I was at Target this morning, and they had Animated Swindle and Blurr, and Universe Dinobot and Smokescreen. Is this old news?

Also, the Animated Deluxes were all $7.79, and the Universe Deluxes were all $8.99. My local Walmart recently raised the price of Deluxes back up to $9.99.

Thats good news Guy, I was looking around this morning but had no luck over here.

Don't forget to post your findings in your states sightings thread also. Help our your local collectors!

Yup. I have had the animated stuff for a while now but picked up 2 smokescreens at target this morning. Ol smokescreen is awesome! Well done hasbro.

Buddy of mine (liveconvoy) picked up animated jetfire/jetstorm at the same target here in savannah ga yesterday and tipped me off to the whereabouts of ol smokescreen.

Blurr is awesome! His paint job is sweet, and I love his tall thin bot mode. He's taller than all my other Animated Deluxes, except Lockdown. He's even taller than Grimlock's bot mode. He might be one of my favorite Animated Deluxes now.

Dinobot is cooler than he looks in the pics. I'm glad I change my mind about him and bought him.

Found them as well.

My Dinobot was defective.

I'm literally 50% on whether or not a particular figure is broken.

I was keeping an eye out for him at first, but then I saw the Henkei version which seemed to have the PROPER Dinobot color scheme. I think I'll just preorder mine at TFSource. Thanks for the heads up, though. My little cousin's bday is coming up and I'm sure he'll love Dinobot. It's a Raptor that turns into a robot! Isn't that every 6 year old boy's dream?

I found Dinobot at a Target, but no Smokescreen. I imagine he was bought already.

I finally scored Animated Blurr and Universe Cyclonus at my local Target on Friday. Thank you Target!

They also had Animated Swindle and Shockwave, and the rest of Universe deluxe wave 4. Passed on all(already bought Hound on Christmas Eve at Walmart).

No Inferno. :-x
