Fellow board member Nevermore has spotted the first wave of Robots in Disguise 2016 Battle Packs. Found in the Müller drug store in downtown Gelsenkirchen, these packs consists of a Decepticon Hunter Optimus Prime vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Bludgeon and a Decepticon Hunter Sideswipe vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Anvil.
These Battle Packs are reportedly costing about 25 Euros ($27), almost exceeding the price of a Combiner Wars Voyager!
Will these Battle Packs join your collection?

Leader Grimlock and Optimus Prime, yes, and also Leader Bumblebee. Usually they had one of them per store, so if you wanted all of them, you'd have to check multiple stores.
They sometimes get really weird exclusives. Like the DOTM Legends (Legion) Bumblebee/Soundwave/Rodimus three-pack (Walmart exclusive in the US) or the Beast Hunters Predacons Rising Cyberverse Commander Optimus Prime/Predaking two-pack (Target exclusive in the US).

But I believe during AoE they had Leader Grimlock too, no? Odd since no other shop had that.

In Germany, Rossmann stores that have toy sections usually dedicate about one aisle to them, and their Transformers "section" is typically limited to 1-2 Legions, 1-2 One-Step Changers, one Warrior and a few Tiny Titans.

25 Euros? Müller is really being ridiculous. They tried selling CW Deluxes and RID Warriors for 28 EUR here, and after no-one bought them they brought down the price to normal levels but only half a year later.
Btw, the webshop I posted to having CW Combaticons has these too – for much cheaper, about 21 EUR.
And heh, I mostly go to Müller for their chocolate section. I wish they carried Ballisto – but even so they have stuff that sadly no other store imports from Austria.
Funny, Rossmann here in Hungary never tried the toy section – or well, anything else past bio-food. I think they are slowly being beaten by competitor DM.

Well, "Müller" is a "drug store" in the same sense MTV is a music channel. The stores that have toy sections have rather large toy sections (typically covering half of the second floor), unlike their competitor Rossmann (which has much smaller toy sections), and their prices usually match those of other chains like Real, Galeria Kaufhof or Toys"R"Us.

25 Euros! That's about 30 American. I thought that they were expensive here in the US.

It is nice to know that Transformers are finally being considered as drugs.

It's nice to know that drug store prices for toys around the world are equally terrible.

Decepticon Hunter Optimus Prime vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Bludgeon and Decepticon Hunter Sideswipe vs. Mini-Con Decepticon Anvil.
Seen at the Müller drug store in downtown Gelsenkirchen.
At 25 Euros per pack, the price is a bad joke, though.
