    So how many of these guys have weapons Hasbro didn't provide, so far? Trying to figure out how many sets to order...

    My daughter was extremely into the Sugar Shocks, liked the occasional extra one beyond that, and was ready to be done, but I showed her the photo of the Goo Goo Groupies and look, she's too young to get the reference of Pacino going, "JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS OUT" but I like to think that's what she would have done.

    Oh no... How old is she? Mine's 7 and she's still really into these cutesy little collectible things (Botbots, Hatchimals - the small plactic ones, etc.). Her Easter eggs will be full of these little things, she loves it (she doesn't eat candy and is allergic to 99% of mass produced stuff anyway because of peanuts and/or cross-contaminiation so she "misses out" on that part).

    Mine is 11, so she's more into YouTube, Minecraft, and Fortnite for better or worse. I'd gladly trade YouTube and Fortnite for Botbots. I'm ok with Minecraft.

    The closest mine gets to doing anything online yet is playing Prodigy (math RPG game). She still likes toys, I'm trying to enjoy this time with her as much as possible before she grows out of it. I'm hoping she'll at least be willing to sit down and do some advanced Lego builds with me even as she grows up.

    Yeah, mine still pays with Legos as well, and that's why I'm ok with Minecraft. Those are complementary in my eyes.

    Another good run tonight! Man, as much fun as the old ones are, the new ones have some really killer transformations and designs. I like that Rock Swagger's bridge (uh... I don't know guitar parts) is designed to look like Soundwave's face!

    Also, does anyone know how to get series 1.5? Did that ever see any real release anywhere?

    Anybody contacted Hasbro directly about the Bakery Bytes and Lawn League? I know it's a Hail Mary and they're unreliable at best, but it might be worth a try...

    I'm hoping there's a webtoon soon. It really needs some fiction to push interest. There's so much out there, that just having cute toys isn't enough for a sustainable product line.

    It'd be seriously funny if these guys were an attempt by Soundwave to create minions before the Cassettecons that Went Horribly Wrong...

    I want a full animated series based on the BotBots. But I want the models to be way off. Then I want a series of Masterpiece figures based on the same characters, but accurate to the animation.

    All the botbots are gone where I am. On the bright side, I got the box the series 1 singles were in.
