Kroger has a history of breaking street dates since they're a regional grocery store with a small selection of toys. Have they been found and purchased at Walmart or Target yet?

I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping to pick up that big Power Charge Bee until I saw it's going for $50 - I was hoping for $25-30 tops. To be fair it's a bit bigger than I expected, but I'll just wait fir the Masterpiece instead.

Then I stand by what I said since I know they're showing up at Canadian Walmarts. It's stupid for Hasbro to impose street dates on us in the US-only while the rest of the world is weeks ahead of us.

If you're asking everyone, I'd get Studio VW Bee and Shadow Raider, legion VW Bee, Barricade and maybe Optimus. If you're asking just Emerje, then my bad

There's a couple Igniters I want. I've already pre-ordered Speed Series Optimus off HTS so I could qualify for a coupon, but if I could have found him locally I might already have him before I knew about the coupon.

I am having trouble understanding how finding him locally would have been the better outcome then :-?

Easy, I would have had it sooner and I would have used the coupon on something else I wanted and would have liked a discount on. But it really isn't about what I want from this line, it's about Hasbro's constant use of meaningless street dates, not just here, but with Studio Series and every other place they randomly choose to impose them. It wouldn't be an issue if they were world wide, but it's just us, it's frustrating.

Oops, good point. In that case I'll swap out Shadow Raider for that Takara Legendary Optimus Prime (preordered him on HLJ) and add Masterpiece Bumblebee who I have on preorder from BBTS. That Optimus looks beautiful (finally, properly placed chrome on him!), my only disappointment being he doesn't scale with Studio Series. I have my Evasion Primes for that though

Is it possible that Legendary prime was made to scale to power charge bee?

Power Charge Bee is massive for a Bee though.
Makes Studio Series Leader Class Grimlock look small.

Well holy CRAP, I take mack my complaints - that justifies the $50 price tag. I'll add a new complaint and say I wish he was a little smaller because that's a size I don't even want him at, but he still looks good and fairly complex and he looks infinitely better than the other oversized figures we've been getting.

Yeah he doesn't really go with anything, but is a muchly fun chunky Bumblebee toy all by himself to entertain the kids (and some adults) particularly at christmas when the film is out.

For a moment there I forgot how big that bee was #-o

Legendary Prime is either going to be the same size or smaller :lol:

oh well, back to the drawing board

Coming at us from the upcoming Transformers Bumblebee Movie, and one of the currently still previously unseen products in the line, we have the first images of the Energon Igniters Power Plus Series Shatter - which features a different headsculpt for the Decepticon triplechanger, as well as a proper look at the toy form of the character's muscle car mode!

The toy was found at the OG Albert store in Singapore from user Ashiaka of fellow fansite TFW2005, who also shared images of the box from a variety of angles. You can check out the mirrored images below, and let us know what you think in the Energon Pub discussion boards!

I want him specifically because he will go PERFECTLY with my golden Battle Ops Bee and my Prime "stealth" talking Weaponizer Bee.
