Transformers Generations Battalion Jetfire Found at Wallgreens in the US

There's no "Universal Studios Exclusive" sticker on the box, which all TF toys sold at Universal Studios have.

This is cool news! It's interesting though because it's a rather large toy for Walgreens to stock. They usually don't stock anything larger than Deluxe in Transformers.

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

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 Wallgreens. 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.

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

Saw on Facebook somebody got Battalion Prime in California too.

Prowl's been found at a Walgreens in Phoenix, Aricona - https://www.allspark.com/forums/topic/138063-new-cyber-battalion-figures-prowl-jetfire/page-4#entry3590091

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.

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.

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.
