Re-releases of Cybertron Scouts in 25th Anniversary Universe Packaging found at Walmart.

Seibertron member Matt, from mattbooker.info, has discovered an interesting find at Walmart: Cybertron Scouts Backstop, Brushguard and Brakedown. These figures are in 25th Anniversary Universe packaging. In the past these have shown up at stores like Big Lots, KB Toys and Family Dollar. Are these Black Friday exclusives for Walmart? The figures weren't priced and when scanning under a price checker it said, "Please see associate for details." Not much more is known about these figures. It may be something similar to Toy R Us getting the Warriors from Three Worlds set that was originally released in Walgreens. Thanks Matt for sending us the info!

Well that's weird. Too bad they haven't reissued Brakedown GTS. I wonder why they didn't release more 25th Anniversary toys last year...you know, when it was the actual anniversary. :P

These were released at Toys Toys Toys here in Canada a loooooong time ago. Maybe other places too, I didn't keep track of them since I wasn't interested. I hadn't realized they weren't released elsewhere.

Really? That's a bit strange and overpriced. I just came from my Walmart about three days ago and bought Generations Dirge and Blurr for $9 each; must've been a special on all Deluxe class figures. Who knows though, it could be different for each Walmart.

I don't why they keep re-releasing these guys. If they at least redecoed them I'd buy them. Why not make Backstop into Headstrong or Hamhorn? Repaint Brushguard as Gears, and Brakedown as some obscure Micromaster or something? Collectors would be all over them.

$9 is the roll back price for deluxes at wal-mart. The normal price for a deluxe is $12. Scouts just seem overpriced since they are not on roll back like the deluxe. If you ask me deluxes should normally be $9, scouts should be $6, and legends should be no more than $3.

Wow, I was hoping these scouts in particular (brakedown, brushguard and that rhino) would never see retail again.

Cybertron had some wonderful scouts, and some wonderfully bad ones too.

Ah, now I understand. Thanks for the information :D

I honestly thought it was like a special sale. But I agree, deluxes should be priced at $9 in general. I remember back in the day when that was the case and scouts (or basics) were $4. This was during the Beast Wars run. ;) Wish it was like this today.

Usually, when something tells you to see an associate, it's probably not on file. It happens sometimes.

Someone probably put them out before they're supposed to be out on the salesfloor. As long as it's not blocked at POS, you should be OK.

Huh. This is rather strange, but cool. Hey what are those ROTFs right above them on the shelf? I don't think I've seen those before. Are they legends or scout two-packs?

Judging by the general shape:

Top shelf: wave 1 HftD Deluxes
Middle shelf: RotF 2-packs (Beachcomber vs. Deadlift)

I'd seen these today at walmart and was not impressed. Dollar General still sells these. The new packaging doesn't make me want these lackluster toys anymore than I didn't want them before. I did see the new Fallen, I may go back fir that.

They probably produced way too much stock back in the Cybertron days and they're still trying to get rid of them.

I work at a walmart so i am pretty sure this is something for black friday that wasnt supposed to go on the shelf. anytime you scan an item and it sez see sales associate it means its not in the stores system yet ( not to be sold till a certain date).

I had no idea these figures even existed as Transformers Universe "2008" releases until I saw one hanging on the pegs with the regular Transformers stuff at Walmart. With a little help from a sales associate, I found the rest of them in a little corner of what must be a discount toy isle. Grabbed one of each, since I hadn't gotten them previously (I'm trying to get everything that's come out in the "2008" Transformers Universe line to celebrate the franchise). The figures rang up at the register at the very easy to handle price of ONE DOLLAR EACH. I might go back and buy a few more to donate to "Toys for Tots" or something.
