With the Age Of Extinction toyline coming to a close, news of finding new toys for it isn't exactly something you'd expect to see right now, but considering it's a Construct Bot set? Even more surprising. Well, that's exactly what we have to share with you today!
Now, we present the Wal*Mart exclusive Construct Bots Bumblebee with Strafe VS Decepticon Stinger set, found by Seibertron staffer ScottyP and he included an image, of course. Here's what he had to say on his find:
Oh look, something else I didn't know existed! Walmart exclusive AOE Construct Bots Bumblebee with Strafe vs. Stinger. BB Rider figure is a slight redeco. Strafe has a G2 style deco similar to the Target exclusive Grimlock Construct Bot but it's not a direct homage to a canceled toy like that one was.
Bought at a Walmart in Raleigh, NC for 19.98. UPC is 653569983408
If you're looking for this set, now's the time to search, and if you do find it, share your sightings with us by posting it in the sightings forum! Remember, if you find something new and exciting, send an email to us at sightings@seibertron.com so you can receive credit for the find and you'll get your name posted in the article for all to see!

It's really interesting how the 3 major chains each have their own theme for exclusives. Target has the White Knight Optimus (and not just on toys), Walmart has the Stinger and BB fight, and TRU has the evolution of the charaters (my personal favourite theme of the three).
I feel target got the bum deal of the three, even if their (foc) grimlock and (dotm) optimus redeco 2 pack is one of the best things to come out of the entire movie line. I am sure they were told it would represent a scene where Optimus takes on this knight armour/look, but that scene was probably toned down as the movie evolved. We still see him change ever so slightly when he takes the sword from the spaceship, but it is nowhere near what I am sure was told to Target when this promotion was set up.
Here is some more exclusive Target merchandise.

It looks like Strafe comes with some new parts if it's dual wielding sword tails.

Awfully convenient these listings go up the day after Hasbrotoyshop's promotional discount comes to an end...
I have some interest in the Autobots United set, because of the repainting (and the face plate on Evasion Optimus), but not quite enough to drop $125 and tax.

Hmmm...pretty tempted to get the AU set since there is a 20% off and free shipping discount going on right now. The total comes out to $106.49 with tax. I have just had realy really bad luck ordering many things from Hasbro. Three times now I have gotten figures with two left fists, two right legs, or the latest was sending me the Kreo Botcon pack in a super large box without ANY of that crappy brown paper they put in there. The box was beyond damaged and my replacement (smaller box with paper) still arrived damaged. Is it worth the hassle to save about $30? I'm perplexed

I'd order the Dinobots if they weren't Voyager-priced at $24/each.
Also, I could be wrong, but usually coupon codes don't work on HTS exclusives, so they might not work on these sets. Has anyone tried?

That's the "7th" one I couldnt think of. I must say, it is an amazing mold to own many of, probably my second favourite to come out this year (#1 is MP Wheeljack).

- bought the takara version first thinking itd be my only one and it was slightly better than the hasbro one.
- next was takaras rusty version, liked it even though it wasnt the "truest" representation
- went for breakout battle cause it WAS the truest version of rusty
- got evolutions for the classics OP
- ebay'd the asia voyager grim 2 pack for grim actually
- grabbed the AU set for the other 4 bots
- and eventually got the hasbro retail one for completions sake (and on sale)
its funny cause i only really wanted... what? less than half of them

I was reading the bio of the Walmart exclusive Stinger and Slug 2 pack that never came out in Canada (and doesnt show any signs to).
About this item
One Decepticon is bad enough, but two is a nightmare! These Decepticon Stinger and Dinobot Slug figures are a scary alliance against the Autobots! Your Decepticon Stinger figure is a fearsome foe whether he's in robot or sports car mode, but he's even stronger when Dinobot Slug fights at his side as a robot or dino. Autobots might as well run for cover when Dinobot Slug fires his mighty cannon! Keep changing them both from one mode to the other as the battle rages on! Transformers and all related characters are trademarks of Hasbro.
What are these people smoking????? In reality, I say this is corporate broken telephone and aside from checking for spelling mistakes, it wasnt proofread more than that.

Which means it's not a bio, but a product description, which was evidently written by someone who works on Walmart's website but wasn't aware that Slug is a good guy.

