    My Target is slowly restocking the blindpacks, so I'm picking up a few of the ones I've missed.
    And setting the stolen packs aside so hopefully employees notice and customers don't buy them...

    The Ice Sight/Dr Moggly mold sure is thick. I'm pretty sure they could've made the "glasses" mode like, a third of the length it is. (I'm just gonna pretend they're for Professor Farnsworth or something)

    Performing a ritual sacrifice, 6 new botbots-doubles surround a rare botbot, hoping to summon either a white chocolate or tuna in a can in its place...

    I have seen exactly zero series 2 Bots locally and even the series 1 Bots are totally gone and aren't being restocked. I haven't seen any hype for these IRL. How are they selling? Does anyone think we'll see anything beyond Series 3?

    Off-topic slightly, but that MP Ratbat in Yomtov colours is absolutely lush! He so needs a purple Soundwave to buddy with!

    From the sheer number of Botbots revealed at Toyfair-- and how no molds have been used more than once in the same series-- it's almost certain at least SOME Series 4 Botbots were shown at Toyfair, so I believe plans are (or at least were) to continue it into 2020. I have absolutely no info on Botbots sales-- either personal experience or concrete national/global sales-- as I only have one local crummy Walmart.

    In my area they are selling well. They don't get bought out immediately but sets usually last about a week or two before disappearing. Even restocks eventually sell out. Heck, there aren't any wave 1's near me anymore. All wave 2's.

    I assume you mean these two
    Botbots Series 3.jpeg

    Rex here is probably a Shed Head
    and the unnamed suitcase/camping backpack is probably a Jock Squad or as a stretch a Swag Styler

    Matching up the names from the pre-Toy Fair press release, the blue bag is probably Rink Stink who is a Jock Squad and most likely transforms into a hockey duffel bag.

    I think Rex is probably the Fresh Squeezes Lost Bot. I’m not convinced there are any Shed Heads in Series 3. Considering the flashlight is a confirmed Jock Squad I’m inclined to say that the ten looking fellow we’ve seen is also a Jock Squad and that the team includes camping themed botbots as well as traditional sports gear.
