    A cricket named... Crickets.

    I'd keep my eye on that guy. Might be a Predacon who studied under a tarantula named ... Tarantulas.

    You never know. He might be good buddies with Manta Ray and Beetle and sworn enemies with Rhino and Panther.

    He has to be careful, he heard about those super lucrative cricket kidnapper rings. :)

    Given his names' similarity to my user name, and how I'm old enough to have had computers like that growing up, I feel particularly targeted by Gamerguy1027, and he's going on the list of Botbots I need to find alongside Retro Recon and Pew Pew Pew (who I'm choosing to believe was inspired by the fantastic Canadian punk band Pkew Pkew Pkew :D ) once this wave has been out for a bit

    Anyone else notice it says series 7 on the controller's instructions??
    Makes me sad we may never get the original series 6.

    Is anybody missing accessories? I think the below are supposed to have chopsticks and a spoon. I can't recall what the white thing went to. Does the egg have any accessory?















    Edit: blue gnome dude is missing something too.





    Edit 2: the fish is missing one fin and I found the spoon in the poop bag inside one of the two. Duplicate still missing. Now that I've gotten to messing around with them, man are the tolerances waaaaay too tight on a number. Never experienced it on any of the previous series, and I have every figure so far.

    Okay, this is the pic I took when I got my shipment. I don't see the gnome's accessory or the poo bag's (nor how it would even fit).

    Good sir you appear to have several very long Dachshund figures on your counter.

    Well he's called 'Taran-tyu-lass' really not taran-tulers as in the plural of tarantula.

    Being called Crickets in the plural is a little pecular though I will admit.

    Still no sign of Hasbro UK aknowledging Botbot's existance I asked around and all I hear is well "Crickets" so to speak.

    We need to set up a protest where we hold up banners and flags with the little poo guy on them.

    Say their names, dangit.

    Yes they have chopsticks and a spoon.
    Unfortunately in the single packs the accessories are wrapped separate in the paper. You have to be careful or you may miss it completely.
    The white thing goes to the T bone steak looking guy.
    The egg doesn't have any extras.
    The garden gnome should have a stick.
    In one of the multi-packs one of the accessories (can't remember which) was hidden next to a different figure.

    Hope this helps.

    it says series 7, doesn that mean that hasbro could still technically have a series 6? i wouldnt be the FIRST time a subline's wave would be released out of order, not that it means hasbro WILL do it this time, just that there is still a chance

    Well the original series 6 was slated for production right when covid happened. The current series 6 was going to be series 7. So technically they could redo and release the wave under wave 7. I would hope they do. Or even do a limited run for the entire set for their pulse store. I know i would get it.
