Good news for Canadian collectors. The new Studio Series SS-15 Highway Freedom Bumblebee & Charlie was spotted At Toys”R”Us Canada.
This set contains SS-01 Camaro Bumblebee mold featuring new customizable parts for the alt mode, and a Charlie Watson figurine. This pack was planned originally as a ToysRUs exclusive, but it made it’s way at Target in the US and then available via US online retailers.
Since ToysRUs stores are still running in Canada, this pack is finally available there via ToysRUs Canada website and in physical stores (reported by 2005 Boards member neevnav) for CAD $39.99 ($30.67 approximately).
And Canadian fans are getting even more exclusives. The Transformers: Cyberverse Warrior Class Thundercracker is also available at ToysRUs Canada website for CAD $19.99 ($15.33 approximately).
Happy hunting to all Canadian fans!

Yes, those are TRU Canada tags.

Thinking with those parts, they could retool Bumblebee into Shatter or Dropkick. Just a thought, not going to happen.

To be honest, I don't know how you manage to keep up with it all, but it's great that you do I guess 'Street Racer' makes more sense for this, but then other retailers are all calling it Rebekah's Garage. I wonder if one will turn out to be the Bumblebee two pack that's not shown up anywhere yet.

Very interesting. I hope to grab this set someday.

neevnav is from Canada. That's presumably a Canadian TRU shelf.
It's still newsworthy regardless.

The real "exclusive" is that $40 dollar pricetag on an undersized deluxe with a couple extra bits of plastic. Because $30 wasn't ridiculous enough. You keep that shelf warm, Bee.

With those prices, that is likely not a USA sighting. I don't recognize the tags at all, so if it is US its a tiny chain.

Has this been reported before? If not, then this would definitely be news.
EDIT: Wait, I thought this was the "Rebekah Garage" set, and "Street Racer" was different from that?

I think I saw Bumblebee with Charlie yesterday when I was getting VW Bumblebee and DOTM Ratchet.

Actually these were originally intended as Toys"R"Us exclusives (we saw listings for these months ago), it's just that Toys"R"Us no longer exists in the US. They're still TRU exclusives in Asia and Canada, where TRU still exists.
Bumblebee Highway Freedom was found at a single Target store in the US, was announced to be an Entertainment Earth "exclusive" and is now listed by numerous US-based online retailers. Thundercracker has thus far not been acknowledged by Hasbro at all, lest alone been given a US venue that we know of.

Yeah, I think these are Target exclusives in the USA, or something. But we don't have Target in Canada (well, they tried, and utterly bombed within a year), so I guess this is where we're at.

Well, there are still two more unknown unreleased TRU exclusives remaining, "Optimus Starscream Set" and "Street Racer".

At first I saw Tru exclusive, and got ready to rage. (Being American and not having a TRU anymore)
Then I saw it was cyberverse trash and yet another Bumblebee, and breathed a sigh of relief.

What exactly? The figures (which we obviously know about already) or the fact that they're listed at TRU Canada (which I haven't seen reported before)?

…This isn’t new.
