Looks like Goldbug from the next Buzzworthy 4-pack will be a bug, perfectly fitting the theme of the set :)
Figured it had to be that mould again, was not expecting the Bumblebee body. I can see a whole lot of people swapping the head from the previous set onto this body...
Also looks like that Legacy Creatures Collide 4 Pack is coming soon. I imagine they'll be coming to Australia soon as well.
And it looks like Goldbug is a redeco of Netflix Bumblebee, using SG Goldbug's head!
Coming very soon - the person who posted the pictures has apparently received a shipping notice for the pack - he's a bit shocked too :)
The pics posted on that tfw link...

Some in hand pics and comparisons to other versions of the Goldbug mold

And Ransack

From what I can gather one shop has already shipped this - to people who thought they’d ordered the first box set(?)
Well that's a laugh!Quote:

Really looking forward to this one!
-edit- ticked off by Twitter insisting on doing that log in or we'll lock you out thing, so here are those same pics over on TFW2005.
Now, who wants the BW bugs? I only want Goldbug and Ransack, so I need a way to offload Skywasp and Scorponok. Any takers for when I finally get my hands on some?
Glad they pulled through with the VW mould for Goldbug, one of my most anticipated figures of the year. Not interested in the other 3 though, I will be selling them off.
Also it seems that other than Goldbug, all the toys have alternative heads, meaning that Ransack, Scorponok and Skywasp can either have their regular heads, or their mutant heads.
Only wanted Fangry in the last release.
Here I want Goldbug and Ransack. Only 2 more releases before I'll want all 4?
If I see this cheap in a shop I may purchase. Dont really want Goldbug though :/
Any takers at all?Quote:

Terrible news.Quote:

Very much worth knowing, because after the Worlds Collide pack I was just going to wait for it to show up locally (late this year, maybe next). Now I know that I need to be looking for it on Amazon or E-bay or at Asian retailers.
$130 SGD + post form TFH if you want it yesterday.
People will also be piecemealing it out later on down the road if you're only after a particular bot.
It's difficult to know right now what to believe is coming, because I was told a week before the Legacy Beasts showed up at Target (and had been on the website already), that they weren't coming here...Quote:

F4052 - Legacy exclusives Not running
F4782 - Autobot Nightprowler (DLX - redeco KD Cheetor) (US Walmart excl - US$23 - MAY) Not running
F4781 - Buzzsaw (DLX - redeco KD Waspinator) (US Walmart excl - US$23 - MAY) Not running
F4780 - Predacon Sandstorm (DLX - redeco KD Scorponok) (US Walmart excl - US$23 - MAY) Not running
And now I see that the 3rd wave of Buzzworthy single pack Studio Series figures has been found in New Zealand, and they get their stock through Australia.
- Studio Series - SS86-02-BB DLX 1986 Kup (minor redeco SS86-02 Kup - Cybertronian car)
- Studio Series - SS86-13-BB DLX 1986 Cliffjumper (minor redeco Earthrise Cliffjumper as pre-release SS86-13 - car)
- Studio Series - SS70-BB DLX Mv6 B-127 (re-release SS-70 B-127 with new head - Cybertronian car)
Items in New Zealand aren't guaranteed to show up in Australia, as it could have been a shipment that was too small to spread across Australia, so had to just go to NZ instead (like the Movie Masterpiece Optimus last year, that Australia is still waiting on if you pre-ordered through EBGames).
I would get those three if they were released here, so my fingers are crossed.
Well damn, hadn't noticed it because of the way their search results are structured.Quote:

So, once more - does anyone want Skywasp and Predacon Scorponok? Going cheap.
I was wondering what happened to these figures, hardly even seen US Collectors with themQuote:

It was us$74... Target exclusive.
With this 4-pack being all Deluxe toys this time, it probably wouldn't have been good value if it had been released here at an expected au$150-160 (almost $40 for each Deluxe toy)... and as it is, the ones at Falcons Hanger will cost almost that with postage.
More. $173.06, to be precise.
Mine arrived from BigKidsCollectibles, I’ve only touched Goldbug but the paint is quite well done without any blemishes. The right shoulder joint is a bit loose at the swivel, but it doesn’t really matter unless you touch it quite hard. Scorponok is almost metallic, very shiny in person.
Interesting that the accessories and alternate heads were not secured at all, but just wrapped in a copious amount of tissue/butchers paper held in place by the cardboard insert. They were undamaged and quite safe this way however.
The toilet paper wasn't taped to the cardboard for you?
Don't think so? Can't really recall, it was definitely shoved in the far end of the box though.Quote:
