The thought to be exclusive Arcade Renegades Botbots set has been spotted in Toysrus stores in Canada. It is a rather big set with 16 botbots. It is found in the Transformers aisle. This same set can also be ordered from Amazon.ca, meaning it is not exclusive to one specific retailer in Canada. The set is $39.99 CAD from both retailers. This set is special in that it has 6 different sets of blind bags. Almost all of them have repeats of series 1. However, there is an assortment with no repacks, which also happens to be the assortment needed at minimum for getting all the series 3 botbots.
Here are the possible assortments:
1: 24K-Bit, Laceface, S'up Dawg, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Skillz Punk, Spud Muffin, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart 2: Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, The Fizz, Hawt Diggity, Papa Click, Pixelfin, Shredder Jack, Wrist Banned 3: 24K-Bit, Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Papa Click, Skillz Punk, Spud Muffin, Sweet Cheat, Wrist Banned 4: The Fizz, Hawt Diggity, Laceface, Pixelfin, S'up Dawg, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Shredder Jack, Tangry Tart 5: Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Laceface, Papa Click, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Skillz Punk, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart 6: 24K-Bit, The Fizz, Papa Click, Pixelfin, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart, Wrist Banned
The 6th would be the best one to get.
Transformers BotBots Arcade Renegades Available In Canada at Toysrus and Amazon

Turns out its the easiest set to get a complete set of. You just have to buy the arcade renegade pack with the number 6 in the back and you get all 16 in one fell swoop. I just did that today Will write an article about it later.
It is still unknown if Amazon.com will be the only one carrying the Botbots Arcade Renegades Surprise pack in the US (you can get it here now) but hopefully it comes to brick and mortar since this pack is very different from the rest. This mega set of 16 bots comes in 6 different packs. Althought they might look the same, since they have the same 8 bots exposed, there are 6 different variations of the blind bag bots. And, the worst part, only one of the 6 different blind assortments gives you the rest of the team while the other 5 blind assortments will give you repacks of series 1. Not redecos, repacks. So just the same toys you already have from series 1. There is a way to ensure that you get all of 16 different characters in one go. In the back, next to the chocolate bar with the cheat code written in his jacket, you can see a number from 1 to 6.
Here are examples, look at the tiny white number printed right before the purple background switches to turquoise.
Here are the contents of the blind portion of each of the numbers:
1: 24K-Bit, Laceface, S'up Dawg, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Skillz Punk, Spud Muffin, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart 2: Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, The Fizz, Hawt Diggity, Papa Click, Pixelfin, Shredder Jack, Wrist Banned 3: 24K-Bit, Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Papa Click, Skillz Punk, Spud Muffin, Sweet Cheat, Wrist Banned 4: The Fizz, Hawt Diggity, Laceface, Pixelfin, S'up Dawg, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Shredder Jack, Tangry Tart 5: Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni, Laceface, Papa Click, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Skillz Punk, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart 6: 24K-Bit, The Fizz, Papa Click, Pixelfin, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Sweet Cheat, Tangry Tart, Wrist Banned
As you can see, number 6 is the only pack where you get all the arcade renegade bots without getting previously released bots from last year.
We also have a review of this set, which you can see below.
Niice. Although I wish I had known this last week; I spotted them on the shelf at my local Meijer and swiped the first one I saw. My son was a little miffed that we got four "old" figures, despite my insistence that getting twelve new figures (for the price of ten) is still pretty good.
For those interested in the SDCC botbots set, Hasbro Pulse will be having them up for order, limit 2, at $34.99 on September 4th (tentatively) with Pulse Premium members getting early access on September 3rd.
I got an email from Pulse yesterday as a Premium member with the link below showing when the various SDCC exclusives will be available.
Arcade Renegades are in SMYTHS in Ireland for €36.99. This is from my local store in Waterford but I also saw them in Cork yesterday
Is that considered the UK?
Ireland IS NOT part of the UK and hasn't been for nearly 100 yers.
Yeah Northern Ireland is part of the UK (for now) but Ireland itself isn't (lucky buggers) still, this could mean that Symths in the UK could get this soon (or have it already)

Ah, tried that on mine, and it only seems to work if the duck head/face is rotated upside down. . . Certainly makes that bill stand out a bit more, and not in a PG way. . .

You just need to get him to look up a little bit, like he sees a squirrel!
Thanks to our very own podfather ScottyP we've learned that as teased at the San Diego Comic Con, the Transformers BotBots Bakery Bytes 5-packs that had not been available in the US are now available on Amazon! That's right Batter Splatter, Cavi T., Chief Cherry 3.14, Flat Flour Face, Reci P., and Cooker are on their way to attack your toy collections and your appetites for just $9.99 per set! No word yet on the also teased Lawn League 8-packs but we'll keep you posted as we learn more. Click HERE or on any of the images to head to Amazon to order your own bevy of bakery bots bustling to burst your buttons.
Here's the product description from Amazon: "Stuff brought to life: botbots are mischievous little Robots who came to life From everyday objects inside a shopping mall! These Transformers Robots are tiny, silly, and great at hiding! Color change figures: each bakery bytes 5-pack includes 2 color change figures! Just rub the figure to reveal the hidden color. Fun unboxing surprise: each botbots pack has a mystery character waiting to be discovered. Purchasers will randomly receive 1 of 4 different bakery bytes team 5-packs. 2-In-1 toy: botbots figures convert between 2 fun modes -- a robot and a random object. Lots to collect and 1 hidden character in each pack. Which botbots character is gonna pop out!? Collectibles for boys and girls: these sharable, swappable, tradable botbots are great Transformers toys for boys and girls ages 5 and up to collect! Easy conversions for kids 5 years old and up."
One should take note of safety: this is the only Seibertron recommended combination of passions for both pie and robots currently available on the market. Word to the wise anything else is bound to clog up your ratchets and plug up your rotators.

But how do you know which one you are getting?
I'm hedging my bets. You can get the complete set with any one of the Bakery Bytes 5-packs and both Lawn League 8-packs. It isn't as efficient as if you followed TF-Wiki's best plan of one 8-pack and two 5-packs, but I figure with only two 8-packs to choose from, if I order 2, I stand a good chance of getting one of each. Of course, Hasbro will have to eventually release the Lawn League 8-packs in the US for this to work.
I ordered four of the five packs, and gratefully got 1 of each! So now I have all five Bakery Bites, and five of the Lawn League. Missing the shovel, mower, and flower. Anxiously waiting on the eight packs. So close to having EVERY Botbot! I know I didn’t need every five pack, but I love Botbots.
