After yesterday's Hasbro 1027 broadcast (embedded below) Hasbro Pulse listed Studio Series 86 Bonecrusher and Scrapper for preorder at 1PM for Hasbro Pulse Premium members.  The preorders promptly sold out (but it is very likely they will put more in stock at some point).  Fortunately Ben's World of Transformers sponsor BigBadToyStore and affiliate site Entertainment Earth have also put their preorders up.  Check out the official product info from Hasbro Pulse and images below along with links to preorder your figures and support BWTF!

In a surprise move, Walmart.com has posted two surprise listings for Retro G1 Bumblebee and Gears.  You may wonder "What's so exciting about that?  They did those years ago!" but these are not G1 figure reissues.  Instead, Bumblebee is a redeco and retool of the Netflix Bumblebee figure from 2020 and Gears is a redeco and retool of the recent Legacy Gears figure!  Their colors appear based on their G1 animated counterparts and the packaging is classic
