    Has anyone who ordered the claw machine gotten the version not containing the corn?

    There was a post from Cybertron.ca saying the S4 blue bubble 5-packs have appeared at a TRU in Calgary. I will have to go check it out tomorrow. :)

    They’re definitely amazing, but I can’t take any credit for them! They’re from a line around four years ago, called Q-Transformers. Perfectly sized for Botbot interaction.

    I keep mine in beader's storage boxes, grouped by tribe. Waves 1/2 in one case, Wave 3 in the second since I ran out of room. Planning to start another for Wave 4 so I start 2020 clean, and allow room for the Lawn League if I ever find them. (WHY, HASBRO?! WHY DO YOU DO THIS SHIT TO US?! WHY?!)

    I've gone back several pages but I cannot see it... is there a minimal-buy-list yet for Series 4?

    I picked-up several of the S4 5-packs from TRU Canada today (3x Home Rangers, 2x Science, 1x Magic).

    Not yet, as the 8-packs have yet to appear so we don't know what's in their blind bubbles.

    I can already tell you that all four of the special Gumball/Claw Game packs, the Home Rangers pack w/ Roarista & Whirlderful, and single packs #1 & #7 are must-buys, though, because each gold Botbot is indeed in only one pack (assuming there isn't some huge avalanche of gold Botbots in the 8-pack blind bubbles, but given the pattern I fully expect only 1 of them to contain Game Golder and the rest of them to contain regular Botbots that are in other packs).

    Thanks to Kroger (grocery store) getting some Series 3 blind packs in for Christmas and marking them down to 90 cents each post holiday and the local Ross having two Series 3 five-packs on the pegs, I have a bunch of new cast members for Primal and Co. to deal with.

    And the first duplicates I have ever had since collecting these guys.

    Had some time to look at the TFWiki Page for Series 4... are the names "Googly Spy P.I." and "Grandma Crinkles"? There are a couple of typos in the set lists for those 2 but I cannot edit the Wiki.

    Thanks!

    I did an initial look at the Wiki for S4 and I see the following must buys so far (realizing it is early if 8-packs are unknown still!):
    Only in Single Packs: Burrito Favorito, Face Ace, Liquid Gold, Pop O' Gold, Pressure Punk, Zwonkey Donkey.
    Only in 5-packs: Goldie Rock (HR2), Windbag (SA2), Zanzabar (HR3).
    And there are several that are only in 8-packs... but I don't have the time to figure that out. :)

    I imagine a few of the non-gold ones currently either only in single packs or only in 5-packs will turn up in the 8-pack blind balls, but here's the ones that will only be in the 8-packs:

    -Game Golder (gold Game Controller; almost assuredly only in 1 of the 8-packs)
    -Bretzel (cheesy Pretzel)
    -DJ Fudgey Fresh (chocolate bar)
    -Fizzkick (Cup of soda)
    -Lumidope (Flashlight)
    -Ranger Lampton (Lantern)
