Colorado strikes again!!!!! I found both at 2 different Walmarts today in Colorado (the two around the Park Meadows area off Arapahoe Rd and off Quebec). Well, one had them out and the other had the box full of Voyager class Universe figures sitting there waiting to be put out. Good hunting!
edit: here's the pic
edit2: i forgot to mention this earlier, but universe/classics heavy load and blaster both came with coupons for 10% over at hasbrotoyshop.com for any transformers purchase. just thought people would be interested in finding out
flamingunicron:
Damn You Colorado!
Beastbot X:
Did you take any pics? 'Cause the mods are gonna need pics if you want this to be frontpaged.
SoundMaster:
Might get Blaster if I see him.
Kimmer:
by far these two are the duds of this line. not only that but they just look terrible. definate pass.
ssg4life:
i do have a pic. however, my internet was down at home and i couldn't get it hosted from there and i can't do it from here at work. i'll post a pic when i get home
ssg4life:
updated now with the picture
ssg4life:
also, i edited this into the first post, but there's a 10% off hts transformers orders coupon that came with each one of these guys
Beastbot X:
Wow, cool! So are they inside the boxes packed with the instructions, or is there a way to tell if the boxes in the store have them?
Jazzmus:
Those are some nice looking toys.
madman1366:
I just had to put out an APB on my wallet, last seen jumping onto a freight train for parts unknown!

they are inside with the instructions. i was also informed on another forum that the same coupons are with the wave 3 animated deluxes, but somehow those have yet to hit anywhere around me
Nightrain:
I love the art for Blaster but I just can't take that toy seriously.
ORIO:
Totally getting Blaster.
Don't know why they didn't take they Cybertron Quickmix mold and repaint it into G1 Quickmix. His minicon could even be used as a Targetmaster. Would've been way more Classic like that.

The original was already sort of a homage to G1 Quickmix.
Optimus Peev:
Meh....I'll be passing on these.
Nice find, though!!

Sorta.... Cybertron Quickmix was orange and yellow. But G1 was red and white. A repaint in those color would've sold that mold in the Universe line for me.
If I ever get off my ass and start customizing, that's my first choice.
All of the other voyager repaints I plan on picking up though!
MetroBoy:
I think Blaster and Blades are the only two re-paints from this line worth getting. I can see Heavyload and the rest shelf warming till they go on sale..... especially with new molds like Silverbolt and Onslaught around the corner.
Autovolt 127:
Blaster!!!!!!!!!!!
Railguard:
Great! I still haven't found the first three!!
Grimwing:
wal mart has first sighting. granted its in colorado but, hopefully that means the wave one release is'nt to many more days off.
This universe wait is killing me. I bought a chunk of animated toys do to the drought. (They are pretty cool though.)
>>universe assortment<< universe assortment<<
The palettes can not arrive soon enough. sob sob.
-blaster: decent and challengeing cybertron mold. I'm not hyped about it but will certainly buy it because its a jet, can't beat it. (I think blasters round head would look weird on soundwave's frame.)
-heavy duty - well classics devastator was lacking a mixmaster. +
I liked quickmix's mold, So I think this is a solid repaint.
on_a_warpath:
I'll definitely pick up Blaster, not Quickmix.
ssg4life:
blaster is definetly awesome. the only thing about blaster is that in his art they have half the window on his chest done in yellow like the original, but the actual toy just has the all blue window. i like heavy load too, but the colors could've been better. would've been much cooler if they had done a constructicon color scheme to go along with drill bit's (the minicon) color scheme
Red Alert:
both are good repaints
Jarodimus:
Still muchly want Blaster!

The coupon code is on one section of the new cross-sell insert that was first found in (I believe) Animated wave 1 Leaders. I've also found the insert in Animated wave 3 Deluxes and Universe wave 1 Deluxes.
The code, BTW, is TF2009. 10% off, and good through 12/31/
09. It says "one-time use only", but I doubt it -- none of the past HTS codes have been restricted to that.
Beastbot X:
Thanks for the intel. If I continue to not find anything anywhere (That's 33 things out now that I can't find!), I'll probably use that code when the SDCC exclusives (hopefully) go up on HTS.
Kaijumaster:
HAsbro really should have remolded Blasters head. and a new animal, I know the second is an unrealistic expectation, but at least give us a new head!

Maybe Fansprojects will do both. I'd buy it. Wouldn't put it past them either.
acave720:
I think Blaster has the worst mold. Its a shame that we will never get a new classic Blaster.
G1Wheeljack:
Good thing I'm passing on these guys, Hasbro's sucking my wallet dry with all these simultanious releases. I'm sure Powerglide & Onslaught will show up in a week or 2 at the rate these are showing up.
