Shout out to 2005 Boards member Analogue for sharing the first US retail sighting of the Transformers BotBots Goldrush Games Series 4 Claw/Gumball Machine Surprise Boxes!

Found at Target located at 6480 SkyPointe Drive, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89131, with a retail price of $19.99 + tax.

This marks our second sighting, with our first reported from Taiwan in the last days of December 2019.

As a refresher, there are two Claw Machine and two Gumball Machine boxes, and each pack holds ten surprise balls containing five regular BotBots, four stickers, and one rare Gold BotBot.

Enjoy the hunt, and let us know if you come across any of these during your own searches.

Thanks to TFW2005 member Oniconvoy, we are able to share some exciting news for our Canadian friends – the first sighting of WFC-GS09 Hot Shot at retail!

Hot Shot was found at EB Games, Dundas ON, alongside Powerdasher Cromar who was also spotted at TRU last month.

Oniconvoy has provided us with some excellent in-hand shots of the figure, pairing him nicely with Powerdasher Aragon for additional firepower.

Hot Shot is the second Transformers: Cybertron-inspired figure to join the line after Galaxy Upgrade Optimus Prime and should fit neatly into place alongside him, in your collections.

TFW2005 member stprime has been informed by site sponsor BigBadToyStore, that they will no longer be offering the Generations Selects Seacons. All listings have been removed from the site.

According to the information provided, Hasbro has opted to make the figures Pulse exclusives for an as yet indeterminate period of time.

At the time of this news post we are not aware of the same activity taking place with other retailers, and listings for the Seacons remain active with a number of them, but whether this will continue to be the case remains to be seen.

We will do our best to update you as more details come to hand.  For now, go ahead and join the discussion on the boards!
