Another Hasbro product display in Hong Kong (looks like it could be at Causeway Bay again), with includes Transformers, and shows off some yet-to-be released toys, in a nice big display. It also looks like they have the SDCC Ravage 2-pack being released there as well.

Amazon America has listed up a couple of 2-packs of re-issue Cyber Series (Cyber Battalion) toys from 2015 - Optimus & Megatron, Bumblebee & Starsrceam.
The plastic looks glossier, but could just be the images.

They are packed in brown boxes like GEN Selects toys, and are likely to be Amazon exclusives, at us$26.49 for each 2-pack.

From the recent official reveal of this year's Walmart exclusives, these are the Hasbro Pulse listings, which have a number of new official images, and notes their expected release dates (some are not expected to be released until December!)

Note - We won't be getting the RED toys here, we are not likely to get the BW toys, and it's 50-50 for the Legacy toys.

Legacy
- Autobot Nightprowler (DLX - redeco KD Cheetor) - December - us$25
- Buzzsaw (DLX - redeco KD Waspinator) - December - us$25
- Predacon Sandstorm (DLX - redeco KD Scorponok) - December - us$25

Vintage Beast Wars
- Wolfang - September - us$25 (Walmart listing has August)
- Cybershark - September - us$25 (Walmart listing has June)

R.E.D.
- Galvatron - August - us$25
- Shockwave - August - us$25


Meanwhile, Hasbro Pulse has also listed the new Botbots toys, which was also seen at other places last week, and Hasbro Pulse have also listed the packs in bundles, that you'd just have to hope you get one of each pack... which will still end up with duplicates, but not as many as if you get duplicate packs.

24 in single packs - us$72
20 in 4 x 5-packs - us$44
32 in 4 x 8-packs - us$63
8 in 2 vehicle packs (4 with each vehicle) - us$42

That's a total of 84 toys, and there is supposed to be 75 different ones, which means only 9 duplicates this time, so maybe Hasbro are learning, that collectors are put off by blind packs and random picks (on online listings like Amazon) wasting a lot of money to collect the set and then not wanting to do that next time.

The prices on Hasbro Pulse are about the same as what was on Entertainment Earth the other day... which didn't make much sense, but I just had another look at their prices, and they have fixed them, to match the number of Botbots you are getting with each bundle at about us$2 per Botbot...

Singles (24 packs) - us$44 (24 toys)
5-packs (4 packs) - us$44 (20 toys)
8-packs (4 packs) - us$63 (32 toys)
Vehicle packs (2 packs) - us$63 (8 toys and 2 vehicles)

[griffin]

Just noting that the release date for the Botbots toys is April on the Hasbro Pulse site, but is September on the Entertainment Earth site.

BigBadToyStore also has "3rd quarter" which is about September... and has similar prices to Hasbro Pulse, so the best option is a mix of different sources for the set (EE is $30 cheaper for the singles, but $20 more expensive for the vehicle packs - everyone is about the same for the 5-packs and 8-packs).
