The two new teams are Bakery Bytes and Lawn League. With no other teams included in these 5-packs (like in the first series), these are not likely to be part of Series 2, which should be another 60+ figures.

Someone somewhere has managed to get one of the new packs, and the enclosed checklist (posted here) is the one you get with the first series packs, but with an extra bit at the bottom that has the 13 new figures from Bakery Bytes and Lawn League.... and notes that series 1 now has 74 figures, not 61.

Still no word where these are going to be released, or when... particularly now that we have moved onto series 2 (globally), with the green packs now out here and in America.

No content details or images, but the packaging is said to be about 30cm by 30cm, with a depth that suggests it is the same as the 5 and 8 packs, just bigger.

Based on the price, it wouldn't have more than 10 Botbots. It is listed as being a kilogram, so maybe it is just a small number of Botbots, that are packaged with a buildable display case (like the shopping mall in some of the promotional images).

For those that didn't pick up on this in the other topic, the Grand Opening Surprise pack ended up being the 16-pack Arcade Renegades that we saw at the Melbourne Toyfair, and was in the official press release at the New York Toyfair.
