Gee why can’t Walmart shelves at least have this stock here in the states

Because they aren't a specialized toy store. So they will liquidate or remove or simply not stock items rather than let them accumulate like Toysrus does.

We've actually noticed that when TRU Canada was sold to a we believe Investment Trust the prices went through the roof and nothing was moving. They have since fallen and the sales from before the sale to that Trust have returned. Thank goodness as if they didn't TRU Canada would have also gone under.

Yeah TRU has switched hands a few times, glad prices have finally come down and sales are back.
Unrelated note: just got warrior Thrash and I LOVE the transformation. Very well done figure, reminds me of Animated Prowl. Great deco too, probably the best face sculpt this year. And the sidecar has 4 modes for maximum playability
Easily my favourite Earthspark figure so far.

The Earthspark show and toyline continue on in 2024 and we now have a good look at many of the new toys coming out, aimed at the kids who watch the show. We see warriors Twitch and Bumblebee which have these black hooks, leading us to believe they may have a combining gimmick. Below you will also see images of one step Skullcruncher + Elita-1 and Tacticon Twitch. These were found on Entertainment Earth.

Combining gimmick? The first Twitch looks like her drone mode has an ass-grabbing gimmick!
Oh, I get it, she's one o' them predator drones. Maybe the U.N. should ban them.
I'd be more interested in the 1-step having a combining gimmick, since that drone appears to be a Titan-Master for Shockwave or Whirl.
So many Skullcrunchers since TR, and yet none of them are really the upgraded one I've wanted since my 8th birthday...

These new figures look good, hopefully they'll be easier to find online.

Interesting that those are still being considered Warrior class despite having an obvious new gimmick worked into them. Twitch also has extra articulation in her feet that aren't used in alt mode and Bumblebee has an unusually large upside down symbol on the car mode roof leaving me to believe it'll form a chest.
BTW, these seem to use the same connectors as the upcoming Cyber Combiners we saw back in September (and also featured Twitch and Bumblebee), but don't appear to be compatible.
Might get these, and will probably get Skullcruncher simply because it's Skullcruncher.

That Twitch picture on the package looks....evil. And the vehicle mode looks way to similar to a mosquito for this Wisconsinite's liking. Causing flashbacks...

No lie. Looks like I'll be saving a lot of money next year. Or burning more of it on 3rd party stuff.

Do you tend to buy a lot from the little kiddie lines? Because if you don't then your not saving any money, the product is not targeted at you. It's like commenting on Matel's latest Barbie line and saying "I don't collect this, so I'm saving lots of money". Doesn't make much sense.

If it looked good, I'd buy it regardless of what line it's in. I had briefly considered Twitch or Thrash since they were new characters, but I just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on it once the Earthspark line started showing up at Walmart and I got good look at them in-hand. Unfortunately, nothing I've seen announced in a while in ANY line has really screamed "BUY ME!"
My purchases tapered off dramatically this year, with the Trainbots being my only significant HasTak buys. I have broken down and picked up the dinky Dinos, but only with the expectation of getting the upgrade kit. Everything else has been 3rd party.
