I saw the "eggs" in a couple caltexs, but no TFs ones at either. :(
Nice work on completing the set.
How many did you end up buying to get the set?

I think i ended up with 22 eggs.. which isnt too bad really.

i have some spares if you or anyone else is after them.. i will sort through them and list them up sometime over the weekend. :D

Found these at BigW (which is part of the same company as the Woolies Petrol stations).
They had them in a box of 12, so I grabbed the box and bought all 12, hoping that it would be one of each figurine per case... Naturally, I wasn't that lucky. :(

Box in it's non-display mode.

And how it was in the store

The contents of one Capsule - A figurine, a Sticker, bag of 9 jellybeans, catalogue of the set.

After opening up all 12, I only got 6 different figurines, and 8 different stickers. (stickers were random - not paired up with figurines)

As you can see, I didn't get any Shockwaves or Sentinels (which I wanted more because they were new characters to TF3). Instead, I got 6 of Optimus (all 3 versions), 3 of Bumblebee (2 of the 3 versions), and 3 Megatrons (all the same version).

That totally sucked.
I can understand that the capsules are packed randomly, so the boxes would have a random set of 12... but gee, the odds were 1 in 3 - which means out of every four Capsules, one of those four should be a Sentinel or Shockwave.
Unlike the "metallic" figurines from the previous movies, this wasn't a set I wanted to complete. I just wanted one of each character (there are only 5), preferring to at least get the two characters I didn't already have figurines of.
I guess it gives me something to hunt for while there isn't much on the toy shelves lately.
