7-Eleven Japan has a Bumblebee movie announcement for next week

I wonder if it will be a rusty deco

Don't count on it. It will be something random like this:

well anyone want a trailer for BB optimus, you have an option

Not bad, but I wonder if the G1 trailer could also work

Otherwise...

Dunno g2 wont fit and I don't have a g2 trailer

Huh seems if you get that kreemzeek server error the original posting still goes through good to know for next time

FYI, you may be better off posting those in the Siege thread since that's the line this Prime figure is from.

If you are talking to me. You are mistaken that is the Bumblebee movie Optimus. Not siege

Right right, I meant studio Series. But I just noticed you did indeed post them there too. Cheers.

Found this today. Now I know what 7-11 is doing

(Don't know why the robot mode pic didn't automatically apply with my previous post)

Robot mode looks quite elegant, better than the Legendary version IMO.

As we previously stated, 7-Eleven Japan revealed a new toy today, on 3/8. It turns out it's a redeco of Legendary Bumblebee Movie Optimus Prime in Nemesis Prime colours, with all that lovely teal. It can be preordered now on the 7-Eleven site for 7500 yen plus tax. That is the only place to get it at the moment, so it's only available to Japanese residents. It may show up at site sponsors though (for a premium). The toy will be released September 13th, 2019, in 7-Eleven stores in Japan. You can check out the images below. Enjoy, and let us know what you think!

Finally, an official version of the knockoff that has literally been EVERYWHERE on eBay. I swear I could look up a potato on eBay on a computer that I've never used before, and this would still show up in the recommended results.

KO Trash-talk aside, this looks pretty cool.

The KO is more expensive though, right? At least more expensive than the original legendary prime.

So 7-11 huh? Hasbro should work with Circle K (insert local gas station/C-store here) to bring exclusives to the states. Fill your tank, get some smokes, maybe a scratch off ticket and an $80 toy.

This is the redeco I was hoping for to justify the figure. Hoping it's not too hard/pricey to get here.

Did you guys get these toys at gas sations in the 80s?

Not sure if this is realitivly new or not but spotted this in a Walmart in Colonial Heights, VA. It’s the Energon Igniter Shatter!

I don't remember seeing them at gas stations, but that doesn't mean much.

Funny story actually. One of my clients has a huge ESSO sign inside there building and I asked about it and apparently the building was an ESSO station originally (a company I've never heard of). On my way to the hotel in Laval, QC I saw an ESSO station. Crazy right?!

EDIT: ESSO is a trading name for ExxonMobil and its related companies.

insert the more you know meme here

ESSO stations are popular in Germany as well! More so, if you where stationed overseas, you used the ESSO stations because of the fuel stamps we had to purchase. That was a long time ago.

Slurpees, Transformers and even a history lesson - who woulda thunk it?

The US had Essos before they rebranded the company in 1972. The rest of the world never caught up with the rebranding though.

And Esso even appeared in the Japanese G1 cartoon:

That paint job is stunning!

As much as I would like to get this, I've got the original Weijiang OSKO Nemesis Prime. Being in Japan, the official version might be cheaper, but outside, I'm not so sure.

I reckon the official version is going to be over 100 dollars outside Japan, whereas the original Weijiang version is around 130 dollars or so (possibly including postage) here: - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=2750 ... Black.html .

Also, there's the newly released Black Mamba version (although the lorry mode is different) : - http://sirtoys.com/toys.php?c=23&p=4651 ... ck_BM.html . Thus version is about the same price as the official TT version. Both of the KO versions don't really have much teal, though.

I suppose it's great that there are at least three great options for a large, film-style Nemmy-P.

Nemesis Prime? Never thought I'd say this but...

*yawn*

Just wanted to show this, they had one of the Bumblebee Movie displays in a Walmart down the street from me, with blankets and posters. The poster in the middle was the one i bought, pretty cool!

That one sure is yawn inducing, never really thought the Evasion Mode version was as good as it could be. But the Legendary version really lives up to its name, it's beautiful with all the teal flames and added details.

Did that display just go up at that store? Most stores had them up in December and tore them down in January. I wonder if they're going back up for the home release of the movie? The posters are the same as the ones from the first run. Looks like wave 1 of the Mini-Bots reissues are in there, too.

They had one version up when the movie came out but then this particular one popped up. I guess they are just repurposing it. Adding the posters, blankets, pillows, and the Mini-bots. I bought one of the pillows awhile back, but at that time, they didn’t have th posters. So when i saw it, i thought they had torn them down. I posted a better shot of this particular display a week or two ago under the “Virginia Sightnings” where the opposite side was nothing but the Wave 1 Mini-bots. In my area, its the only display still remaining.

The bumblebee display in my area was always for bedding and the like, and its been up since last holiday season.

Mine was mainly toys, books, and activity sets (and the posters), plus the pillows. Ironically there were barely any actual Bumblebee movie figures, it was mostly Cyberverse and reissues (It's double sided).

Now that is sweet!

I'm 99% sure this does not belong on this thread, but I couldn't find the proper thread, so here goes:

Not sure if this has been shown, but spotted it at a local Target here in Virginia.

Really disappointed, I don't think that larger Blitzwing ever came out anywhere, and he is expensive everywhere online he is available

Alas the curse of the late wave, if it makes you feel better Helicopter Dropkick is a much better toy.

Really? I found both of those figures here at almost all my local Targets. Didn't think it was that hard to find

That's how it usually is. For some it's feast for most famine.

I was going to comment yesterday on this, I found these in a Target here in Virginia about three weeks ago. Of course they didn’t stay on the shelve long. Agree to what @chuckdawg said, you never know!
Not that this makes any difference but i included the photo i posted under “Virginia Sightings”!

I don't want to jinx but from what I remember Virginia's always good that way.

Transformers Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters Nitro Series Blitzwing and Dropkick are currently available on Amazon.com. Both figures are currently listed at $19.99 with free shipping for Prime members (not an Amazon Prime member? Sign up here!). Blitzwing and Dropkick have been elusive at best at brick-and-mortar retail so this might be your best chance to add these figures to your collection. While Blitzwing isn't a triple-changer, it's the best representation of each of these figures that actually transforms.

Make sure you share your brick-and-mortar store sightings in our sightings forum and sightings section and report your online sightings here.

Happy online hunting!

Been looking forever for these guys, and that Soundwave can too. Glad to know at least one place has them

Amazon has Soundwave too. Now what I'd like to know is, what happened to that Japanese exclusive one-step Volkswagen bumblebee? It was supposed to come out in September but it never showed up on Ebay or any import retailers.

Which Soundwave are you talking about?

I hope Blitzwing sticks around for a bit, I do want to get him but want to wait out SDCC to see if a Blitzwing in SS is upcoming or not.

We haven't heard much of Takara's Legendary Nemesis Prime toy since it was first revealed. For starters, it is out now and even though it is a 7-Eleven exclusive in Japan, North American collectible stores are reselling it on their sites, like BBTS who is selling it for $143. The fact that some fans have already received theirs means we get our first look at the packaging. We have a photo below which comes from Rookbartley who posted it on the TFW boards. For those that may be confused, this is a redeco of the leader class mold that was also only released by Takara. It's was a new mold based on the design of Age of Extinction Evasion mode Optimus Prime with new design elements and transformation steps.

143$US for this...
