Info on Exclusive Studio Series Outside the US with SS 36 Drift in UK and SS 15 Bumblebee in Canada

Posted by william-james88 Oct 8, 2018 at 10:32pm CDT 22,708 views
It is always unsure which retailers will be getting exclusives outside the US since not all countries have the same retailers, more than ever now with even Toysrus no longer being a centralized coorporation. Entertainment Earth is the exclusive retailer for both Studio Series 36 Drift and Baby Dinobots Studio Series 15 Bumblebee with Charlie, aka Rebakah's Garage, in the US, but now we know more about who will get these toys outside.

Kapow Toys in the UK currently has Drift on preorder for £27.97.

As for Rebekah's Garage, this release was recently spotted at Toysrus in Canada, meaning this is the exclusive retailer for that set in that country. The price take there is $40 CAD.

We are still unaware of who will get Drift in Canada or that Bumblebee set in the UK but at least we know these exclusives are being found outside the US.

The Entertainer in UK still has a sale on many Studio Series figures.

Of note here are Jazz and Lockdown are listed as available at £16.80 each which is a great price for people still trying to track these two down.

Yes there are Wave 3 figures being listed there with the sale prices too but are listed as 'out of stock' I'd be very surprised if they'd had even had those in stock during this aale and also if this price applies when they are in stock. Cos it seems silly to have new product instantly price reduced... although I did find it odd that my nearest Entertainer had that sale on as soon as they'd stocked their shelves with wave 1 and the sale is still going so who knows?

The Garage set has been listed on this UK site for a lil while but also said 'ship in September' and obviously we're well into October now so who knows?

Has anyone seen the engine under SS Ratchet's chest? In bot mode, it's behind the movable bumper part. Looks like a top view of a modern V8 engine. Cool.

What are you going to do? Try and resell the one that arrived by the slowest mailing service in history?

Gonna sell it... still hope to get my money back or at least a partial refund for just how misleading and slow the delivery was. Have to wait til my eBay dispute I opened last friday is closed. Can't sell it for full amount I paid obviously cos I ordered it before it was properly released and so I paid more but will see what happens.

I've had SS VW Bee for a little while now, and I think he's really good! It's kinda finicky getting him into vehicle mode, but after a couple transformations it's not so bad. I don't think it dethrones SS Camaro Bee as my favorite deluxe Bumblebee, but I'm liking it even more than I thought I would!

I hope Studio Series continues for a long time, It's easily my favorite Transformers line ever :michaelbay:

Glad you like it.
I agree with much of this. Studio has certainly been my fave TF line and the one I've bought most figures brand new from any TF line since G1. :P

Um. So. Ebay refunded my full amount because like me, they got no response from the seller at all. Which means I got the very late toy, and the money i originally paid for it. So I got a freebie (free-Bee)? I dunno how I feel about that. I just wanted my money back and the seller did do a lot of things wrong but I didn't want them out of pocket. I just wanted it to be like the sale never happened. Now I ended up with both and so if I sell the originally ordered Bee I would then have profited which makes me feel kinda bad I guess. I dunno.

This sort of happened with me and Cogman last year. He arrived 3 weeks after he was supposed to from a Chinese seller, but that seller said he would come and to be patient and he arrived.

I've learned with those Chinese sellers, time is extremely inconsistent. I got that MPM Barricade (which ended up being a KO and wasn't advertised as such) in about a week and a half, but Cogman took almost 2 full months.

So what will you do with the leftover Bee?

Did you get refund on Barricade? Were you able to prove to eBay it was a KO? I seem to remember reading something about this a while back if that was you.

Probably resell, I guess. I haven't any need for a duplicate one as it's a very specific mold I can't really repaint into any necessary characters (no, not a fanon Cliffjumper) and I'm pretty happy with the one I already have.

I got a mostly refund on him, took me several days to find out he was a KO (and I had tossed the insert for the box by then) and then almost 2 weeks to get the seller to do a partial refund. Still PO-ed about how that all went down

Depending where you want to go with him, I would be interested!

Scored a new cuddly angry Bee!

But I'm disappointed in him so far. Transformed him twice, and the alt mode just will not tab together. And he already has stress marks in the clear plastic hinge where the hood and windshield connection are. I'm really concerned there are lots of Bees that are going to break, especially with how fiddly the alt mode is.

That roof piece is so close to not needing that stress either, but at the last moment, it needs a bit too much wiggling and push needed that I'm comfortable with. I love the sculpt, and the bot mode is really awesome, but that transformation is proving to be a nightmare that won't let you see the alt mode properly!

Yea I agree it's a disappointing figure. Was surprised to see a few people here loving it, but the transformation is a nightmare. The only reason I don't hate it is because I was able to get it in alt mode, which I like, and just leave it as is.

am starting to wonder if there's a QC issue. Cos mine (the one I'e had opened and transformed many times for the past few weeks) is fine and was only tricky the first time turning into car.

My only real complaint is that I wish the face-mask thing had been done as a whole seperate head since I find the head much easier to remove than the mask. The very first time I tried it I had to basically remove the head then prise the face away from it with tweezers cos it was stuck firmly on there. The whole head comes off far easier than the face plate.

Don’t know if it’s been posted yet, but I noticed that HTS has listed SS21 Starscream on their store. He isn’t in stock yet, but it says “coming soon.” No date is given. But for anyone else who’s really looking forward to getting him, they can keep an eye on it.
