    Just got two Arcade Renegades packs (took a while to ship from Amazon US to UK)

    I got pack 3, plus jackpot pack 7, so pretty happy to have the whole set for a minimum of fuss.

    Okay, so the Arcade Renegades packs are NUMBERED on the external packaging.

    The ‘Jackpot’ pack with all new figures in is number SIX.

    The pack with Sheriff Sugarfeet, Sweet Cheat, Papa Click, Tangry Tart, Skillz Punk, Laceface, Chilla Gorilla and Duderoni is pack five.

    If you see these in stores, pack 6 is the one to buy!!!

    Transformers: Botbots Series 3 Complete Profiles, Images & Online Catalog Via Hasbro Website - Transformers News - TFW2005


    How come you guys already have series 3??? I thought they did not appear anywhere yet, at least did not see any news about it on the front page. We are only getting Series 2 now in Hungary, anyway.

    Wait, there is STILL an UK Transformers comics??? There are new Cyberverse stories printed and TFW2005 never felt the need to frontpage this news? I never eve

    I figured there must be a way to tell the packs apart

    I'm wondering whether these will ever be seen in stores though...they take up a lot of space and not a lot of physical stores may be willing to devote that much room to an item

    I guess you could order multiples from amazon or hasbro and return the ones that aren't #6...

    Series 3 blind packs have been stateside for a while now (about a month). I’m the one who found the first set and ID’d them at retail.

    Transformers Botbots Series 3 Blind Bags Found At US Retail And Complete Identification Codes List - Transformers News - TFW2005

    But at least for me that was the only sighting at retail and nobody has refreshed out here yet. Pretty sure I saw they have an August street date however. But the only two times I saw them were the one time here in San Antonio, and while in San Diego for SDCC at Target stores there.

    @D3VC0N

    They're in Northern California too. I saw the blindpacks in Walnut Creek a few weeks back.

    I love these so much. Keep the ideas coming.

    As D3VC0N said, Christmas came three weeks ago in July for many of us.

    There were slim pickings the first time I saw series three, but then they restocked a week later and I cleaned them out. Haven't seen anything since. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they mostly seem to be showing up in California and Texas Targets, right now? Those are the sightings that I'm seeing reported, anyway.

    I’ve found them in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

    Speaking of Ohio, someone took an interesting route of stealing the blindpacked part of a five pack. Instead of opening up the back like a normal thief, they ripped open the plastic bubble and took it out from there. What I’m really surprised about is nobody heard or saw this as it was happening.
