2021 is right at our doorstep so the Transformers due out first quarter were bound to appear sooner or later. And now, we have US sightings of the Transformers Studio Series 86 voyagers and deluxes. Voyagers Hot Rod (who you'll recall is deluxe height) and Scourge were spotted at Target in Murrieta, CA today. We thank fellow Seibertronian Rysquad for letting us know. The Deluxes were found by Alchemist Prime Reviews (on youtube), who wrote to us, in Long Beach California. We have a receipt below. The deluxes in that case are Blurr, Kup and Jazz.
And while not exactly a studio series figure, those take up a big part of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line and the two pack with Spike was also found at Target, this time in Chicago. The source for the sighting is a post on TFW.
The Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee line sure is odd. I am still baffled by the use Bumblebee's evergreen design on the box when so far no toy in this surprise line sports that design and now it's quite odd that this line is being found at retail when it still has not been announced. Maybe it's just to have more Bumblebee toys on the shelves, who knows. The Studio Series rereleases (or prerelease for one of them) have been found at Target. So this might be a Target exclusive line, once again we know very little about this line. The toys found were BB-15 15 Bumblebee & Charlie, BB-26 WWII Bumblebee, BB-40 Shatter and BB-74 Camaro Bumblebee & Sam, which all sport their Studio Series numbers.
But that is not all, fans were also surprised to see another Buzzworthy release that none of us knew was happening, a rerelease of the movie Mega One Step, also at Target. The deluxes are 19.99 and were found in Georgia according to this Reddit post, while the giant one step is 29.99 and was found in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, by sdtessmann. For those wanting it, the DPCI# is 087-16-7189.
Transformers MP 51 Masterpiece Arcee is shipping from online retailers at the end of this month and it has even appeared in some shops like Takashiyama in Singapore. Cybertron21 has released a transformation video which you can see below. This will close the year of Arcee where each line had an Arcee release, be it Studio Series, War for Cybertron, Cyberverse and Masterpiece. Oddly enough, while the Masterpiece should be the most cartoon accurate it has a rather inacurate chest. In the cartoon, Arcee has a pink upper torso and a small white collar around her neck but here it makes it look like her collar is part of her torso, and the front of the torso begins below her shoulders. It's like her back half and her front half are not in synch with one another. Feel free to share your thoughts on the matter now that we can see exactly how she transforms and which sacrifices were made.
The Singapore sighting was reported on TFW2005 by their member Automorpher.
If anyone out there just wants their Transformers Kingdom figures NOW rather than wait for the chance to find them at retail, well they are available. We were informed that BBTS just got the deluxe figures in. Those include Warpath, Cheetor, Paleotrex and Blackarachnia. They are $21.99 USD each and ship worldwide (though shipping can get rather pricey for fans outside the US). All these toys can be purchased here.
If ever you do find these toys at retail, which hopefully happens sooner rather than later, please let us know.
Walmart Canada has some new Transformers toys that were not seen in the country before. These are the 10 inch Grimlock and Starscream from the Authentics line. They are leader sized but at the deluxe price. So very simple, yet big and inexpensive for younger fans to have a big transforming toy that they can transform by themselves and that wont break the bank. These use the Evergreen designs we have seen in the past.
They were 19.99 CAD, 15 USD. The previous wave was exclusive to Walmart in Canada, so this will probably be the same. You can see images of the toys along with their transformation schemes below.
While the Studio Seires SS 86 voyagers were found in Australia a few days ago, it was in the small chain, Toyworld. But now, they have been found in Kmart. And not only that, but the SS 86 deluxe class toys, Jazz, Kup, & Blurr, have also been found there. Ozformers posted about this on their Facebook page providing info on the exact location and why they think they were put on shelves early:
When the Voyagers were found at a couple of Toyworlds in Victoria last week, it was assumed to be another case of Toyworld releasing toys too early, but today they were being found at Kmart stores in Victoria, along with the Deluxe wave as well... so it looks like this next wave of Studio Series toys, featuring characters from the 1986 Transformers Movie, are indeed being released early in Australia (before any other country), to cash in on Christmas.
Fingers crossed we see these at more stores around the country, and the Leader pack (Grimlock with Wheelie) as well.

It seems some big box stores were not going to put their Transformers orders on the shelves and sold them off to Winners (what TJMaxx goes by in Canada). Wave 4 of the Cyberverse deluxes has been found there in a few provinces, meaning that Canada's first sighting of deluxe Thunderhowl is at Winners (or Marshalls, which is the exact same store). They also stocked up on other Transformers toys at discounted prices. Here is a rundown of what you may find at a Winners or Marshalls under the Cyberverse line:
Deluxe for $19.99
Scouts for $9.99
1 Steps for $7.99
Battlecall Officer Class for $49.99
Also, the Netflix deluxe wave 2 toys were found in British Columbia and Alberta.
Friend to the site Elitabeth-1 has written to let us know of all that Five Below has to offer related to Transformers this holiday season, which make fun stocking stuffers. This is an American discount store chain where almost everything is $5 or less.
In the images sent we see Cyberverse one step toys, the cheaper evergreen styled toys, Botbots exclusives, Cyberverse scouts, Titan Masters and some apparel as well.
Finally, the figure most fans have been waiting for is showing up at Targets in the US. So far, Thrust has been found in various locations in California. There is no indication of street date, people were able to purchase him with no hassle. He comes in solid cases (meaning he is the only figure in the case) and sells for 29.99. The picture below comes from TFW user Free Trader who posted on those forums along with other users reporting a similar sighting.
Thrust has also been found in Singapore at Toysrus stores and should be showing up at Canadian Toysrus stores as well eventually.
