Ash from Carolina:
Nice find.

I thought I'd get a little break after finding Soundwave, but it looks like it's time to start up the hunt again. Darn you Animated for making cool characters!
justinRODimus:

Pikatron:
Anyone have any pics of Animated Blitzwing? Or anyone who can possibly link me to a gallery? =D
Moonscream:
Damn, I really really want him but had hoped to buy the Universe Lambos first! Oh well, guess they'll have to wait...and so will I. Fortunately it seems that the stores I can get to are a wave behind at least so maybe I'll get lucky next month.

Check the feedback section.
SmokescreenGT:
Cool, I will soon have all three triple changers. But, should I display Blitzwing with my Animated figs or with my Classics Astrotrain and Octane? Decisions, decisions.
Lion:
ARIZONA REPRESENT!! This is my favorite figure, I've had it for a while, and this (someone else said it too) is the guy who got me interested in the show and the toyline.

That about sums it up, all right.

But seriously, I might have to go hunting (aka dreaming) for this one next week.
Wazzpinator:
Any news on a canadian release date? I fear that blitzy will stay on shelves like Bumblebee.
Megatronwp38:
crazy shit coming out too fast
Lumpy:
nice find man...and have you ever heard of the band lydia? they're fantastic...
Jarodimus:
Oy.

So, still need to find: Blitzwing, Onslaught, Powerglide, Blaster, Galvatron, Acid Storm, Legends Hound, Legends Jazz, Legends Megatron, and the wave 2 Universe Robot Heroes. Ah, well. I'll get to 'em all eventually.

August 1st was the date originally quoted for wave 3 Animated Deluxes at BotCon. Wave 4 didn't have info cards at BotCon, but yeah... they were listed for 8/1 at SDCC. Not sure what's going on there.
Kaijumaster:
Sweet primus yes!

FOUND IN CALI AS WELL.

copy and paste from the sightings forum:

I'm always the last to get stuff on here but i think I lucked out this time.

For the first time, the LA area gets an early release. Last night my friend needed something from a store so i decided to go with him.

On one of the pallets I found a wave 4 voyager case, looks like blitzwing is going to be rare. In the case were one blitzwing, one grimlock, one lugnut, and one optimus. We actually removed the wrap from the pallete and pulled the box, one of the dudes unloading later looked like a scalper type and he was opening star wars and gi joe boxes and removing certain things from them before putting the boxes in front of the shelves.

Don't bother asking about location, i went back earlier today and they didn't have anything else. The location was mentioned a couple times here already and isn't that hot of a spot. I think they ordered one case because they had no voyagers on shelf.

I'm cautious now about saying where things are found because I noticed some frank and sons sellers at some places I mentioned. If i run into any I'll be buying spares for the people on here.



4th "gerwalk" mode, sweet!

Sorry that was written by my 3 year old girl who got to the comp. :laugh

Im waiting for my Blitz in the mail. Should arrive any day
Robogeek28:
Those Blitzwing pics make me even MORE sad that I don't have him yet.
Optimus Scourge:
Sweet!
Beastbot X:
In case anyone's interested, Blitzwing (along with Acid Storm and Galvatron) is currently in stock at the Club Store-- retail for members, $22 for non-members.

https://www.transformersclub.com/sho...productid=1659

(It looks like their preorder function is working as well, so be careful what you buy-- they have order pages for the Universe Wave 1 & 2 Voyagers and Ultras, but they're preorders that are due to arrive in mid-September.)

Hmm, where are they located? If I don't have to pay tax, then that would be a good deal perhaps. I've debated joining, but probably won't...

Damn damn damn, I waited too long, they're all sold out.
Predaking:
Rather than paying the inflated online price (tax+shipping) I'd wait for it to show up locally, but the wait still sucks.

This is apparently too late to be of use for these particular toys, but FP is located near Dallas, TX. And they don't charge tax, just shipping, though their shipping is a touch on the expensive side-- I live in Ohio, and ordered Acid Storm, Galvatron, and Blitzwing, and the cheapest shipping option was a little over $11.
Blackout:
Can't wait to get it!
Solscud007:
Does anyone have the DCPI number or sku number for Walmart?

The DPCI won't do you much good as it is just the 'voyager size class' DPCI.
Bionic Commando:
He finally made his way to the east coast here in NY

The hunt...begins!
Doug:
I finally found the Animated Jazz tonight at a Walmart. I will keep my
eyes open for Blitzwing.
AniProwl:
I might get Octankor instead due to this toy's lack of weaponry in robot mode
KING KONVOY:
mistake
2point6:
found a blitz wing couple days ago in va. he's pretty fun to transform
whitewolfe313:
I found an animated Blitzwing in San Antonio TX about a week ago, but he was the only one.

I just want to find an Ultra Magnus. I am sure that in a few weeks he will be everywhere because there are leader class Megatron and Bulkhead all over the place in San Antonio now.

Now you can find Delux wave 3 sets everywhere but no set 1 or 2.
