TF Animated available at retail in Ontario!

I told you guys that they would be out at the end of april here in the state since reset is either the week of april 13th or april 18th depending on what part of the states you live in so keep your eyes out for animated figures.

-_-...and this is why people don't have respect for the mods and admins anymore. They're not given a reason to.

Don't you think a comment like this could've been handled better via PM, IM, or email?

I know we are

Either way, congrats man. I also called an early release on these and Universe. We may not have Universe yet, but I'm willing to bet we see them on the shelves before June. Remember, release dates aren't set in stone.

Congrats Magnimus! Has anyone seen them in Mississauga?

Hey Autobot032, what's so brow raising about Animated figures showing up here instead of your back yard?

Actually, I don't care that you guys are getting the figures, in fact, more power to ya.

I just can't understand why Cinci and Ontario were picked out of all the places to do this test marketing thing.

I could see LA or Chicago or NYC. I understand (though I think it's a bad move, considering they'll all be hocked left and right...) that Cinci is where BotCon will be this year, but I'm guessing the Canadian release us because of Toronto and it's metro area.

That's just a guess though...still, I can't figure this out. I consider it to be dumb. Either release them or don't, but figure out a plan and stick with it Hasbro! It's hard enough keeping up with the show!

Validation or not, idiotic posts or not, it's not Getter's place to put him in the spot light like that. Let Shortround succeed or fail on his own merits, not with the help of those who are supposed to help us.

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Jokes. He he he, I get jokes.

Whatever I was wrong about the comerical it turned out to be an add for t.v. show that direct t.v. was sponcering don't know why. But as far as the reset goes all you had to do was search the G.I. Joe fans Unite--25th anniversary fig talk and More! in general discussion there was a guy who works at target that said that the reset in his area was taking place the week of the 13th and I talked to a person that works at the target near me that said the reset was the week of the 18th for my area and more important I asked about transformers animated and she confirmed that they were in the computer and would be put out during or shortly after the reset and there is further proof just look at the topic tf animated toy now up for preorder at amazon.com or something like that and there shipping date is may 1st.

I am not the only one to find these. RandomFerrett was the first, but since then other members on the TFW2005 boards in Hamilton have snagged them too.

I also am a bit perplexed as to why the Eastgate Mall in Hamilton, Ontario even has these. I'm inclined to believe that it is come kind of mistake and the store put these figures out as part of regular TF toy restocking, unaware that they are not widely available. I'd go back to see if they restocked (thereby indicating they have more than a few cases of toys), but that Wal-Mart is a little out of the way. I'll check the other Wal-Marts in town and see if they have them too to determine if the appearance of TFA deluxes at Eastgate are a one-time fluke.
