New Bumblebee Movie Toy RC Slot Track Set Found at Retail

he races...himself?

Eh I prefer the 2007 Scaletrix set (that I won from Titans Magazine's Transformers mag here in the UK) where you Bumblebee racing Barricade and both cars have simplistic robot forms they can change into.

Racetracks are still a thing in these days and age?

I find it kind of awesome actually.
Also.

Bumblebee is playing with himself. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Those of you eagerly anticipating the second wave of the Bumblebee movie Speed Series figures (serving as the Legends/Legion Class size for this line) will be pleased to know that it has been found at retail! More specifically Cliffjumper, who is the only new figure in this second and final wave. And, as is often the case with Cliffjumper toys, he's simply a red redeco of a Bumblebee toy, in this instance, the Volkswagen Beetle mold of 'Bee from Wave 1. Coincidentally this echoes the previous Cliffjumper Legion Class toy from the 2007 movie, who was a straight redeco of that line's '76 Camaro mold.

History lesson aside, Cliffjumper and the rest of his wavemates were found at a Target in Salt Lake City, Utah.



Will you be on the lookout for this figure? Let us know what you think, and if you've found a newly released figure, but haven't seen any news on it, be sure to email us with photo evidence. Happy hunting!

Funny, i was going to take a photo last week when i saw two at a local target here in Virginia.

I actually have a photo, I took it like a week or two ago. I would have posted it but then again, everytime I try to upload it won't work.

Maybe I should upload to Facebook and put a link there?

Sorry guys

Open a IMGUR account. Upload the picture there. Then copy the BB code and paste it here.

They are reliable and will most likely not turn into Photobucket any time soon.

you are lucky, I already know my best chance is to buy it overpriced on ebay just like the 30% of my collection...

Thanks man. I had considered them but I wondered if my pictures would eventually be deleted like how I see some from Photobucket does. This seals the deal and from now on you can expect pictures from me

I was betrayed by Photobucket like so many others. Then I used another service that went bankrupt. So I understand the sentiment wholeheartedly.

I've never really used Photobucket or Imgur. When I've sighted a figure in the past, I've just taken a picture with my phone and attached it to an email. That's always worked for me.

You know, that makes a ton more sense. Don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place

From now on, if I see sightings, I will post an email with a picture attached

Saw one here in Nebraska on Wednesday. Movie stuff arriving on time, yet again, to an area that has horrible timelines/distribution for every other subline.

Well this is disappointing. I was hoping for at least one more wave of Speed series figures. I guess Dropkick, Blitzwing, Ratchet, Ironhide and Soundwave are it for those series' as well.

Say what you want about the Bumblebee toyline but the toys were at least on shelves when the movie was out and now every single toy has been accounted for before the film comes out on Blu Ray April 2nd. A few toys have come out since the film was released in theatres like Nitro Series Dropkick and Blitzwing and the Mission Vision toys and fellow Seibertronian newsie D-Max has found the only ones still unacounted for at brick and mortar: Transformers Bumblebee Evergon Igniters Power Plus Series Ironhide and Soundwave. While he only found Ironhide, we know that the more coveted Soundwave is in the same wave and was probably bought on sight by someone else who loved that van mode. You can see the case distribution below. While they were available at Target.com, this is the first time we hear about them being found in stores. These toys were found at Target, Altoona, Pennsylvania. Ironhide was $14.99.

1x TRA MV6 IGNITERS PWR PLUS OPTIMUS PRIME
1x TRA MV6 IGNITERS PWR PLUS BUMBLEBEE
1x TRA MV6 ENERGON IGNTR PWR PLUS STINGRAY (ironhide or soundwave)
1x TRA MV6 ENERGON IGNTR PWR PLUS INFANTRY (ironhide or soundwave)

All the toys in a line appear at U.S. Retail? Has this ever happened before? Usually there's one or two that have very limited distribution and some don't show up in the U.S. at all.

In a movie line, I dont think so, hence why I wanted to write this story. It did happen with POTP though.

These where at a Target in Chester, VA! I posted this in the Toy Sighting Forum for Virginia.

Well all in all I think this line was really fun and I hope the igniters gimmick is something that continues on. Pouring one out for the homies.

Looking for some interesting exclusive merchandise from the Transformers: Bumblebee movie? Japanese publication TV-Kun may have what you're looking for in the form of their newly announced "Red Fire Optimus Prime" exclusive figure! This figure is a clear red plastic "repaint" of Energon Igniters Speed Series Optimus Prime. Black Convoy of TFW2005 has translated the press release from TV-Kun's website, which details that the figure is tied to the May 2019 issue of TV-Kun magazine and will debut for the Japanese market on April 1, 2019 at the price of 980 JPY. Below is the image from the press release on TV-Kun's website for your reference.



What do you make of this Japanese exclusive figure? Do you love all things clear plastic in your Transformers? Does this figure seem worth the effort of importing for fans outside of Japan? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

I guess it looks pretty cool, but I have no use for the regular one and much less use for importing one from Japan

Goes with the clear Bumblebee Speaking of which, here's a (Japanese, no-word) video showing him off:



The box also contains a so-called Secret Medal for the Kamen Rider Buttobasoul arcade game. That one is Kamen Rider Geiz from the current Kamen Rider Zi-O series.

