Wave 1 deluxes of Animated toys have been found on the shelves at Wal-Mart in Ontario, Canada. Long-time board member RandomFerret made the discovery, so this is for real. No word on how far-spread the release is yet, or if it’s just in Ontario only. As soon as we find out more, we will be sure to let you know, so stay tuned to TFW2005.

a key thing to look for is any ad for TFA on tv. if you see it keep checking in that store
SPLIT LIP
If they show up more places, this may be a solid peice of evidence supporting the TRU computers listing them as coming in the 1st week of May.
Awesome.

So they're hitting another location, awesome! How long before it spreads everywhere? I want me some TF:A dammit!
Nstrang
yep I got myself BB prowl and Prime there as well. they went there last week but I saw an ad for the show on ytv. look for that in stores
Gnaw
The Walmart in Guelph has a fuckload of the first Wave. Lots of Lockdown's, BB's and Prowl's. They had a few Prime's too, but not too many.

Just so everyone knows there have been no further sightings in Canada yet except for the one stocking of deluxes at the Wal-Mart in Hamilton.
So no they are not 'out' in Canada now by any regard, this appears to be an isolated case (now long-gone).

Wow, I was just on vacation in Canada this weekend, and went to the Hamilton Walmart. All I saw was two columns of empty pegs though.

I asked clerks from both Zellers and Walmart to check their computers for the deluxe TF:A UPCs and neither have them listed yet.
Yobuster
Well we now have their UPC codes. if anyone knows someone at one of those store chains they can easily do a search for that UPC and find out stock levels or estimated delivery dates.

Yeah, I checked the Wall-Mart in Surrey, BC, and there were no Animated toys to be found.
Sy-Rein
I checked my local WM and nothing yet, nothing at Zellers either but I kinda figured that before I even went in. (Abbotsford, BC)
Yobuster
Did anyone in Hamilton ask the walmart if they had any more stock in the back or when their next shipment was due to arrive?
What's the chance the Walmart in BC will ahve it?
trebleshot
Sorry to nitpick, but you didn't get them first this time either. Cincy had you beat by at least a week.
Still, it is nice to see we Ohioans won't be the only ones to draw ire from the fandom, even if we didn't buy any.
Railguard
So has anyone seen them anywhere in the states like somewhere in NY? I wonder how long it's going to take to get to NY.

Would someone mind to scan the packages's bar codes and post the jpeg on here ??
I really really want to print the bar codes on paper then take them to the
in store scanner to check whether any of them would be popping up at their computers in the stores near me (in California)..
I am hoping for a surprise…

You forgot beef and beer.
Super_Megatron
No. It was one store and they are all gone.
madmegas4

Fffffffffffaaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrr
Obvious Prime
Have you any wool? Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
Cruellock
Wha? Dang, the hunt begins. Didn't see any at my local Walmart though.
