Thanks to 2005 Boards member Fc203 for giving us the heads up that the new Transformers Cyberverse Tiny Turbo Changers Series 4 has been found at US retail.
These little figures sure took their time to surface at US stores and sometimes they are hard to track, but they finally were spotted at Target stores some weeks ago.
The Tiny Turbo changers figures are packed in blind bags, but there’s a code embossed on the bottoms of the bag near the Hasbro logo. The code starts with a letter of the alphabet and it’s this letter that tells you who is inside. You can find an identification code list here.
Happy hunting!

Yup, went back to Fred Meyers (predominantly to grab a couple chickens and some salad ingredients) and looked at their selection of these again to verify, they’re series 4 so I grabbed a Stealth Bumblebee and a Thunderhowl.

They\'re still doing Tiny turbo Changers?
Gneric Robot Dinosaur
Yeah, these were out for a while where I am (AZ at Target). I thought it was old news so I never mentioned it lol

Right below your post
As some users have mentioned, sometimes it's hard to keep track in some items that may go buried during a day of hot news. Good thing anyway is that this sighting gets more attention and maybe we could confirm the elusive Series 3 in the US.
Kantus Prime
Yeah these have been in Oregon Fred Meyers for several months
Jacob Knight
Old news.

I found these in Georgia in March at Target.
Jason Blue Boost
I found these back in March. Where’s my credit, lol?
Transformers Cyberverse Tiny TurboChargers Wave 4 Found at US Retail

It happens a lot on this site, but anyone saying that a particular toy sighting isn't new (or news) because you saw it months ago or posted it in the sightings section and a news staffer didn't see it, post about it in the news section if you know it is the first sighting in your country, so that other people won't come along later and legitimately post a "first sighting" and take your news credit.
If you aren't sure, check the New Release listing on TFW here and post about it there if you don't want to post it in the news section, as your sighting has a better chance of being noticed by someone important in that topic, than in one of the sightings topics… oh, and bookmark it for future reference, as I use it all the time.
Also… for those in countries that didn't get the 4th series yet, or even 3rd series, spare a thought for those of us who didn't get ANY of the 4 series of Cyberverse Tiny Changers, or even the Movie Tiny Changers series 3, 4 AND 5! (Australia only got the first two Movie series, missing 7 series completely)
That's 84 toys to track down through expensive sources like Ebay, as regular retailers or collectables sites don't often sell them on their websites. And ones that did (Amazon stopped selling them after the 4th Movie series), they were sold as random packs, which meant a LOT of duplicates to get the set.

Okay, but you guys get everything. Hungary is not so lucky as you. We missed out on huge chunks of Earthrise (no Leaders anywhere, or anything bigger, Wave 3 Deluxes skipped). Compared to us you have it as good as the USA.
MrLemming
Oh, those? I don’t recall if it’s actually a series 4, but I found an Energon Prime from Fred Meyers a few weeks ago. Skybyte too.
Nevermore
Series 4 has also been out in Germany since November.

Yep. I spotted these at Target back in mid June and early July. I just assumed they had already been officially sighted before. Congrats anyway to Fc203.
BB Shockwave
Here is hoping these come out in Europe too.

Hoping series 3 gets a proper release in the States somewhere down the line! Hasbro if you're listening, send a couple cases to BBTS so I can buy some.

Unfortunately, according to the wiki, Wave 3 has only been found in Canada and some Asian markets. (Fortunately for me, the only one I really want from that wave is Dead End.)
Cataraks
Yeah, this isn't news. I posted about them being in texas almost 2 months ago.
How strange.
Cardion
Series 4 has been at retail for at least a month or two. Haven't seen Series 3 though.

Those have been in the United States since March. Target restocks them from time to time.
