Thanks to 2005 Board member GiganGoji for giving us the heads up of his sighting of the Transforrmers Botbots Series 5 Blind Bags at US retail.
These new lemon green blind bags bring us new tribes and Botbots, including the new hard to find Golden Botbots from the Winners Circle tribe. They were found at Grocery Outlet stores (discount retailer, active in six states) in Washington for $1.99 each.
Don’t forget that you can also find the complete Series 5 blind bags identification codes list on this news post and that the Botbots have a new animated comedy series in the works.
Happy hunting!

Clearly, this is Dio’s fault.

Thanks, amigo. You'd swear these little guys owed me money, lol…
GiganGoji
Hey @Diamondback! I checked tonight and they seem to be fresh out. I'll keep an eye out and see if they restock.
Diamondback
So my two Grocery Outlets didn't get and aren't getting any… @GiganGoji if you see any more of the Recommended Buys would you be interested in a chance to make a few bucks? Of course, delivery arrangements would have to wait until the current clusterfudge is sorted out…

I haven't noticed BotBots in stores in so long that I thought the line ended.
bearytrek
the solid case has been available from online Toywiz.com, which is where most people who have them got them from…
nobody has actually seen them on a retail shelf in the States until now
MrLemming
Honestly not sure. They’ve been using them for years so I’d imagine so.
/still pissed that the Jojo chocolate bars they used to sell have moved to Costco only
Diamondback
Think they're paying licensing on the Sesame Street puppet style? LOL
MrLemming
Not sure I’ll jump at these as it’s bleeding cold outside and Christmas Eve, but interesting to know.

Anyone got pics of what they look like? I honestly can't remember the last time I bought BotBots.

Never heard it is it good?

Great, now I can't get their jingle out of my head.

Oh 5-packs too… !

Found the Series 5 5-packs randomly on the shelf just now at a Grocery Outlet.
One Cardio Clique and one of the Mexican food ones. Didnt see a price tag and didnt buy either, too many duplicates in each one for me or ones I had no interest in.

Took a second look, and found some at a Grocery Outlet near my place in Skyway.
Found some other TRANSFORMERS-related things, too.
Diamondback
Struck out in my part of the Seattle suburbs.

Thanks GiganGoji! Found them around Portland, OR tonight!

Since they were found at an outlet chain I assume that means regular retail likely won’t receive them…
Vector Oracle
They haven’t. This is the first US sighting ever. The other sightings were in the UK and Europe, IIRC.
