emWalmart/em- A poster at TFW2005 has found both emUniverse Dinobot/em and emUniverse Smokescreen/em at retail in a strongWalmart/strong in strongNorth Carolin/stronga.br / br / The poster, emraltherr/em, states that he was able to purchase both toys although there was difficulty with Smokescreen. Apparently, he was not in the computer yet.br / br / blockquote class=unciteddiviI found Universe Smokescreen and Dinobot in a local Wal-mart today. I didn't think they were due until March. When I brought them to the register Dinobot rang up fine. Smokescreen was not in their system. After about 45 minutes the manager rang up the Smokescreens as TFA Bumblebees. Then they pulled the remaining stock off the pegs. I'm not sure if this was a mistake with Hasbro sipping early or Wal-marts distribution. But they have been purchased by me in North Carolina. I have attached a few pics. One is in Wal-mart, the other is in my house. I didn't scan the receipt because Smokescreen wouldn't ring up anyway. And I don't want to get anybody at Wal-mart in trouble if they weren't supposed to sell them.br / br / strongSmokescreen UPC: 653569376057/strongbr / br / strongDinobot UPC: 563569371007/strong /div/i/blockquotebr / br / To see emraltherr's/em original thread with pictures of the figures on store pegs you can click a href=http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/universe-classics-20-29/universe-smokescreen-and-dinobot-released-at-us-retail-166503/ target=_blankhere/a.br / br / Have you seen any new toys such as emUniverse Smokescreen/em or emUniverse Dinobot/em in your area?

emACtoys.net/em- The red scout-sized Revenge of the Fallen Decepticon car had a few names associated with it.

Little did he know that the escape of Starscream would draw dozens of new Decepticons to Earth. The desire that burns brightest in his spark is that the war will soon end. He is determined to see that end come, and so he works with his human comrades and the other Autobots to hunt the Decepticons that have come to Earth, and destroy them, one by one./ibr / br / Stay tuned to a href=Seibertron.com/a for more upcoming toy and movie information!
