    There's one of these in my London Drugs, but I didn't feel like spending 12 dollars on it, so I passed.

    As far as what's living in stores right now, is animated Ironhide old? I mean it's either that or ROTF Sideways.

    Animated Swindle. That magnificent bastard is still on the pegs at the Big W near my work.

    EDIT: I just remembered, at the very same Big W, there are still ROTF Activators on the pegs.

    Oh, also Energon Megatron and Alpha Q. Sears took out a few cases of them a while back. They were pretty beat up boxes.

    My TRU has Tuner Mudflaps, regular Mudflaps, and Preview Soundwave and Bumblebees.

    Mind, this was before Thanksgiving's "buy 1, get 2 free" so they're probably out of the Soundwaves at least.

    My local Hastings still has a Universe Blaster from 2008. I think that's the oldest I've seen (other than the BM stuff that most stores had for many, many years after the cartoon was over).

    Tru is evacuating old rotfl stock that hasn't been on their shelves. They had a buy 2 get 1 free sale on black Friday. Sadly, most tru's didn't have enough room in their stock room to take all of them. That's why they're on shelves now. Before black Friday they only had the mudflaps.