"Movie "Bumblebee" release commemoration! Something happens on 3/8 (Friday) at 14: 00 .... ROBOTS IN DISGUISE ... Please expect!

https://bit.ly/2EwljDR

# Bumblebee # Transformers # transformers
"

it appears we should expect a repaint of the a leader class optimus figure, the legendary one

7-Eleven Japan has something to say on 3/8. Thanks to fellow Seibertronian TrypticonCarne in the Energon Pub forums we've been alerted to a message on their 7Net Twitter page that announces, well, an announcement coming next week to the 7Net website. And if that isn't intriguing enough it's accompanied by a silhouette of what's likely the Takara Tomy Leader class-sized Legendary Optimus Prime for the Bumblebee Movie. Could we be getting another Ultra Magnus-esque 7-Eleven repaint like the MP-711 Convoy from last year? We'll know in a week.

Don't count on it. It will be something random like this:

Not bad, but I wonder if the G1 trailer could also work

Otherwise...

Dunno g2 wont fit and I don't have a g2 trailer

Huh seems if you get that kreemzeek server error the original posting still goes through good to know for next time

FYI, you may be better off posting those in the Siege thread since that's the line this Prime figure is from.

If you are talking to me. You are mistaken that is the Bumblebee movie Optimus. Not siege

Right right, I meant studio Series. But I just noticed you did indeed post them there too. Cheers.

Found this today. Now I know what 7-11 is doing

(Don't know why the robot mode pic didn't automatically apply with my previous post)

Robot mode looks quite elegant, better than the Legendary version IMO.

As we previously stated, 7-Eleven Japan revealed a new toy today, on 3/8. It turns out it's a redeco of Legendary Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime in Nemesis Prime colours, with all that lovely teal. It can be preordered now on the 7-Eleven site for 7500 yen plus tax. That is the only place to get it at the moment, so it's only available to Japanese residents. It may show up at site sponsors though (for a premium). The toy will be released September 13th, 2019, in 7-Eleven stores in Japan. You can check out the images below. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Finally, an official version of the knockoff that has literally been EVERYWHERE on eBay. I swear I could look up a potato on eBay on a computer that I've never used before, and this would still show up in the recommended results.

KO Trash-talk aside, this looks pretty cool.

The KO is more expensive though, right? At least more expensive than the original legendary prime.

So 7-11 huh? Hasbro should work with Circle K (insert local gas station/C-store here) to bring exclusives to the states. Fill your tank, get some smokes, maybe a scratch off ticket and an $80 toy.

This is the redeco I was hoping for to justify the figure. Hoping it's not too hard/pricey to get here.

Did you guys get these toys at gas sations in the 80s?

Not sure if this is realitivly new or not but spotted this in a Walmart in Colonial Heights, VA. It’s the Energon Igniter Shatter!

I don't remember seeing them at gas stations, but that doesn't mean much.

Funny story actually. One of my clients has a huge ESSO sign inside there building and I asked about it and apparently the building was an ESSO station originally (a company I've never heard of). On my way to the hotel in Laval, QC I saw an ESSO station. Crazy right?!

EDIT: ESSO is a trading name for ExxonMobil and its related companies.

insert the more you know meme here

ESSO stations are popular in Germany as well! More so, if you where stationed overseas, you used the ESSO stations because of the fuel stamps we had to purchase. That was a long time ago.

Slurpees, Transformers and even a history lesson - who woulda thunk it?

The US had Essos before they rebranded the company in 1972. The rest of the world never caught up with the rebranding though.

And Esso even appeared in the Japanese G1 cartoon:

That paint job is stunning!

As much as I would like to get this, I've got the original Weijiang OSKO Nemesis Prime. Being in Japan, the official version might be cheaper, but outside, I'm not so sure.

I reckon the official version is going to be over 100 dollars outside Japan, whereas the original Weijiang version is around 130 dollars or so (possibly including postage) here: - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=2750 ... Black.html .

Also, there's the newly released Black Mamba version (although the lorry mode is different) : - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=4651 ... ck_BM.html . Thus version is about the same price as the official TT version. Both of the KO versions don't really have much teal, though.

I suppose it's great that there are at least three great options for a large, film-style Nemmy-P.

Nemesis Prime? Never thought I'd say this but...

*yawn*

Just wanted to show this, they had one of the Bumblebee Movie displays in a Walmart down the street from me, with blankets and posters. The poster in the middle was the one i bought, pretty cool!

That one sure is yawn inducing, never really thought the Evasion Mode version was as good as it could be. But the Legendary version really lives up to its name, it's beautiful with all the teal flames and added details.

Did that display just go up at that store? Most stores had them up in December and tore them down in January. I wonder if they're going back up for the home release of the movie? The posters are the same as the ones from the first run. Looks like wave 1 of the Mini-Bots reissues are in there, too.

Emerje

They had one version up when the movie came out but then this particular one popped up. I guess they are just repurposing it. Adding the posters, blankets, pillows, and the Mini-bots. I bought one of the pillows awhile back, but at that time, they didn’t have th posters. So when i saw it, i thought they had torn them down. I posted a better shot of this particular display a week or two ago under the “Virginia Sightnings” where the opposite side was nothing but the Wave 1 Mini-bots. In my area, its the only display still remaining.
