Does this make any sense? Is there something about the Worlds Collide set to make them handle it differently? I'm really confused. It feels like the forces of the universe are just trolling me now.

Nothing special about that specific 4-pack, just sounds like normal crappy distribution. My local store got them about a month after I found them at another larger store that is a little further away.

That's a hot set. Are you sure you simply didn't miss it when they got some in?

The woman said they never got them. I was calling every day for the first week. Now I'm just keeping an eye on their site.

I keep refreshing the webpage but who knows when they'll go active. I remember the Skywarp/Thundercracker set sat there for a while before being in stock.

Guess I'll miss out because no way am I going to pay more than normal retail for that.

If they do another round, what I want them to do is repaint Kingdom Waspinator black and yellow with a Bee head for a Bumblebee Bumblebee. It would be stupid and pointless and I would probably buy 2.
Was the line ever officially announced in the first place?

I also feel he was a bit overpriced as a "Deluxe" fig and should have been $15, not that that price pint exists anymore but they should have found a way. Still a great looking toy and one worth having if your a Fan of the character an especially in this Cybertronian form!

The info for the line is in the description of the products on Target's website. Hasbro just had Target handle all that. But it makes sense, this line is mostly non essential. It's just to have more product on the shelves.

The fact that you still bought it at that price is a good enough indication to Hasbro that they didn't need to find a way.

You want overpriced? How about that CORE Bee with that Sam who is more basic than a headmaster for 30 mother effing Canadian dollars?
What kind of sucker buy this at full price?

I did however get one thanks to our buddy Ironhidensh. I am really enjoying the set so far. Nemesis Primal is a surprising standout so far

He's just so cute!
Oh, and the kibble sticking out the back of the Worlds collide set is hilarious

Its an amazing figure, and I would kill to get a nice glyph out of it, in fact I'd much rather this be the figure that they use for all the bumblebee retools, so much better than the parts-forming one

Did I knock it loose while doing the part swap, and it's now lost among lose Lego and the rest of my messy toy room? I will probably never know.

The same thing happened to me when I took her out of the package. Actually taking her out of the cardboard knocked one of the legs off. I clip all the ties over a garbage can and heard something rattle in there when I was clipping. Noticed the missing leg right away, then proceeded to empty the garbage can one piece at a time until I found it.

But you got worlds collide 4 pack already, right? Those and Origins Bee showed up at the same time in the US. That is weird.

Not only have I not seen Origins 'Bee in my neck of the woods (Ohio), I haven't seen any new TF stock at any store in months save for two of those crash combiner sets (Prime/Grimlock and 'Bee/Swoop, I think). There's plenty of new stock of other lines, like G. I. Joe, Marvel, Fortnite, LEGO, and even completely new toy lines like Akedo, but there's a suspicious TF drought that's starting to become maddening.

Mine has been stocking stuff, even spotted three Ultra Magnuses today (Galvatron was long gone), but still no sign of that four pack. Now I have to check every chance I get since I managed to find an Origin Bee in a beat up box on the shelf when Target.com said it was out of stock in my store.

Target supposedly had them in stock one place over, but that was a lie made by the website...
I doubt we'll see a second wave of their distribution so that was probably the only time the four-pack will be stocked! Everyone prepare to pay 300 online.
If we're lucky we'll see a small run on Pulse (they did it with GO after the first pack was scalped to hell and back), but they haven't done that for any Target exclusives so far. Target probably wouldn't agree to the Pulse partner exclusive thing.

I think the more likely explanation is that the Buzzworthy product line may not be included since it includes non-Pulse product types. It could be something more mundane, too, like distribution challenges from the ongoing supply chain disruption.
Wait the Collabs were Target Exclusives? Theoretically couldn't Hasbro pick and choose specific Buzzworthy sets since they're sold separately from the "main" Buzzworthy products (rereleases)?
Either way I agree... but it's weird that it seems to be almost entirely Target exclusives that miss the Pulse release (though I could easily be missing non-Target ones since I'm not specifically looking for them).

Not all Collab products were Target exclusives, but a couple have been: the X-Men jet and the second version of the Ghostbusters Ecto-1, which tied into Afterlife.

Same with Draculus in the US I believe. Granted, he's a shared exclusive with Pulse, but I think it still counts if we're counting the X-Jet

I agree that the Midwest almost seems cursed when it comes to distribution...
However the W.C. 4 pack has been at my local Target for over a week now. 2 of them.
But there's been no Kingdom figures at all for over a week.
And strangely, there were 3 SS86 Grimlocks that showed up, but no Slags...
Yesterday there was also 3 BB/Barricade 2 packs on the shelf.
I'm so glad I have stuff on preorder with Amazon... I really was thinking I'd fine SS86 figures by now, but looks like it's not happening.

The robot hands and beast hands are practically the same, with just minor detailing that's barely noticeable due to the black. And in robot mode the beast hands just hang off the back of the arms. So I just keep the robot hands tucked in and use the beast hands in robot mode.
But then how does he hold his blaster
... Oh, right

Bumblebee is great, the pin on the roof joint makes life so much easier, and the weathering is actually really nicely done!
Barricade appears to be unchanged apart from the missing "punish and enslave" text, it's still kind of a pain to get into alt mode.
Overall I really enjoy this set (particularly Bee), the Buzzworthy line has been really cool!

Personally, I don't thing Clunker Bee is really good. It's not fun at all to handle that fiddly mess. As for the Barricade of that set, "censoring" his iconic catchphrase "To punish and enslave" is baffling and unforgivable.
I'm glad I found the original SS Barricade at my local geek store. Used, complete, and 5$ less than the normal brand new deluxe price. I think this is the best deluxe Barricade yet if I conveniently ignore that his waist just won't properly tab in his torso for reasons.

I remain of the opinion that TLK Barricade is my favorite retail Barricade, and the MPM is the best by far overall, but I understand my opinions tend to be in a minority.
As for Clunker Bee, I have that mold 3 times now, I still enjoy it.

I’ll be talking about this more in the Studio Series thread sometime soon, but I think Clunker Bee is really great.

Don't give up hope. I was ready to do so too since, every time I went to my Target for the past two months, the shelf space for the Worlds Collide set was always empty. After all that time of fruitlessness, I walked into Target two nights ago and was stunned to find three of the set FINALLY on the shelves.RK_Striker_JK_5 wrote:I'm probably never gonna get/find that Worlds Collide set.

Your store might be like mine: Either extremely slow to get it on the shelves or slow to get enough in stock that they don't all sell out immediately. In the words of Waspinator, "Took forever but way worth it."

Last time at my Toys R Us, there was seven boxes. Seems like these things are constantly restocked. So I guess sooner or later, some will appear in your area.
You could also ask a Canadian to ship a set for you, but taxes, PayPal fees, and shipping may kill the deal even when sold with zero profits.

I just started a new job that's closer to Target, I can even go by it on my way home if I take the long way so I'm definitely checking much more frequently myself. Fingers crossed.

I agree. I was searching furiously and was finally rewarded after over a month. Keep trying.

It would probably be a lot cheaper than an eBay scalper, so any Canadian wants to hook me up I'd pay a little extra, even.

It's smoll. Really smoll. But no way this could ever be a Scout in the ROTF times. Too many parts. Transformation was less complex that I thought it would be, but some parts pop off easy and it's a bit annoying. Not a dealbreaker though. The bot is kibbly, but still perfect. The UFO is absolutely fantastic. Overall, I'm impressed that not even 3P ever achieved something similar. OG Bee will be one of the most important Bee in my collection.
BTW, the jetpack and energon rods will sleep forever in a Ziploc bag.
