Im so stupid! $^%$&$&$^&$& paid way too much for the ark playset:mad::mad:

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Okay. Just have a run through your posts before then to see if there needs to be anything edited before the rest of the world (including your employees or Hasbro) sees it.

And thanks for the advance warning on these things... I would have been one buying some of these before this sale if I hadn't known about these prices.

No worries, will do oh BTW i missed this too

[JuzMel]

[griffin]

If it was found by a non-member, he has a right to post it, like if they came across any other store's sale prices early.
(I will merge this with the existing topic tomorrow)

[Shirokaze]

It's all good, the catalogue with pricing is now up on their website.

[JuzMel]

Awesome, you can shop online from Sun the 26th.

But why oh why do I still have the urge to go to the midnight sale? LOL. :p

[kaiden]

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Goddamn. That's nearly half the price I paid for it.

[Hursticon]

I received the catalogue today and managed to take some Hi-Res scans to compliment what KaRNiV8L PRiME has already provided:

[nyerk]

Are the Human Alliance basic figures in this sale at all? Now that I think of it, I don't think I've seen them in any of the upcoming sales.

[jaydisc]

[Hursticon]

Dapto has it's display out:

http://i1032.photobucket.com/albums/a409/Darkone666au/TF%20Sightings/BigWDapto-Sale-Standee-01.jpg


Though very disappointingly, they've only stocked Wave 1 items (By the truck load) as there was absolutely no Shockwave figures at all. :(

Dapto Big W is also a participating store of the Midnight Sale. :cool:

My fingers are hell-crossed that Warrawong will have Shockwave. :o

[griffin]

I saw wave 2 of the Legions and GoBots in your photos... but I guess that doesn't count. :p

[blackoptimus]

Has anybody even sighted the DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime Set?

[mharry]

saw them putting it out at bigw palms centre coffs harbour $159
and the ark $48

[Hursticon]

I saw wave 2 of the Legions and GoBots in your photos... but I guess that doesn't count. :p

I stand corrected :p. and yet continue to be disappointed by my local store. :(


Has anybody even sighted the DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime Set?

You know, I completely forgot about him :o - Probably because I took photos of literally everything the Dapto store had out yesterday and Jetwing Optimus was nowhere to be seen. :confused:

[blackoptimus]

I'm really keen on that guy. I love the guns and the new chest.


You know, I completely forgot about him :o - Probably because I took photos of literally everything the Dapto store had out yesterday and Jetwing Optimus was nowhere to be seen. :confused:

[tinyJazz]

Now I remember, this is why I'm going to Big W over Kmart: they got the Legion 3 pack with Rodimus! I knew it was worth waiting for :p Not the soundwave though, meh.

Might pick up powerglide if I can find him too, but seriously not really that interested in movie toys this time around. ;)

omg, Hursti :rolleyes:

[Fonecrusher]

Has anybody even sighted the DOTM Takara Jetwing Optimus Prime Set?

Check out your local Myer, mine has about 3 or 4.

[Hursticon]

omg, Hursti :rolleyes:

:D - Glad someone picked up on that. :p

[blackoptimus]

Check out your local Myer, mine has about 3 or 4.
Is it $148

[k.wong23]

Is the 2pm pricing available Australia Wide?

[jaydisc]

I'd suspect so, but I'm keen to get validation on this before I ditch out of work. :D

[i_amtrunks]

Is the 2pm pricing available Australia Wide?

I know I have gone into stores about 4pm Wednesday (in NSW) and the prices have rolled over for the next weeks sale. I dont know if the 2pm is local time or AEST.

[mharry]

Just got back from BigW Coffs Harbour Plaza, and they were down, now I won't have to stand inline for layby tomorrow :)
they also did a price match for the shockwave/ skyhammer i had on layby

[Lord_Zed]

In that case off I go, let hope prices are down at Miranda.

