Listings found for Upcoming Transformers Toy Bundles

This is nice, I've never owned Sideways, but I used to have the ROTF Arcee trio a long time ago and it would be nice to have them again, so I may buy at least the TF2 bundle. I'm guessing the "86 and TF6" bundles are the two Arcees and the two Brawns.

The previous Target 2 packs were either versus packs with a bot and a con, or 2 versions of Bee. My guess on the general format is that the 2 packs from the same movie will be a versus type, which the TF2 bundle matches up. For the combo SS86 and TF6 packs, I'm guessng on 2 versions of the same character.

If my guess is right, this could be a way to get the netflix Bee mold out again in a pack with B-127, movie VW or jeep bee. The other SS86/TF6 pack would probbaly be either Cliffjumper, Brawn or Arcee as the only ones I camn think of with deluxe figures from TF6 and SS86. I suppose a redecoed ER Wheeljack could be released under the SS86 name and fit as well.

I'm very curious to see what this might end up being.

Edit: On second thought I think versus type packs might be a bit too tough mainly because of the lack of deluxe cons to choose from, which makes me realize this might be a very autobot heavy assortment, even more than normal.

Predictions for who's coming with who in these sets:

-TF6 Bundle 1: Shatter & Dropkick
-86 & TF6 Bundle 1: Arcee Evolution
-86 Bundle 1: Kup & Blurr
-TF6 Bundle 2: Two Random Autobots from Cybertron
-86 & TF6 Bundle 2: Bumblebee Evolution
-TF5 Bundle: either WWII Bee & Hot Rod or some character who'd probably get a repackaged toy like Barricade a la High Octane Bee.

Based on the pricing I've seen for the sets, they might be two core class figures.

I’m just hoping the SS86 bundle is Hound and Sunstreaker.
Also, it would be nice if one of the SS86 & TF6 bundles does in fact include VW Bumblebee.

Just hoping we get official word sooner than later.

Hound in the proper Earth Jeep mode and Suntreaker with no clear plastic for better yellow paint/plastic matching.

Hope that we can get a proper Bumblebee turns into a VW Bug. We've waiting long enough.

Agreed on all points.

Next question; these seem like they’d be exclusives.
But exclusives for which company, & when will these be released?

These were found in the Walmart computer system, rumor is that they're for Black Friday.

Thanks for the heads-up... Now, will getting any of these be next to impossible?

EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:These were found in the Walmart computer system, rumor is that they're for Black Friday.

If the Black Friday rumor is true, then these would have to be repacks of some sort. I can't see any actual new figures make it this close to on shelves without being leaked.

This has me wondering, remember back in the Power Core Combiner days, Walmart literally shrink wrapped a larger set of the Scout Class bot and 4 drone limbs to a smaller Scout Class bot with armor/weapon mini-con? Those had their own bottom and unique barcode covering up the bar codes for the 2 individual packages.

I wonder if this will be something similar with 2 deluxe packages pretty much taped together with their own package back/bottom and unique barcode. Oddly enough, aside from TF2 Arcee who shelf warmed pretty bad in her day, all the other spots could be easily filled by bots that came out on 2022. It was weird checking the wiki, other than TF3 Bee, every other 2022 release could be in one of those bundles. SS86 Perceptor and Arcee probably aren't enough to fill out all the SS86 spots so likely some Kups and Blurrs will be mixed in, but I can see these being heavily slanted to 2022 when distribution was screwed up and previous shelf warmers if they are hitting stores for Black Friday.

There is no chance these include the target exclusive SS86 Hound

Another thing, these codes are not using this year's code letters, but the ones from previous years, like when Sideways and Arcee were readily available to order.

So this could be black friday two packs from last year which did not happen where Hasbro would have provided Walmart with a bunch of extra stock, like SS86 Arcee and Sideways, taped together with a new UPC sticker and sold at less than the retail of two toys.

This might be why not all TF fan sites have posted this news, as it might simply be old news that never came to be.

There's been a lot of talk regarding the newly revealed Transformers Studio Series Gamerverse WFC Starscream, most of it negative. But it's all early talk based on the few images we have seen. So, to give you all a better look, we are sharing this video review from DarthRavage07. He split it into a review video and a transformation video.

