New Transformers Bumblebee Movie Dropkick, Blitzwing, Ironhide and Soundwave Toys at Target.com

The April cover of the Japanese magazine “TV Magazine” has the full reveal of an exclusive redeco of the Energon Igniters Speed Series Bumblebee. We got the first glimpse of this figure a month ago. “Energon Charge” Bumblebee will be available through an offer with the magazine, with the figure now having all its yellow plastic cast in a clear yellow. We have mirrored the magazine cover below and the magazine is scheduled for release on the 15th April and can be ordered via the Japanese Amazon site here.



Has this exclusive got enough value to order a ¥1,058 magazine (approx. $10.00USD) plus post or is it simply too obscure or frivolous to bother with? Let us know in the comments section below here on Seibertron.com!

And they're gone.

Mostly, Ironhide is still around.

Wow, that was quick. You think there was very low stock or do you think there is actually a decent amount of demand for these?

According to my algorithm, it appears initial stock was low. Now, if the price of these when restock remains the same, then it might be a toss up

When I'll see that Soundwave in store, he'll be mine for sure! I'm not waiting for any sale.

ok... If only I had the time and money to sit and troll online to shop. Ugh...

That Soundwave is too cool just on principle... Just wish they splurged for some more paint apps, like the side windows. Just that would take it to the next level.

I Sooooo wish they would make a voyager of this Soundwave... Go for a gloss/metallic blue 70's conversion van. That would be sweet.

Probably more "low stock" in this particular case, but I think in general we all underestimate the demand for Bee Movie toys. Once that movie actually came out product started to move.

Obv no one but Hasbro and their retailers know for sure how successful the product is and they're not telling, but the anecdotal evidence is that something's going right with Bumblebee toys.

Hi guys I just found this rare toys in Maryland, I paid for those 5 time the price on ebay long time ago, never seen them in USA before... and they are $3 each I wish I could find that redeco cliffjumper

Legend TLK Dragonstorm is pretty common and can still be found locally at Toys R Us.
Ah, the joy of random inconsistent distribution!
Still, you misfired your post. Should have been at least in the TLK toy thread.

Toys R Us is DEAD over here!!!

My B&M shop closest to me still has a couple of legion dragonstorms... Somehow. I keep thinking about getting them but I know if I do I will have to get more.

You should, he's a surprisingly good figure for the size. I doubt you'd want more since he isn't exactly in scale with anything, he's just a fun figure to mess around with.

Distribution isn't even consistent between Five Below stores. I had to go outside my area to get my Dragonstorm back in November and my local store hasn't had a single Transformer since Christmas. Meanwhile BERSEKAEL's store even has Authentics in stock.

Oh I meant get more legion figures

ZeroWolf wrote:Oh I meant get more legion figures

That's what I meant! He doesn't exactly fit with anything else so there's no need to buy anything to go with him.

Hey, does anyone know how Power Series Shatter’s (the deluxe sized jet) head is attached?
Is it, like, on a ball joint, connected via a screw, or just plain molded on?

Planning to make a custom?

Potential face transplant with the Studio Series figure

Molded on, but you might be able to remove it.

It may be shocking to think that, as of now, Japan is still waiting for the premier of the new Bumblebee movie that most of the rest of the world has been enjoying now for months. In anticipation of this event, Japanese Transformers fans have a chance to win a special Bumblebee plush doll. The doll converts between a super-cute "chibi" version of movie Bumblebee and a Volkswagen Beetle. The transformation is a simple "open a zipper and turn it inside out" scheme seen on lots of other reversible plush toys. This cutie is a VERY limited production run of only 100. Residents of Japan can register to win one of these through the application linked from this website announcing the product. If you cannot read Japanese, here is a "Google Translate" version for English speakers. Check out the huggable little robot below.





Thanks to our own Seibertron.com member notirishman for alerting us to this adorable bit of Bumblebee merchandising. What do you think of this kawaii guy? Is this plush Bumblebee something you need in your collection? Let us know in the comments below, and keep tuned to Seibertorn.com for the latest news on all things Transformers!

Looks like some sort of alien... you know what I mean, not the robot type.

That Softbulbee will be sold for one gazillion of dollars on Ebay.

And it's a triple changer. It's creative, I'll give them that.

I remember these, my sister had some when we were kids.



Looks cute

Jeebles McCreebles that lil thing is CUTE!!

Totally Popples!

Triplechanger?...



Ooohhhh, the "bee" mode!

SO CUTE!!!!!

Yeah, cute as in TERRIFYING!!!

Hey guys, have the Nitro Series Blitzwing and Dropkick been found at retail? Cuz I found them at my Target, so maybe that's worth mentioning. Both retail for 30$ each there. I can't put pictures because I can't figure out how

Here's a video review of Dropkick. It's a fantastic figure.

Seibertron.com's coverage of NY Toy Fair 2019 continues with a gallery of the upcoming Bumblebee movie merchandise! Seibertron's own Seibertron himself and Megatronus have been diligently snapping pictures for our viewing pleasure. So without further ado, we have a selection of highlights -

Nitro Series Blitzwing



Nitro Series Dropkick



Mission Vision Shatter



Mission Vision Bumblebee



Energon Igniters Cliffjumper



Energon Igniters Ratchet



Energon Igniters Soundwave



The full gallery can be found here.

Have any of these figures caught your eye or has the entire Toy Fair given you such a #Buzz that your head is still spinning its wheels? Drop us a line here on Seibertron.com's Energon Pub and let us know!

they have energon igniters Soundwave,Ironhide, and Ratchet at Target here in Yuma,Arizona

Looks like whatever we know about is it from the Igniters line.

I don't recall seeing the others, but I definitely saw Igniters Blitzwing and Dropkick, as well as Legends class Cliffjumper at a Target. What I was looking for, though, was the new wave of Studio Series. I really want to see what Barricade, Sideswipe, and the others look like in hand

The only one I may end up getting is that pretty PIMP Soundwave.

Is that an RC Bumblebee on the very bottom middle? Looks like hood clips for a shell and an extended front bumper guard.

It's not everyday you walk into a store and find a toy you never even knew was coming if you are a fan living in this age of constant information. But it happened. When walking in the Transformers aisle at my local Toysrus in Montreal Canada, there was a whole new area of shelf space dedicated to the Bumblebee Test Track, a toy that was never brought to anyone's attention before. This is a figure 8 track for young kids to race radio controlled Bumblebee cars. It comes with Bumblebee both in his Beetle mode and Camaro mode. The price was $44.99 CAD (a little over $30 USD). If this interests you or your kids, you might want to stop by your local big box store since it being found in one place in North America means it is shipping out to all retailers.

You can see images of the product below along with the product listing from Toysrus.ca.

1:43 Transformers Bumblebee Slot Track Set - 286cm / 9.3ft

The track assembly is required and 6 x AA batteries are not included. Age 5 years and up. Track length: 286cm/ 9.3ft (Beginner level). 2 slot cars with working headlights. 2 wired controllers with turbo function. Track assembly is required. 6 x AA not included.

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.
