    Really good stuff for the very wee ones, the tear-out cards are a nice bonus. Seems like just about or all of the art is stuff we’ve seen before, but it’s all arranged very nicely. There were only a couple pieces I didn’t recognize, but it’s very likely that they were stickers in the series four boxes.

    Edit: Looked again this morning and there are actually some series four guys thrown into the massive group piece. Maybe art doesn’t exist for all of them and that’s why they didn’t get profile art on the official site, but art does exist for quite a few of them.

    Since Lady Luck was kind to me today, I had the chance to catch up on my BotBots collection, along with collecting the Earthrise Micromasters and one Hot Wheels.

    Edit: When I got home, I was about to take picture of the haul items in package but since I sorta forgot, I just went with it and just took the picture as shown here.

    Someone help me out, is Skitter Chatter’s art on any of the product packaging? I don’t recall seeing it anywhere. I’m looking at the group splash page and there are tons of series four Botbots here. (Really like the King Cheats art) Why the crap isn’t any of this on the official site?

    Maybe Hasbro plans to abandon the franchise just like they did with Lost Kitties and Yo Kai Watch. <:(

    Have we gotten anything on S6 botbots besides NYTF and the stop motion animation?

    Not yet, and they were supposed to be out in two weeks. We’ll see if the pandemic has delayed it all. (Hopefully it hasn’t brought a premature end to the line.)

    If you guys EVEN try to start a riot, I'd say I'd might get involve with you guys and give you a beating while telling you guys calm down and no fighting on this thread.

    Where was this information coming from? Granted its been months since they showed those and I don't remember if they ever said a specific date or not. But pretty much all the waves IIRC had a "first of the month" date, but very seldom ever made that mark. They either showed up weeks early or after that time frame.

    you’re right it’s been a few months so I could be misremembering but I’m pretty sure the toilet and treasure chest box sets we saw at Toy Fair had ad copy that said they’d be out August 1

    Edit: yeah just checked, August 1

    Hey all, loving the pics in this thread! I wasn't sure if this was the best place to ask, but does anyone know a good place to get sealed boxes of the blind "bags" for series 4 and 5? I got series 1 and 2 from BBTS. Also, does anyone have a good shelving display solution for their botbots?

    Well you can get series 4 here but it's pretty overpriced (https://toywiz.com/transformers-botbots-series-4-e3487as06-case-of-24-mystery-packs/). Series five blind box hasn't been seen yet but popped up on eBay a few times.

    Don’t ask me, blame the Great Pandession of 2020!

    P.S: I predict BotBots will end after Series 6

    I hope it will not since the line has been running for two years now and please don't jinx the future of BotBots.
