(RUMOR) The Return OF Universe Packaged Transformers To Discount Stores?

According to sources at the ALLSPARK, Universe packaged toys will be returning to dollar stores, and discount stores in the near future featuring CYBERTRON toys and possibly CLASSICs figures as well?

This was previously done with deluxe and scout sized figures from the Energon line a while back.

The assortment number is supposed to be the same as it previously was, 81132, and include some of our old favorite scout size figures including Brushguard, Lugnutz, Undermine, Brakedown, Scattorshot, and Backstop. This is very good news for those new to the fandom who missed these figures the first time around.

The CLASSICs part comes in with the listing of a two-pack which seems to be described as the same two-pack that we had with deluxe Optimus Prime and deluxe Megatron, and can be found in assortment number 83569.

Is this rumor true? Check your discount stores to check to see for sure, and stay tuned to the Seibertron.con Toy News and your Regional Sitings Thread to see when and if these are hitting any stores near you!

Also for those looking for a clue to "He is coming..." this thread icon holds a vague bit of information..."He is coming..."

$2 for a Universe Spychanger at Family Dollar. I like them, especially the clear ones (like Mirage). Oh, and $3 for a KO Victory Saber 2-pack, quite close. I also bought a $5 Universe Energon Saber (3 mini cons in a box) from Dollar General before and find it is pretty cool to let Classic Megatron hold it.

It'd be nice to see more of these.

The ENERGON toys have been in the Universe packaging for awhile.

CLASSICS, and CYBERTRON would be quite new to Universe packaging.

I didn't caps lock ENERGON because I hate it....

(No simply because I made a mistake, sorry...)

Anyone know if they'll be releasing the rest of the Energon basics at Dollar General, Family Dollar, etc.? I'm still missing some members of the Energon gestalts.
