    Checked Castleton and Washington St. TRUs. No Animated exclusives.

    However, Castleton TRU did have something interesting.

    Someone apparently went to the trouble of dolling up their leftover Crosswise with police stickers so as to scam the store for a refund. Whoever you are, you're both full of chutzpah as well as a complete loser.

    What.
    The.
    Fuck?

    Crosswise + Red Alert roof lights + G1 Prowl (and other) labels and Classics Mini-Con Steelwind? That's absolutely insane.

    But that does look like it could be Animated Barricade or something. I'd like to see a kid that doesn't know about transformers go pick that up and later realize it's not real...

    Found Leadfoot, Icepick, and Sledge at the Camby Walmart earlier this afternoon. They only had one of each, so there weren't any left after I got mine.

    Somebody was kind enough to do a figure swap at the Southport Walmart a couple weeks ago, too. Threw a ... what was it, Movie Blackout or Grindor (voyager) into a Sea Spray box. Just disgusting.

    Agreed!
    The worst I've seen was a Target Superion Maximus and it was replaced with Movie Dreadwing, and some (i'm guessing) random power ranger vehicles and a non transforming jet.

    Obviously the person went to a lot more effort with making Crosswise look somewhat like the picture. Still BS because some unknowing person is going to get that for a kid. At least return it and say, "this is the wrong product" so someone else doesn't get screwed by their stealing.

    TRU has Rodimus and Ironhide at least two each. They also had three MP Grimlocks.

    Grimmy was not there as of Thursday afternoon. Awaiting Generations wave 2+ and any CHUG repaints slipping into the Bayformers line

    Sooooo....no Animated at Castleton TRU, BUT,

    They got in a case or two of Wave 2 Generations. Picked up WFC Megs, WFC Soundwave, and Darkmount. Left the two Red Alerts, and one Soundwave.

    That was it for this week's truck, but the incredibly nice guy I talked to (he went back to root around for the figures that weren't on the shelf) said there's a new TRU "popup" store opening up in Clay Terrace on Friday, and that they're getting full trucks of new stuff for that store. So, it might be a good spot to look for new TFs.

    If it is anything like the TRU Express that just opened in Kokomo, I wouldn't expect much more than old stock as far as Animated figures go. The new generations at the Castleton TRU were gone when I got there around 2:30.

    Washington Street TRU in Indy was also a bust as far as Rodimus and Ironhide, but they DO have the all green legends Devastator. 2 if them as of 4:00pm.

    Target on US 31 in Westfield have the new legends wave (Sandstorm, Tracker Hound, etc.)

    Still no sign of Grimlock in TRU Greenwood. Also keeping an eye out for Wave 2 of Generations but again no luck so far.

    Went out to the clarksville walmart today. They had a couple of the deluxe/legends exclusive 2 packs (the one with brawl and legends jolt, the other was bumblebee and legends grindor i think), a couple leader class starscreams, a ROTF long haul- which i bought- and the rest was wave 1 stuff.

    Also went to the clarksville TRU, which had some TFA freeway jazzes, 2 electrostatic soundwaves (one of which i bought), several voyager lugnuts all marked down to 12.99, a bunch of the rotf multi packs including the gathering at the nemesis, and the customary wave 1 PCCs/deluxes and 20+ tuner 'why won't anyone buy me' mudflaps.

    I wouldn't necessarily count those TRU Express stores out. We had one open here in Bloomington a few days ago and they have Animated Rodimus and Ironhide

    Don't know if anyone would be interested, but in the clearance aisle on the grant line rd. walmart in southern indy, they had the Ramjet and Skywarp recolors of Starscream's ROTF mold. They came in those nice boxes with the collector's cards, and were marked down to 20 bucks apiece. They also had the battlefield bumblebee/rotf soundwave 2 packs there.

    TRU had that deluxe 3 pack and the green legends Devastator.

    Saw at least two (possibly three) Grimlocks at the Greenwood TRU a few hours ago. You may want to check tomorrow.

    Still no new Animated there, though (man, if TRU doesn't clearance those Ratchets- and they probably won't- they're gonna sit there for a real long time...).
