Bumblebee Movie Toys Rereleased Through Buzzworthy BB Rise of the Beasts Line

Gonna see lots of empty boxes on Target shelves.

One steps have been sold like this for half a decade now and there's been no pushback from retailers for this type pf packaging, so theft must be minimal. Plus, there's nothing stopping thieves from just stealing the box. With self checkout, theft has been made really easy, regardless of packaging.

That RofB Optimus Prime Cab mode... always make me think of TMNT's Bebop for some reason.

...so remember when Kingdom Puffer & Road Ranger leaked, and the picture was scuffed because the individual that leaked it had covered it in slurs, so the version that was posted here was photoshopped to remove them? Yeah, uh, they did it again with the Toy Colors Scorponok from the Buzzworthy Legacy 4-pack and this time decided to doxx another leaker with it instead of putting slurs on it. So here's the shopped version of the image that I found: TFW users who saw the original version before it was taken down are attesting to the legitimacy of this being that same photo, and are also saying that the figure has both the show head sculpt attached and the visible mutant head next to it, meaning this stolen sample either came with both heads on accident (like Kingdom Blackarachnia and her "mask") or is going to do the same thing SG Magnus is doing and come with both heads.

So we've now seen leaks for half the 4-pack, just Ransack and Goldbug to go. I'm really hoping this one goes up on Pulse, since I never saw the Kingdom one at my Target and this one is looking better suited to my tastes than the Kingdom one (since the only figure I really wanted in that one was the one that shares my username).

That dude is 100% a total asshole. It's not the first time he doxxes someone.

Headsculpt looks pretty good

I’m hoping it does come with both heads. Options are great and please more fans. I hope Legacy Sandstorm comes with both heads so fans can recreate his in fiction design. The head shown so far is apparently the wrong one to many.

If the latter, then that bugs me even more that Sandstorm uses the Mutant head instead of his true head.

So, to those of you that have picked up Silverstreak/Bluestreak, how's the quality of it? I've heard mixed things about the Datsun mold, but not too much about Silverstreak specifically

This is the only version of the mold I own, so others may have more helpful insight, but everything about him seems good to me. The only thing I would say is that the shoulder guns are slightly loose in their pegholes, but I don't know if that's normal or not and even then it's pretty nitpicky. That, and when I first transformed him, he made a surprisingly/alarmingly-loud click noise when I got the legs in place, but it's been fine since then, and again, that may just be normal, I wouldn't know.

Does the plastic and joints feel solid? This is specifically an issue I've had with other Buzzworthy figures but some have had really loose joints and some felt like they had cheaper plastic than mainline releases of the molds

he's no different quality-wise than any of the other Datsun molds. The only one I feel "protective" of is Prowl, and that's down to the inability to replace him. Ironically, he's been transformed more than any of the others.

People who had 'problems' were either saddled with a bad copy or perhaps were ham-fisted handling the toy.

Recently I considered kit-bashing a more accurate Prowl using the Silverstreak legs but I canceled the project, again because of the availability of Prowl should I need a replacement.

Oh, he's great on both accounts there. My copy has a shoulder that's slightly too tight, even.

The only thing that irks me with Silverstreak is the sloppy paint job on the shoulders. They’re cast in white plastic, painted over in blue, but only on the outsides. The way the shoulders are assembled exposes some of the inner shoulder. That would be fine, but the edges on the blue paint are absolute slop. It’s true on almost every copy I’ve seen.

If anyone is looking for Origins Bee, he is absolutely shelfwarming here. These have been here since before Christmas. which is a shame, he is a great toy

I guess this is the place to ask this Target-related question...

Does anyone know:
Does Target do store-to-store shipping??
And do they fulfill online orders by pulling product from store shelves (not just online order pick-up)?

Here's why I ask...
Less than a week ago, as I was hunting for Kickback, Dragstrip, and Silverstreak, my go-to location had 4 SS86 Kups, and 2 Blurrs. There were also 4 BW Megatrons.
Literally less than 2 days later, ALL 4 Kups and 1 Blurr were gone. ALL 4 Megatrons were gone.
Oh, and during the first visit, there were 5 Buzzworthy Kups...
Just a little strange that 4 SS8 Kups would sell and not 1 of the Buzzworthy versions.
Also, both B-127's and that one CJ have been there as long as those 5 Kups as well.
Anyway.

The photos below are from roughly an hour ago.
We stopped by so my son could get a birthday present for a friend.
Surprisingly there are still 5 Buzzworthy Kups... And you can see the lone SS86 Blurr still there, too.

Again, it just seems so unlikely that those 4 SS86 Kups AND 4 BW Megatrons sold in under 48 hours.
I mean, those two stops I made were really pretty close to 36 hours apart.

I get it, it's possible that all 8 of those figures sold... It just seems so unlikely.

????




Also, you can't see them all, but this store STILL has 8 SS86 Coronation Starscreams...
I'm already so sick of seeing those...

If he was to go on sale like Road Rage recently did for only $16 I would definitely buy a second Bee!

Probably not, for both of those? Distribution centers exist for a reason.

Not really that strange, considering how hard it is to tell the difference between them and the fact that the Buzzworthy ones are more expensive at your store according to your pictures. Little Jimmy buying a Kup and/or the parents buying a Kup for Little Jimmy are almost assuredly going to grab the cheaper option unless they have a specific reason not to, and I don't think casual buyers like that are paying attentions to things like the color of his tires.

To add some details:

Target has multiple shipment and store holding options, and their availability varies by product and even store. As others note above, shipping comes from distribution centers, whether ship-to-home or ship-to-store. For some products and stores, you can order online and pick up in-store for products that are on their shelves, but they generally won't ship store-to-store or store-to-home. I'd actually asked in the past when there was a set available at a store pretty far from me.

So all that is to say, one way or another, someone probably did go into that store and buy those.
