I am so torn…

Axle grease was my first experience with the mold and floppy as heck. I don’t want to go into this mold again. But the deco looks good and I want to support more RID characters

Saw this at Target. For the current prices, easy pass.

This is the scraphook mold, not axle grease.

I managed to see this on Pulse at 12:11 central and preordered it. I went back to pull up the pictures and it didn't even register. It was only after they sent the email to premium members that I found the link working again.

If I can get this Tow-Line, I'll grab it for the sake of completing my junkions.

That is exactly why I got it. I'm hoping the other limb that eventually is released ( assuming a Crashbar repaint/slight retool?)is an autobot for a faction aligned Combiner.

I've always wondered what a G2 Junkion would look like... :lol:

It’s Wreck Gar. Someone posted a photo of him on a Reddit.

I am hoping we get a repaint of Trashmaster as RB Salvage. The bright yellow and blues would look better with the bright green than the rust browns

I checked my Target, they haven't stocked him yet. I'll wait though, most of the single release buzzworthy guys are easy to find.

Heads up, Targets are starting to get ROTB Prime. Went to a local one to try and get one, but they had just come off the truck and weren't out on shelves yet

Stopped at yet more targets yesterday and today, no sign of Prime, Towline, or the Mirage/Airazor/Bumblebee 3-pack, which started showing up at retail this weekend.

Fun news for Americans, several new exclusives in the Buzzworthy Bumblebee line are being found in Target stores. Here is a breakdown of the sightings:

- Transformers Rise of the Beasts Jungle Mission 3-Pack, which has Cheetor, Mirage and Airazor (finally) found by 3P Desperation in Daphne, Alabama

- Transformers Studio Series Rise Of The Beasts Optimus Prime found by Taureanstar in Mooresville, North Carolina

- Transformers Studio Series 86 2 Pack, featuring a dying Prowl and Ironhide, found by CringeMcCringle in Bainbridge, Ohio (AOE Grimlock was also found at that location and has been out for a little while, but just a heads up in case people don't know)

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Many of these, the two pack and Grimlock are date locked 7/30 and most people have been reporting stores are not allowing purchase

I got Towline from Pulse earlier this week, and they just sent a message that the dying Autobots will ship out soon.

Ive seen all but Prime. In store inventory checker says Primes all around but won't sell yet stock has dwindled. What is the point of street dating products that are on shelf....gasp...at a retail store??? They was out months ago.

Look, here’s how it works: the street date is either tied to the DPCI OR the barcode. It just depends. Sometimes the DPCI which is on the case box is good so when they scan it a flag doesn’t get raised so it gets put on the shelf because the employees are not scanning every item which is understandable. They literally have pallets and pallets of products on hand they can’t scan every single one. That’s why they scan the case box stuff comes in. And sometimes it’s the other way around where the dpci is flagged with the date and the upc is good. I had that issue with Kingdom Galvatron where his upc was fine but his dpci wasn’t and I had to beg the guy to just scan the figure and it will show it’s available.

Is it a Flawed system that both upc and dpci are not in sync and sometimes stuff worh street dates gets put on shelves? Yes but it’s that way because DPCI is a code that gets used over and over. That’s why stores show stuff is in stock on 3rd party sites like brickseek when in reality it’s not actually there. Is it always the employee who doesn’t know a single thing about the stuff they stocks fault? No not always. They’re just doing their job and these just products to be stocked.

My local target shows how much luck I've had:

Not even a Tow-line in sight

Posted by Sabrblade on July 28th, 2023 @ 10:44am CDT

I've seen two Tow-Lines at my nearest Target, but both of them had atrocious paint applications on their faces, so I passed on both in hopes of eventually finding one with good face paint apps.

Finally managed to get Prime. Gotta say he's a pretty solid figure. Kinda wish that he also had an unmasked head and that his hips worked differently, but he can still hit a solid chunk of poses. Overall I'd say he's worth the money, but not what scalpers are trying to sell him at

Who has had luck finding this toy in stores? While he has been out in the US, there is not enough stock at the moment to answer the demand which has lead to high prices on the secondary market. But is this toy worth it? We have a review below for anyone interested in knowing the most about Studio Series ROTB Optimus Prime from the Buzzworthy line.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:The Rise of the Beast figures released under the Studio Series line have been fantastic. Optimus Prime finally joins their ranks and the figure is great! Transformation is smooth and rather intuitive. My only complaint is that I feel his arm cannon seems a bit small. If you can find the figure at retail it's definitely worth the purchase.

I had one preordered through target and pulse, since they have been less reliable lately with preorders. My pulse one shipped and should be here tomorrow, so i cancelled my Target order which was backordered to August 10 as of my cancellation

I need help with getting Studio Series ROTB Optimus Prime.
Hello. Lets get straight to the point, I do not live in the US, UK or Europe and i cannot order myself a SS ROTB Optimus Prime which is why I have to ask for help. There is a service in my country that can help me deliver packages from UK or US and if your local Target(or any other store) has him and you can purchase multiple of him, please contact me. I need 3 of him for myself and my friends. I will pay for the 3 figures and shipping. Thanks in advance

You should probably tell people what country you do live in rather than the ones you don't if you want people to commit to helping you.

If you're looking for Tow-Line be sure to check everywhere. It has a tag on the main aisle endcap facing electronics, but for whatever reason they stuck him on the back endcap with the clearance stuff (at full price) at my local Target.

I am still waiting on Target's app to get the listing for Towline and the Scourge's Victims 3-pack. I won't be anywhere near a Target for probably a month now

Well, I got IronProwl on Wednesday, Tow-Line on Thursday, and Prime on Friday. I was hoping the app would put the new 3-pack up for sale, but I'm scared that every Target I go to won't have it. Same goes for Beast Weaponizer Arcee.
