    If they had more articulation in the combined mode they would be a lot more interesting. And it’s not like they couldn’t have done so, they just wanted them done cheaply.

    Sorry but I got to laugh at this (no offence to those whose actually like it)!

    I mean I saw the non Buzzworthy packaging version in a retail store here in the UK weeks ago.

    Is the repackaging suppose to entice new people to buy it?

    Basically yes. It’s along the lines of “Shit! Nobody bought any of these things and the warehouse is crammed full of them!!”

    Or, there's a demand for this because some people missed out on Swoop, hoping there would be a better version.

    That’s not how this works, at all. Hasbro would never ship warehouse items back overseas, pay someone to open them, print new packaging, plop the old toys in, and pay to have them shipped back to the US.

    That would be much more expensive than just taking a liquidation loss on the items.

    This is new? I saw it yesterday at Target. I thought they were clearing out Cyberverse to make room for Earthspark. Man...not following the kids line is interesting. I've seen RiD15 come and go. Cyberverse come and go, and now Earthspark toys starting to show up. I couldn't care less about any of them.

    I swear I saw these at Marshalls in early December. Unless this is the same release in different packaging.

    I saw this weeks ago at a target in Sacramento and didn’t realize I could’ve gotten another News credit. Bummer
