For a few weeks now Studio Series 86 figures have been appearing on Target toy stores in the U.S.  These sightings have been for the Deluxe and Voyager Class figures, but now the Leader Class has hit shelves!  Fellow fan Sohrob Ibrahimi has reported finding Leader Class Grimlock with Wheelie at Target in VA!   You can see the item below and check Brickseek to see if it is in your area now!  Image credit goes to Sohrob Ibrahimi.

Takara Tomy Mall has posted a listing for Studio Series B-127 including new photos!  This figure represents Bumblebee as he appeared on Cybertron in the Bumblebee live action film.  This figure is a retool and redeco of the Cliffjumper sculpt from the same film.  The Takara Tomy listing shows a price of ¥ 3,080 (about $29.66 USD) with a release date of June 2021.  In contrast, the price in the U.S.

Some Autobots may want to play fair on and off the battlefield, but Smokescreen prefers using methods like deception and charm to achieve his objectives!  Check out my review and gallery of "Earthrise" Smokescreen!
