    Crap, I wanted Roadrage. But Target exclusives are difficult to get and very expensive if you don't live in the USA.

    I'll be in for Road Rage (assuming I like Tracks). I guess we will see what the Bumblebee figure is. My guess is the Netflix Bee mold, maybe with a head like Goldbug's (Goldbug's head looked somewhat like the original toy Bee's head IMO).

    People who live in the USA also feel this way about Target exclusives.

    Ok I have had some questions sent to me asking what some of these possibly are.

    1: the Power charge Bumblebee is a reissue of this toy in Buzzworthy packaging.

    BFD5B09B-E7E0-498F-8423-B364F54F7FB3.jpeg

    2: The Orgins Bumblebee figure doesn’t seem to be apart of the Buzzworthy Studio series deluxe assortment. So if it was a Re-packed B-127 I would think they would just throw that into a wave 2 of that Assortment. Which doesn’t seem to be the case.

    Hopefully that cleared some things up.

    Speculate on.

    Yes! But, I'll settle out of court for a reissue of his classics mold with the trailer.

    Target managed to pull out a rare feat: indiscriminately piss off people all around the world :D

    Can you imagine if the Prime and Megs were SS86?

    It's the Transformers/ MOTU crossover we've been wanting.

    Ugh. I hate the "Buzzworthy Bumblebee" line. It's just filling up shelves in my local Targets, making releases of Kingdom even harder to find because the stores aren't reordering when they're stuck with that much yellow-boxed, reissued garbage. I was super lucky to find the only Target exclusive I've ever really wanted (Thrust) in the wild, but if I do find Road Rage, I might just buy her because I'm a sucker for fembots.

    im pretty sure replenishment stock isn't based on what you are describing. They're very clearly different pegs and classified separate so if zero Buzzworthy sold it would have zero effect on the replenishment of Kingdom stock. Employees dont walk by pegs and just order if they're out of transformers, its all automated at this point

    That not exactly true either. Employees can reorder stuff if it runs out before they get a new shipment but the requires them to know that there are four different Transformers toy lines and that He-Man, Skeletor and every one else have different codes. And I think it's safe to say they generally don't know witch is why the Walmart I now work at only gets Origins Skeletor figures.

    So how much remolding could this gal have?

    Just a new head? Or a few more changes to her body like the MP had done to it? Personally I'm hoping for the more changes like the MP, but won't lose any sleep over it if only a new head is given to her.

    That isn't how restock works. Each line has its own PID number. The PID number tells the warehouse what line a toy comes from. So for example Voyager figures have a different PID number than deluxe figures. And each different series has its own different PID numbers as well. For example studio series has different PID numbers then wore for Cybertron figures. As such since buzzworthy is a completely different sub line then Kingdom they do not affect the kingdom release. The reason why you are not seeing a lot of kingdom is it selling out far quicker and it is hard to get restock. I know plenty of stores who haven't even received wave one of Kingdom because they are so hard to get a hold of due to demand and shipping issues. Blaming buzzworthy for that is simply false

    When Tracks got leaked several months ago I thought "Cool, so when's RR?". Shame she's going to be yet another hard-to-find-at-reasonable-price store exclusive (like Siege Ratchet and ER Runabout).

    I'm surprised that apparently there are no plans of repainting Warpath into Treads.

    This is also what screwed up Overload (and Studio Series) at Target.

    He was, for whatever reason, labeled with a Voyager assortment DPCI so once they sold through the initial stock and tried to order more they probably got flooded with Voyager figures instead of Leaders.

    Well, online it is since my local Target has always been a vast wasteland of emptiness (right now they have some reaction wave 1 Megatron and some Cyberverse 1 step figures, everything else is empty and its pretty much been that bad since well before the pandemic was ever a thought.

    Not sure if it's a fair comparison but the recent mps of tracks and road rage are pretty similar. Not identical but very similar so no reasons Kingdom tracks and road rage won't be same
