Seems Origin Bumblebee finally caught up with Target's distribution issues, finally becoming abundant. Same can't be said for the Worlds Collide set, still haven't seen that one in stores yet.

Hopefully it will be on Clearance, it's past the holidays and it has been in stores in places. Me wants that spider!

I haven't even heard a rumored release date until you said this, I wasn't expecting these until at least February

Oh, I could very well have my wires crossed on that.

You aren't making it up, I double-checked, JTPrime said when those two first appeared that they were dated for 12/30 internally in the Target systems.

My local Target still had one a few days ago. How desperate are you?

Oh, I have one, managed to be at the right place at the right time and got one on Target.com. It was just an observation. Thanks though.

According to Target's internal listings the street date is Jan 31st, so right about now would be the earliest I would expect them to show up, if at all before the street date.

We’re they not street dated for December 31 previously?

I don't think so, Jan 31st was the only date I recall.

That is what was said when the figures were first discovered, yes.

Why would it be anything other than painted windows? It's not like we were looking at leaked samples from the factory before, he's been in Asian shops since early December.

If we end up with clear windows then Asia got one heck of a rare exclusive (which I want because I prefer painted windows).

Greetings all! Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Worleybird056, we have an interesting new store listing to bring to you. Searching through the internal store listings, they found a listing for a "Transformers BB Legacy Voyager Dinobot", as can be seen below. Given that the Buzzworthy Bumblebee (BB) line is exclusive to Target, we can guarantee this figure's release at Target in the U.S. The not yet officially confirmed blue Bluestreak is rumored to come out on the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line as a Legacy add on to that line, as well. Though what the figure is that belongs to this listing remains to be seen. Could it be a re-release of Kingdom Dinobot in a different color scheme? Could it possibly be an 86 movie version of Swoop, at the Voyager size class? We are getting 86 movie figures in this line, after all.

Feel free to speculate away on this listing below! Let us know what you think this figure might be.

If its a BW Dinobot repaint the only repaints I could see them doing is the original Toy Colors repaint and or the Fox Kids repaints.

News Credits: 11 · by **Lore Keeper** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:04 pm

My money is on toy colors with the head they used for Grimlock.

News Credits: 12 · by **Sentinel_Primal** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:06 pm

I'm willing to bet toy colors/Mutant masked Dinobot given the inclusion of toy Scorponok in this line.

As a side note, wouldn't it make more sense if the line was renamed Worlds Collide as a whole, given that it's not just characters related to Bee, with the four packs getting new names?

News Credits: 1641 · by **D-Maximal_Primal** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:07 pm

Hmm, I wonder if maybe we get a Code of Hero damaged Dinobot

News Credits: 1 · by **Worleybird056** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:16 pm

This is kinda reaching but what if it's a Dinomus retool but they're just calling it Dinobot?

by **Brutal brawl** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:22 pm

My guess is its his transmetal version from the final season of beast wars aka dinobot 2

I'm just confused with the BB Legacy labelling

News Credits: 42 · by **TF-fan kev777** » Mon Jan 24, 2022 7:37 pm

Interesting that they are doing a Voyager as a standalone figure under BB. I wonder if they will keep with the WFC shaped boxes for BB or switch to the Legacy shaped boxes at some point in the future since they just debuted a new design for the upcoming deluxe wave and I'm not sure it would work on the Legacy shape.

Same... My gut tells me this will be just some repaint (and possible retool) of BW Dinobot...
Would they really release Swoop in a store-exclusive line??
I know it probably wouldn't be shocking, and maybe they would since it's not leader class...
But IF it's THE Swoop that's supposed to match the two SS86 Dinobots, I will be very, very surprised.

I'm not, not after we just got a Titans Return retool in a BB WFC box. They're just using the name of whatever the latest non-SS Generations line is.

The BB line has long since evolved from a line related to Bee to Target's exclusive Transformers line using Bee as the face of the line since Bee sells.

We already got toy colors Blackarachnia and we know we're getting a toy color Scorponok and there's the theory of a toy color Terrorsaur coming in BB so a toy colors Dinobot is a pretty logical conclusion.

Part of me wants it to be Kingdom Dinobot in yellow...

Now that would generate some buzz! Let's get Megatron repainted as Optimus Prime while we're at it.

I think you might be right, especially with the reasoning behind the line name.
