[mknell]

[Mr Ed]

At Garden City this morning around 10am, not much specials were left.

They had 2-3 Voyager Payloads, one or two scouts left and some Robot Heroes.

On a happier note, they had the Legends RTS Wave 1 and 2.

[swoop]

My local big w had the same sales already mentioned so its nationwide.

They had no voyagers left so I'll have to check big w in the city but I'm not holding my breath that they'll have any left either:(

[Paulbot]

What bargains! But isn't it a bit early for them to clear the shelves for DotM?

They probably bought so much crap that they decided to purge them.

Remember the ROTF Deluxes going for $9? or was it $12?

[Paulbot]

The $12 deluxes were international market overflow. So are some of those cheap Robot Heroes. And last Sunday I saw some ROTF scouts at Big W that were international market toys too.

But yeah they needed to do something to get rid of the Payloads and Ratchets.

[griffin]

Christalcase mentioned that the Powerbots could be $20 each as well.

Why can't they have these sort of sale bargains at Christmas or the July sales?
With bargains this big, and not being publicised much in the catalogue, it's like a secret sale.

[swoop]

Rotf powerbots are 20 but the bumblebee and prime that were released later are still normal price

It's sales like this and the MP04 exclusive that makes me wonder sometimes if there is a Transformers fan hidden deep in the ordering/marketing department of Target and Kmart, now I'm starting to wonder about Big W... :D

[jaydisc]

Much of this is indeed clearance pricing. Here's some pics and rundown:


Big W is doing a large clearance across most toy lines, and definitely in Transformers.

$3 - Robot Heroes
$7 - Scouts (up to Autobot Alliance)
$19 - Voyagers (up to Autobot Alliance)
$39 - Leaders (up to Autobot Alliance)

Woooo just picked up a Leader Starscream, from this sale what a bargain! Besides that however wasn't much too look at thought about getting Night Ops Ratchet but the colours are horrendous IMO.

[UltraMarginal]

I thought I'd posted this earlier but it doesn't seem to have stuck.

Macquarie park Big W was gutted when I went there at lunchtime today, unless you're looking for some Robot heroes.

I was considering getting a couple Leader starscreams to repaint as TC and SW to have next to my Masterpiece movie starscream when it rocks up.
probably not going to happen though.

[tron07]

Nothing interesting ini BW EastGardens...

Why can't they have them when i'm in Cairns and not two days later? :mad:

[blackoptimus]

Dam, I could really do with a rotf prime and hftd prime and a couple of em' voyagers.

[Gutsman Heavy]

I gots me a payload, so I am happy!

[Deonasis]

Noosa Civic and Mt Ommaney BigW's only really have Payloads. I was hoping for a Starscream or Seaspray :(

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

ROTF leaders $49 (megs & op)
ROTF OP w/camshaft $30
Leader Battle hooks OP $39

Why not make them all one price

All at Big W Mirrabooka WA

Looks like they aren't even consistent between stores, I've seen a phot here for leaders at $40, but Macquarie (which was totally empty) had leaders for $30.Unspecified on the tag as to which leaders.

Just to clarify
I work at Big W and all stores have the same sale and prices as this is transmitted to all stores centrally. I'm currently on holidays so I am unable to check all the prices but if there is any variance in the tickets, it would be because the store has put the incorrect ticket up on the wrong Leader toy. ROTF Megatron definitely scanned up at $49 as it would at all Big W's.

The variations in Leader price is due to there being 3 different keycodes (Big Ws 7-digit code for items)

Leader with Bonus (OP with camshaft)
ROTF Leader (OP, Megatron, Jetfire, Shadow command Megs)
and HFTD Leader (Hooks OP, Starscream)

Hope this helps

cheers, thanks for the clarification.

doesn't help that the only tag I saw just said leader class and there was absolutely nothing on the shelf, like a bunch of OTCA members had swarmed past :eek:

[tjparkside]

checked geelong big w-sale prices there are(but no stock,except 1x hftd leader optimus prime)....
tra movie 2 leader $30.00(was $69.73)
tra voyager asst $19.00(was $48.82)
tra leader asst $39.00(was $87.62)

this store still had deluxe rts bumblebee(2),perceptor(1),wreck gar(1)&G2 optimus prime(1) for around $23-24.

[Paulbot]

My local store still has a heap of Animated Deluxes (lot and lots of Swindle mostly, but also a Bumblebee and some Lockdowns) still at full price (around $24). You'd think they'd try to move those on in this clearance?

[ITZTRU]

I just picked up Leader SS. But Battle Ops Bumblebee was still $87ish?? I thought he was going to be on special as well?

Couldn't find Megs who I really wanted, or Prime for that matter...and I checked out three different local stores...

Heads up
I'm pretty sure Battle Ops Bumblebee (BOB) is on special at Big W 3/3 or 10/3 for $48

[ITZTRU]

...and if someone finds a Leader Megs (not the special command one in black or whatever, just the standard one please) in melbourne do u mind posting up for me please?

Thanks in advance!

[blackoptimus]

Umm they also have HFTD Deluxe VS Legends for $20 but the normal deluxes aren't $12, the only deluxes that are $12 are ROTF ones.

[JuzMel]

Nothing of interest at Big W Forest Hill unless you're interested in Payload and Ratchet. They also had quite a lot of Robot Heroes and Scouts.
