First Look at New Botbots Packaging + New Sets are now In Stock

The animals are very "Beast Wars Happy Meal" and I love them! Some other interesting ones in there, hope they make it into stores this time around so I can pick the sets I want and reduce the chance of duplicates.

Amazon is preparing to ship their pre-orders now as well. All 4 are due to arrive Wednesday for me. Oof, this just became a very expensive month.

There are figures shipping from other lines that weren't even due until next year. It would be nice if retailers like BBTS, Amazon or Target gave you the option to hold your order and charge you at the original date.

Got my Pulse update that the racecar set is getting ready to ship as well, I am really excited for that

We've been waiting since April 2021 for the Botbots vehicles and now that they are finally in the question is, are they good toys? And will they be fine for the target audience? Fellow Seibertronian Chuckdawg breaks that down for us below.

I was right, it's been over a year.

For those curious, the individual packs are lettered A-X instead of numbered 1-24, so we will be able to see who is who before opening them once someone who ordered a whole case decides to open theirs and the info gets to tfwiki.

I am not that person. I'm not sure if these will make it to stores, so I ordered the case and will sell off the 16 that are duplicates and saving the 8 unique ones for Christmas. For wave 5, they never made it to stores by me and buying the 8 individual unique bots from that wave on ebay ended up costing more than a case would have.

Pulse charged me for my vehicle sets, I am actually really looking forward to some BotBots rides

I got the 2 vehicle Botbots playsets. more thoughts incoming later this week, but so far they are proving to be fun if maybe needing a little more to them

Finally paired the Lost bots up with the Raceroni. Dimlit is still in a moving tote sadly

Sweet! The botbots are part of Hasbro Pulse's 25% off sale for premium members that I just took the plunge on today. I pre-ordered the whole set from Amazon, but have only opened the 5-packs so far and have until November 30th to return them.

I'll take 25% off the 8-packs, vehicles and individuals, sure thing.
