Thanks to 2005 Boards member POSSESSED_DIGIT we have our first US sighting of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Bumbleswoop (Bumblebee & Swoop) 2-Pack.
This figure is a re-release of the Cyberverse Roll & Combine wave 1 Bumblebee & Dinobot Swoop/Bumbleswoop pack now in Buzzworthy Bumblebee packaging. It was found at a Target in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania.
See the image after the jump and let us know your impressions on the 2005 Boards!

Easily the worst of the three…what was it? Roll and Combine?…giant Crash Combiners. Also the most produced one. Probably this is repacked unsold stock.
(and yes, I have them all. And all the Crash Combiners. I find them oddly appealing.)

I like the new colors better!

I actually want it to complete the Dinobots sets from Cyberberse line to put them on my shelves!✌️

Damn I thought these had been spotted before. Saw them a few days ago at the Carlisle PA Target.

That's because there are some fans who genuinely believe that.

I saw this weeks ago at a target in Sacramento and didn’t realize I could’ve gotten another News credit. Bummer

…jokes aren't your thing?

I swear I saw these at Marshalls in early December. Unless this is the same release in different packaging.

This is new? I saw it yesterday at Target. I thought they were clearing out Cyberverse to make room for Earthspark. Man…not following the kids line is interesting. I've seen RiD15 come and go. Cyberverse come and go, and now Earthspark toys starting to show up. I couldn't care less about any of them.

That’s not how this works, at all. Hasbro would never ship warehouse items back overseas, pay someone to open them, print new packaging, plop the old toys in, and pay to have them shipped back to the US.
That would be much more expensive than just taking a liquidation loss on the items.
WishfulThinking
Or, there's a demand for this because some people missed out on Swoop, hoping there would be a better version.
Terror of space
Skip!

LOL. I bought this on clearance last summer. Just different box.
RoadPigJohn
I have to get this one just for Swoop…✌️
MrLemming
Basically yes. It’s along the lines of “Shit! Nobody bought any of these things and the warehouse is crammed full of them!!”

Sorry but I got to laugh at this (no offence to those whose actually like it)!
I mean I saw the non Buzzworthy packaging version in a retail store here in the UK weeks ago.
Is the repackaging suppose to entice new people to buy it?

Absolutely horrible trash. Especially Bumblebee.
MrLemming
If they had more articulation in the combined mode they would be a lot more interesting. And it’s not like they couldn’t have done so, they just wanted them done cheaply.

Fixed that for you.
