Animated Toy Sightings!

[Krayt]

Found Stealth Lockdown and Rescue Ratchet in Melbourne at a Target....

Kmart Garden City had a few of Swoop, Sentinel and Patrol Bumblebee, in addition to the prior wave (Oilslick, Jazz, Soundwave, Snarl).

Kmart and BigW both had Voyagers Lugnut, Grimlock and Blitzwing as well.

BigW had some of the leader 2-pack.

And TRU had a heap of the Supreme sized Optimus, on sale for $70 (from $100).

Also saw at Kmart Garden City, 11 Activators Bulkhead and no other Activators. Bit of a pegwarmer perhaps?

BigW had some of the leader 2-pack.

What 2-pack? You mean they had both Bulkhead and Megs?

Maybe he meant the deluxe OP vs Megs Battle Begins 2-pack.

[jaydisc]

Ah, that makes sense.

Saw a truck load of the Stealth Lockdown and Rescue Ratchet at Camberwell Target. $35(ish) a pop.

Yep, the Optimus Vs Megatron 2-pack. That's the annoying thing about that 'leader' class size - it suggests that every toy in that size is a leader character, while it can be confusing to refer to a leader character who is not a leader sized toy (like the leaders in the 2-pack).

I mentioned it as a sighting because I hadn't seen them in stores for a while now, in case someone new was looking for them.

It is pretty tough to find one now. There used to be so many everywhere I was afraid they wouldn't go and would shelf-warm. Then all of a sudden they all disappeared, probably due to kids watching the cartoon on Channel 10?

One solitary Animated figure at Target Blacktown: Supreme Prime.
The rest of the TF space is taken up by a single Universe Sunstreaker and shelf clogging movie toys.