It has been quite some time since we last saw or heard about the licensed Transformers Age of Extinction/Lost Age Optimus Prime non-transforming statue, produced by FuRyu - but Seibertron is happy to show off a nice look at some in-hand images of the collectable figure, highly detailed, nicely painted and in a chunky box to boot. Check them out below!

Looks good. Neck is a bit skinny and he's a lot shorter than I thought he'd be for the price (most prize figures at his price are around 7 inches), but he's also got a pretty detailed sculpt so I guess I can forgive it. I came really close to canceling my order for him, but now I'm glad I didn't. I did cancel my prize BB order, but I might track a used one down later if he's any good.
Also, that art on the side of the box is pretty nice, very TFP looking in its simpler CG.

Given how the transformable attempts at Knight Optimus went, I think one with just the robot mode is more than welcome.

Something about the proportions. It sorta looks like Ironhide in Optimus Prime cosplay.

That was my exact thought, his big head looks like Ironhide's and the body is a little on the skinny side. It's affordable though. The definitive version of the new Optimus Prime's robot mode would be the model coming out late December.

hiya holks, i wanted to share this: my autobots united 5-pack (sorry crappy phone pic). this is a half assed review i guess 
i skipped the general releases of hound, drift, and crosshairs, and boy am i glad i did. hound is a really great figure with PILES of weapons, only drawback being his feet. drift and crosshairs have their drawbacks, but are still some really nice figures. bee is bee, and prime is prime. and some of these figures biggest flaws were the paint apps, which were completely rectified with this set. they are stunning.
and take it from someone who knows EMOP's (ive got 7 and counting), AU prime is probably the best one. one of the few with a faceplate, perfectly placed and crisp paint apps. only thing missing is the wheel rims... *sigh*

Fellow Seibertronian Bounti76 has let us know about the special Amazon edition of Transformers: Age of Extinction Slog, the one featuring the G1 deco to accompany the SDCC Dinobot exclusive box set. It appears that a release date has finally been set, and those who ordered the figure will see it arrive by the beginning of January!
I got an email from Amazon a while back that they were shipping part of an order I'd placed. When the order was first placed, they expected a release date of mid-December for their exclusive G1 redeco of AOE Voyager Class Slog, but it had subsequently been changed to an undetermined release date.
Well, I finally got a follow-up email with them stating that they now have a release date! Attached is the email I got. Looks like he'll be arriving the first week of January!

Got my $25 Leader Grimlock from Amazon! Now the Voyager version will be relegated to my "Transformers that kids are allowed to play with" collection (as opposed to the "These are daddy's figures; don't touch!" collection).

I thought that would be the same with me but as it turns out, I take the voyager out more simple because it is more in scale with the others.

I cancelled this figure a long time ago. Hasbro toy shop sold me an SDCC set with a grimlock that had chipped chrome. They refused to exchange just the grimlock. When I got the set exchanged, the figures were perfect but the playset was all torn and damaged. I returned that crap for good and stuck with the colored retail versions. I really never needed these anyways, it was just an impulse buy. Fansproject has the G1 dinobots covered.

You sure, I heard their Slag wasn't as expected.

Hey does anyone know if Toys R Us is going to get the Transformers: Age Of Extinction platinum edition sets?? I haven't seen any and it said online that the Autobots United set was released in October.

They already have them but not in big amounts and are not prone to reorder them sicne they are quite expensive, take a lot of shelf space, and might not sell right away. The only place you would not find them is in the province of Quebec in Canada due to language laws.

Comment for William-James88: Do you think they will be in stores in the U.S. eventually though?

As I said, they should already be there. Only the Dinobot 5 pack has not been released yet. If you do not find them in your store, then it's because your store has not ordered or reordered it. These are not known to stay in stores for long. So if they are not there right now, then I would not count on them showing up again, except for the dinobot pack that hasnt come out yet.
But why not try online at Toysrus.com. Most are expensive enough to warrant the free shipping. I always shop at online retail stores now, they are more likely to have your figure in stock.

So, Alfes 2010 managed to get a hold of the sword. Cool.
Though, shouldn't this be in the Lost Age/Movie Advanced Series thread?
