I wonder if that is for Sainsburgeries who have the in-store Argos' which sell it as an exclusive to them? Or have they escaped to some Sainsburgeries' shelves?

I've seen these in my Sainsburys for a while. (As in 'on the shelf).

It has TR Frenzy, it's essential!
And at £12 is just more than one Legend

Depends whether you want a Frenzy or not. If you've got the other cassettes and want the set, £12 is pretty reasonable just for Frenzy alone. The Laserbeak included is better than the original TR one too, almost as good as the Takara one. The blue Ravage is as rubbish as Ravage is and the BB, well, great for three year olds, but it's a terrible, terrible toy that will make you realise you're a grown man playing with things you really shouldn't be.

The bird is Buzzsaw, not Laserbeak. Japan didn't get a Buzzsaw. There's one in Combiner Wars but it's nowhere near as good as this
The cat is Garboil (I think). It's about as good as the blue deco will get on that mould.

I saw that but again I mean, god, that mold. It's OKAY but I felt ripped off when I paid £20 for the TR version

Yeah, that's what I meant. The cat was called Howlback in the pack.

It's odd then that they didn't do a blue bird in the BB set to match that original sentries set. Perhaps they realised the original Buzzsaw was a bit crap colour-wise.

I prefer the new Soundwave to the TR one but not enough to buy it. If I could find TR soundwaves head I would sell it and maybe then replace with BB Soundwave.
But I can't. Im doomed to own 2 headless TR Soundwaves forever.

Do want Frenzy though. Can't be bothered to go to Argos though.

Our Buzzsaw could have been better
What are the options for the Ravage Mould? in an ideal world they'd have done a yellow Stripes as Steeljaw, as he was one of the original tapes not done who was an easy repaint. But I suspect the aim was an all Con box.

But yeah, now I'm miffed I got that pack of cassettes at just £16 - this is even better! £4 a Legends-class figure and a free Bumblebee! Bargain.

I now await ToyFu to be inundated with donations of this Bumblbee, as everyone just buys this cheap set for the "tapes".

Given the Bee to the boy already, he was grateful at least

Just because I can see the look on Nick's face now, I'll not do that and pass that 'Bee on to my niece instead. She likes zooming things across the floor, so I think it'll go down well.

I can confidently predict toyfus lucky dip will return to handle such donations.

How did it work? I'm imagining a rotating raffle drum that contains 10 mystery boxes, 5 that contain Bumblebee toys and 5 that hold real bees. The player must select a random box and discover if they have a fun bug or an angry bombini.
Actually, I'm almost tempted to sell this idea to ITV as a weekday game show.
