    I'll wait it out. Right now there's a more pressing problem at home.

    In fact, the K-Mart store that sold me the Animated figures also sold DeeJay and me the Energon BTR sets. I checked out the K-Mart on the east side of Hamilton (City), Ohio because they also had Energon BTR back then -- but alas, they had no Animated figures today.

    Megamus checked the Florence, KY location while I was on the phone with him, and he didn't find any down there.

    Ohio isn't close enough to California for me to go out and seek them yet, so until more news arises, I'll stay put and curse you Ohioans for getting these toys early. :)

    If you have myspace, I will be adding pictures as I open the figures. Since the carded and boxed pictures have been shown on TFW2005.com and other places before, I will most likely show size comparisons of the figures to other figures (e.g., classics or other popular figures).

    I will be adding boxed Megatron tonight because I want to open him soon.

    Now I have to figure out how to widdle down the right pieces so BB's stingers will snap in correctly.

    Depends on wher you're at, up north where I am is fine. Where you are, Raliegh you said, is bad. lol A few store people have said its coming in three weeks so maybe its an early release, just earlier in Ohio around Botcon territory. Dammit, why?

    Couldn't they have waited until I got there?! ;_;

    Man, I fear for how ravaged Cincy's stores will be by Botcon Friday.

    Apparently, there has been another sighting at the Milford store in the Greater Cincinnati area. Check out the Ohio sightings forum for details.

    Have these all been at K-Marts, or have they shown up at other stores?

    Sucks here in Houston they like closed all the Kmarts. So I wonder if this like means that in the stock rooms in all the stores that will be carrying them have them in their cause I would so like raid a stock room for those lol. Sigh its very highly unlikely any other store will put these out early. They know they will be shot and killed if they put them out early.

    Hmm. Interesting. Unfortunately I'm still not quite sure I want to pay $25 for a $20 figure....

    Also, I'm not sure if Hasbro is really testing the waters here - it seems like a lot of people can't even buy the damned things.

    Could we file some kind of group lawsuit against Hasbro because all these early sighting has caused me some kind of mental stress...

    Animated figures found and purchased in Ohio, BotCon is in Cincinnati, Cincinnati is in Ohio, Cincinnati has the Reds, Optimus Prime is partially Red...

    It all means something! The truth is out there...
