    Toywiz seems to have put up their series 3 5 pack pre-orders up, that's not the important bit, what is though is a look at some Botbots we've never seen the bot modes for.

    Glad to see the duck is in two 5-packs. I thought it was in the blind packs.

    Just a matter of finding these when they come out...

    The one looks like a birdhouse...
    And we're getting ANOTHER repaint of the baseball bat (it looks like he has an Autobot symbol on his arm too, 100% certain we'll get a purple Decepticon repaint as well...)?? Why am I such a sucker for repaints...

    Man, Bunches (the grapes) looks creepy in all the right ways.

    I'm also becoming more and more certain some of Series 4 was shown at Toyfair (which is FANTASTIC news, as it confirms Botbots is continuing into 2020). There's simply not enough variety in these packs for all of the remaining ones known about to be simply in Series 3 single-packs and 8-packs.

    He's also listed as being in the blind packs assortment. So Quackles will be in at least 3 separate packs.

    At first I was thinking dollhouse, but birdhouse makes a bit more sense. Wonder why he's green, though, kind of an odd color for one.

    Just an FYI it's a Makeup Kit, not a Diary. Its name is "Makeover N. Over".

    Oops, seems Target was slower than I thought--next batch is NEXT Friday. BTW, if anybody sees a Jurassic World Attack Pack Rhamphorhynchus and has Bots they're looking for, that's another potential trade item... trying to run one down for a friend and they're long gone here. Like EVERYTHING. :(

    Not really. I've seen birdhouses in a full rainbow of colors.

    I thought Makeover N. Over was the repaint of Chic Cheeks.

    That may be a possibility...

    So the contents of all the 5-packs are known (between these and the 4 Season Greeters packs), even if we don't know all of their names yet.

    Pack #1: Bunches,Shushifier, Quackles, Kikmee, Lost Bot

    Pack #2: berry basket, baseball, Cuddle Wuddle, Quackles, Lost Bot

    Pack #3: tent/birdhouse, speaker, Kikmee, Q.U.R.O.B.O. 6000, Lost Bot

    Pack #4: drum kit, Makeover N. Over, Pop-O The Clown, Q.U.R.O.B.O. 6000,Lost Bot

    I want Bunches (gotta have those grapes), Quackles, Cuddle Wuddle, and maybe the baseball (who's visible in the pictures despite being a Lost Bot).
    EDIT: Strike Four is the red baseball bat,not the baseball. Oops.

    Duh, can't believe I never made that connection. You're probably right. I'm too used to the books having longer names, so I immediately saw that one and made the connection.

    The baseball isn't Strike Four, there's another Batsby redeco.

    Huh. Guess it's another unknown,then. Didn't even know there was another Batsby redeco until now.
