Hollywood Rides Bumblebee RC Camaro found at Walmart

Posted by Emerje Jul 5, 2019 at 11:41pm CDT 29,028 views
Thanks to Kyleor on the Seibertron Energon forums for posting our first sighting of the Hollywood Rides Bumblebee RC Camaro at not one, but two Walmarts recently. He also provided a link to where it's available on Walmart.com for $54.99.

Spotted in two Walmart locations, earlier this week and yesterday. Looks like it might be the same chassis as the Monster Bug one. $54.99 online.








The car was last seen back at Toy Fair 2019 tucked in a shelf of Bumblebee movie merchandise where it went largely unnoticed. Bellow you'll find official photos as seen on Walmart.com.

I remember seeing this at a couple of Walmarts back during Christmas 2018. There was a huge pallet of them. About a week ago I saw 3 of them on the shelf in the bike section.

Just in from site sponsor Entertainment Earth are new images of Jada Toys' mighty Metalfigs Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and now an entire diorama set inspired by the 1986 movie!

The Optimus Prime and Bumblebee Metalfigs are each 4 inches tall, have light up eyes, feature 3 points of articulation, and even have accessories. Both are listed at $12.99 each.

The G1 Metalfigs diorama set includes 4 separate highly detailed and painted figures: Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Megatron, and Starscream. Each are 2 and 3/4 inches tall and are made from die-cast metal (the most precious metal known to toy collectors). The set is currently listed at $15.99.

Megatron appears to have been caught mid-transformation. Yikes, that arm!

Unlike what you may believe, Coscto is still in the tradition of offering exclusive Transformers product in the holiday season. They just are not of the transforming variety. Previously they had Jada's RC Bumblebee and now they have a Jada three pack from Age of Extinction (how timely?). The three pack features die cast licenced car modes for Bumblebee, Corsshairs and Optimus Prime. From the image is seems Costco is going all in on these Jada toys. This three pack is 14.99 which is rather affordable for quality die cast vehicles of that size (1:32 scale).

We thank xRotorstormX for sending this our way.

By the way, I know it says 1:32, but that Optimus is in a much smaller scale than that.

Jada Toys' 2022 catalogue is out and it has plenty for Transformers fans. It has G1 inspired non transforming die cast figures and micro sized G1 alt modes, but the big star here is they will be giving us a self transforming remote control Optimus Prime. This is fun for those who wanted the Robosen one but just didn't have the dough. Of course, you get what you pay for, but it is cool to see Hasbro being looser with their definition of what they are letting license holders do, especially when they had not allowed anyone but themselves to make transforming (converting) toys.

Below you will see images for:

Transformers Nanofigs Multi-Pack including Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Sunstreaker, Prowl, Jazz, Arcee, Sideswipe, Ironhide, Wheeljack, Hot Rod, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Soundwave, Shockwave, Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp.

Transformers Nano Cars 3-pack including Jetfire, Hot Rod and Sideswipe

The Nano Cars 3-pack's figures' proportions are all over the place. Jetfire's cute. Hotrod's weirdly NOT sportly and sideswipe looks the best with a "Real Car" proportion.

The RC OP is most interesting... the poor man's Robosen :lol:

They match well with the Citybot Titans. But I only have Devy, Predaking & the Ark... and these minifigs don't match with any of those. However they'll look cool lined up in front (or on top) of my PC monitor though. I might get them just for that and if they can be found and are priced reasonable enough (no idea how much they'll cost).

Those cheap KO will still be on the pegs at every Dollar (now $1.50!?) stores for decades to come...

This is kind of two news pieces in one. Firstly, there are new Transformers themed toys at Walmart, in the form of the officially licensed Transformers metal minifigures from Jada. This set has 18 figures of G1 characters all made of die cast metal and they measure a little less than 2 inches in height. While these sets have an MSRP of $25 USD (like this GI Joe set here), this set was priced at only $12 USD. This is a pricing error since this same set is still on preorder at Amazon.com for the MSRP price. There is only one sighting so far, posted on the Transformers Addict Facebook page, where this was found in Texarkana, AR, so we do not know if this is the same price you'll see at your local Walmart when you find it. So, does this set interest you? And would it interest you at this price? Let us know!

missing legion class 3" tall, those were not only small but actually transform, and yes that size is perfect when you plan to collect hundreds of those, right now only 3rd parties are available

Some fans were excited to get this self transforming Optimus Prime toy for their kids when they first saw it. Well, it is now being found at Target. Fellow Seibertronian xrotrostormx found it in Michigan. There is a video of someone trying it out on youtube, which we posted below.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

I love the way it's packaged! It's hilarious! Chest puffed out, arms cocked at the sides, and the big words "TRY ME!" right there. I love it. Like he's egging you on to start a fight.

I kinda want it.

At least we don't have to worry about an app being discontinued and neutering much of the functionality of the toy.
