New Hobby Lobby Bumblebee and Soundwave Metal Wall Hangers Found

I used to go there for silicone mold casting material, but it's been a few years. I think its presence in physical stores has become a casualty of 3D printing. I really became too patient for my own good in my toy customization projects.

Interesting that 2 are vintage package art, but since casual and/or younger fans wouldn't know what to make of G1 Bee with a plate-mouth, instead we get...is that Dreamwave artwork, or IDW?

Soundwave's tempting; if only there were magnets of the cassettes...

Has your bedroom/man cave/woman cave/toy room/Dog house been needing some Autobot flair? Well, once again it seems Hobby Lobby has proven itself to be a reliable source of random Transformers themed decor. This time, yours truly found some Autobot symbol wall art at the Fort Collins, Colorado Hobby Lobby for $24.99 US. Let us know if you'll be decorating your home with the latest Cybertronian interior designs.

The product selection and distribution for these Hobby Lobby things is so strange and random, there could be a Wrecker one for all we know!

Each of these signs features a G1 style art with either Optimus Prime or Bumblebee. They are metal and have some embossing which adds somewhat of a shape to the artwork. They were found by TFW user ichnach are selling for $18.99 at Hobby Lobby.

Hobby Lobby decor is always awesome.

Prime and Bee. Figures. Can we get someone else for a change? I understand they're the most popular in the mainstream, but the lack of variety in characters is getting old. For what it's worth, the actual pieces look nice. I just wish we had them with more characters to choose from.

Now those are some weird, niche market products right there. If you need your entire house, right down to the individual light switch covers all branded with Transformers, you really know what it's like to experience 1st world problems lol

Fellow Seibertronian xRotorstormx has alerted us to the recent availability in Hobby Lobby stores of a large wooden sign, prominently featuring a Generation 1-style image of Optimus Prime! The sign measures in at roughly 1x2 feet in size ( 15 1/2" by 23 13/16" to be precise), and while the price in physical stores is currently unknown, it's also available online from Hobby Lobby's website for a rather thrifty $17.49.

Why is the price so low on that, you may well ask? The answer ties into our second piece of news - it appears that Hobby Lobby is currently running some form of sale on a couple of their Transformers-themed items. Both this sign, and an also-available metal sign featuring six iconic characters (Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave), are reduced to 50% of their usual price - that's why the usually-$35 wooden sign is down to a little over 17 dollars. The sale is described as "Select Group of Home Accents Always 50% off the Marked Price*" (there's no matching asterisk elsewhere on the page) so it's a little unclear when or if the sale will end, or even whether the same applies in actual stores.

Check out the sighting image below as well as images of the two currently-on-sale items from Hobby Lobby's website! If you were looking for more Transformers-themed items from them, the website is also still stocking the embossed tin Optimus Prime and Bumblebee signs, previously reported on here, and which can be found with a search for "Transformers" on their website. Share your thoughts below in the Energon Pub, and as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for any Transformers news, collectable or otherwise!

Which ancient civilization used wooden carvings of Optimus Prime again?
