    True...... the sanest thought would be to sell Individual themed stores, with modular construction so a) the stores could link up and b) if a team or tribe grows, the store could be expanded......I figure it could run for $20, as much as a Deluxe......the downside is that Deluxes are hard to find for months (Siege Wave 2 comes to mind)........they could have the stores link up and have maybe some what larger sets (or accessories packs like escalators/ stairs) also link up.......

    Earth to Hasbro, SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

    Maybe some carts and kiosks as small playsets that transform into vehicles/bunkers for the smaller tribes...

    I figured building the mall would be easier, with the ability to say design it’s layout, would be better than a set that’s set (every other playset)

    Right. I was thinking maybe either upgrade the full "stores" to Voyager size and make kiosks/cart "vehicles" Deluxes, or Deluxe stores and a Voyager box with 2 kiosks/carts/etc. The Spoiled Rottens DEFINITELY need a Dumpster that turns into a bunker or battle-bus or something...

    The way to go on those woulda been put together a Group Buy to get a ton of 'em into the country as one huge package, then have the person designated to receive forward them on from there.

    Is there a Botbot Remote Control or Game Console in production yet?

    Not that we're aware of, but there are a few we've found in Toyfair pics that were in robot mode, and whose alternate modes are not obvious from the angles at which the photos were taken.

    Use the Botbots barter thread:Botbots barter/trade/for sale

    Alternatively, use eBay, they're pretty cheap there as well since King Toots is one of only 2 bots in Series 1 that appears in 4 separate packs.

    So do we have to figure out which packs (in series 2) contain dupes or did they just make 1 pack per team?

    Series 2 will be like Series 1. You'll have to buy a lot of dupes (and possibly a few triples) to get everything.

    We're still waiting on the breakdown for the 8-packs to be revealed before the most efficient way to get everything will be known.

    Toughdown isn't in BB1. The Lost Bot for that pack is Lovestruck, according to M Sipher.

    Also, the Lost Bot for SH1 is Ol' Tic Toc.

    EDIT: Wait, you're numbering them different from M Sipher now. Uh.. just double-check that spreadsheet again. A few of yours are off. Lovestruck and Sprinkleberry are the two Lost Bot "doubles" in the 5-packs, and Toughdown is only in 1 of the packs.
