Have you ever seen those blind bag type spheres in stores? A few companies do it, like Zuru, and their next blind ball set will be Transformers themed. It will be a set of 10 non transforming figures and vehicles showing the main characters in their evergreen looks. The gold Bumblebee alt mode will be the chase. These should be out in late summer, you can check out the images below.

Figures in this set include:

Optimus Prime (alt mode)
Bumblebee (alt mode)
Megatron (alt mode)
Soundwave (alt mode)
Bumblebee (alt mode)
Wheeljack (alt mode)
Golden Bumblebee (alt mode)
Optimus Prime (robot mode)
Bumblebee (robot mode)
Megatron (robot mode)

Hmmm, have Op's wipers ever been as prominent as on this bot mode figure?

They wrote "Bumble Bee" on the box, hope they fix that before release.

TF fan Kevin posted images as a response to our post about Zuru’s Transformers themed blind balls. Now we know the content, which also includes a sticker, a card and kinetic sand. You can check the images below. These should be out in the US in the summer.

That Wheeljack.... ooh, that Wheel jack... somehow it will be mine.

Not interested in anything else, though that chase gold Bee, that looks suspiciously like Armada Hot Shot is kind of interesting.

What's the fifth surprise?

Figure/Car
Card
Sticker
"Floam?"
???

Is it really a weapon? Wait, are you missing Wheeljack's gun?

So the roof-guns in the stock photos aren't hidden inside the floam sand?

I bet these things sell for around $8, and they're full of stuff you could find individually at a dollar store...

My wife is addicted to the Zuru Garden Capsule blind balls and honestly the only good thing I can say about them is that they've gotten her to lay off about MY collecting habits.

I actually like the stickers and cards....if anyone has a full set of only the stickers and cards to buy (but more specifically the cards), DM me.

Is there a way to know specific toy is inside without having to open? Does feeling the balls help? A gentle squeeze perhaps?
