We have news that Transformers Retro Beast Wars Cybershark has been found in the US. No Wolfang was found yet since these ship in solid cases. TF fan Red Snarl found this toy at Walmart (the exclusive retailer in the US) in Fishkill, New York. What an appropriate city for a first sighting.

However I do not have a Terrorsaur, so I may pick him up now!

One thing I like about these is there's differences enough for the originals to not lose one cent of value.

Exclusives get exceptions. Hasbro only made the commitment for mainline toys.

So far the reissues have done me a lot of good, it's really helped me pad out my early Beast Wars collection having needed Rattrap, Tigatron, Cybershark, Wolffang, Terrorsaur, Iguanus, and Tarantulas. I still need to pick up a cartoon colors Scorponok, but I have an original so it isn't quite as important, waiting on a clearance.

Thank God I already have mine.
This is a bad Transformers, but in a cool and silly way.

Not a reissue of the original gimmick-ruined figure.

It's features included "Be a Ball" and "Give hugs." Always wondered why silly bug hug man wasn't in the show when I was little.
I also remember it being a really flimsy toy that didn't quite lock in place correctly.

Funny you should say it like that, as someone elsewhere recently found a 1985 McDonalds Happy Meal G1 Gears in an antique store.Flashwave wrote:So at this point are they just finding molds in antique stores and going “Hey look what I found! Let’s make this one!”

That's quite the find, that promotion only happened in a few states.

Same. And I just scored a Powerhug in box for under $15 on Mandarake so I'm completely set. Although... I might just get this one just to say I have all versions.
I was 17 when Retrax came out and I've always loved that figure. The unique head sculpt, the clear shell, the paint, the roll up feature that's pure genius, it's just a fun toy even if it isn't a particularly great action figure.

Transquito was, though.

Transquito is amazing but the rotating joint of the bug legs at the arms aged badly. First one shattered and and I repaired it. Now it's the second one who just broke on me.
Unless these bugs legs are not meant to rotate at the arm and I messed up?

I've already got one, but good to see others will get to enjoy him too now! If goofy bad toys are their thing I mean. I love him, but he IS crap.

I have mine too and it's one of those toys that I can't bury in storage.
It's one of those bad toys that their badness actually make them good. Like Armada Sideswipe and his mold brothers.

And Scavenger, Inferno, and B'boom, at least in my area. I don't recall any Deluxes shelf warming, not even Injector.

But the reissue may have issues....

Mine too. The sping is still quite strong, but not enough to hurt.

How do you know if the new one has no issues?

My old original Retrax is still in shape after all these years.
My Primal and Megs reissues shoot their missiles just fine. As for reissue Scorponok, he shoot his things like a champ.
Where did you heard those claims?
Was it from this?

Just get the vintage one. It will be MUCH cheaper than the reissue I can assure you.
And if you feel fancy, the Takara Beast Wars Neo (I think) who is blue and silver for probably the same price the reissue of Retrax may cost.

That might have to do, but there is just a satisfaction of picking up a figure at a store and getting it out of the box, instead of Ebaying it and waiting weeks to get it.

Buy it in box then.
Plus that Retrax reissue is just a rumor for now. If you want the thing and can find it at a good price on eBay (or elsewhere), just go for it.
Un tiens vaut mieux que deux tu l'auras. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't know where you're located, but if the shipping is reasonable for you, that set is very interesting:

Well, at least you 'Murricans are allowed to use EMS. It's still expensive shipping, but could be way worse like Canada and our obligatory no-deals DHL.
Regardless, not only Retrax is confirmed, but it will be normal deluxe priced (at least in Canada.).
So, keep hunting!
