We have received a word that Transformers: Bumblebee movie based Tiny Turbo Changers are being distributed in the Unites States via Hasbro’s distribution center in California.
Each blind-bagged case is titled as TRA MOVIE EDITION TINY TURBO CHANGERS TRA MV6.
The distribution began two days ago on 02/20/2018.
Since it took just a little over 2 months for Authentics figures to go from Distributed to Spotted, we expect these figures to turn up at US retail around end of April or early May this year. At the moment, the Toys”R”Us placeholder Street Date is listed as 04/20/2018.
The toys were first identified back in last September with a confirmation which came three months later. The European release denotes each toy as ‘Transformers Bumblebee Movie Tiny Turbo’. This is also another instance of Movie Edition trademark being officially used.

Well, these Tiny Turbo Changers are already in distribution now. Which can only mean that they are well on their way for their April/May release date. Don't forget that these are gimmick lines. The mainline may very well be inside the Studio Series.

Do we think it will be that soon? Given that the movie is coming out in November/December, you'd think they wouldn't want them on shelves until a bit closer- unless they really believe they can have meaningful presence of many waves. I half thought they were going to combine them with studio series at one point (and maybe that's still on the table).

I traveled 3000 miles and picked them up from Times Square in New York, what's so harrrd about that?

I'm still trying to find Megatron but series 2 never showed up where I am.

I hope so! I'm interested in who the characters are more than anything.

Since we are less that 2 months away from these hitting the retail, I'm sure we'll get to see the toys in an official capacity on or before that. Besides, we know full well that licensed toys such as RC cars and diecast vehicles are ready for distribution as well.

I'm really surprised we haven't seen any leaks for the Bumblebee movie toyline.

With these coming out, I'm curious to see how, if at all, Hasbro and co. will continue to try to keep the names of the movie's robot cast a secret
