2005 Boards member Hollywood Hoist rreports finding the two Bot Shots three packs at a Toys R Us in Washington. These two cool three packs include additional characters to build up your Bot Shot collections – on the Decepticon side there is a set of Acid Storm, Megatron and Nemesis Prime, while the Autobots get a booster set of Bumblebee, Sentinel Prime and Prowl!

I just picked up both of these three-packs at Walmart tonight. They were $8.96 (minus $3.00 for using the coupon- nice!). I was surprised to see it was about a dollar more than Target, but still not a rip-off like $14.99 at TRU! I'm telling you, TRU's prices are horrible, for almost everything I've looked at there! Like JamesBenjamin said a week or so ago, I don't know what anyone would ever buy LEGO (or Transformers, or Pokemon cards, or…) there unless they were on sale, or an exclusive. I guess I am lucky to have an insane amount of Targets and Walmarts nearby! /rant
The three-packs are really nice. There were three of the Autobots pack and only one of the Decepticons pack when I picked them up- I want another Decepticon pack!

There's some sort of larger giftset that also seems to have the same grey tires Bumblebee in it. so so far that's Bumblebee (wave 1) Bumblebee (autobot giftset) Bumblebee (chase) & bumblebee (battlemask) + another repack of the second sort.
I'd rather had a stealth one in the 3 pack personally.

Wow, the 3 packs are only $7.99 at Target and Walmart? I'm glad that I set put back the one that I saw at TRU the other day at $14.99. That's a mad-crazy mark up. Also, with the singles being $1 more than every where else, I think I'll be avoiding TRU when it comes to the BotShot figures.

Is the DPCI for the individual bot shots the same for the 3 pack and the one with launchers? So far I've only spotted the Autobot 3 Pack at my local TRU.
BenjaminXavier
So like Lego stuff, TRU is now marking things up like 90% ($8 to $15).
I really hate TRU.
Spoiler
Walmart has the same price of $7.99 for the 3 pack.
Agent Adam
Yeah, at that price it actually is a "super value."
BenjaminXavier
$7.99 for the 3 pack? That's a great price!
Agent Adam
These are also $7.99 at Target, much better price than at TRU.
BenjaminXavier
Check the "prime at Target" thread, there's a list of all the DCPIs buried in there on like page 3 or 4 or something.

Wow, thanks for the info, now I know I have to get this 3-pack!
There's another Bumblebee variant, from wave 2, a translucent one.

What's the DPCI for the sets?

the BBs are different
I picked up a battle pack and all the single packs (except for the super bot 001 – sentinal prime) and to answer your question BNY888 – the bumblebee's are different. Slight color change, tires different color and the hit points on the chest are different. Also the windshield is different. Kinda reminds me of Prime/RID bumblebee vs the NYCC prime bumblebee (orange vs yellow) I grabbed these guys at TRU in Sacramento.
**added** also Prowl is repainted to become Barricade, and of course Prime is painted black for Nemesis Prime, Starscream mold for Acid Storm

Is the Bumblebee from the 3-pack any different from the singe pack?
Spoiler
Wow, so, they shortpacked even the botshots here?! I just picked up my set of Decepticons, and it appears to be a 3:1 packing rate, Bots being the 3.

Definitely want the Acid Storm 3-pack for the Acid Storm. The Prowl one is a maybe.
Shark Jumper
I would like bot stats of each for comparison if I want.
So far it seems like each bot will have at least one stat that overpowers the other in a tie breaker.

Same. Just picked up both sets in Tigard Oregon from TRU.
The packaging numbers each character starting with BP001 for Bumblebee and Acid Storm is "Super Bot 006". I wish they had used the same numbering scheme as the single packs.

I picked up a 3 pack today at TRU. It was on sale for $12.99. The singles were still $4.99. I only saw the Autobot 3 pack, which included Prowl, Bumblebee and Sentinel Prime.

I hope Toys R Us will have deal where you buy Transformers worth x combined and get a pack of botshots free. I don't see myself buying these toys otherwise.
