Amazon Dates Animated Toys as releasing May 1st! Amazon.com has dated the sale dates for Animated Voyager Cybertron Megratron, Voyager Earth Mode Optimus Prime, Bulkhead, Starscream and the Battle Begins 2-Pack as May 1st, 2008. This means that Animated will be available much sooner than the June 23rd ship date give by Hasbro. it may be worth getting these on amazon than waiting for them to ship from Hasbro. Unless you care more about the 10% savings than the quickness of getting them.

I ordered the 2 pack a few days ago, but I wouldn't get too excited about the release date just yet. I buy frequently from Amazon (particularly books and films) and they often have incorrect release dates when pre-orders are first put up for sale only to correct them later.
I hope that May 1st is the case especially with what we are seeing out of Ohio. if so it would be almost 2 months ahead of the hasbro ship date. also i found it curious that they had only listed the Voyagers not the deluxes.
Amazon still says the AllSpark Rubik's Cube is coming March 17th, 2008. It's not released yet. Animated will be the same way.
I didn't think Animated Toys were above the age of consent. Though I don't suppose you have to be, but otherwise, why bother dating?
