NEED Fangry.
And I seem to be in for all of the Beast repaints too, so, yeah. Someone will do a Bumper head as well and I'll be set. Ravage looking lovely too.

I've not fussed about any of the other exclusives or the BW stuff this year so I'm happy enough to drop on Fangry and pals when it's buyable. Not as hard a decision as it might have been during the height of Earthrise or Siege.

Is Netflix BB considered difficult to get? I’ve been cursing my impatience as I paid well over retail for a preorder import for him last year, and now there are loads of him on the shelves at a reduced price in Smyths over here. Netflix Bumblebees sitting on shelves, you say? Would you be able to pop into your local Smyths (or just check their website) and see if they still have some? They are in short supply in the UK and would be a great help to us next month at the TFN livestream.

Any idea on how or even if these will make it over here?

Most of the Buzzworthy line seems to be easily available to the dealers, I'd expect them to have it

It's a line mostly of figures cobbled together from different lines, but the toys considered to be part of the Generations contribution to it have been interesting. That being the core class Bee with Daniel, then the origins Sunbow one, now a weird four pack that everyone really only wants for Fangry. Over here it seems to pop up all over the place, but in the US I think it's a Target exclusive line. tfwiki.net/wiki/Buzzworthy_Bumblebee

The line isn't target exclusive, just that one particular core class Bumblebee.
I've seen them at walmart, but just dont remember what

I'd be interested to know what, because the general understanding is it is Target exclusive.
Now that may well be wrong, and the 4 pack turning up in Wal*Mart plus your testimony seems to indicate it is.
Equally they could both be rogue mistakes - recall the solids of Walgreens Brainstorm in Wal*Mart? - as the 4 pack refusing to ring up indicates.
Picture is certainly a little less clear, especially as there's been F all publicity for it from Hasbro.

Lots of random repacks of previous toys from various lines. The toys are not always Bumblebees. Mixed in are a few new toys, also seemingly at random. It is a puzzling line. -Ralph

Picture is certainly a little less clear, especially as there's been F all publicity for it from Hasbro. Walmart isn't as reliable to carry everything that's available to it, anymore. Cyberverse is functionally a target exclusive, as they're the only ones here who reliably carry it. Walmart dips in and out, most online US retailers haven't carried it (bbts only stocked the deluxes). I remember Buzzworthy at walmart because I too, thought it was a target exclusive line (i think it was the spark armor sets, but I'm not holding myself to that)

Hey I hadn't considered that.
Give show BA her proper gold legs, and while it may not be accurate, the black legs look better on Boxart BA.

Grimlock interchanging with two different Upper halves is encouraging for the main line

Post by Toph on Jul 13, 2021 23:51:02 GMT
That's not the same grimlock as the cyberverse combiner: That (and op and bee) is a repaint of the nurid crash combiner mold.

Post by Llama God on Jul 14, 2021 7:01:38 GMT
Grimlock is also one of the later nuRiD Crash Combiners (according to the wiki - I didn't know it existed). Why, of all the molds they have available to them, are they re-releasing these? Such a bizarre line - on the one hand, new Fangry, on the other, this shite. Still, it keeps things interesting...

It's a rather odd decision when there's a very similar line in Cyberverse.... are they compatible?

Kind of want the Bee and Grimlock set just because it reminds me of tigerstripe G2 Grimlock.

If this line is just a weird dumping ground with multipacks with no fixed price ranges, then they could easily use this as a way to reissue some rare toys, like nurid Ratchet and Adventure voyager Grimlock.
