Since the Bumblebee movie is on the horizon, you can guess that there would be a lot of merchandise and exclusives. For Bumblebee, we have the Greatest Hits, a subline exclusive to Target stores. There are only two known exclusives, Soundwave with Doombox and the Bumblebee Cassette Pack (Howlback, Frenzy, Buzzsaw, Bumblebee). Well there are finally stock photos of these guys!
Soundwave comes from a listing from sponsor Robot Kingdom and Japanese website Red Mercury. The Bumblebee Cassette Pack also comes from Red Mercury. The Robot Kingdom listing gives us a date of September 28th so we should not expect to see these items before then at Target.
Soundwave:

Red Mercury: http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711275#
Bumblebee Cassette Pack:
http://www.redmercury.co.jp/?pid=134711124
While these stock photo's are a bit blurry, they show us off their box and the figure, but Soundwave's base mode cannot be seen from these photos. It also for some reason shows the base connectors separate from the actual figure, despite them being permanently attached.
So what do you think? Let us know in the Pub forums below!

I'm looking forward to these sets. I missed the Titans Return Leader Soundwave, and I've been holding off on getting Rumble to see if they were going to make Frenzy. Now I just gotta hope these guys are gonna be decently priced because... I really don't need a one-step changer, but I'm willing to pay like $30 for three legends class figures. I do sorta wish they had done a separate set for the cassettes themselves, and not included a one-step changer and also maybe did a retool to turn the Laserbeak/Buzzsaw mold into a Ratbat maybe, but I'm fine with it as is

Those connectors come off very easily and go back on, not permanent by a long shot.
I can't wait for Rumble to get his buddy to hang out with.

Yess, Rumble!
I've been waiting for him to be made, but they didn't in Titans Return. But now I finally get my Rumble!
The classics was okay but had a lot of kibble. This Titans Return mold is perfect and very simple.

Didn't see that coming! I'll try to get this set mainly for Frenzy Rumble the blue one, but because I missed out on Combiner Wars Buzzsaw I'll happily add him and Howlback to my Decepticon shelf as well. My nephew will probably enjoy the one-step Bumblebee, so he can have that.

I'm excited for Soundwave. I passed originally but IDW has convinced me I need a Soundwave and not just a FOC Soundblaster.

I'd repurpose the CW version since the gold on this one is more accurate to the original toy than the yellow.
But I don't have the original so this is going to be my Buzzsaw.
I also don't have Rumble yet thanks to only seeing him once in stores and Takara Tomy never releasing him. I need to grab an over priced one online before the price gets too out of hand.

I think Will was aiming more for what head is used: Stripes's (actually Steeljaw's) or Ravage's. I'm pleased to say, the latter is used:

Anyone else spot the Hasbro photography mis-transformation this time? Poor Howlback has an airplane nose for a tail instead of her actual tail. Although this makes her more aerodynamic in reverse, so there is that.

I just checked, and it looks like that Optimus figure is available to be shipped to the US now. Shipping is hefty though, and for me, it comes out to 8,376 Yen total, or about $80. Not sure I want to drop that much.

I was kind of hoping that the Soundwave would take more from the LG36 rather than a new deco, but it's fine. All i'm really interested in, is the 3 Tablet's that come with that BB figure (which I'll promptly be selling separately)

Just to be sure, you're aware he's been heavily retooled to be more of a boombox, not just repainted, right?

Oh yes, I'm well aware, but I prefer the look of the LG36 with the classic looking chest/opening deck and the red eyes in robot mode. Even though I consider the TR the *least* of all these 3, this change for BB is neat, but not enough for me to justify purchasing it again, or replacing the one I have, unless it comes at a lower price point, which I doubt.

Any educated guesses on what shipping on Legendary OP would be from HLJ? $50 isn't bad for the figure, but afraid to get killed on shipping.
Amazon JP has the figure for about $55 but is charging $25 for shipping. $80 is a bit much....

