    If it's legit, it's either an accident, namely the movie recolors being packed at the same place as animated stock and one got thrown into the wrong box or hasbro decided to throw us a bone and then see how we'll react. Hasbro did reiterate on their transformers site today, the street date is june 22. The odds are that this is just a one time occurance, and everone shouldn't race to kmart. Now if hasbro threw us a bone, there may be a few other "easter eggs" out there. I'm going with the fluke theory my self. Even if's legit, most of the kmarts in philaPA area haven't restocked transformers since christmas. hasbro's probably recalling voyager assts from kmart even as we speak. they probably read these post as much we do. still, if anyone finds something, post it. where there's one mistake, there's bound to be more. If legit, great find. There' now hope.

    I totally agree with you on this. I'm not going to run to my 6 K-marts in the area til someone else finds more Animated toys. Just sounds likes a fluke to me. But of course when I see a second sighting, I'm all over K-mart.:)

    I saw it in Valencia too but I left it there. Not my favorite from the series. I'm waiting for better stuff. Good luck on the auction. The box is ripped on the side.

    It probably one that made it out before the lead paint check that freaked everybody out in the toy industry. Not that it has lead paint but it probably made it out before the recall of all the stuff already made. Why do you think we haven't gotten toys for the Animated Series yet?

    because hasbro doesn't want the movie and animated lines competing against each-other.

    Hard to tell. But very probable. Things like Animated won't have a strict street date, btw, only a general release time frame for store's to set their mods, etc.

    Well that's two people who saw it in the store. And animated is not out yet because hasbro wants to milk the market dry with movie repaints first.

    WTF?!?


    But they shouldn't be in retail backrooms yet if the date is June 22. 4 months ahead is a lot longer than 3 weeks (Zellers retail stores released the full first wave of movie stuff weeks early here in Canada).

    This is interesting. But I won't pursue any more Animated stuff yet, I still have the Movie Premiums to get for now. I already have Lockdown, and just won a Starscream for $35 off eBay, so I can hold out until June. Now, if the Classics 2.0 stuff hits stores early, I might just have to take a flight out to a California K-Mart to hunt them down. :D

    The clearer the image, the easier the shop.

    Something still doesn't smell right about this. No Fan in his right mind would have seen a lone Animated figure 4 months in advance and not picked it up.

    to gain himself about $10 and a reputation? im not sure, most likely a box of animated accidentally got to a k mart and a store worker put them on the shelves. if it is a hoax than the initiator is a real weirdo.
