I found all the single and 8-packs I needed so now I only need Q.U.R.B.O. 6000, Kikmee, Grave Rave, and Pop-O the Clown.

 

I'll have a better answer once I have some in hand but Quackles is an easy contender for MVP on looks alone but there are others I'm looking forward to too.

Has anyone has any luck erasing those atrocious production numbers on the duck mode?

I don't even know what the point of the rarity stars is. Even kids would eventually realize they're horribly inaccurate. Who's the joker at Hasbro whose job is to determine rarity, then immediately go against them with terrible distribution/repetition of certain Botbots?

 

Sensei Spiny. He's like a better version of Hamurai that can actually lift his arms. (I really like Hamurai, but if I had one nitpick with him, it would be that.)

Playroom Posse #4 (Cuddle Wuddle et al.): Smooth Shaker

Season Greeters #4 (with Minnycake): Trisourtops

The other Lost Bots were posted a few pages back. I can look for the post if need be or add a TFWiki link.

 

yeah same here...it's pretty much the only retailer that was selling cases too...wonder why bbts and entertainment earth, among others, weren't carrying them...

still no sign of wave 3 multipacks at any of the Targets here...too many wave 2 and wave 1 stragglers hanging on the pegs I guess...you'd think they would take a hint that nobody's going to buy the ones that had broken-into bubbles though...

 

The ‘rarity stars’ are not rarity stars at all, they simple indicate which floor of the mall that Botbot can be found on in the picture! Nothing more to it than that.

 

the wave 3 map does refer to the stars as 'rare-common'

the wave 1-2 maps just referred to levels

 

Regardless, it’s still incorrect, there are bots on the bottom that are only in the single packs and there are bots on the top that are in more than one pack.

 

Wow those are some tiny little legs.........I'm perfectly okay with that. Now if stores around me would just stock series 3 anything. :Lol

 

@NemiMonkey: I know what you mean. The Series 3 blindpacks have been trickling into my area very gradually over the past couple weeks (it was even slower for Series 2). I'd expect the multipacks to saturate around late August/early September.

 

The must buys are:
14 exclusive blindpacks (do not include Greeny Rex and Latte Spice Whirl)
Playroom Posse #1 (grave rave)
Fresh Squeezes #1 (nanny mcbag)
Goo-Goo Groupies #4 (wristocrat)

Vector Oracle's recommendation is to add
BP - Greeny Rex, Calamity Keys, Sensei Spiny, Latte Spice Whirl
5P - PP2, PP4, SG3
8P - GG1, GG3
Total cost - $154

I had two alternatives

Alternative 1:
BP - Greeny Rex, Calmity Keys, Sensei Spiny, Latte Spice Whirl
5P - PP2, SG3
8P - FS3, GG1
Total cost - $144

Alternative 2:
BP - Greeny Rex, Sensei Spiny, Latte Spice Whirl
5P - PP2, SG3
8P - FS4, GG1, GG3
Total cost - $156

Common (additional) sets between all three of our alternatives :
BP - Greeny Rex, Sensei Spiny, Latte Spice Whirl
5P - PP2, SG3
8P - GG1

It'd be great if a couple of people can double check my work. Or offer better options if you see them.

 

On your first one, none of the packs include Dinger

 

Good catch. Adding PP4 that makes alternative 1 and vector oracle's only have one difference. You can buy either FS3 or GG3.

The must buys are:
14 exclusive blindpacks (do not include Greeny Rex and Latte Spice Whirl)
Playroom Posse #1 (grave rave)
Fresh Squeezes #1 (nanny mcbag)
Goo-Goo Groupies #4 (wristocrat)

Others:
BP - Greeny Rex, Calamity Keys, Sensei Spiny, Latte Spice Whirl
5P - PP2, PP4, SG3
8P - GG1, FS3/GG3

Total cost - $154

 

Ah, I see. Thank you, I didn’t know that changed.

Series 3 is so far a no show here. The few places that carry the singles (only Toy-e-Go as far as I know) still have a few straggling series 1 & 2 to sell. It’s often the case here [in Taiwan] where these small shops will not order the next series of little things like this (like Tiny Turbo Changers, and Kreons before) unless the leftovers are gone/moving fast.

Might have to call around to all the Toy-e-Go shops and see if anyone has them!

Although series 2 5-packs and 8-packs were rare here (there are still leftover series 1 packs), Bakery Bytes and Lawn League packs are available at ToysRus.

 

Lucky

 

soo am i now new to this botbots family?

 

My sister is in Taiwan now and she only found the Lawn League 8 packs (which she bought for me). I was surprised how cheap they were (about $20USD).

I spend most of the year in mainland China and was debating checking Toys R Us here but I think I may pass now as 8 packs here are closer to $30USD

 

I think a lot of us would be willing to pay that for the 8 packs, I know I would  

 

yeah, its looking like those may be the most difficult to get right now

 

I’m hoping that the rumor that they’re coming to amazon in the fall turns out to be true. It’s still baffling how these toys have an entirely new gimmick and we’re specifically labeled as series 1 toys and Hasbro still hasn’t said anything about them at all.

 

oh definitely put me in that camp too! But it's all sort of murky what-if-it-happens at the moment...

I could see them adding color-change to further justify yet another round of repaints (book could have invisible ink writing revealed...or heck that even harkens back to rubsigns in a way)
