    The single packed one has the code on the front. The multipack one doesn't.

    Oh I would so get one at least as a goofy little souvenir.

    I'd be very much always out of quarters and yet I'd never find the one I wanted. Kind of reminds me of this old quarter machine that had this cool little rubber ninjas. Tried so hard to get a blue ninja with the sword, alas twas not to be.

    Assuming it's not etched in the plastic then yeah, alcohol will remove Quackles prison tats.

    Quackles livin that gangsta Hug Life.

    Hasbro is making their own version of Polly pocket- like playsets for another of their toylines. That might not be a bad alternative for botbots if they never make a normal sized playset. Although it would hafta be a bit bigger.

    Which toyline? I've seen people use the mini brands displays for botbots too but it would be nice if Hasbro eventually did something official.

    Something cool. They should have had a little display with cartoon accurate action figures or plushies or something.

    Finally sat down and organized all my botbots up through series 4, and found out I never completed the single pack releases. :oops: 
    20220816_203233.jpg
    I'm in need of some to complete, including the last 2 golden winners circles ones... anybody rolling doubles in series 4? The empty slots are the ones I am missing, and they are organized based on the wiki-list by groups... left to right, top down.

    Still have series 5 to organize, but the ocd won't let me move on until I complete the previous set... I do have extras myself of things - trade or sell, I'm down.

    Which reminds me I need to go back through and recheck my list... BB4 and 5 are so far in the rearview they're practically a writeoff and even things I aggressively collect are No Show around the Suckocracy of Seattle.

    Need to take inventory of what I'm down, all my extras and then I can start making "any three of my haves for any one of my needs" offers.

    This was a year ago+ now but I got my series 4 singles from an ebay seller named cakes1974. Probably wouldn't hurt to ask her if she has anything left. Best of luck!

    Fortunately some places sell the "fillers" for these sorts of machines by the case if you know where to look.

    If it had been a decade or two back then Takara would have had their own releases in slightly different colours and likely entirely different gold bot choices and then we'd be chasing 800+ not 400+ of them.

    I still think if Hasbro was on the ball they'd be using Botbots in easter eggs or advent calendars.
    -------------
    I still can't find those goggles #24 - but I'll keep looking. I have the issue a lot of people have a lack of series five 8 packs like Movie Mogals but I have so many 5 packs I think I have most other things from "the wrong packs".

    It's kinda hard to organise things with the big release gap as the knowledge starts to leak out of my memory of what I have and don't have so I have to try to get it all in one place and go through it all.

    I guess I shouldn't complain to hard as it's not like chasing 8 packs is any harder than getting those colour changing ones was.

    & yes it might be nice for Hasbro to remember Botbots exists from time to time.

    well, the new wave is supposed to hit in 2023? Which means maybe later this year given how the weirdness of the supply chain problems...

    BBTS still claims "3rd quarter 2022" despite the fact that official sources and amazon say otherwise with it being next year. Granted yes they do use placeholders, but even so they're usually not that far off. I too thought it was strange of them to have it as such when we have other sources saying otherwise.
