Unless I really want an exclusive from the BWBB line, everything is going to be a hard pass. The way Toys r Us increase the prices of transformers exponentially, I will no longer shop there.

Weren't those TMNT Movie II figures JUST announced?

So, will this get people to finally stop denying that Cliffjumper will have painted windows or will they still insist the Target release will have clear windows? >:oP

What about clear windows painted over? :lol:

All silliness aside, I'm biased towards clear windows, but the BB one seems less fragile... :-?

That Super Shredder has been out for a good while. I've seen it at a bunch of Walmarts.

I checked three Targets on the way home today. No new Buzzworthy stuff, just more restocks of "Origins" Bumblebee. I got marginally excited when one of them had an endcap for Transformers, but it was just overstock of the same stuff that's been out for months now.

I hope the listings go up on Targets site soon. I want to get B-127

Don't count on it. I don't think they listed the previous individual SS releases or the 2-packs online, they were in store only. It seems they only list their exclusives that come in solid cases online anymore (T-Wrecks, Road Rage, Worlds Collide, etc.)

I haven't seen a figure from a mixed case of any size listed on their site since Kingdon Galvatron for WFC or Bee movie Thrust for SS.

They did though? I have seen every single Buzzworthy release on Target.com at one point or another. That's where I ordered 3 of the deluxes I got from the line so far

Just picked up Kup and Cliff at Target. They had B-127 as well.

Do you have links? I can’t find them with a search of Target.com.

Emerje

The windows are painted. I'll post pictures when I get a minute.

I finally found BB Kup! He really does look worlds better with the corrected colors and additional detailing and paint applications. B-127 was there too, but no Cliffjumper. I can wait to pick up B-127 later, but I really wish I had found Cliffjumper too.

Last three days of the month in the car business sucks. Anyway, here's the pic -

I haven't opened them yet because I'm trying to decide if I want to do this YouTube video. Anyway, for now you can see the difference. Kup is really a faded version of the Studio Series 86 version, and Cliffjumper is using cartoon colors, even if they aren't exactly right. I think the grays should be a darker gray, but I'm dead wrong. LOL

I'm sitting out this wave of BB deluxes. I have all 3 already and the deco differences on Kup and Cliff, and the unmasked face for B-127 don't do enough for me to want to track them down and sell off my originals. In fact, I think I actually prefer all original decos on B-127 and Cliff even if they aren't as accurate as these are. Kup I'm flat out indifferent on, so the one I have wins out of one I'll have to find. Plus Amazon shipping out the SS/SS86 deluxes this week means I don't have to go hunting for anything.

Now, if Target puts them on sale next week that may be another story...

BB Kup and Cliffjumper up on Pulse

Edit: B127 too, all showing pre-order date of 10/1/22, which I assume is not accurate

I just noticed that and was going to comment on the same thing. The date is definitely weird.

In even more weirdness, they also have Kingdom core Soundwave up for pre-order again due also in October, which should be well after his Legacy repack hits shelves. :???:

It's the same date as the new Bumblebee movie Studio Series figures, so they might have loaded them with the same placeholder. The new SS86 preorders are dated 8/1/22, however.

Cliffjumper just sold out.

Kingdom Core Soundwave is now showing as in-stock, not as a pre-order.

Edit: Kup is now showing in stock, so I assume he and Cliffjumper will be shipping immediately, in line with Target availability.
