Thanks to this tip I checked out the store closest to me at lunch and found a fresh case - grabbed the singles I needed + 2 more from 5-packs I don't have yet (in case I never get them). Only 3 5-packs away from completion!

 

Neither of my Grocery Outlets got BB's.   Checked my Storage stuck-withs, and I have two of the Party Favors pack with Buffloon and Data Dump, and one Los Deliciosos with the camera and telescope.

 

What's the blue one with the sparkly eyes?

 

What's that Duck one? I need a bunch of those!

What's its name, series, and blind bag number?

 

That's Series 3 Quackles

He's #16 in the blind packs and appears in 2 of the "recommended" 5-packs

 

Ughhhh.
If someone (anyone) wants to grab me S5 blind packs 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, and 13... I don't think they're gonna show up over by me...

 

Man, which I had this retailer near me.

If anyone gets extras, let me know.

 

Swapbox 16 from series 4.

 

Swapbox is somewhat more elusive, but worth it for that face alone. Collecticon, whose prices are sometimes a bit ridiculous, has him in stock for a fairly reasonable five bucks.

Transformers Botbots Retro Replays Swapbox 16

As OCProwl said, and I’d just like to add:

I still see packs containing him at Targets. He’s absolutely worth tracking down.

 

Does anyone have any botbots for trade? In San Diego???

 

Some interesting finds through Brickseek!
Series 5 Cardio Clique https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transfor...lique-5-Pack-Mystery-2-In-1-Figures/568841655
Series 6:
Caffeine Collective 8pk https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers-BotBots-Series-6-Caffeine-Collective-8-Pack/646661168
Gifted Guild 5pk https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transfor...Guild-5-Pack-Mystery-2-In-1-Figures/482139680
Play Plexers 5pk https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transfor...exers-5-Pack-Mystery-2-In-1-Figures/297143507
That means two more mystery tribes not in Walmart's system (one each 5pk and 8pk) plus the toilet and treasure chest packs...

 

I'm curious how many of these are still in play. I wonder if, with the cartoon coming and pretty much every major retailer except Target having dropped the line, Hasbro is doing a major shaking-up of how they're going to distribute/market these.

 

Just last week I was being kindly consoled like the goofball manchild I am about Botbots ending, but holy crap. They never left us. Happy day!

I have seen Wal-Mart drop toylines and pick them back up, it happened just this year with Mega Construx. Is it possible that these listings are indicative of the same?

 

Wow big week for Botbots news hopefully we actually see these showing up soon

 

That's funny that these start popping up, as my Targets just started filling shelves with s5 again. Only s4 blindpacks, but the rest of the pegs are filled with yellow bubbles.

So we've got a coffee shop, pet store, treasure chest (jewelry shop, I'm assuming), and toilet troop v2 for Series 6 so far - but "Gifted Guild" and "Play Plexers" are interesting... I'm guessing a gift shop and mall playplace theme?

 

Gifted Guild is interesting because from the name alone it doesn’t sound all that different from the Party Gifters of series 5, like I’m sure we’ll see a Shifty Gifty repaint.

At first I thought Play Plexers was just a similar thing to the Playtime Posse but a mall play place/jungle gym theme could be interesting.

 

Mmm yes brickseek and it's hidden links within. Just be cautious though, found a link for a mega construx Worf and Shredder on brickseeek, both of which were for the their Heroes line that never came to fruition.

Gifted Guild makes me think special abilities. Maybe the creme of the crop from previous tribes. :shrug:

Play Plexers something about that screams educational toys to me. Maybe we can get a "buildable" robot this time around. I don't really care either way just make with the unique goofiness already Hasbro.

 

Ah like as in “The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters” I’m down for some super powered Botbots

 

Mutant Botbots! *screams and runs*

 

Play Plexers and Gifted Guild make me think of new versions of Jock Squad (sports stuff) or Tech Team (computer and video game stuff), and Backpack Bunch (school stuff). Which is kind of not the direction I want this to go in (build on the existing tribes, rather than changing names to seem new), so I'll be happy to be proven wrong.
