After our first mysterious sighting of the Studio Series SS-15 Bumblebee & Charlie toy at Target, we finally have new stock photos of this slight repaint with extra parts of the SS-01 Bumblebee (Camaro).
This is a very interesting set which includes several extra parts to customize the Camaro 77 alt mode. To top it all it also includes 2 different sheets of stickers to add extra details and racing marks to the alt mode. After our first sighting at Target, it was not seen again at any other store. Today via Entertaintment Earth we have not only great stock photos with all the customizing options and inserts, but we have some extra information about the origin of this set.
The name “Rebekah’s Garage” could be traced back to January in our Toys”R”Us exclusive listings news post. This set was originally planned as another exclusive for the now out-of-business legendary toy store. From the original list, only SS-09 Thundercracker was released via Toys”R”Us, but we still have 2 more sets planned that may see the light (or not) in the future: 141434 – EX TRA Optimus Starscream Set ($24.99) and 141450 – EX TRA Street Racer ($16.99).
Now we can be sure this SS-15 Bumblebee & Charlie is having a wider release, since most of our sponsors have it for pre-order for around $30.00 and expected for release by the September/October this year. Don’t forget to check our sponsors below to order yours.

Update: Bigger and clear images of packaging (featuring a ToysRUs sticker), parts and alt mode added.

i can confirm the windshield on ss15 holds on better than it does on ss01

I passed this guy up at the comic book shop a couple weeks ago. He was priced at $39.99 which felt way too high. Plus I heard the QC issues from the first release are still present, PLUS less paint makes him look kinda cheap in person. I don't think I'm interested in this set anymore.
Nevermore
It's apparently a "shared exclusive" between several online retailers that was found at exactly one Target store for whatever reason.

Not that I care but what happed to this set? Was it a Target exclusive or not? I never saw it in my area.

I went to the customer service desk, and they scanned it. It didn't show up in his computer. He said it's not an item from Target. I didn't fucking show it to a random kid working on the floor.

Well if a Target employee said it then it must be true.

Ill let you know but I only found that one.
MrNiceGuy
Doubt it. It's probably based on a concept drawing for the character given to the sculptors early on or something.
I like the toy look better, though.
