    Just ordered some blind packs from indemandtoys, hope I get one of the gold figs. Just wondering so you can get the Blender or the Popcorn from single packs, and the turtle comes in one specific 5-packs?
    Then I assume the other gold botbots will be in each of the goldrush games capsule sets, real excited for those. I'll be sure to post what I get when they come later this week.

    Yes, Blender and Popcorn are single packs only. The rest will be some type of multipack. I believe there are eight gold ones total over the course of S4.

    It's odd that the multipacks aren't at retail yet, but the Targets in my area are fully loaded on S1-S3 multipacks, so that might explain it.

    Judging by the color next to each box on the checklist (and these MAY be wrong, they have been in the past, but so far they check out for these guys), these are the assortments each of the gold Botbots are in:
    -Liquid Gold & Pop O' Gold-- single packs (confirmed)
    -Goldie Rock-- Home Rangers pack #3 (Roarista, Whirlderful, Incog-Eggo, Suave Verde) (confirmed)
    -Goldenberry D'uhnut, Goldsferatu, Gold Dexter, Goldface-- 1 in each of the Claw Game/Gumball Machine packs (they come in a case of 4-- Goldenberry is confirmed via an official pic)
    -Game Golder-- in one of the 8-packs

    Are we adding Peels to the pile of disappointing fruit Botbots? Still love Sourwing though.

    I will say that I didn't really expect much more from a Banana Botbot. You peel it and the robot's inside. Can't really be mad at that.

    Yep, looks like you are indeed right.

    Except for Game Golder & Goldie Rock, I don't mind; buy the usual singles case or a case of the flagship new product, get the gold ones. But only 1 out of the 8 in (presumably) each assortment having the gold one.. that is just a royal pain.

    Hilariously, I just found Botbot wave 3 blind packs at the grocery store. Was hoping they were series 4 but still a funny find.

    Interestingly enough, those on the "inside" when it comes to Hasbro are in the same position. This happened all of 2 days ago:

    Toy News: Hasbro BotBots Mailer Features Series 3 and Previews Series 4

    Nice to know one hand knows what the other's doing!

    My issue with him is that I feel like the parts don't really split enough to show all of the bot inside, not to mention on mine anyways, splitting it down the middle and moving legs forward was hard as both were tight on my particular figure. I wouldn't say its one of the worst molds overall with botbots, but def not near the top in my book

    Is the series 4 goldrush poser hinting at future gold rush repaints? Saw the watering can, Kidd Clobber, the hat and a new mold that looks like a chess piece to me.

    I am in no huge hurry to buy series 4 since I can't open some of it until I know what is in the surprise packs or the 8 Packs. & I have plenty of series 2 still to chase and I really need to get that One Lawn League pack now too before they disappear on me.

    I think the "new mold" you're referring to is just Goldsferatu, the Frostferatu redeco that's in Series 4. The only Botbot that looks like a chess piece to me is the Prince Perfumius/Perfumigator mold, and I don't see that there...

    But yeah, Kidd Clobber was shown in that live-action Botbots gold rush commercial (though freakily enough, without a face). Gold Ollie Byte and Gold Nozzlesnot (or whatever their final names are) will probably be in Series 5, along with Gold Poo Sham who's in the commercial:

    Well I ordered 2 each of the Wave 4 packs from amazon and got six different packs...

    Maybe I Should Consider Getting A Lottery ticket...

    Don't know which one has the gold figure yet so I might have to wait for seeing them at retail

    Now to figure out which packs to open...

    It's the Home Rangers one with Roarista, Suave Verde, Whirlderful, & Incog-Eggo. That has Goldie Rock in the blind ball.
