Have you ever been there? It LOOKS great on the surface, but it actually has a worse selection than your average TRU. Unless you're looking for shelfwarmers, which they have in spades. They carry a small (and crappy) selection, but they put 20 of every figure on the shelf so it looks nice.

ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS TELEPODS 2014 PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Autobirds, ‘roll out!’ The epic battle for Piggy Island has begun as two of the world’s largest and most popular entertainment brands join together to create the all-new ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS franchise. This Fall, the fast-paced, flying adventures of ANGRY BIRDS is combined with the iconic TRANSFORMERS characters to present ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS TELEPODS, a high-octane digital and physical play experience featuring iconic TRANSFORMERS characters in ANGRY BIRDS form.
When the mysterious Egg Spark lands on Piggy Island, RED BIRD becomes OPTIMUS PRIME Bird, CHUCK (YELLOW BIRD) becomes BUMBLEBEE Bird, and a whole new environment filled with TRANSFORMERS-inspired vehicles, rivalries, and raceways appears. The ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS lineup and TELEPODS gaming platform, powered by Retoy, offers fans ‘MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE’ with three different ways to play. Launch TELEPODS figures in vehicle mode for awesome races, convert them into robot mode to reenact classic TRANSFORMERS battles, or teleport figures straight into the ANGRY BIRDS TRANSFORMERS app from Rovio Entertainment to unlock additional characters and special powers.

Great! I'm tired of people who don't live in America telling Americans on how to behave. Mind your own business unless you'd like to tell me your country of origin (probably one without manners) so I can make snarky remarks about you.

The Angry Bird toys found earlier in this thread are also found at Target so the line as a whole is not exclusive, just some products.

The ones that actually transform seem to be the exclusives.

My apologies I realise now I generalised it to much as not all Americans complain about the price of Transformers but of the collectors who do complain the majority tend to be American based (which has more to do with the high ratio of American collectors to other countries) but a fact is a fact and not a snarky remark the forums here are full of people complaining about prices which are actually very cheap for example here in Australia (feel free to make snarky remarks about me now you know my country) $20.00 legends, $30.00 deluxe, $50.00 voyager and $100.00 leader prices vary with sales and such but this is the general amount and I have no problem paying this I understand prices change and If I have a problem with the price I won't buy it. I understand complaints about the figures themselves as the quality has dropped. Complaints on prices I find tiresome especially when it is complaining of a price which even after conversion (+ postage for those who import) still much less then the same item in other countries. I was not intending to be snarky and was not telling you how to behave merely expressing an opinion.

Anyway, I'm so on the fence with these toys. Not because they don't look fun, but because I know myself and worry that if I buy one and enjoy it then there's gonna be a whole shelf full of 'em, just like what happened with Bot Shots

Did the Bumblebee/Grimlock race set ever show up at retail? I never saw it at a store ... but I wasn't really looking for it either. I saw all of the Angry Birds Transformers on sale for BOGO 40% off a week or so in early December and that was the last time I looked. I figured they'd be blowing them out at a greater discount later if they weren't selling. Boy was I wrong!
Does anyone know the retail price of the Jenga sets? They're available on Amazon but I don't know how much the markup is on those sets there.

Some of you may be wondering, "So what?" Well, while we previously reported how these had been sighted in Canada several months ago, no US sighting was ever reported, and the awfully high aftermarket prices had many assuming these were completely canceled for the US market. Alas, at least for those of us with an Ollie's nearby, "Market Six" has come through like an old reliable watchdog once again, saving us from the putrid husk of overpriced Amazon listings.
Remember, if you see a sighting out there that you think is way cool, there are several things you should do!
- If your sighting is news, or in other words, you think no one on Seibertron.com has posted a news story about anyone in your region (US, Canada, UK, Europe, Asia, wherever!) finding this toy or mechandise at retail, let us know at sightings@seibertron.com or news@seibertron.com. Be sure to let us know your username on the site, where you found it, how much it was, and include a picture if at all possible. Emailing the news staff is the only way to get magical "News Credit" points for your sightings!
- News or not, let your other local collectors know by posting about it in your State or Region's Sightings and Meet-Ups thread.
- Be sure to also click it through in our awesome Sightings Database, and be sure to let us know if it isn't listed there. I'm about to do that with these right now
Keep on impulsively refreshing our homepage (because who needs to go outdoors when all the cool toys are indoors) for the latest and sometimes weirdest Transformers news here on Seibertron.com.

Me too. They sell out all the time at my TRU. Prety much anyone who plays the games would be up for buying these, if you are asking about a viable market.
