Greetings, fellow Seibertronians! While the Transformers Tribute line has not seen much action, well, ever (numbering a grand total of three releases so far), that doesn't mean it isn't still around!

For those not familiar with the line, it uses existing molds from different Transformers toylines, redecoed and/or lightly retooled into representations of movieverse characters. In the case of movie Optimus, the molds used were WFC Optimus and Titans Return Kup (with a new Titan Master and deco). In the case of the line's Bumblebee 3-pack, it took Bee's original 2007 Camaro toy, his Age of Extinction "High Octane" mold, and the super-scarce-at-retail The Last Knight Camaro mold, all slightly redecoed. The only other release so far was a deco of the 2007 movie Leader Optimus Prime mold.

While these were Amazon online exclusives, it seems that at least one of the sets is making its way to retail discount stores in the U.S., as well. While perusing the shelves at TJMaxx in West Bountiful, Utah, this evening, yours truly was slightly shocked to find two of the Bumblebee Evolution 3-packs on the shelf, and at a very low price of $19.99, or about the price of a single figure! Photo proof is included below.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian Scottimus Prime, we have confirmation that Cyberverse Ultimate Class Bumblebee is starting to find its way into US stores! Found at a Walmart in Long Island, New York, the figure was priced at the standard $28.84.

Bumblebee is the only Ultimate Class figure slated for this wave, but there are still a sizable amount of figures to come in all other size classes (save One-Step Changers) in the near future. If you are lucky enough to find any of these, or any other upcoming figures in other lines, let us know in your areas sighting forum.

Best of luck, and happy hunting!

Thanks to Seibertronian I_AM... MEGATRON! on the Energon Pub forums we have our first sighting of Transformers Studio Series Leader class SS-34 Megatron and SS-35 Jetfire at US retail! Found at the Southern California Huntington Beach East Target they were priced at $49.99 each. Interestingly Jetfire's box is actually larger than Megatron's, a real rarity for Hasbro who almost never deviates with package sizes, especially within the same wave. This comes shortly after Deluxe class wave 5 was also first sighted in the USA.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread. And of course if you think this is a first time sighting feel free to let the news staff know here.

Well that was quick. We have news that Transformers G1 Hasbro reissues of minibots Gears and Warpath have been found at retail. Reddit user Webzphotomania found then at a Utah Walmart. They were priced at $7.86. The only other minibots present were the ones from the previous wave, meaning that Gears and Warpath are not packed with any other minibot we did not know of yet.

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

Out of all the G1 reissues we know so far that are coming out this year, the only one left to appear is Soundwave so let us know if ever you find him.

Keep your optics peeled and they could be popping up in stores close to you very soon (if they already haven't, in which case – you could have sent us a Toy Sighting).

We have a couple of new sightings to share with Canadians. Both come from Cybertron.ca. First we have the Dropkick and KSI sentry deluxe toys from the Studio Series line. Thes were found at the Maxie et Cie. grocery chain in Quebec for the same standard $30 price point. This grocery chain is part of the Loblaws family so those toys could show up at Loblaws as well.

Also, while EB Games had the Siege leaders, they are now showing up at Walmart as well.

Finally, the trailer less reissue of Optimus Prime has been found at Walmarts in Ontario and Alberta for $69.98.

In terms of market six stores, Winners and Marshals across the country are getting voyager class toys from Titans Return and Power fo the Primes for $15.

Wave 5 of Studio Series (or 2019 wave 1 as Hasbro calls it) has yet to be found in the US, but fellow Seibetronian Rainmaker has found the delues in Australia. This wave include Barricade, Sideswipe, Clunker Bumblebee, WWII Bumblebee and everyone's favourite, Crankcase.

These were found in KMart for $30 AUD (which is around $21.50 USD). If anyone else spots these in Australia, let your fellow Aussie friends know in the sightings thread. None of the classes for wave 5 (deluxes, voyager or leaders) have been found in several other areas of the world, like the US, so let us know if you find them.

While the US of A has been getting all the Siege toys first (just like it happened with wave 1 of POTP), the line has been propagating across the globe, finding many happy fans. Canada was missing the leaders, and while they have yet to hit Walmart or Toysrus, they have been popping up at EB-Games at $69.99 (which is the retail price for leaders in Canada now). They can also be purchased online (though randomly allocated).
As for Australia, we have had reports that the first wave (except for leaders) is being found at Toy World shops. The prices are $12 for Battle Masters, $40 for Deluxes and $55 for Voyagers.

The prices listed in the article are of course in the currency of the country the product was sighted.
