If you need to…discreetly…move a variable to (say) off the screen \_Ü_/ then you could do:
move variable [foo v] to x:(300) y:(300)::variables

Why would you need to do that, though? Just use the hide variable block.

If you need it to be shown, but it keeps interfering with the gameplay, you can move it at different times.

Support! This would be very useful.

Definitely! Support!

I would like a block that looks like this:
move variable [ variable] to x:(0) y:(0)::variables
I don't have any particular project that needs this, but it could help with coming up with other projects that uses it.

Support. Very good idea.

Next time, please come up with your reasons this should be implimented before you post the topic. No support.

Next time, The4thPixel, please read the OP before you reply to a topic.

There are many more uses beyond the ones the OP referenced as well,

positioning variables (e.g. score) differently when a game finishes.
Using them as text boxes in a project.
Further from the above point, they can become signs/tutorials in scrollers.
Draw a user's attention to it, by shaking or otherwise moving.
Storing a submitted user answer and then floating up the screen. Could be a nice effect.
Showing slideshow slide numbers in a different position in each slide to stop it getting in the way of slide content.
Making it the ball in pong!
Show other characters' stats, e.g. you could have “health” floating above all NPC's heads.
and so on and so forth

You probably should too. I notice almost all of your recent posts are very passive-aggressive, and you seem to take every post quoting yours as some kind of personal attack.

Support! This can help a lot of people and even though with the workaround that @DaSprudLord made…

25% support as per the workaround.

But what is the workaround…?

Create own watcher using a sprite. Then can place anywhere on screen.

Or make a second variable with similar name, set it up in the second location, hide watcher in the first location, copy value over to second variable, show second watcher.

…it is still useful for New Scratchers that thinks how to move a variable but they fail to do so.

You're being pretty hypocritical here.
He's mocking you as much as you were mocking @Shaymin524.

I do agree that theonlygusti shouldn't have used sarcasm to make his point, but doing it back just makes you as bad if not worse. Try to be nicer to people when you're posting.

The feature has not been implemented. It is just a suggestion.

I remember moving variables in scratch 1.4

Move [Variable v] to x:(0) y:(0)::variables

support, although you could use

say (variable)

it would look weird and you'd need a tiny sprite

Some drafts for the actual blocks, plus several additions I thought of:

make [var v] go to x:()y:() :: variables
make [list v] go to x:()y:() :: list
set [width v] of [list v] to () :: list // my addition
set [height v] of [list v] to () :: list // my second addition
set display type of [var v] to [default v] :: variables // third addition
set display type of [var v] to [slider v] :: variables // fourth addition
set display type of [var v] to [big display v] :: variables // fifth addition
set slider [min v] of [var v] to () :: variables // sixth addition
set slider [max v] of [var v] to () :: variables // seventh addition
