Oh man, looks like this will be a hassle for collectors. While we were supposed to have the movie inspired Hot Wheels Transformers cars much earlier this year, a recall on Barricade meant the set's distribution was now up in the air. While a new version of Barricade has been available for a while for worldwide distribution, the set has finally been found in the US at the tail end of December. However, it seems Barricade is not part of it. So far, we have reports of these movie cars appearing in Walmarts in various states with some sets having Barricade while others don't. Looks like the UK has these sets as well with Barricade.

Aside from Barricade, the other cars in the set are Crosshairs, Drift, Bumblebee and Stinger. The cards have the names of the cars rather than the characters as that is how Mattel operates and the art on the card is generic Evergreen art to bypass extra licensing costs as Paramount own the movie designs.

We thank Budgieking for sharing their finding
