis Prime scaled at 1:24, with lots of images showcasing the non transforming toy at many angles. They definitely had some fun with this photoshoot. The toy is $29.99 USD and can be ordered right now off the site.

Below is the listing info, which includes a character bio, and the images

TRANSFORMERS G1 NEMESIS PRIME, 1:24 SCALE VEHICLE

It’s the dark clone of the Autobot leader, constructed by an evil genius whose only allegiance is to himself. Designed to be the ultimate military commander and made from pure darkness, Nemesis Prime fears nothing and no one. The legendary Decepticon wears a sleek black exterior with a chrome finish, and decals to match. Our 1:24 scale Nemesis is the destructive big rig you need. The dark side is where you’ll want to be.

GENUINE: Authentically licensed product from the iconic G1 Transformers franchise
CLASSIC CAR AND FIGURE: Inspired by the protagonist Deception, Nemesis Prime
ENHANCEMENTS: Crafted from durable materials such as 100% Die-Cast metal body and premium rubber tires
FULLY LOADED: 1:24 Die-Cast with detailed wheel rims, and opening doors

When I first saw this, I thought: Oh, probably just another third party figure. But then ¨Optimus Prime¨ and ¨Officially licensed¨ Proved otherwise. But this looks like a lame piece of merchandise. I encourage everyone NOT to pay over voyager price-point for a figure whos transformation involves ¨standing up the car to see a robot jammed underneath ¨ :lol: I don have much against merchandise, but It should be cheaper than an actual figure, not matter how ¨die cast¨ it is. :michaelbay:

It's $30 so it is in fact cheaper than a Voyager. If I remember right these ones at this price point are pretty big, closer to MP-01 Prime than Earthrise Prime.

And really nobody should care if non-Transforming figures exist if they aren't preventing a transforming one from happening.

Anyone who wants a cool looking truck without a bunch of panel lines to stick on a shelf? Even the best Optimus Prime figure still doesn't look like a perfectly seamless truck (unless it's a shellformer like some of the movie Primes). I've got a few dozen Primes of every shape and size, what I don't have is a perfect looking truck so I do intend to buy a few of these.

Fans found some good value to the original set of Jada Transformers mini figures. Well, for those who liked them, we have some good news. A photo posted on the Beast Wars Forever Facebook page shows that we are getting a new set of those. There are many redecos, like Nemesis Prime and some seekers but it also has Beast Wars characters. We see Optimus Primal, Cheetor, BW Megatron, Rhinox and Airazor. Can you name all the G1 characters? I ask because not all are obvious from that photo.

Also, it is marked on the box that this set is Walmart exclusive.

yellow Cliffjumper...should've just painted the face Orange and sold it as Hubcap

We got Prime in the 1st set, why include him again? Should have been Fort Max to go with Scorponok. And red Bee and yellow Cliffy? Why?
