The Energon Pub

Only days after we reported the first in store sighting of Animated toys in Australia it seems that more Commonwealth countries are finding Animated toys in their stores too.

Seibertron member rabstanz has a sighting from the Land of the Long White Cloud (otherwise known as Middle Earth or New Zealand):

The Warehouse at Auckland's Sylvia Park shopping complex were selling:
Prowl, Bumblebee, Cybertron mode Optimus Prime, Black Arachnia and Lockdown in the deluxe figures for $29.99.
Bulkhead, Cybertron mode Megatron and Starscream in the Voyager series for $49.99 and the two set with deluxe figures of Optimus Prime Earth mode and Megatron Cybertron mode for $49.99 as well
(all prices in NZ$)

While on the other side of the planet, the Disgruntled Brits have reason to be slightly less disgruntled with Seibertron member Tim Masterton reporting that the exact same figures were available at Toys R Us in Milton Keynes UK. No exact prices were given, but Tim managed to snare four Wave 1 Deluxes and the three Wave 1 Voyagers for just under £100.

Don't forget to post your sighting information in the SIghtings Forum and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest international release information as it comes to hand.

yeah it is kinda funny that everywhere has them but the us as far as i know......

Holy poop on a stick! Gotta get me to a TRU to check up on this. To the Sledge... shoes. Not driving sucks.

Hmm, I have a very cunning plan.

£100 for those 7 items is about $30 CDN more than what they cost in CANADA. I could get a free Voyager with that or 2 Deluxes. I wish I was in the US. The price difference there would be $80 US. Cheapest place for TFs in the world.

to bad i can't go to toys r us because i'm going to bemidorm tonight oh well i'll see when i get back

This is great news, It's a shame that I live in the part of the uk that gets everything last, I only just got the optimus prime vs megatron 2 pack but I will check toysrus tomorrow.

Great news, but I'll have to put off picking up wave 1 for a couple of weeks since I'll be shelling out for the Club exclusive preorders first. At least I should get reports back on which of my local branches they've shown up in by then, so no need to worry about wasted trips.

I think I reported seeing the deluxe wave 1 about a weak earlier in Hungary (you know, small country in the middle of Europe)

Since then, there've been reports from across Budapest from deluxe wave 1 hitting 5-6 stores.

Nothing new Animated in my local TRU (Medway). Only some new Movie figures, the Cybertron Wing Sabre repaint and a restock of leader prime.

I saw waves 1 and 2 deluxe animated toys in Toyworld in Wellington (NZ) this morning for $35 each.
