    The four Studio Series toys have also been found at US Retail, also at Target, looking more like Target exclusives.

    The Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys are all showing up at Target stores in the US now, including two more - Cyberverse Spark Armor packs.
    One looks to be a straight re-release of Megatron (with helicopter), while the other one has Bumblebee packed with the garbage truck that was originally released with Grimlock, and is a different colour.
    They were US$25 each.

    Still no word if they will show up here... but would there be any collector demand for this line here?
    Aside from the new 2-pack that is, as this line appears to be aimed at the Retailers and general customers, so would have been better if it was released before Christmas (as I expect a heap of Bumblebee themed toys will shelf-warm if there isn't a reason for regular customers to grab random Branded gifts).

    Since the Buzzworthy Bumblebee 2-pack with Spike has been found at Retail in America this week, some comparison images have surfaced to show us how it scales to a selection of other current toys.

    Official images have now been found of the two Cyberverse packs, showing us the new colours of the Garbage Truck that comes with Bumblebee. Everything else in the two packs appear to be identical to the original release, which makes it odd to recolour the garbage truck, but then appear to not change anything on any of the other re-release toys in this line.

    And it appears to be more than a one-off range (exclusive to Target in America), as there are more to come in the second half of the year, but this line still hasn't had any official marketing or advertising by Hasbro. It just suddenly showed up in America, and probably be in most other countries as well.

    If they recoloured Bee into blue I'd buy it.

    Most of the first wave is coming to Australia, which I'll be posting up in the Oz news section and our fb page over the next few days.
    And yes, the one item that collectors want most, should be here... but where and when will be revealed shortly.

    The recoloured garbage truck appears to share a colour scheme with the Rescue Bots garbage truck (Salvage?)

    An official image of the first of the second wave of Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys has been found - Power Charge Bumblebee (originally from the Bumblebee Movie toyline - looks to be unchanged).
    No details listed here, but the second wave is supposed to be out around June-July.

    Pics to go with that link, which I copied from here.







    It looks very small, but I'm glad we are finally getting an official toy version of something seen in the very first minutes of the Transformers cartoon in 1984.
    I'm not sure yet if we are getting this one here at this stage.
