TFW2005 user prime roller shares with us pictures of The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changers figures being available in Toys R Us Taiwan for approximately $5. According to his sighting, these are the second wave, which includes Sqweeks, Chopter, and Hot Rod, amongst others.
Packaging shows Movie 5 Optimus and Bumblebee and indicates a total of 12 distinct figures to collect.

Yes in general blind bags are not great for buying individually. Rare to find somewhere at decent price and has everything you want.
I will wait, want the satisfaction of finding them and using ninja skills to pick up all the ones i want.

A nearby TFW'er has a spare Chopter, but he's too far away to handoff and the shipping would be twice the price of the figure…

Why F don't you resign yourself to buying them all! Just go shoot it is 36 dollars or something. I learned that the first time round after immediately going to buy the rest after a taster. I mean comon you going pass on berserker cogman and ironhide. Leave drift all alone. Lockdown hello.
Anyway, still cant find series 2, they could be out they just aren't out. No way i am buying them scalper price…

Alright. After getting Sqweeks, Shockwave, and Thundercracker I was done.
Then @Awesomepow recommended Chopter, so I nabbed him too… then I was done.

Now I'm done.

Some people think they have to spam the same exact comment everywhere, see also the various "kinggrimlock" accounts in various TTC-related threads.
Nevermore
You keep repeating yourself. And what's with the all caps?

Even the Star Wars blind bags had different UPC's… this is the kind of half-ass phone-it-in that saw Universal play Darth Vader to Hasbro's Admiral Ozzel on the Jurassic franchise. That's why they're going all-in on getting their own IP onto the big screen, that way there's nobody to tell them…

It's not just that – the way Hasbro has been handling the Tiny Turbo Changers (one catch-all UPC barcode for the entirety of Series 1 and 2) means most online retailers will never put up separate listings for Series 2, and I still haven't been able to gather a complete set of stock photos for Series 2 either:

But Sqweeks didn't-exist yet.

Here's irrefutable proof that this Sqweeks toy was in the planning even before PCC came out!

Yeah…

Chopter… I meant Chopter, not Grindor.
I do worry about the ol' "gonna just get my favorites" becoming "gotta get them all" scenario.
Any car ones considered best, or worth recommending?
How much do these things go for in other places in the world?
DeletedUser_119270
Heh lol my list of what I still need is
Lockdown
Grimlock
Chopter
Berserker
Shockwave
Sqweeks
I have
Shadow Armor Grimlock
Blackout
Crosshairs
Soundwave(painted to Protoform X)
Maybe Berserker is also to be considered.

@Awesomepow you got me looking at pictures of these things again. And I've convinced myself you're right… I need that Grindor!
…thanks?

OMG series 1 is shelf warming like crazy. Most stores have 2 or 3 full boxes just sitting there. No sign or hope of series2.
Over zelous on the expectations of the line perhaps, most people who bought series 1 have probably lost interest waiting for the next series… Great going there buisness people.
