Don't know if this counts for anything, as I have no pics or proof, but I saw them at Target in Wooddale, IL, Irving Park Rd. FWIW.

Seen them around for awhile in Central Cali. Blaster might be in my collection eventually, but not Heavy Load

They've been out and around here in Maryland for about a month, first at Target I believe. I bought Blaster last week at Target after waiting him out for a while. This morning was the first time I've seen them at Walmart though; I had a Heavyload in hand and put him back. I seem to be noticing a whole lot more slicing of the tops of boxes from cases being opened than in past years. He was slashed, and so was every other boxed TF on the shelf.
I haven't decided I really want Heavyload, because I know the mold from Cybertron, but I do like the Constructicon-green minicon with him! However, there is just too much good stuff to get right now, which is making it difficult to decide what is really worthy of a buy. . .

+1 to the old news. I bought my Blaster about 4 weeks ago from Target. I bought Powerglide about 2 weeks ago from both TRU and Target, returned the TRU one since it was cheaper at Target (next door). When I bought Powerglide at Target they also had Silverbolt but I passed on him because his transformation looks meh from the box and has the exact same sounds as Powerglide double meh!
On July 22 I bought that big piece of crap Supreme Animated Prime and returned him the next day (fyi, if you return something to Target and its been opened say its defective - as they told me, even if its not).
Still looking for Onslaught.

Yeah, I passed on these weeks ago. Still contemplating Blaster. Picked up Silverbolt.
This isn't really news.

She means if you would have looked there first you would have seen that this has already been reported (Grated there's 600+ pages but still).

FWIW, I've only just now seen these in Baton Rouge (last night), and it was at one Target. Hell, most WMs just put out the wave 1 deluxe Universe figures last week.

That sucks! I just grabbed Uni. Galvatron and Green Camo seeker today at lunch from Target. It will be neat to get Crasher when she comes out.

We got these at Wally World a few days ago. I still don't like Blaster...just ain't right...and I didn't buy Heavy Load right away (and probably shouldn't have). I was hemming and hawing over the evil version of Quickmix, and I ended up getting him just to team up with Movie Mudflap. His box art and backstory are actually cool, but the figure is still as quirky as ever...kinda good, yet kinda bad...ehhh.
Would've been awesome if they put some rust or corrosion marks on the figure to make him look more worn and infected with his noxious concoctions!

Thanks to the IDW rereleases I've been recently reading the Marvel G1 comics. The Cybertron Soundwave mould in these colours reminds me a lot of the way that Blaster was drawn in those comics, which has left me wanting to get him when he (finally) is released down under (still waiting for Universe full stop).
I'm still up in the air about Heavy Load though - and Dropshot. They just don't convince me as much as the Autobot recolours do.

Blaster in hand looks great in the packaging. I nearly bought him to keep him that way. I have a thing about supporting character revivals. However comon sense prevailed for once and I put it back since I realy didn't like the figure the first time around anyway. The same goes for Heavy Load.
Maybe with a good sale, but till then, it's $40 I'm keeping.
The colors on the jet do look good in the packaging though. Even if they just retooled the head, I'd get this figure again. Till then, it's Burning SoundWave.

I have Blaster and I love him. These recolours seem to be based a bit on that Japanese site that features custom TFs.
Im going to add some more paint apps to him and I want to recolour another lazerbeak as the "other" character mentioned (due to an error, both Blockrock AND another "tape" character are mentioned in his bio).
The other bot is rubbish. Its in the colours of an Autobot Micromaster, with a decepticon's bio and to be quite honest all they had to do was release it either as "Mix Master" OR re-release it as Quickmix (with appropriate colours), with two gun-mode Minicons that could be his "Targetmaster Junior" partners.

Has anyone else's Blaster had an extra red bird in the chest? Mine came with two guns, one bird on display in the package, and then an extra bird just like the other but transformed into the chest.
