2005 Boards member Jtprime17 is giving us the heads up of a mysterious new listing on Amazon.ca: a new Hasbro Transformers Botbots Grand Opening Surprise.
There’s not much specific information about this product, so we are yet to know what it is or what it contains. We only know that it’s listed for pre-order for $ 39.99 CAD ($22.89 approximately), but with no release date yet. The indicated product dimensions are 3.8 cm x 33.0 cm, x 29.8 cm and a weight of 998 grams.The product code, for those who would like to keep an eye on this, is E5362.
Well, you can make your bets on what this surprise is. It seems quite a big box, so stay tuned with TFW2005 for more information once it’s available.

I wonder if it will be worth it to paint an old dollhouse into a Botbot display?
We have an old Dora house with a kitchen & bathroom.
Some printouts would be cool, so we can glue diorama backdrops into shoeboxes or something.
They need some atmoshere to shine in.

That grey part in the lower corner of the mall looks almost like a robot head.
Oh I tried to find that image from the release window – that shows the interior of the mall – but couldn't – I believe it's in the instructions, it has a number of shops laid out on 2 levels and a section in the middle for the "Lost Bots" if the Mall exterior looks like the art I linked *the background image* then perhaps the interior will look like the art.
If we get something nothing like that – then as I suggested before there is always the Lil'Bratz Mall Playset instead that I previously suggested if you can find one. or the Shopkins playsets.
I was thinking about the themes to come too – and some of what we have already and looking at the art that shows off characters from future waves that are musical instruments – I can see perhaps that the Lil' Bratz Rock Starz playsets might work OK too. They also have Beach themed and High school themed playset so perhaps the former might work for the sports gear or leisure items and the later for the school supplies.
There is also a Night Club – but i'm not sure that quite fits anything much so far – a bakery would be ideal or a Fast Food joint or coffee shop or concession stand .. if such a set was ever made.
Just a thought anyway.

So the grand opening surprise is 4 backyard rocks to stand your botbots on?
Hope they at least combine…

CamelCamelCamel dredged up a UPC of 630509823345 for this.

No joy on Brickseek for Walmart or Target, looks like a Hasbro Canada exclusive at this point? (Hope not, but it wouldn't be the first time…)

If the Mall can Transform too (into a robot) like the old Go Bots playsets – I'll be super impressed. If it's just a carry case to put them in that opens up that would be plenty useful.
Perhaps the promotional art is a clue as they show the mall in the art and the playset could look very much like that.

IDEA. I have a few buddies up north, so if these don't show up in the US I might be able to put together a Group Buy. Limit of one per person, you'd be paying a little more than list, call it an extra couple bucks per person for gas money and incidentals, and then you'd be responsible for your part of getting the Big Bundle across the border and then the costs of getting your box from me to you, but we've done similar things over on JPToys for stuff not available in the US.

WANT! Even if this is just an empty version of the preview kit with a couple new bots that'd still be cool…

Maybe its a treehouse like hatchimals has , or a toy mall like shopkins has.
Or a castle like He Man has.

A botbot combiner made out of toys

Those were just big boxes that just had a picture of the mall on the front, and inside was a TON of packs (the entire Series 1, all assortments) but no actual playset. There was approximately $275 worth of Botbots inside, there's no WAY these are that. Most people are thinking something more akin to an actual playset with several included Botbots.

correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't things similar to the proposed mall displays been mailed to "influencers" already?

Now I'm imagining a bizarre TFW remake of Cells At Work with each cell as a TF collector.
