Transformers: Rise of the Beasts is right around the corner now, dropping on June 9th (and a bit before if you are lucky). Accordingly, marketing hype is in full swing, as is the merch! Wave 1 of movie product across multiple categories is now on shelves and in-stock online. Hasbro sent through a promotional box showing of a selection of recently released toys. These boxes aren’t just for dedicated fan sites like TFW2005, but rather for all press and media with the hopes they’ll spread the word on all the cool stuff to the casual fans who don’t breathe this stuff in like air every day. So don’t expect anything hot off the presses inside. That being said, the boxes themselves are super cool and potentially a collectors item if that’s your thing, so I always like to document those. You can see boxes for the last 6 movies AND this one for Rise of the Beasts inside. Oh yeah, we also shot some of the toys too. 🙂 Thanks again to Hasbro for sending these through, hit your favorite spots to snag these if you haven’t already!
*Of note – Cheetor was not present in the promo mailer, I just used this as an excuse to actually open him and shoot some shots since the others were here. In addition, not all product was shot, and nothing is comprehensive. Just a play around session here. Pics below!
Even more pics below!

Very cool. Now tell Hasbro to bring back purchase promos, so the rest of us can get some freebies from all these buys!
With the higher prices, it\'s not like they\'re hurting for money! COME ON! Buy 3 deluxes, get a random deluxe by mail?

Yeah these are promotional mailers, sent to press and similar folks. Not available for retail purchase. They do one or two a year for Transformers, and the also for other brands.

i'm fairly sure companies usually send these out to youtubers as a promotional thing.
unfortunately the general public usually don't get to purchase them
BILLY THE CAT

Going off of some folks on YouTube, it seems Hasbro sent this to certain people. Can an average person get it though, I'm not sure.
Bombshock

May have seen this, came in over the weekend, but needed some time to dig in, even in the limited fashion. Wanted to share for those following the Movie Promo Mailer adventures since 2007. Add another one to the ranks.
