Botbots cartoon for Netflix

[Autocon]

I don't know what is going on with these Botbots toys, but now Entertainment Earth has a new release date as well... September 2023!!!
A year and a half after the cartoon has been and gone.

Considering the toyline was suspended a year ago before series 6 was released, it seems strange that they were not ready for the cartoon... which itself would have taken almost a year to develop.

I don't know if I can wait another 18 months for them, as we have been teased with a lot of interesting new alt-modes, and will have a lot of other new toys come out before then to distract us from remembering these until they come out. (so why spend money marketing the toys now to generate hype in them, if Hasbro will have to start all over again in a year's time)

Season two..

Despite having their release date pushed back to mid-to-late 2023, Entertainment Earth has just received them last week, and some in-hand images can be seen here.

BBTS has them incoming too.

Amazon America has them in stock too....which can ship to here through the Australian site, but some of the prices are eye-watering.
I was told twice that they won't be coming to Australia, but will probably show up here after I import them.

So you will get doubles to get the full set...

Now that people are getting these from Amazon America and Hasbro Pulse, we have some photos of the packs and the catalogue... which should show all of Series 6 (the catalogue has 60 figures on it but the packaging has 75+ on it).
Even though online stores have been listing the four size-classes as master carton bulk lots, it is not always reliable if an outlet has unpacked the master cartons, as some people have been posting about getting duplicate single packs or multi-packs, leaving them with an incomplete set and having to chase up spares on the secondary market because they don't want to buy a second complete master carton for just one or two Botbots.

On top of this risk (of online sources not sending out sealed Master Cartons as they are supposed to), there is also the risk of them sending out a single pack instead of the full Master Carton... as I and some others in America found out the hard way, with just one Single pack sent instead of a Master Carton of 24, making it a very expensive single $5 Botbot toy costing about $140.
(the last photo here is mine, which even shows a label on the single pack that says it should have been for 24 packs... but alas, now I have to send it back, wait for a refund (and hope they don't reject the refund because I didn't send back 24 figures), and then risk ordering another set of Single Packs)

How on earth does that happen? Is it just the result of Amazon treating employees like slaves, or is there some way to honestly make that mistake?

Anyway, catalogues are still a thing?!?! There's something I miss from the 80s... And the next time I see someone complaining that a Generations deluxe is a piece of crap, I've gotta direct them to Loose Deuce
