Amazon has them in stock, but it would be a crapshoot on which ones you end up with. I rolled the dice and ended up with the set with the flask and the telescope. Now I'm just waiting on the 5 and 8 packs to show up at retail to complete the rest of the series.

I wish I would get the ScottyP luck and have someone grab 2 different packages if I ordered 2

But I also noticed couple Listings for Botbots wave 4 8-packs without any photos yet and due in February 2020.

I think they actually mixed up the waves on these listings and actually gave us some sneak peek info on some new tribe themes for series 5. The link below is for 1 each of the Travel and Asian Food 8-packs.

I wound up with two sets of identical ones, so I only had one assortment of each and two I didn’t need. I was thinking of returning them and I went to Target and the two I needed were there! I got the ones I had but didn’t need and swapped them for what I found, so my set of four was complete. They were all gone quickly.
Be warned that the price is $20, which is more than $3 each for six Botbots per box. And yeah stickers are cool but I don’t wanna pay extra for them. Not a good value. But each set is necessary if you want ALL of Series 4. Only two in each box are visible, with only one in each box visible that’s different from the other assortment. And there’s codes under the box too that are different. After getting the 24 blind packs and these four sets I’m over halfway through with series 4. Waiting on the 5 and 8 packs to hit shelves so I can sift through them and not gamble with online randomness. I made a checklist using the Botbot list on tfwiki and I’m ready to pick and choose.

Can you share a breakdown maybe with pics, that would be newsworthy, or at least worthy to add to the story already, I wanted to grab them but was unsure of the contents

After seeing Starscream post in the botbots thread about an online retailer having some Series 5 in stock and on pre-order, I checked entertainment earth and they have the 8-packs in stock as well along with photos and the new tribe names.

The generic travel group is the Frequent Flyers and the generic Asian food group is the Hibachi Heats

Also, since I wasn't expecting to find them any time soon, I never looked up the "recommended buys" for this wave to see which ones entailed the least number of purchases to collect all the figures. Ergo, I stood there for about ten minutes debating which ones to buy, slowly whittling down my choices to four, then two simply based on which ones appeared in the fewest packs. Turns out the last two I eliminated were the "recommended buys," and the two I bought were superfluous. The figures I'd assumed were rare were going to be readily available in the five-packs.

The idea of BotBots and how they came to be stemmed from a meeting in the office of Senior Director of Global Brand Marketing Ben Montano. Talking with his team of designers, [Paulino] posed a simple question: "how do we create everyday objects that have more than meets the eye feel and what would it look like?"

"We wanted to keep the property a little bit loose, Paulino's team really brought what an apple or a sneaker brought to life would be," Montano said. "The seriousness that is most of our storytelling. just felt like it wasn't the best place to play here."