[jaydisc]

Validated

[gantz]

ACT Big W Transformers have also rolled over to the sale prices :)

[Hursticon]

Yep, Big W Dapto rolled over at 2:01pm on the dot and I grabbed me an Ark playset. :D
I also sighted the Jetwing Optimus, or at least I should say the 20 of them that were stacked adjacent to the Truck Display that weren't there when I took photos, too whilst I was there. ;):)

Really, really pissed with the advertised Shockwave figure that is non-existent in the Illawarra stores - So far there has been only 1 sighted and that was at TRU Wollongong, at least LCO doesn't have to pull his hair out with frustration like I am. :mad:


I need 2 Voyager Shockwaves, so if anyone could help me out in finding a pair at Big W's Sales price I'd be really grateful. :o

[i_amtrunks]

Funny how there was no-one in the store, yet in another few hours it'll be packed!

My local had only wave 1 deluxes, voyagers, legends and leaders in the main Prime display case in the middle (entry) aisle. However on the end caps down in the homewares section was the voyager wave 2 assortment, as well as the Huge $148 Prime set.

[Lord_Zed]

Yeah same quiet as can be, but come midnight whoa! I forgot to mount a full store search, oh well picked up enough DOTM stuff anyway.

[griffin]

Is it $148

Myer - 170
TRU - 150 (not found there yet)
BigW - 148
Target - 169 (down to 149 for their sale in 4 weeks time)
Kmart - maybe not getting it?

A tip for people looking for this toy - walk all around the store. These are big boxes, so aren't likely to be stacked in the toy section. And during their annual toy sales, they have toys all throughout the store.

The BigW at Garden City had them near the kids clothing section, which was a fair bit away from the regular toy section.

[Accel]

I found Jet primes on the floor next to the Prime Cab display at my local Big W.
Sadly they still only had Waves 1-2 of Deluxes :(

[i_amtrunks]

Sadly they still only had Waves 1-2 of Deluxes :(

That seems to be a common thing.

There is the target sale in a month for cheaper later wave deluxes (hopefully!)

[bowspearer]

That wasn't the only shortfall- absolutely no sign of Powerglide in an entirely full store display- go figure.

On a side note, wound up Laybying that Lego Imperial Shuttle- not sure if I'll build it or hold onto it for a year when it winds up being worth twice what it is now heh.

[mknell]

Bit dissapointed in the stuff they had at blacktown big w, no ark sets at all I don't think they put them out at all because every transformers section was full up like no sold out sections and of course no shockwaves so a bit annoying really

[Mr Ed]

At Garden City in Brisbane, they had limited Wave 2 Legions.

Did you walked all the sections and checked all the island stands? The local Big W I went last night had The Ark and Jetwing Prime stacked near the ladies clothing section in the mists of Cars 2 plush toys!

[Hursticon]

Your best bet people is to take the catalogue and a picture of what you want and ask a staff member, after having done what JuzMel has suggested and traversing the entire store. ;):)

No where in the Illawarra, apart from TRU Wollongong, had any Wave 2 Voyagers on display/shelf at all but I asked a Big W staff member last night if they had any back in their docks, providing pictorial evidence to back up my knowledge, at which point they ran it through their system and (At least in my and LCO's case) happily went and dug what we were after out for us. :cool:

[griffin]

The BigW at Garden City had just about sold out of theirs on the first day. They only sold 2 Jetwing Primes though (which were a lot harder to find in the store).

[mknell]

Indeed I did, and the guy who you could ask where everything was he was really useless, he had no idea he just said it's on the ends I checked out the whole store, it's prob just the Blacktown store that runs this bad lol They Had Jetwing Primes there but just no Arks

[jazzcomp]

My local Big W has heaps of jetwing primes. They had a few Arks. :)

Yeah the Sales Assistants are really of much help. When we went at midnight yesterday, I couldn't find Jetwing Primes and The Ark too and my friend asked one of the Sales assistants. He walked off somewhere having to ask others as well! In the end we found it ourselves amongst other clothes.

On another note, just came back from Forest Hill Big W, couldn't find the Jetwing Primes at all. But they did have The Arks, few sky hammers and heaps of Primes. No more shockwaves, when I picked him up on 5.30pm Wed, there was only about 4 left. Though they did have Deluxes Thundercracker and Barricade, which I haven't seen at other places yet.
