It's the KIDS line. The line that needs to be in shops not only from adult collector websites!

I haven't seen Warriors in Sainsburgeries for over 6 months. Still selling one-steps and Scouts. I just picked up two just-out one-steps the other day in Toys Galore, who don't import or use grey stock. Argos, Smyths, Asda and The Entertainer still stock Cyberverse and the big £30 energon armour figures just came out at Chrimbo line. It doesn't feel like an ex-line. I've found it to have significantly better distribution (so far) than Siege. It's also the time of year when Sainsburgeries tens to clearance loads of toys to make way for new stock: shelfs full of clearanced Lego for a few weeks now. -Ralph

It's the run up to Easter isn't it. Get rid of the old stock to make way for all that amazing new stuff coming in. Which we always get in abundance. So much of it!
There may be sarcasm in this post.

Not much in the way of clearancing in the Sainsbury'ses up here - I was in one last night that had the treat of full-price scouts and one-step changers. But yes, it is common to have a post Christmas sale, so I'm not sure that that proves that this is an ex-line. And Smyths are also stocking the Lugnut and Hot Rod Ultras range at the moment, so unless they're the very last we'll be getting I wouldn't have said it was completely dead. Not yet, anyway.
Although it still won't surprise me if the deluxes don't show up. Even so, I'm not payting ID's prices for them...

Annoyingly, the one I must have (Shockwave) is the only one of the four not available on Amazon!

Smyths here in Germany have the Cyberverse deluxes on shelves as of this week, so I think there’s hope for a UK release!
They look quite good, but overpriced. €28.99 which is €6 over the cost of a Siege deluxe.

Cyberverse 1-step Bludgeon and Whirl are fab. Bludgeon can move his sword hand!
Whirl actually takes five steps to transform and has some arm articulation and his claws move. It looks much better and is loads more fun to play with than Generations Whirl. The blues on it are really nice. Just a much better Whirl!

Dammit. I was hoping that line was going to be the cheaper option. Still, they do look more fun than the Siege deluxes, so I guess you can't put a price on fun. (Apart from €6. Clearly.)

Okay so I bought Deluxe Optimus last wednesday, and forgot about him until I got home yesterday.
Good lord I LOVE THIS TOY!
Let me get the negatives out of the way right now: · He's well over priced for what you get. They could have easily put another Maccadam piece for the price, instead of spreading him out across EIGHT figures. · As a deluxe, he's the same height as Siege Sideswipe. · His plastic materials feel considerably cheaper. · I was mistaken about them having an action gimmick (i thought Op's windows had a spring gimmick)c
Now for the good: · HE'S FUN! · He's got great articulation · Though he feels cheap, he does not suffer the QC issues that have plagued the mainline warriors since nuRiD began. He's sturdy, and everything works as it should. · His transformation is reasonably simple, and extremely clever. He is really fun to transform. · Unlike "better" Generations Optimi, he has almost zero kibble in robot mode.
As a Phil Bonus: his blast effect is on a 5mm post, so can be used in three ways on him (chest, gun, back of the truck), as well as used on any Siege gun with a 5mm port on the end. And in an undocumented feature, it's also in two parts. The mushroom bulb part can seperate from the stalk.
He's expensive, but I'm really happy with mine.

Forbidden Planet in Glasgow yesterday had Earthrise Optimus Prime for the bargain price of £59.99, but more importantly they had a whole load of Cyberverse Rack'n'Ruins! They weren't so over-priced, being the standard £19.99 for that class size, but I still had to pass because that's still too much for me... Llama God Picture please. Not sure it's been seen anywhere else worldwide

On shelf, front, back, whatever you can get Thus far this is the best we have

Wow - I didn't realise the spark armour helmets are pretty much their original comic faces!

Some of those look great. This line is so inventive. I must watch the second season to see what the narrative is behind it all, it seems to be moving on a lot from the first one.
