    Animated is here! :music 

    The Hiawatha Wal-Mart has Animated Voyagers, Deluxes, and the two-pack.

    Voyagers included Bulkhead, Megatron, Starscream, and Grimlock. I didn't see Optimus, but the Animated stuff is crammed into a very small space next to all the movie stuff, so it was really hard to really pick through.

    Deluxes only seemed to include Ratchet and Blackarachnia. I didn't see Optimus, Prowl, Bumblebee, or Lockdown. The store only had one peg of deluxes.

    The Davenport IA Wal-Mart has waves 1 and 2 of deluxes and wave 1 and 3 of voyagers. I did not see any wave 2 voyagers (Earth Op and Cyb Meg?) along with the 2-pack. I bought myself a Grimlock and a Lugnut and left everything else because I've got them on order from HTS already.

    Anyone in the Des Moines area come across any Universe classics figures or animated leader megatrons? I haven't seen them anywhere.

    I picked up a Powerglide yesterday at the Wal-mart on Elmore in Davenport IA but they didn't have any other universe ultra or deluxe figs.

    Today I picked up Onslaught and Galvatron at the Toys R Us in Moline IL. They still had a Powerglide and another Galvatron when I left.

    Both stores also had the universe voyagers too.

    W00t w00t!

    Only place I have seen the new universe deluxe figures (Hound, Starscream, Cyclonus, and Cheetor) in the Des Moines area is at Toys R Us. Haven't seen any of the new animated figures or the new universe legends figures yet.

    Finally found Animated Blurr and Swindle at the Ankeny Wal-Mart. There should be one of each left and two Blazing Lockdowns. They also had two Animated Leader Shadow Blade Megatrons. Looks pretty cool, but already have the regular version.

    If anybody's looking for Swindle or Blurr, head to the Hiawatha Wal-Mart. I was there a couple of days ago and they had over a dozen pegs packed with nothing but wave 5 Animated figures.

    They had Shadow Blade Megatron, too. Still no sign of the Jet Twins or Classics Inferno here, though (but if you want to army build with Uni. Tread Bolt head over the the NE Cedar Rapids Target, they still have about eight of the damn things).

    WalMart in Dubuque has Wave 5 Animated Deluxes. They had Wave 4 universe deluxes as well. Shadowblad Megatron is also in attendance.

    Walmart in Clinton has Universe Smokescreen, Dinobot, Hound, Cyclonus, Starscream, and Cheetor. So if you're looking for them, head over to Clinton!

    Found Animated Voyager Wave 6 at Target off Mills Civic Parkway, West Des Moines (West Glen). They had two Atomic Lugnut and two Wreckgars. I bought one Wreckgar and left the other.

    Greetings from the Minnesota Sightings Board! :) 

    I've been frantically searching for a Wreck-Gar, with no luck! I saw you mentioned in the MN board that you found Wreck-Gar! Congrats! Can you post his DCPI (UPC) please? Every time I call a Target, they ask for it, and I can't find it via Google search. Thanks!
