It really does. I'm one of the few that really wasn't expecting it to look good because, to me, that design and the Cybertron Wheeljack haven't aged well. Like a lot of sci-fi designs from the '80s. However, this looks like a cool toy.

Looks like primevsprime put up a review of the world's collide 4 pack already

I highly recommend using Target's Circle app for anyone that will be hunting for the Buzzworthy Worlds Collide 4-pack this week. They sent me a $15 of a toy purchase of $75 or more good through July 31st, that will work perfectly for this. I also have a separate $15 of any $75 purchase good through September 1st, but I'm not sure if they will let me double dip, hopefully I'll find out this week.

Note, not everyone will receive the same offers, so it's worth looking to see what you might get.

I used mine on T-Wrecks, Scorponok, and Wingfinger earlier. I might try again once the Buzzworthy 4 pack comes up

So, has anyone actually found the worlds collide set at Target today? I've been stalking the 3 closest to me and none of them look like they are getting ready for anything new.

I'm wondering if the snafu of shipping some of them to Walmart instead of Target is going to mess up distribution and the timing of when they will be available.

I've seen posts about Walmart and Target preparing for shelf resets as both back-to-school and holidays are coming. I expect to see some endcaps within the next couple of weeks but I don't know what toyline they will be. Probably Star Wars and Transformers. Hopefully, this reset will bring some product from the current waves.

Just checked mine this morning before work, the cases of saucer bee and worlds collide expected today and tomorrow were pushed back to 8/11 for bee and 8/04 for worlds collide. Bee comes in solid cases of 8, worlds collide in cases of 3, if anyone was curious.

So Fangry does have extremely loose knee joints. I fixed mine with a couple dabs of super glue to tighten up the pin joints. Works great now.

Pins and rivets have always been a hit-and-miss in terms of tightness in my experience. Anyone else with similar experiences?

All found at Walmart so far.

If they let you buy them. Some are saying they'll show up at Target next week, which makes sense since Target is now clearancing out the old BB stuff.

Thanks for the heads-up!
I snagged 1/2 left at the Target by me... Not 100% sure I'm going to keep him, but every time I saw this previously, it was laughable to me that it was $15.
This Bee really is tiny, and he'll look a bit odd next to any other minibot.
Still, the price being < $8 ($7.74 w/ the 'ol Red Card) has me at least on the fence.
I know that's not much $, but I've decided to keep the Ark on preorder, as well as 2 Sweeps, Slag, Wreck-gar, Gnaw (I want to end up with 3 eventually), and Selects Galvatron. I'm also most likely going to snag a Kup when he's repacked this fall/winter.
So I'm really trying not to add to that $400+... We'll see.

New images of saucer bumblebee tuna are on instagram, saw them on the account @blastatime

Saucer Bee looks so neat. I am excited for that one

Man, that Buzzworthy Bumblebee line went from being loathed by fans to becoming the line with the hottest products. Case in point, the Origins Bumblebee figure that most people want right now. Well the wait is over soon since it has been found at Target in the US. This specific sighting by Tarzana, who posted it on the TFW forums, is from a Target in Dallas, Texas. They also took pictures of this figure in comparison to the other WFC Bumblebee. It seems to have a rather involved transformation. And while there is little alt mode integration, for obvious reasons, the chest is not made of fake kibble, which is pretty cool.

I'll monitor my local TrU like a hawk to spot that Bee. :michaelbay:

In a few ways I like it better than the NF version, but in a few others I wish it were more like the NF version.
And since I could never find that one, I’ll be heavily considering this.

Netflix Bumblebee is like my holy grail. Where I have access to, preorders sold out before I even notice there were preorders.
I have never seen any of that particular wave of the shelves in my neck of the woods either. Only an Amazon listing that prices it at almost $200.

Have this Buzzworthy Bee on preorder so I don't have to hunt for him now.

Where can you pre-order it?

Is it only Red Card?

A few international online stores have preorders, like this one

It's not a redcard exclusive.

Greetings Seibertronians!

Thanks to fellow Seibertron user PrimeVsPrime, we now have the video review of the highly anticipated Transformers Buzzworthy Bumblebee ORIGIN BUMBLEBEE video review.

This is the first brand new deluxe mold in the Buzzworthy line. This Bumblebee is in his Cybertronian mode as he appeared in the very first episode of the original G1 cartoon. He looks as if he just popped out of the screen with minimum kibble and nearly perfect screen accuracy. It's also the first time ever that this Bumblebee in this mode has been made in toy form officially.

Bumblebee comes with his blaster, a jetpack, and energon rods. All brand new molds as well. His transformation is pretty involved for his size and there are no partsforming at all. Unfortunately, the energon rods won't peg anywhere in either mode.

Feast your eyes on this magnificent figure down below:

What do you think of this figure? Please leave a comment!

News Credits: 101 · Sat Jul 24, 2021 12:08 pm

I just have to say...

WOW.

When this will pop in at my Toys R Us, I'll be buying this for sure!
I just hope that there will be enough units to FLOOD the market so make scalpers cry.
