I'm pretty sure that's the price the Cyber Battalion guys were originally supposed to sell for too. Finally, they're good value!

You know what's kind of hilarious? That price point is cheaper than the $19.99 to $17.99 the TR Deluxes usually go for at Walgreens. 8-}

And it's a WAY bigger toy.

Remember those Cyber Battalion figures, like the new Jetfire and Prowl that we were not going to get at retail in the US? Well, they have just been spotted at Walgreens. And at a great price no less, the voyager sized Jetfire was obtained for $16.99 USD. A fan reported to Ben Yee from BWTF.com that he had found it in Rancho Cordova, California. As a refresher, images of these toys can be found below the sighting evidence. Happy hunting!

I find it awesome that Walgreens is now part of my rotation when looking for toys now.

It's not always size. Comes down to production and part count.

Even if he may not have knee articulation, Jetfire is on my radar!

I hope these two aren't the only ones that make it to standard retail. The Megatron and Grimlock ones, in particular, would be nice.

Saw on Facebook somebody got Battalion Prime in California too.

We had Prowl already covered in the Jetfire sighting!

Checked the only local Walgreens Friday and they had nothing (aside from two TR Triggerhappys and a ton of Kre-o blind bags). Hopefully I don't have to check the place too many times as this particular store is in a terrible location that's super hard to drive to being on a one way road off of a bridge requiring me to either come in from the other end of the city or make a huge circle around the store to get into it. It's so annoying! I really just want Prowl and either one of the big Prime's.

That sighting was for California. This one shows that they're beginning to show up outside that state too.

Just in case fans thought it was a fluke, we have growing reports of these simplified budget line Cyber Battalion figures. Like with every other toyline in the US, reports start in California and are slowly expanding from there, with reports found in Texas, Arizona and more. What is super fun though is that Jetfire and Prowl are not the only characters being found at the $16.99 price point. Fans have also found Optimus Prime and Bumblebee. Hot Rod, a fan on our Facebook page even posted an image of Walgreen's databse which shows 6 different figures, so hopefully that means either Starscream, Megatron or Grimlock will be coming too. Another facebook page fan, Nel, posted an image of his Jetfire purchase comparing him to some previous Jetfires.

Let us know in both your respective state sightings thread and in the sightings section if you find any in your area.

I'm still waiting to find Cloudraker and Wingspan at Walgreens. Has anyone else had any luck?

Not yet. I live close to one now and have a Fastclash I need to get rid of, so I was going to ask the same thing.

Sat Sep 02, 2017 7:15 pm

I hope they're Megatron and Grimlock. Sideswipe and Shockwave can be in the next wave with Starscream since he and Jetfire share a base mold. Well, that and I already have him from Universal Studios.

I'm just glad that Hasbro finally decided to give these figures a wider release. Beast Hunters deluxe Sinnertwin and Cutthroat and voyager 2 Predaking are some of my personal favorite toys to play around with. Battalion Starscream is also really cool too.

You guys keep spelling Walgreens wrong. There's only one L.

I don't know why I care, but this is the second or third headline to have it spelled incorrectly.

with reports found in Texas

You'd think they'd have bigger things to deal with than what toys a drug store is carrying, prayers to those affected by the fkoods.

Can somebody explain to me why everybody is hyped up about the new TF line (example the new Jetfire here in the middle) Look closely at his lower arm. Its empty and open. That looks so cheap!

Hasbro lost their way... volume over quality...

It's a huge state, so I'm sure some areas didn't get hit as bad as others. But some areas have a long road ahead of them to recovery.

This isn't the upcoming Cyberverse line, or whatever they're gonna call it now.

These are from the "Generations Cyber Series", a budget line with upscaled versions of older designs. It consists of the Cyber Battalion and the larger Cyber Commander classes, and until now, impossible to find in the US, being limited to Asia and oddly enough, Brazil.