I am guessing it will be the same if not more. HLJ is not cheap for shipping. All Japanese places have upped their shipping recently. But at least with Amazon, the price can still decrease. I anticipate a drop to 30% of the initial price. I am doing the preorder while waiting for the drop since as long as you have it on order, you get the cheapest price it was ever at. And if I find a better deal before it comes out, I can simply cancel the preorder no questions asked.

There's a way to not have to pay for shipping.
Just fly to Japan and bring an empty luggage!
But then, customs will STILL shaft you upon your return even after you have paid the local Japanese sale taxes.
THERE IS NO ESCAPE!
Seriously, if one really want an imported thing, shipping should never be an issue.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronian and Transformers fan Mike van der Markt, we have new sightings of some upcoming Bumblebee Movie toys, which were found at an Intertoys store in Waalwijk, the Netherlands. The products shown in the pictures from the Bumblebee Movie are Energon Igniters Nitro Series Optimus Prime, Power Plus Series Optimus Prime, Power Series Dropkick, Music FX DJ Bumblebee, and the Bumblebee Stinger Blaster.
In addition to the Bumblebee Movie toys, the recently released Transformers Cyberverse toy products were also available. These included Cyberverse Warrior Class Optimus Prime and Ultimate Class Megatron.
Have you found some new Transformers toys recently? Make sure to let all of us know in our Sightings forum and Sightings section!

Hasbro really knows how to reuse products. Not only were the Robots in Disguise Bumblebe and Optimus masks reused for movie-verse masks within the Transformers: The Last Knight toyline but now they are being rereleased under the Bumblebee movie toyline. These are the same masks as before. We have images of these releases below, which were found on the Ottosimon website.
In other Transformers: Bumblebee movie news, Target has released their list of the top holiday toys, called Bullseye's Top Toys. The toy cannot be ordered yet but this means we can expect these toys soon and them to be heavily promoted at Target.
Here are the reissued masks:
Here was the previous release
Which was a redeco of this initial product

The mask re-use is mind-boggling levels of laziness/cheapness. They could have at least done some kind of sticker with live-action style details.

The Optimus mask get a free pass. It's close enough. But Bee? Come on, how the hell was this approved?

I expect Target to be the first one to get Bee movie stuff and promote it the most. Walmart has been lackluster, and Target has taken the TRU torch up in the US at least

So I did the preorder through Amazon as well. If the price drops, do they notify you? It's hard to keep track cuz the price they advertise isn't the price they ultimately charged me...I'm guessing they had to back out the Japanese tax?

Amazon JP has the figure for about $55 but is charging $25 for shipping. $80 is a bit much....
I am guessing it will be the same if not more. HLJ is not cheap for shipping. All Japanese places have upped their shipping recently. But at least with Amazon, the price can still decrease. I anticipate a drop to 30% of the initial price. I am doing the preorder while waiting for the drop since as long as you have it on order, you get the cheapest price it was ever at. And if I find a better deal before it comes out, I can simply cancel the preorder no questions asked.

Fellow Seibertronian Blacklai got his hands on a lot of toys from the new Bumblebee movie toyline. There is a pictorial review full of images on their website for the Transformers: Bumblebee Energon Igniters Nitro Series and we have mirrored several of them below. These are the deluxe sized figures that come with the igniter/allspark engine. There are videos below which show how it works and it seems to work perfectly with the alt modes starting to roll smoothly as soon as the engine is pressed (no need to wind up). We get our best look yet at the toys' sculpting and their articulation. The head sculpts are rather impressive (especially Barricade's) but the articulation is very limited. There are no knees and not all have elbows. The robot modes do look good head on though and they all have a very sleek look to them with very little extraneous kibble. These toys are already hitting retail globally so they could hit US retail any day now. If you see these at retail, will you get them?

That Barricade looks pretty good, almost like a decent Deluxe placeholder.

Nitro Barricade looks really slick!
I might just end up getting a bit more of the simpler guys than I planned, they are looking pretty dang awesome
