New Buzzworthy Bumblebee Crash Combiners and Worlds Collide 4 Pack Found in US at Target

In the past, Tesco was pretty good at getting the Target Exclusives but in this case, and considering the state of Transformers toys at general retail...I'd either hope that Smyths or the Entertainer bid for it or that Hasbro Pulse UK adds it to their partner tab.

Otherwise it's waiting to see if In Demand Toys or Kapow get them.

That's a great tip, put it in the deals thread or the UK sightings thread I didn't even realise they sold Transformers figures

I wanted to share some initial thoughts on Origins Bee having just opened him and transformed him once to frisbee mode and back again. Wow, what an excellent toy! the transformation is unique and fun. I know the figure is small, but the legs alone are as complex as most regular sized deluxes.



I don't watch reviews, so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else, but Buzzworthy Bee shows us our first glimpse of Hasbro's (almost) zero plastic packaging. The only plastic on the packaging is the plastic hang tag for the store pegs, that is it. The ties are rattan. The box has no plastic window.



Also impressive was that the gun and energon rods were secured only by creative cardboard oragami. The ties are only twisted and taped down. Honestly this was the easiest TF to open in quite some time. I only used a knife to cut the tape on the flaps (because I'm OCD) and the rest was done by hand.



Bee also comes in just a hair taller than is ER Cliff/Netflix Bee selves.

My only real gripe with him, is not being able to turn his head around in altmode.. other than that, he's actually quite fun

Really like the chest plate becoming the front of the vehicle!

Another great review, Chuck!

At 2:24, you mention he's "a bit of a partsformer".. how do you mean?

Well my Target is still a wasteland. No new BB stuff yet.

I'll have my chances to finally get Barricade. I already have Clunker Bee so I'll most likely trade my spare with my friend.

When you do, could you post whether or not it has the "to punish and enslave" tampo? Someone over on tfw said it was removed for that release of Barricade.

Oh for F....
You gotta be kidding me.

Someone would surely get to the set before I do. It will be important to know because if he don't have that legendary tampo, I'm not buying.

I've got the loose chest on Nemesis Primal, but not the bicep issue. My Fangry isn't great, but isn't terrible either. The main QC issue on mine is loose knees, but not too loose to stand up and pose. Everything else is fairly tight. The only other issue is the legs/tail in alt mode not wanting to stay tabbed together or being finicky, but all 3 monster bots were pretty similar there, so I expected that.

Bee is nice and tight, haven't transformed Blackarachnia yet but bot mode is tight so far.

Huh, I need to open mine then. I grabbed the only Worlds Collide set and one of the Origin Bee figures. Brickseek didn't show any of the WC sets, so I was surprised to find it.




I really like Origin Bee, and I wasn't interested when first announced. I feel the fuel rods don't serve much purpose since the tips are more than 5mm. So unless we get a boxy Wheeljack that can carry them, they just kind of sit there.
