    Thanks, updated. :) 
    • All Packs: Tutu Puff, Old Cool, Clawsome, Bankshot, Crackle Corn, Knotzel, Greed Feed, Driver Ted
    • Pack 1: Tangry Tart, The Fizz, Pixelfin, Sheriff Sugarfeet, S'up Dawg, Shredder Jack, Laceface, Hawt Diggity
    • Pack 2: 24K-Bit, Wrist Banned, Sweet Cheat, Papa Click, Skillz Punk, Chilla Gorilla, Spud Muffin, Duderoni
    • Pack 3: Tangry Tart, Sheriff Sugarfeet, Papa Click, Sweet Cheat, Skillz Punk, Chilla Gorilla, Laceface, Duderoni
    • Pack 4: [?] 24K-Bit, Wrist Banned, Pixelfin, The Fizz, S'up Dawg, Shredder Jack, Spud Muffin, Hawt Diggity
    • Pack 5: Tangry Tart, Sheriff Sugarfeet, 24K-Bit, Sweet Cheat, Skillz Punk, S'up Dawg, Spud Muffin, Laceface
    • Pack 6: The Fizz, Pixelfin, Papa Click, Wrist Banned, Shredder Jack, Hawt Diggity, Chilla Gorilla, Duderoni
    • Jackpot Pack 7: Tangry Tart, The Fizz, Pixelfin, Sheriff Sugarfeet, 24K-Bit, Wrist Banned, Sweet Cheat, Papa Click (no Series 1 repacks)
    Doubtful, they seem to like logical pairs... unless some sicko also did an All Repacks pack... personally I'm hoping the case is 1 each of 1-6 and 2 of 7. (And hoping I somehow jackpot three 7's so I have tradestock with actual value... :)  )

    Ooo, I did NOT notice that. Maybe this IS Pack 4, then, as the 1 Techie Team/2 Greaser Gang/1 Jock Squad misprint WOULD match up with the general breakup of the Series 1 repacks for the others. My best guess is someone messed up with the instructions and the factory workers just ran with it.

    Doesn't surprise me. The local Wal-Mart only stocked ONE case each of the wave 2 packs. Now all that is left is a few singles clearanced at $1.50 each and three 8 packs for $11 each.
    If true, my day of buying Bot Bots might be coming to an end. We don't have Targets locally and it's hard ordering certain packs online.

    That's what Networking With Friends is for... I'm sure that if you asked you could find somebody to hook you up. (FWIW, if I bag two Con Crews on 9/4 and you don't have one of your own by then, I'll give you first crack.)

    Hell, @iacon45 shoot me a list of what all packs you're looking for and I'll see if I can hook you up--cost plus 10% for overhead expenses plus shipping and paypal fees. I'm officially out of the personal-shopper business, but I don't mind trying to help facilitate further entertainment, as long as you keep the funnies coming. :)

    Really appreciate that @Diamondback. As of now, I'm still looking at the upcoming series 3 singles and packs to see what "Bot Bot Invasion" ideas I can come up with before I decide on which ones to get. Luckilly, I managed to get the ones I wanted from Series 2 and are using them in the "Invasion: WTF Things" story arc I'm doing now.

    (Shamless plug for Optimus Primal in Invasion of the Bot Bots for those that haven't seen them. Optimus Primal in The Invasion Of The BotBots )

    That’s spectacular, I love 24k-Bit far more than I was expecting to. That’s pretty much the last one I need. I kinda wanna take a stab at getting one, feels like I’d have better luck dangling my spare series three Quackles for trade, though.

    Speaking of series three, what does the triceratops I keep seeing in the art transform into?

    I'd expect the rest of Series 3 to start hitting within the next 2 weeks, as a guess (since it's projected to release next month). The blindpacks are already out in some places, so the 5-packs and 8-packs can't be too far behind.

    Still waiting for images of the Series 3 8-packs. We'll probably get pictures after someone finds them at retail at this point, since only 1 of the 8-packs popped up at SDCC. (Or TFW might get another promotional box like they did with Series 2.)

    Does anyone have an extra Pixelfin, Papa Clix, The Fizz, or Wrist Banned and is willing to sell them?
