The last class of wave 3 Cyberverse figures have been found in Illinois in a Meijer Mr. Starscream on Instagram: “Found some new #cyberverse scouts! Ratchet and Shadowstriker”
I bought my first one of these (the Optimus) yesterday, and it was the first time I've ever felt like I was actually ripped off buying a Hasbro toy. I've never before seen a figure so thoroughly compromised by its gimmick. I mean, it only partially transforms! Its altmode is him in mid-transformation with his head and arm fully exposed. I actually kind of like the flip-out gun but you can't even deploy it in his 'full' robot mode! PLEASE don't do this EVER AGAIN, Hasbro. If I buy Legends-class figures I expect them to actually transform.
My Walmart has completely removed Cyberverse from the shelves. I\'m wondering if this line is dead. Then again, they\'re down to 3 columns of pegs for Transformers. 1 for Botbots, 1 for Siege and 1 Studio Series.
I’m really worried for Cyberverse, man. None of my local shops seem to be stocking them anymore. Look, I don’t exactly buy every figure that comes out (I only have the main Decepticons and Windblade, and those were all on sale), but I still really like the show, and no toy line means no show in this franchise. I hope it’s nothing, but that Optimus that comes with the trailer is at my Walmart for $5, and they still have 40 of him, I counted.
You can’t just put out pure crap and hope it sells. I thought RiD’15 was badly compromised, but it’s got nothing on Cyberverse. They just look terrible on shelf. (And it’s hard to tell them apart from the Bumblebee movie line)
i really like the robot modes of these scout class toys . Sure its disappointing that they dont transform properly but as bots they look pretty good . I will probably buy Shadow Striker if i see her .
I only ever see these figures come in and quickly (mostly) sell through. Sure there are always peg warmers (Optimus appears to be the warmer in my area), but overall at least in AZ these sell pretty brusquely. I guess the point being... this is not considered Scout class.
I'll probably pick up Shadow Striker if I see her pop up at my local Kroger or Kmart. Already bought Windblade and Slipstream and scouts have decent robot modes, so I may as well finish the trio off.
