Stepping up to the #BotBots challenge is U.S. retail, as TFW2005 member Inciteful shares the excellent news of finding BotBots at a Peoria, IL Walmart. Series 1 also appears online, for in store purchase only.
Remember to share your sightings news on the 2005 boards and happy hunting!

Yep, the numbers seem solid!

Numbers match. I went 5 for 5 today. Hopefully they keep this system for any future waves.
Autobot Daniel
Woohoo! Finally found some! Picked up four, based on the numbers. Should be Cocoa Crazy, S’up Dawg, Frostferatu, and Rootwing. Can’t wait to open ‘em up.
Grand Slam
For the record, I just did an independent analysis, and it matched this perfectly.

If they start putting them in the checkout lane then life will be perfect.
Right between the kinder eggs & lego mini kits.

Nah, the first "wave" of blindbags are just 24 of like 90+ dudes. So they can easily get the hype back by releasing the next wave of blinds once the holidays wind down.
But getting them out to stores in time to be stocking stuffers is great.

THANK YOU SIR!!!

Walmart dot com said they didn’t have them. They didn’t. Sigh.

Here's the best way I've seen, assuming you can find all the right sets at stores/on eBay without buying cases:

So what\'s the most efficient way to get a full set of Botbots? Between all the different \"packs\", I know you end up with some dupes, but what\'s the best way to get them all with the minimum number of dupes? I\'m sure somebody has taken time to figure it out?
Chaos Muffin
Give it a month , the hype will be gone. lol.
Theyre still awesome but yeah like Kreo…

in what twisted, fucked up, black mirror kind of world is finding botbots considered a failure?
Chaos Muffin
Perfect for failed hunts. Botbots will accompany me during my walks of shame.
Hang out on the dashboard on the way home while laughing at my failures.
Autobot Daniel
Walmart.com said these guys were in stock at my local store… checked tonight, nothing. Bah.

I bought all 24 at my Walmart. I can post a full list later if needed.

I like the price. $3.00 is my limit for blind bag stuff.

Thank you

Wether or not the plastic used in a single botbot is more or less expensive than in a McDonald’s happy meal toy, I don’t know. But I’m sure that a botbot took much more time to design.
Regardless, I don’t mind the price. Honestly, I thought they would cost more.

I dont know if it costs more but frankly its irrelevant. For a Transformer fan these are way cooler and offer more playability than a random Happy Meal toy and I dont really see the point in comparing the two.
