Over at Sir Toys, they are selling Cyber Battalion Jetfire for $29.99 USD before shipping. They had Prowl too, but he is since sold out. While this store is known for its KO products, the store owner has claimed that these are legitimate. He has found them in Taiwan and is reselling them through his site.

I can get them here. (I took this pic).
I might still be able to get Starscream at another location. There's also KOs of the 1st wave so be careful, but I think the colours are different.
I've put the word in for more so hit the want-list system. Since they're real they're more expensive here for some reason so higher upfront cost means I can't stock too many. I just pick them up as people request and as they remain available.

That Cyber Commander Optimus Prime is the Wave 2 redeco, not the Wave 1 original. You can tell by the silver arms and grill, while the original has them red and blue respectively.

Prowl actually looks pretty cool, to be honest. The blue's an interesting choice of color. And I like how similar Jetfire is to the G1 toy.

Really? When you click on Jetfire's 24.99 price, it brings you to Prowl? Please let me know.

Prowl works for me, but Jetfire's link just takes me to a store page with no items. Looks like Jetfire is sold out.
I kinda want Prowl, but I really don't need him for $35.

What about Megatron and/or Starscream?

This pleases me. It might not take much effort to retool this into a Prowlastator torso.

Nah. One extra pin/pivot in the waist area to open up for a Devastator head needed, which could fit in the big empty cavity in the middle of him. Add some inner leg panels like Hook's and a couple more tabs and it'd be real close.Kurona wrote:It looks to me like it'd need so much retooling you'd end up just starting from scratch... but he looks good in group photos

Big Optimus looks nice in both deco's I can't pick between them really which I like more.

Thats because he isnt a new release, this distributor just got more of that older one since people wanted it.
Posted by RAR on April 14th, 2017 @ 3:39pm CDT
But that does beg the question if Sirtoys simply got more of the old one and it's not a repaint (like Optimus) is there going to be a Bee repaint too ? I'm sure there was some rumour of a Battalion Skywarp I read somewhere or other sometime... I think having all 3 Seekers in the same mould would be a an encouragement for more people to get them all.
I won't hold my breath but that Grimlock would look decent in G1 or RID colours too.

I don't think Commander Bumblebee is getting a redeco, as the new wave is half the size of the first, for both size classes it seems. Although... It's entirely possible that the first Battalion wave was supposed to be split in two, like so:
1299 Optimus Prime
1300 Bumblebee
1301 Megatron
1793 Grimlock
1794 Starscream
Instead they all got released at the same time.

There's no "Universal Studios Exclusive" sticker on the box, which all TF toys sold at Universal Studios have.kurthy wrote:How do we know it's not a return to Walgreens of an item bought at Universal Studios?

Because if that was the case, it would be in their system. Plus its a different price from universal studios, where its doulbe the price there, so the listing is wallgreens specific.

Cobotron wrote: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.
Except they do sell larger toys as well as the wingspan and cloudraker 2 pack wich is slightly smaller than a voyager box

And it's a WAY bigger toy.

william-james88 wrote:Fellow Seibertronian Rysquad has som pretty awesome news for us. 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.

It's not always size. Comes down to production and part count.

That sighting was for California. This one shows that they're beginning to show up outside that state too.Va'al wrote:Sabrblade wrote: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

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.

I'm just glad that Hasbro finally decided to give these figures a wider release. Beast Hunters deluxe Sinnertwin and Cutthroat and voyager 2 Predaking are some of my personal favorite toys to play around with. Battalion Starscream is also really cool too.

I don't know why I care, but this is the second or third headline to have it spelled incorrectly.

Ha, I never realized that. We dont have any walgreens in Canada so I don't deal with that place often. Thanks for letting me know, I wont make that mistake again

with reports found in Texas
You'd think they'd have bigger things to deal with than what toys a drug store is carrying, prayers to those affected by the fkoods.
