Whereabouts do you hang out at the Dream Cruise? I might be going over there Saturday afternoon/evening. No solid plans yet, but I live less than a mile from 13/Woodward. Anyone else going?

One of my friends said that Barricade, Ironhide, Bumblebee, and another Camaro ("Megatron" from Motor City Comic Con) were parked down at Woodward this afternoon. I hope they're out there tomorrow too!! I must see 'Cade again!!!

I'll be hanging around the 13-14 mile area primarily but will also be doing a fair bit of cruising with Beam. Check out what I recently installed in him. And yes, that is the real new Shelby K.I.T.T. car

His owners are friends of mine!

Nothing really. I was really looking for MP Grimmy so I didn't look at everything. They had a few Battle Ops Bumblebees though. Everything else was basic stock.

Good finds. And thanks to everyone at Extravacon today whom I do know from here, and whom I don't that bought from me today. It was very successful, and I very much appreciate it.

I hope you enjoy your purchases Tony, Pam, and Andrew.

Thanks, it's getting old, but is still fun to own.

I also need to thank Joe as well. Sorry I left you out Joe!

On a slightly TF note, I found these guys at the Dream Cruise yesterday. Two variants of Ironhide's GMC 4500-series TopKick model in black and one in red. I didn't see 'Cade all day; he cruised all week instead of the official day...darn :/

Indeed I do. I wouldn't even be offended if they did end up releasing Animated Blackout here. Totally worth it.

I love him, and have him in a stinger mode for display. Super awesome toy. I'm glad you are enjoying him.

can you post a link. TRU.com's search engine sucks. I've tried about 6 different searches and I can't find it. :-x

It's nowhere under the TF menu, either.

Come on! We're nerds! We're lazy! You should know this, bigwhitey21!

EDIT after more searching: Wow, it isn't even under the "exclusive" menu. You're officially a jerk.

Found it by googling "animated rodimus toys'r'us" and sure enough, the site lists him In Stock! They have an entry for Ironhide too, but the price is wrong, the picture is Stealth Force Hound, and he's Out of Stock to boot, so I just grabbed a Rodimus while the getting was good. He was still in stock as of 2 minutes ago.

Lol, I just loaded up the link a few seconds ago and before I could nab one, it refreshed with the lovely "Out of stock" posting up..

Oh crap! Sorry guys and gals. Just saw it as i was getting ready for work. didnt know toysrus.com was so crappy to navigate. I had the rodimus page bookmarked.

I noticed the other day at Walmart that they raised their deluxe and scout prices to 11.88 and 8.97 respectively. It looks like Target is still at the 9.99. Guess the mad rush will be to find all the Wave 2 stuff at Target. Hopefully we start seeing Wave 2 Generations soon.

Ann Arbor TRU had 3 animated Arcees. No rodimus or ironhide figures though.

by **bigwhitey21** » Thu Aug 26, 2010 2:13 am

Flint Toys R Us had 1 Ironhide and 4 Rodimus Minors at around 4:30pm on my way to work Wednesday. would have posted sooner but no signals at work. :-(

Picked up 1 Rodimus and the only Ironhide.

Believe the hype! Rodimus is probably one of if not the absolute best Animated figures in my opinion.

I think you are overhyping it a bit. The legs KILL it for me. The alt mode is cool, the arms and torso look fine (although i would have liked the exhaust to be closer to the wrist for 'gun' purposes), but he has a very hard time standing.

I hit AA TRU at lunch. No new animated. The Arcees were gone too. They did have a case of the HFTD Wave 2 Scouts. I picked up 2 Breachers. Left the rest. They had 1 Breacher and 3 each of Insecticon and the orange repaint of ROTF breakdown.(Crankstart?) They weren't on the pegs. They were stocking and I saw the case, already open out in the main aisle.
