So lots of news to get through on this Target find. A new case of Transformers product was found at Target and inside it were four boxes of four packs (as it says on the case). We then got images of three of the boxes found inside. They are all repacks of Studio Series figures and those figures are:
SS27 Clunker Bumblebee vs SS28 Barricade
SS18 VW Bumblebee vs SS46 Car Dropkick
SS79 High Octane Bumblebee vs SS02 Stinger
These represent the first time these characters met, which reminds us that Bumblebee was in his High Octane mode when he first saw Stinger.
Speaking of which, the SS79 High Octane Bumblebee is the same toy we got in Age of Extinction and thus this tells us that the Studio Series 79 toy will simply be that toy rerelerased. Many AOE toys did end up in the "Premier Edition" Transformers TLK line which in turn has been grouped into the Studio Series line (with Cogman and Drift getting no mold changes). Does that mean we probably won't get a new mold for Crosshairs or Bugatti Drift? Don't know. All the images were posted by TFW2005.

You forgot another TLK "Reissue" with K.S.I Boss, who was a "premium painted" version of TLK Nitro Zeus.
I wonder if we will see some more "reissues" in the SS line?

That's not an SS High Octane Bumblebee, that's clearly just the AOE figure repackaged. I should know, I actually have it.

Well I guess I'm getting another Bumblebee because I missed out on SS Barricade and I want it.

I thought one of the new 2 packs had 2 versions of Bee in it…
Maybe that was an old one…

Strangely enough, you might have stumbled into exactly what the 4th one is, a re-release of the SS24/25 Bee 2 pack that are originally a target exclusive. Target actually has that original Listing on their website as open for pre-orders due September 1st, so I'm betting its the 4th one for these 2-packs.

Which is odd, because it means VW Beetle Bee would be re-released in 2 of the 4 2-packs.

You're right , totally forgot KSI Boss. As for the comment up there regarding that not being SS HO Bee, it is. It's an upcomong SS release which is also a rerelease of the same toy. Which is too bad.

This make me think that one more TLK "reissue" may happen with voyager Scorn (in better paint) if they decided to finally redo the rest of the AoE Dinobots. I think all would be leaders and voyagers. TLK Scorn being big and pretty much perfect would be a nice way to kickstart the AoE Dinobots in the SS line.

If they are going for scale with Grimlock, he should be leader. Voyager would be too small.

All they need to do is pull an SS-06 Starscream and make the same toy but one size class larger. It's such an amazing toy that I absolutely will update my collection even if it's all they do.william-james88 wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:william-james88 wrote:-Kanrabat- wrote:You forgot another TLK "Reissue" with K.S.I Boss, who was a "premium painted" version of TLK Nitro Zeus.

Upscaling the TKL voyager could do the trick for an easy start.

I would say that car dropkick is an awesome enough figure to be worth owning even if you are also downscaling your SS collection. He's that damn good.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I thought the TLK Scorn looked kinda crap compared to the AoE Deluxe (they seem a bit overly-blocky). Both versions seem to have their own benefits, so I think slimming down the voyager's shape to have a more organic shape and possibly working some magic to make the jaw finally end up on the hips would do wonders. If we got a new Scorn (and considering we're entering a Dinobot heavy time, that's very possible) I'd probably get it since I enjoy the design.
Also I've always personified Scorn as a fembot for both variety's sake and for the pun in their name.

If this is all that High Octane Bee is going to get in Studio Series, then I'll be rather disappointed. A new mold of that design was one of my biggest wishes for this line.

We have new US Sightings for the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line. Firstly, the Crash Combiners Primelock and Bumblegrim were found at a Target in Milltown, New Jersey. Secondly, at that same Target, the Worlds Collide 4 pack (the one with Fangry) was also found. While it was previously found at Walmart, it was never in the system. This time, it very much is, since we've already seen the listing for this Target exclusive, and is priced at $84.99 USD. The Walmart inventory was clearly a mistake and you should probably only look at Target if you are on the hunt for this set.
If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.
Both sightings come from TFW2005 user shadow panther. Vector Oracle from the same site, shared some in hand images of the crash combiners for those curious of the new decos.

In the past, Tesco was pretty good at getting the Target Exclusives but in this case, and considering the state of Transformers toys at general retail...I'd either hope that Smyths or the Entertainer bid for it or that Hasbro Pulse UK adds it to their partner tab.
Otherwise it's waiting to see if In Demand Toys or Kapow get them.

Thanks @ZeroWolf. Didn't know Tesco was 1 to check.
I'd say keep it on the down-low, but life's too short, Game.co.uk and Sports Direct of all places are doing previous Earthrise figures at joke prices (£25 leader class, £60 SkyLynx).

