Read that title too fast as “sparkles barricade” and my first thought was “ is this from the my little pony cross over?”

This guy looks cool, but these stupid Walmart exclusives are killing me. It's bad enough to have to go to Walmart to find something, but the local ones are hardly ever stocked with anything, let alone the exclusives. I've never bothered trying their website, because all I've heard is horror stories about them cancelling orders willy-nilly. Feels like eBay scalpers are my only option, which... you know, scalpers.

One option is to ask fellow board members to keep an eye out for what you want.

The only problem is they need to get a WFC Chromia head and paint it Moonracer's color to be show accurate

Dont give in to scalpers, that just further encourages them to continue existing.

If anyone is fretting not getting a Netflix BB, don't worry, it appears more are on the way. I stopped at a local walmart this afternoon, and they must have just put out 2 cases, because there were 4 BB's and 4 Elita's, and 2 of all the others. Not sure if walmart online is doing any better (For the record I still haven't seen a Soundwave yet, but he's thankfully not on my want list). But as was said above, no need to give in to scalpers.

I agree with you on this, but on the other hand I see the ER Ironhide/Prowl two-pack on sale at TFSource for $150 and wonder what separates scalpers from some of the retailers out there.

I honestly feel there is a chance of a re-release next year maybe for Netflix Bee and Soundwave. They were clearly meant to be mainline, and with them being a Walmart exclusive during a pandemic, I'm sure scalpers got their unfair share. Hasbro has recently done second runs of a number of figures that were hard to get or still have demand and outrageous eBay prices. It wouldn't surprise me to see them again next year offered online. That is just a tough leap of faith to make if you haven't gotten one.

I already got Netflix Bumblebee (and all of the Wave 2 Deluxes) without much issue. Saw them all multiple times in store leading up to Xmas. What has been scarce is the Wave 2 Voyager sets. I think half of the Walmarts in my area got one or two cases each, which is 2x Soundwave and 2x Optimus Prime. Never found Soundwave, but managed to get an Optimus Prime before they were all gone in a matter of days.

I decided to shell out for BB and Soundwave with BB coming in today.
I'm tired of hunting these figures out. At first I wasn't going to get Bumblebee as I'm a huge fan of the original Classics figure and not really into BB himself. But, given his place in the franchise, and the fact that this is an official VW figure too and that he'd probably be really pricy to get later on I figured "why not?" Plus I got Botcon Bugbite last year so that mold still has a place in my collection in that form.
Glad I did. He's a nice, tidy, TF. I didn't pick up Cliffy since I am not down for replacing the GDO figure I still like, so this is my only experience with the mold. And it's not bad. It's a shame about the partsforming, but the overall look sells me on it despite that.
Wish I found him in person, but them's the breaks sometimes.

Completely understand...
It's relatively frustrating when there seems to be nothing (or at least what you're specifically looking for) in-stores for months. I'm going to probably end up asking in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum if someone can get BB for me...
Out of the entire Netflix line, BB is one of the only ones I REALLY want (honestly other than Soundwave)... I bought Prime because I liked the paint apps and the blue inner lower legs. *Also because I never saw ER Prime in a store. Hotlink was the one Cybertron seeker mold I wanted, also because of the overall color scheme and just being different.
And both were bought a bit in response to the fact that I couldn't find other figures (from ER) that I wanted.
However, I'm not willing to pay way over $20 for a really small deluxe... So we'll see.

It's a shame to, because I really want to help, especially when I saw 4 BB's just a couple of days ago. Unfortunately just to ship, even inexpensively is nearly $10 (plus materials etc...)in the US for a deluxe (removing it from the packaging and making it smaller helps some but...) . If I were on the other end, I don't really like the idea of paying $30 for a deluxe that should be readily available, so I can't imagine too many others would either.

Yeah he is very small. The classics Bee looks "Beezeemuzz Prime" in comparison.
I'm of two minds about it. In the cartoon the bot mode should be that small. But I feel that the vehicle mode is way too small and that Classics Bee actually scales better next to other TFs. I have the iGear "minibots" to fill out most of them so most of them are deluze class for me.
But the small bee really is a slick TF once you get past the partsforming.

Finally found Netflix Impactor tonight at a slightly-out-of-the-way Walmart, so now I have all three versions of that mold.

For those who watched the first season of Netflix's Transformers series, do you remember a part where the autobots go to the Sea of Rust and are attacked by a sparkless (aka zombie) Decepticon that looks like Barricade? Well if not, then we have an image to serve as a refresher below so that you can see what this new toy is referring to. Kremzeek reviews has a video review up for this sparkless Barricade toy. It is part of the Walmart exclusive third wave of Netflix deluxe figures. There should be more sparkless themed figures coming, though we have yet to see them.