The big takeaway from fans so far has been the rubber-like cockpit. While some dislike the idea, others point out that it means it won't break like it would were it clear plastic. You'll let us know how you feel about the toy.

Transformers Studio Series 102 Optimus Prime is selling for double on e-bay due to Target not stocking him enough on shelves and online. This gave the Takara release more attention than they usually get since Takara's release is non exclusive. However it seems fans were not aware that the toy's preorders have gone up. Not only have they gone up, but they are also selling out very quickly. HLJ is a popular seller, has been for decades, and Prime is sold out there. Amazon Japan has preorders available to various fans around the world but not for Americans.

This is pretty big news on its own, since it seems Amazon Japan is reverting to its stance from years ago about disabling some foreign customers from ordering toys off their site. Right now it seems people in Europe and Australia can order SS 122 Optimus Prime (that's the code number for their release of ROTB Prime) but Americans see it as "not available" and the same can be said for MP Rhinox.

Back to Optimus Prime, if you do want to order it, the Japanese retailer Amiami still accepts preorders, and the toy is only $28 USD before shipping. Here is the link: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?scod ... 0510&rank=

That link above is one of your last chances to get this toy at a reasonable price, and once it sells out all that will be left is him on e-bay for $80-$100

At this rate, getting the Black Mamba KO with the silver thighs might be easier.

Also that rubber cockpit isn't going to make things any better. Outside of it sounding wrong to say I doubt it'd be any more durable than clear plastic tends to be.

Yeah, the original figure had a clear plastic cockpit canopy and it wasn't fragile at all.

It's not that the cockpit is made of rubber, it's that it's simply too large, making it look bulbous.

Yeah I already preordered one of those knockoff Optimus Primes with the upgrade kit already installed after Target cancelled my preorder. Can't wait to see them at Ross next year though. We beg and beg and beg Hasbro, Target and Walmart for certain figures only for them to hit a discount chain. Collecting is not fun anymore.

And great, the cockpit won't break...like all the other cockpits as it's been a long time since I seen one with translucent plastic actually break. But now it's likely to disintegrate instead. Or melt. Or crack due to getting dry. Snag on something and rip. There's actually more stuff that can happen to that cockpit now instead.

Looks like pre-orders went live for the newest wave of SS reveals.

Yep, I got all of them, though I may cancel the junkion at some point, I like my junkion shelf, but he will shelfwarm and I can wait

Thanks for pointing out Prime being on AmiAmi, I get a shipment from them monthly so adding him to my March order will help reduce/split the shipping costs. Last I had checked the orders had sold out so I never considered checking back, I just thought I might actually see him in store, but it looks like my local store has been skipping stuff.

The original cockpit didn't open, this one does to store the head inside which makes it a possible breaking point. But softer plastic doesn't necessarily solve that problem, just look at Titans Return Weirdwolf. And since when did Hasbro care about clear plastic breaking with all the clear tabs they've been using in recent years. It's unfortunate that they didn't just sculpt the canopy to make the cockpit appear smaller and add paint to finish the illusion. In the old days the canopy would have been on a separate larger door and it would be two parts.

Transformers Studio Series 102 Optimus Prime is selling for double on e-bay due to Target not stocking him enough on shelves and online.

I had wanted a copy of this figure, but as scarce as Target has made them? He's not been worth the trouble to track him down. It seems a nice figure, but I have no intention of paying the scalper's ransom they're asking for on Ebay. Same with Buzzworthy Origin Jazz. Target seems to be having a general problem with all their 'exclusives' lately.

And now I hear that Studio Series 86 Hound is slated to be in the Target Buzzworthy line as well. That scares me, because it means he will also be impossible to find. Walmart has rightly been skewered over the lousy way they handled Velocitron Cosmos and other exclusive figures. But Target is equally guilty. And given how Hasbro is supposed to be working and coordinating with these retailers to make sure they have enough product for everyone who wants to buy? It's hard to know exactly who to blame. It's like that scene in Grapes of Wrath. "Well - who do we shoot?"

To put it simply, it's something I've said before, something is going on between toy makers and retailers and we'll never know what if we don't ask, ask often, and ask loudly.

