Kmart sale 31st oct - 20 Nov

[jena]

Today I got a look at the new Kmart catalogue starting on the 31st. Sadly I couldn't get any pictures. Here's the TF sales:

DOTM Leaders - $65
Ultimate Optimus Prime - $65 (lowest price so far?)
Cyberverse action sets - $13.75
DOTM Ultimate Gift Pack (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/in-package-image-of-transformers-dotm-cyberverse-ultimate-gift-set/22707/) Kmart exclusive $29 (that's from memory, I got home and realized I hadn't written down the price. I apologize if that's the wrong price but I'm quite sure it was $29).

I think I'll probably get the gift pack, it looks pretty cool.

Ultimate prime 65 bucks! might get a spare mmm...

[kaiden]

no surprise the ultimate primes are $65 - my local one has more than 20...

[Paulbot]

Cyberverse action sets - $13.75
Anyone in Melb give a me good lead on a store with plenty of Optimus and Megatron? I'd love to get them both at that price.

[Mr Ed]

The gift pack for 29 bucks seems like a good deal. 2 Commanders and 3 Legions. All repaints naturally!!!!

As long as my memory is correct, since that price was the one I forgot to write down.

[Quickstrike]

Cyberverse action sets - $13.75

It'd be great if I could get the Shockwave and Ratchet sets for that price.

[griffin]

It'd be great if we could even get the Ratchet & Shockwave sets here... :p

[Quickstrike]

That would be great!

[UltraMarginal]

Hell yes, that's the first thought that went through my mind.

[STL]

Awesome on the Cyberverse Action sets!

I've never seen a Kmart sale start on a Monday.

I've never seen a Kmart sale start on a Monday.

Coinciding with long weekend, I suspect an opportunity for them. I'm sure they've had sales (non-TF) for 3 day only events before that started on non-Thursdays but coincided with a holiday or popular shopping period

[Paulbot]

It might have a different start date in those other states who don't get a day off for the races.

Or it could be a typo.

[jena]

That's the date printed on the front of the catalogue. Most Kmart sales start on Thursday and end on Wednesday but this is one of the catalogues that will run at the same time as the normal weekly catalogues because it's a longer sale than normal.

[gantz]

When is this catalogue meant to be released?

Have been checking k-marts website all week with no luck, just the same 3 catalogues as yesterday :(

[jena]

I'm not sure when it will be available to the public, probably a few days before it starts.

Arrgh, I'm confused, Is that bumblebee this bumblebee (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/cv28.jpg)?

[griffin]

It's the same mould (the one they created for TF3) but has black in different places.

[tinyJazz]

Thanks Grif, So, anyone want to sell me the bumblebee out of that set? :o

[tron07]

I think I would be returning my Ultimate Prime again :D

[Sharky]

saw them unpacking some tf stuff at the local kmart.. cyberverse... wave 1 figures... and some ultimate primes...

[jena]

I'm surprised the catalogue still isn't online, I'll try to snap some pictures at work tonight.

[tron07]

seeing lots of generations at kmart

[Paulbot]

Got the sale catalogue tonight. Now to find Prime and Megatron with their trailers on Monday. :)

[Quickstrike]

I'd buy that Ultimate Gift Set if they had done more to differentiate Sideswipe and Crowbar from the original versions.

[zs96742]

is anyone know which store in Adelaide has them all?

[griffin]

Sale is supposed to start tomorrow, but the Kmart near me didn't have any of the 5-packs on shelf yet.
At least the sale is for 3 weeks, so even if it takes a while, hopefully it'll show up before it ends.

[Demonac]

Is anything else on sale? (LEGO)
I can't seem to find this catalogue anywhere.

[griffin]

It's still not online yet, which is odd if it is supposed to start today.

[jaydisc]

You can see the catalog on Lasoo: http://www.lasoo.com.au/catalogue/kmart-catalogue-imagine-the-toys/4o9ez6pg5.html

[Paulbot]

That saves me typing up the Lego stuff.

