    I actually grabbed all three. The Slipstream and Windblade look really good for that size class.

    I paid 9.99 each. Kroger can be a bit more expensive on things and I don’t remember what other places charge for this size class.

    Windblade and Slipstream are both on my 'to get list' glad to hear they're starting to show up now.

    Considering wave 2 is already showing up. Seems like it.

    $7.99 MSRP

    My Walmart toy manager told me they dont even have Cyberverse Warriors in the system. Is that just Region wide? OR Country wide? She claimed its all connected but i have a hard time believing that.

    Btw anyone know when USA McDonald's Transformers Cyberverse R coming out? Soon i think

    Wow....No bendable elbow joints? They ruin all hope for this line when it comes to collectors who invest in quality!

    This line isn’t meant for collectors. It’s meant for younger kids. Stop unnecessarily complaining when this line isn’t meant for you. Because for kids it’s doing it’s job fine.

    I understand these are for for kids, but the quality is still bad. They are like oversized McDonald’s toys.

    Bad to who? Remember bad is a subjective quality. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure. So if you understand that these are for kids why do you say they’re bad in spite of that?

    Just my opinion. I am entitled to that. I think they are bad. They are good for kids, not collectors. But from the friends of mine that have kids, say they don’t like them. But what can you do.

    Scout Slipstream and Windblade look like they might be worth getting, if they aren\'t too expensive.
    Same for the two Shockwaves.

    Dismayed as a Slipstream fan. Even the paint is terrible.
    They'd be impressive as Happymeal toys.

    I keep seeing the "they're meant for kids" drum being banged on, and yeah, I get that. I'm not criticizing these on my basis as an adult collector. I'm criticizing them on the basis of seeing almost 40yrs of Transformers figures meant for kids, and comparing these to past offerings at a similar price-point is all you have to do to wonder what Hasbro's thinking is here.

    That is my unspoken argument right there. Cheers, mate.