I never ordered from Ami Ami, does anyone know what the shipping costs to the US would be? All I found was that the shipping was "Based on wieght"

its a shame they couldn't incorporate the hover mode configuration for the jet mode

Importing anything from Japan is VERY expensive.
Expect at the bare minimum 4K to 5K JPY in shipping alone from a standard deluxe to a standard leader.

Since his leak over a year ago, Hound was ALWAYS Buzzworthy.

Plus it's a laugh anyway. If Hasbro made that cockpit out of soft plastic because they were 'concerned that clear plastic might break'? What does that say about how they're using almost nothing BUT clear plastic on so many other figures? (We're looking at YOU, SS 86 Ironhide, Ratchet, B-127, WFC Prowl, and a host of others). Hasbro sure as heck doesn't seem concerned about THOSE breaking....

So far, I've been transforming SS86 Ratchet and Ironhide back and forth over and over and I really don't see how anything can break. The only way would be to force things the wrong way on purpose, or to throw the toy at a brick wall with full force.

If you're ginger with them, you can avoid fractures. It remains to be seen how well these will hold up over time once the plastic gets older and more brittle, as it invariably does. In any case, if clear plastic is durable (as long as you make it a little thicker), why didn't they use it for the Gamerverse Starscream?

The minds of the designers are unfathomable.

Quantum Surge wrote:Is one of theme themed after the Night Ops repaint from the HFTD line?

It’s not exact, but it is inspired by it! The overall color scheme was taken from that Night Ops Ratchet, the red springs on the shoulders were meant to evoke that figure’s big red shoulder Autobot logos.

Here’s a better look at him:

The Walmart app had shown multiple “bundles” for figures in Studio Series and Legacy. We had the codes found below but now we know the price point will be $24.97 for 2 deluxes and we have images for 3 of these 2 packs. They are all straight repacks including Tarantulas and Elita 1, Perceptor and Wheeljack, and Knockout and Wildrider.


























TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF6 BUNDLE 1
Product Number: D3411
TRA GEN STUDIO DLX 86 AND TF6 BUNDLE 1
Product Number: D3412
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX 86 BUNDLE
Product Number: D3413
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF2 BUNDLE
Product Number: D3414
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF6 BUNDLE 2
Product Number: D3415
TRA GEN STUDIO DLX 86 AND TF6 BUNDLE 2
Product Number: D3416
TRA GEN STUDIO SERIES DLX TF5 BUNDLE
Product Number: D3417

I remember Walmart making 3 packs of DOTM deluxes for 15$CAN. They just took the cards, glue them on a cardboard, and warp the whole thing in plastic wrap.

Most of these packs were of 3 different Bumblebees!

We have more:

Unfortunately it seems there was some error in the naming, Sideways is packed with 86 Arcee and is labelled as 86 and TF6, whereas Bee and Jolt are the TF2 pack.

EDIT: No pics yet, but JTPrime is looking for pics for the TF5 pack and a second TF2 pack!

If this is real, this is an absolute steal. That's two for the price of one. I have one out of most of these sets but I might buy them and just sell off the duplicates.

I predict a lot of Knockouts, Skullgrins and Skids hitting eBay soon.

I don't buy a lot of Studio Series figures, but somehow I have every SS and Legacy figure listed so no savings for me. But no regrets, they're almost all great.

For me, instant skip. I already own 95% of all them. In this economy, no need for multiples.

But good price! Kids will be happy for Xmas this year

They couldn't do Cosmos? FFS.

Why would they? These are repacks of existing mass retail product from two lines that are still ongoing. Cosmos was part of the Velocitron line, which was an exclusive line, has been dead since last year, and even had a completely different packaging style from these.

And most of them will be again, even at those prices. Many of those are action on the pegs as singles at Walmarts currently. Especially those Arcees...

I skipped the Bumblebee movie Cybertron figures, and with these you can get five of them for $75. While B127 and Soundwave are still generally available, Cliffjumper can get up to $100 on eBay. Even still, might be worth jumping in.

Hopefully this means deluxes will be $14 in 2024 hahaha only the Ironhide/bike arcee ohhh and jazz and gnaw too that I'd want out of these so far depending on which dropkick/shatter alt modes are.

Its funny, i own at least one figure out of pretty much every set here except for jazz and gnaw, and dead end and skullgrin. Definitely getting those 2.

Interestingly enough, I see no Breakdown thrown in, despite the other 3 Stunticons being there.
