I'd buy a case if it guaranteed 24 different figures but no way I'm paying that for doubles. Phil- do we know what the breakdown is in this? Exvee on the RFC podcast stated that it would be 24 different figures, but I'm not sure where he got that from? |

Not a clue. Real life and a lack of interest on my part has stopped me looking too closely

I asked on tfw. A sealed case of 24 SHOULD give 24 unique molds, many of which can only be found in the single packs and not the multipacks.

Saw the Botbots in Smyths but lost interest when I saw that different packs had duplicate toys (!) and that the blind packs were designed so they can't be felt. The latter was a shame but the former moved me from 'I must have these' to not spending a penny!

I thought we already knew they were duplicated in different teams?

We did. Isn't it to encourage trading? I thought it was standard for that type of toy. Like getting doubles in sticker packets.

That's a line killing decision. I was about to buy some until I noticed. Ech. No harm done. Bought a nice lunch instead! -Ralph |

UK prices I make that to be £180 for 61 Botbots and a further 15 doubles.
And that's assuming you bought a sealed case of the single packs.

Maybe we should be sticking these posts in the Botbot thread, Phil? Anyway the single backs have a number stamped on them on bottom right, which corresponds to the character inside.   |

It's almost like these are for kids and not collectors :S
(Did I say that already?)
who's in charge of naming anyway? Totes Magotes is the best Transformers name ever.
FOMO - acronym for Fear of Missing Out. Are HASBRO making a commentary on the exploitation of their adult collector base? I've blown this conspiracy wide open.

I can confirm by the way that those codes do indeed work wonderfully.

I had a shot of Nick's Bot Bots. I...thought they were quite poor. I couldn't tell what most of them were supposed to turn in to. They seemed a bit...crap. I wept. I want to like them for being something different and not G1 for the nth time but they did nowt for me.  -Ralph |

I found them for the first time last night, and hasbro seriously needs to redesign these packages.
About two thirds were blatantly stolen.
And of the three I purchased, one had been broke into, stole, and reclosed in a not so obvious way.
I'm livid.

If they were £1 or £2 maybe worth while, but Im not going ot spend £165 on these. Also Im pretty confident I'll find them at car boot sales for about 10-20p within a few months. |
