I had a birthday once where I got a load of tax back from the government plus my deposit from my old landlady. Fantastic day!

So I made a road trip down south with my wife and daughter in tow, on the hunt for Animated. I think I hit up two or three Walmarts, a Target and a TRU and by the end of it, I had found and bought every one through Wave 3 of deluxe and voyagers. Then I spent the next few days rationing out my haul by only opening a few at a time.

To this day, it's still one of my favorite toy lines ever.

Animated was the first line I followed from the rumours, to the prototypes to the actual figures, although I only wanted the dinobots. I went to the toyshop one evening, and saw both Grimlock and Snarl's wavemates on the pegs/shelves but no sign of the 2 of them. I had one last scan of the shelves only to spot Grimlock hiding on the top shelf, I then thought to try on the opposite shelf behind some old deluxes and there was Snarl! I suspect they were both hidden which possibly made it even better.
