The official release date of the Age Of Extinction toys keeps getting closer and closer … until then we may find some AOE toys on the shelves sparingly, which TFW2005 boards member Grimlockimus just did! We have our first reported retail sighting of the AOE Voyager figures as well as Power Attackers. Found at a Wisconsin K-Mart were the Voyager figures Grimlock and Evasion Mode Optimus Prime, marking this as the first US sighting of the figures. Also seen were Powers Attacker Bumblebee and Hound.
The Age Of Extinction toys are slated for official release on May 17. Happy hunting!

K mart? I'm surprised anyone can find new toys there now

No, they had them over a sign marked 19.99. When it rang up 24.99 I told them about the sign and they gave me the lower price.

Why does it say voided entry? Did they have to override the street date?

Nice of them to troll their customers by Putting Grimlocks "Real" colours on the box isn't it.
I wonder if ASDA in the UK will be stocking the new Walmart exclusive and Tesco the Target ones like usual.

Seeing the Power Battler Crosshairs hanging (literally) with the Generations deluxe figures there like that really shows how the Generations figures need a sticker or something on them to make them distinguished as the 'collector items' cos the packaging is so similar that with a quick glance it's not easy to tell that those are separate lines…
Grimlockimus
No it's just a matter of me knowing what the release date is and pulling them out for me despite that. But if a different store puts them out then by all means I'll buy them without a second thought.
That and the people I work with have hawk like perception when it comes to street date stuff ^^"

Got a Evasion Mode OP at my local KMart today, too.
Eh? What work ethic prevents you from buying toys at your own store? Your store would want the sales over other stores, I don't understand why they wouldn't want your business locally. Heck, where I work (not at KMart, so maybe it's policy or something there), they let us hold stuff for a day or two, just not when it's going on clearance (or deeper clearance).
My KMart was $25 too. Kinda stung but eh, sixteen day early OP!
Dark Jedi
Yea the ones that joust? Here is a pic of prime and grimlock.

Wait is that Dino sparker Slug and Drift down in the corner there? Isn't that the first signs of them at retail in the US then? o-o

Denied at the Kmart I saw them at. Not too concerned, but probably won't really want them by the time I am able to buy them.

Lol… (imitaiting the "More than meets the eye" theme): Shelfwarmers, keeping the shelves dry.

Hmmmm…

We'll probably see them in those colors as Target exclusive repaints or something similar. They are probably those wild colors in the initial release to appeal to kids.
