Oldish news but Hot Wheels has made G1 Bumblebee and Optimus Prime in their 1:64 range.

Bumblebee has an ETA of July in the US according to TFW2005 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2024/05/03/hot-wheels-x-transformers-g1-bumblebee-car-in-package-image-additional-information-510512).

And OP is being listed in Australia now e.g. Popcultcha (https://www.popcultcha.com.au/the-transformers-1984-optimus-prime-hot-wheels-track-fleet-1-64th-scale-die-cast-vehicle-replica.html) at $14.99 for Dec release.

And it seems Bumblebee is pretty darn rare, apparently the same rareness as those Treasure Hunt one (1/72) from what I was reading not long ago (one per case).

There’s been sightings of Bumblebee here (seen on Facebook). I had a quick look at Big W today but wasn’t going to go through a full whole middle of the aisle bin full of them.

I looked at Mandurah, Warnbro and Kwinana and cant see the Bee anywhere and yes that wave is in at all three stores.

Went past Kmart Lakelands tonight and there was a rollcage with five boxes of Hot Wheels cars. I thought "why the heck not" and had a quick look because all the boxes were open. I found that they had both sides opened and not one Bumblebee was in those five boxes.

I got lucky a few weeks back and found 3 in the Hot Wheels bin near the checkouts at Kmart Booragoon.
