Cyberverse Thundercracker

Studio Series Bumblebee with Charlie

 

...This isn’t new.

 

What exactly? The figures (which we obviously know about already) or the fact that they're listed at TRU Canada (which I haven't seen reported before)?

 

At first I saw Tru exclusive, and got ready to rage. (Being American and not having a TRU anymore)
Then I saw it was cyberverse trash and yet another Bumblebee, and breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Well, there are still two more unknown unreleased TRU exclusives remaining, "Optimus Starscream Set" and "Street Racer".

 

Yeah, I think these are Target exclusives in the USA, or something. But we don't have Target in Canada (well, they tried, and utterly bombed within a year), so I guess this is where we're at.

 

Actually these were originally intended as Toys"R"Us exclusives (we saw listings for these months ago), it's just that Toys"R"Us no longer exists in the US. They're still TRU exclusives in Asia and Canada, where TRU still exists.

Bumblebee Highway Freedom was found at a single Target store in the US, was announced to be an Entertainment Earth "exclusive" and is now listed by numerous US-based online retailers. Thundercracker has thus far not been acknowledged by Hasbro at all, lest alone been given a US venue that we know of.

 

I think I saw Bumblebee with Charlie yesterday when I was getting VW Bumblebee and DOTM Ratchet.

 

Yeah it's been out for a week or so.

 

Has this been reported before? If not, then this would definitely be news.

EDIT: Wait, I thought this was the "Rebekah Garage" set, and "Street Racer" was different from that?
2018 Transformers Live Action Movie Toy Listing With Pricing From ToysRUs - Transformers News - TFW2005

• 40765 – EX TRA Rebekah Garage – $29.99 (Bumblebee movie)
• 141450 – EX TRA Street Racer – $16.99

I'm confused now.

 

With those prices, that is likely not a USA sighting. I don't recognize the tags at all, so if it is US its a tiny chain.

 

The real "exclusive" is that $40 dollar pricetag on an undersized deluxe with a couple extra bits of plastic. Because $30 wasn't ridiculous enough. You keep that shelf warm, Bee.

 

neevnav is from Canada. That's presumably a Canadian TRU shelf.

It's still newsworthy regardless.

 

Very interesting. I hope to grab this set someday.

 

To be honest, I don't know how you manage to keep up with it all, but it's great that you do  I guess 'Street Racer' makes more sense for this, but then other retailers are all calling it Rebekah's Garage. I wonder if one will turn out to be the Bumblebee two pack that's not shown up anywhere yet.

 

So is this a target exclusive or Jeffery Toy Box exclusive(toys r us exclusive)

 

Thinking with those parts, they could retool Bumblebee into Shatter or Dropkick. Just a thought, not going to happen.

 

Yes, those are TRU Canada tags.
