    Hi guys,
    I was at the K B Toys inside Coronado mall today and saw more re-releases of Universe figures! They had Energon Barricade, Storm Jet, Steamhammer, and Sharkticon! It was wierd, the cards of the combiners (Barricade, Steamhammer, and Storm Jet) didn't show that you could collet other figures to form a gestalt (Like it shows on the Energon cards)!!! Maybe this means that they have no plans of re-releaseing the limbs?!?!? Anyways, they also had a ton of movie figures including All-Spark Powered (No Salvage :( ) and had thier Real Gear figures marked down to $6.99!! Maybe this is a sign that Animated will be in soon! Also, I heard a rumor that K-mart will probably release Animated figures very soon like mid May!!! I just hate going in there because it smells like meldew :thumbdown !!! Maybe I'll wear a dust mask and take a look sometime this week :inquisiti !

    Movie Premium Bumblebee Found!!!

    Hey guys,
    I was at Wal-Mart on Eubank & I-40 last night and found a Movie Premium Bumblebee!!! There was only one on the shelf, but they had 3 cases labeled "Wave 5 '08" on a pallet that they were going to work out! Not sure if that includes more Bumblebee's or even Salvage, but it's worth checking out!

    I have a couple of request:

    1: If anyone out there has been to Botcon, please contact me because I want to go to next years, but have no idea what the cost is or how to register.

    2: Please, Please, PLEASE post if any Animated figures are found!!!!!!

    Thanks,
    Squallte

    Hey guys,
    I was at the Target on Paseo today and they had wave 3 of the Movie Robot Heroes in stock! Barely enough to get the full set! They also had Salvage in stock as well! Still looking for any sign of Animated! I think that Target (on Paseo) might be getting ready for them. They have a section right across from the Movie figures with Clearance Star Wars figures spread out on multiple pegs! Seems like they set the pegs for Animated, but put Star Wars out until they get the green light to put out Animated!! I’ll visit Target on Eubank tomorrow and hopefully find something!

    Hey Guys,
    Bad news!!! This item never came in and now I'm makeing a claim with PayPal to get my money back!!! Sucks because I was really looking foward to it!

    By the way,
    Any ideas if the Animated and Movie figures will be sold in different sections (like they will continue to sell Movie figures and keep them in stock)? Or are the Animated Figures going to take-over the movie figures (Movie figures discontinued!)? Or will stores get lazy and just mix the two series until they run out of movie figures??? If they do the later, I seriously doubt we'll see animated figures before 4th of July!!! Hopefully I'm wrong!!!

    ok back from my trip to walmart. no animated figs, but i did see a almost empty four sided shelving unit that is being occupied by some sort of water toy. when that is empty i think the TFA figs will go there

    Spent the whole day looking and NOTHING!!!! It's already June people, GET ANIMATED STOCKED UP!!!!

    Anyways, found Transformers Universe Deluxe Figure, DiveBomb

    http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9192741

    And Transformers Universe Deluxe Figure, Jolt

    http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=9192742

    Both are available on-line with site-to-store options!!! Not sure how that works, but it will work untill Animated starts to hit shelves. It may even be a good idea to keep checking walmart.com too!!!

    well, I got some news. since TFW was down yesterday, I checked Target.com, Walmart.com, and Toysrus.com for Animated figures. Walmart didn't have anything, but both Target and TRU had pre-oders for wave1 with a release of June 22!!! So I gave up and ordered them! I'm wasting more then $8 in gas driving around town anyways!!!

    LOL! I had the same thing happen to me when I was looking for G1 colored Movie Jazz!! I ordered it on-line since I didn't find it in stores, next day we happen to be in Target and they had a whole end cap filled with them!!!:gen069: 

    Anyways, I really think this is the best way especially for Prime and Bumblebee!!! You know if you're not the first one to the display you'll only find about 10 Lockdowns and maybe 3 Prowls! This way you are sure to get the hard to find figures!!! But I will still look for the bigger ones like Starscream, Bulkhead, and Megatron! I still think we won't see them till the end of the month, but good luck to us all! And please post if any found!!!
