    Anyone else think it's a jerk move to price Bumblebee at $10 versus the other minibots at $7?

    It hard for me to want that Bee since it isn’t the original face sculpt

    That's why I want it for my kids. They wouldn't appreciate the original.

    Meh. You're still getting a better deal if you buy all 5 with bee at 10 and the rest at 8.

    Think I paid $50-60 USD for this back in like 2010-11 from BBTS if I recall:

    Noticed the only mini-bot that wasn't reissued this go around from that Encore set is Pipes, hopefully he will be released in a later wave.

    Ebay:
    Amazon has some Encore sets for $131 and free shipping but not prime eligible. Search Takara mini-bots.

    Looks like some fairly recently sold listings on ebay for the set sold between $50-90.

    All the walmart reissues are a crazy bargain.

    Devy encore in 2011 was $100-125 on bbts if i recall.

    Absolutely not official in any way. Just my musings on what would be my perfect waves if we went forward with this. Given the positive reaction so far, however, I do see this going forward.

    Still no signs of Hot Rod at retail (even in Canada) maybe they are holding off to fix the packaging?

    Sooo Walmart just cancelled my order for Devastator giving system issues as the cause. I had ordered it in the recent batch earlier last week. The order was to have been delivered by 8/17. Anyone else get this?

    So every time I click on the link to check the availability of Bumblebee & Outback this is all that shows up
    Screen Shot 2018-08-19 at 10.05.28 AM.jpg
    This is literally all there is to the page, there is no product image, no price, and no way you can add them to cart if they ever go back up for order. At this point I'm not expecting them to get more Bumblebee & Outback but come what is this crap.
