    Default Botbots series 6 revealed

    Series 5 have only just started to be found (with a release date of April), and now we have official reveals of some of Series 6.

    Just like series 4, the 6th series will have a couple of specially themed 10-packs, with 6 pods having toys and 4 pods having stickers.

    One is a Pirate Treasure Chest, while the other is... a toilet, complete with plunger stick to pull out the (poo) brown pods.

    Easily the most creative and liberal toy line that?s ever come out of the transformers brand. I just wish that we?d get stocked properly and that we didn?t get so many doubles in the multi packs and single packs. Going on the massive failure of the larger botbot sets (just like pretty much any super sized blind pack toys) I am guessing that we will only see these sets on Amazon/ toyworld/ specialist toy stores.

    The post above this one might actually be for series 7, as the checklist sheet for Series 6 has just been found, and it's themed groups don't match up to the packs listed above.
    The checklist sheet is on the Hasbro website here, but is mirrored here if it is taken down (if series 6 was indeed cancelled/skipped, as it was meant to be out 6 months ago).

    Apparently very few new moulds are/were in series 6.

    Yay, more BotBots! I was beginning to miss those wacky little fellas.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.

    Some bad news for any Botbots fans in Australia... there are no plans to import and distribute anymore in Australia through Hasbro Australia. They got stuck with a lot of old stock after a major retailer pulled out of a big deal at the last minute (before Covid), and we will see more of the older waves showing up at discount stores throughout the year.
    So we ended up missing out on some of the series 4 (blue ones), and most of series 5 (yellow ones)... and they are horrible to track down online and purchase, as you can't select the packs you need, and end up getting a lot of spares.

    It was mentioned that Botbots will continue this year as a toyline from Hasbro, but the local branch couldn't say anything more than that, because Hasbro America has to be the ones to officially reveal (or confirm) new products.