Found the Megatron and Prime I was after at the first store I tried so happy. They didn't have many Cyberverse sets but stacks of the three leaders and Prime. All those should be easily found on sale.

[jena]

If someone sees the 5 packs, they should grab a few spares. My local store had none over the weekend but then again, our store is only a D grade. It's pretty pathetic.

[reillyd]

The sale is on, the shelves have tags, but there was no stock at two Kmarts I visited today (Helensvale and Southport). Just an empty shelf. I doubt it would have sold out so quickly, I think the staff are just very slack. There's big gaping holes on a lot of shelves for a lot of action figures, and they just haven't been restocking for awhile.

[verboten82]

the catalogues a dud, i visited 2stores and non of them have the 5 packs... kmart did a bazinga on us :p

[zs96742]

grab a Ultimate Prime from Kurralta Park, SA. They don't have five pack as well. But they have Cyberverse action sets: plenty of Bees, two megatrons, one prime and several stratscream left.

[Mr Ed]

Garden City Kmart had about 20 something Ultimate Primes all stacked up together


5 pack nowhere to be seen

[jena]

I'm ashamed to work (only 9 hours a week, don't judge me) for these fools! What a dud.

[jena]

Well, well....

From the NSW Sightings thread



Warrawong Kmart has DOTM Commander class gift pack for $30. The one with Optimus, Crowbar, Powerglide, Sideswipe and Bumblebee repaints.

Thats all thats out there though

[SofaMan]

Only BBee and Starscream of the Cyberverse sets at Port Adelaide...will try West Lakes tomorrow.

[Hursticon]

I'm ashamed to work (only 9 hours a week, don't judge me) for these fools! What a dud.

I only just received the catalogue today and granted, this could be due to a delayed 'Walk-&-Be-Paid' employee, but I've got to say that these sales aren't getting quite the advertising they'd normally get it seems? :confused:
You gotta do watcha gotta do, as Monday Monkey lives for the weekend. ;):p

[UltraMarginal]

It does seem to be a little slow, but don't forget the sale goes for a couple wekes, so thre may be stock in a few days or a week.

Maybe stock was a bit slow coming in from somewhere, as such the advertising has been delayed to avoid the average joe being dissapointed when the stock isn't on the shelf.

I'm hoping we get the soundwave and ratchet sets by the end of the sale. that would be sweet, though it may essentially be a clearance sale.

[snaketales]

The Kmart I went to this morning had a note on the shelves saying the 5-pack was unavailable "at this store", but rainchecks could be made.
I don't know if it was just that store or state-wide

[Hursticon]

Keeping LordCyrus' recent sighting post in mind, I went to Kmart Warrawong today and I've got to say that the only tags indicating anything TF related was on Sale was for the Leader Class and the Cyberverse Action playsets...

They had at least 12x DOTM Ultimate Giftpacks and roughly 30x Ultimate Primes of whom didn't have a Sales tag (Hence reading $89.00) and weren't anywhere near the rest of the TF figures. :confused:
It was highly evident to me that, for this store at least, this sale clearly appears to be for Stock Clearance as everything that was on shelf were Wave 1 crap that hadn't moved for 6-8 months; I wonder why when pretty much 89% of their on-floor TF stock consisted of Bumblebee... :rolleyes:

Aussie retailers really don't seem to be doing themselves any favours if the above is anything to go by, which is especially evident when you hear several parents with kids going through the isles saying: "It's not here/it's still too expensive - I'll just buy it on the Internet (In the case of one Grandmother: Internets :p)". :rolleyes:

I'm honestly very glad to hear parents and grandparents turning to the Internet for retail, a far wiser and cost effective choice in my opinion. :cool:

[JuzMel]

Just back from Kmart Burwood 24/7 and there were about 10-15 sets of the Ultimate Gift 5-packs there for anyone who wants them.