Origins Bee or Fris-Bee as I like to call him is also out in the wild, found him with the Worlds Collide 4-pack today.
Weird note, the box for Origins Bee doesn't have a plastic window. Just wide open, he must have requested natural ventilation or something.

I wanted to share some initial thoughts on Origins Bee having just opened him and transformed him once to frisbee mode and back again. Wow, what an excellent toy! the transformation is unique and fun. I know the figure is small, but the legs alone are as complex as most regular sized deluxes.
I don't watch reviews, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else, but Buzzworthy Bee shows us our first glimpse of Hasbro's (almost) zero plastic packaging. The only plastic on the packaging is the plastic hang tag for the store pegs, that is it. The ties are rattan. The box has no plastic window.
Also impressive was that the gun and energon rods were secured only by creative cardboard oragami. The ties are only twisted and taped down. Honestly this was the easiest TF to open in quite some time. I only used a knife to cut the tape on the flaps (because I'm OCD) and the rest was done by hand.
Bee also comes in just a hair taller than is ER Cliff/Netflix Bee selves.

Someone would surely get to the set before I do. It will be important to know because if he don't have that legendary tampo, I'm not buying.

Got the Buzzworthy Wirkds collide set and the QC is atrocious. Fangey sucks, HARD. And Primal's chest is very loose along with with the bicep swivel.

I've got the loose chest on Nemesis Primal, but not the bicep issue. My Fangry isn't great, but isn't terrible either. The main QC issue on mine is loose knees, but not too loose to stand up and pose. Everything else is fairly tight. The only other issue is the legs/tail in alt mode not wanting to stay tabbed together or being finicky, but all 3 monster bots were pretty similar there, so I expected that.
Bee is nice and tight, haven't transformed Blackarachnia yet but bot mode is tight so far.

Huh, I need to open mine then. I grabbed the only Worlds Collide set and one of the Origin Bee figures. Brickseek didn't show any of the WC sets, so I was surprised to find it.
I really like Origin Bee, and I wasn't interested when first announced. I feel the fuel rods don't serve much purpose since the tips are more than 5mm. So unless we get a boxy Wheeljack that can carry them, they just kind of sit there.

It could only be TRU. And it was only 109$. It will probably be on 20% discount within 3 months and at that price it will be a pretty good deal.

If I ever get that box, it will be only on sale. And if I miss out, no biggie.
But Origin Bee, that's a must.

What's the Origin Bee DCPI? And do we know if the Deluxes for this set off BuzzWorthy figures are solid packed or if there are gonna others?

Origins Bee DCPI is 087-16-3816, but it isn't working on Brickseek. He is in solid cases. The Studio Series Deluxes are in versus 2-packs with Clunker Bee vs Barricade, VW Bee vs Car Dropkick and Evasion Bee vs Stinger. The 2-packs are in cases of 4 with Clunker Bee vs Barricade double packed.

Yeah, Brickseek didn't show anything for Origin Bee or the Worlds Collide set in my area but I found both.

Ah, okay thank you. Good to know it's solid cases, that pretty much alleviates the temptation to pay for one of the overpriced copies on ebay

It being a solid case means nothing if you store never gets a case. Thrust and Runabout were all solid cases too.

True, but my Targets have been good about getting the exclusives, albeit a bit later than the rest. And even though they weren't stocking as much during Earthrise, they still stocked Thrust and Runabout for a couple weeks despite Earthrise already having supply issues. So I'd rather wait a couple weeks to see what they pull out, especially with the upcoming restock for August, rather than spend $50 on a deluxe that's just now starting to release

This may not be a perfect toy, but it fulfills a (nearly) lifelong dream. It is not an exaggeration to say this is everything I have ever wanted from a toy.

I just picked up 2 Origin Bumblebee's today. The woman had to pull them out of the back. And I shit you not, the very first thing she said was "THESE TINY THINGS ARE $22 EACH???".
Regular people are noticing how badly Hasbro is screwing us on the prices. You can ignore all the Hasbro apologists. If Buzzworthy Bumblebee is aimed at children & parents are saying this, that can't be a good sign. How many more price hikes can Hasbro get away with before it starts to have a negative effect?
This Origin Bumblebee is half figure & half empty box & people are noticing. And Hasbro is so cheap they didn't even bother to close it in with plastic, the window is open which adds to the cheap feel of it. I don't like being ripped-off but the Cybertronian modes have always been the main things I've always wanted from G1. So I had to get him. Now I hope they make Wheeljack.

Hasbro is moving away from plastic packaging as part of its sustainable efforts.
"This is so overpriced I only bought two!" is a heck of an argument, dude. Not sure you're sending a strong message of dissatisfaction to Hasbro.

He wasn't talking about himself, he was referring to the casual who barely know anything about the hobby. That's why for them, there's Cyberverse figures with fun gimmicks and a huge for the same price, but are light, hollow, and have not many parts.
