Darn. I'm going to be overseas then.

Then again, there isn't exactly much I'm interested in that's either out or coming out while the sale is on.

Yeah I think it is a random thing. I noticed that even if you do it around the same time or pattern it gives you a random result.
The only constant result is if you hold the button down for 6 blowing up sounds it will pop.

Thanks for posting that info Paul :).

Personally, I don't think there's gonna be anything to be found at this year's midnight sales so I seriously doubt I'll be shoving those Mums doing their early xmas shopping to one side ;).

According to BBTS' last newsletter email, The first 3 deluxes of Classics-verse will be getting released on:

"TRANSFORMERS UNIVERSE: The first wave of Deluxe, Robot Masters, and Legends will also be arriving around July 1st."

so, in that case, it'll probably just be the remnants of the Movie/Allspark line on sale & K-Mart can keep them :rolleyes:

Last year, Iceburn and I went and found out that even 24 hr ones close for two hrs prior to the beginning of the sale so staff can set up stuff.

Yeah I'm seriously doubting that Kmart will ahve much good stuff for sale this year. The fact that Blacktown and Mt Druitt seem to be depleted at 1am of all the sale items anyway doesn't help my enthusiasm.

I think that was about the price Borgeman and I paid for it. Maybe less. It just surprises me so much though. Borgeman and I picked this up when they were trying to clear it for like $35 odd or something. And now they get it in again to offload something they know didn't sell well the 1st time? Even in sales?

yeah this is true, they did have them on clearance, though when i got them, they werent yet marked down - i think they had dropped the price before letting any staff know/before they were meant to, especially when i saw the surprise on the layby ppl after triple checking the price :)

Hey new guy here.

I was in Chadstone Shopping Centre earlier today and well it seems that the K-Mart there has already started the sale (sort of). They've started to set up. When you first walk in, to your left they've already got a lot of the toys up for the big sale next week.

Lot's of Lego including the new awesome Coast Guard sets (ahem I picked up the helicopter set, first person to take one off the shelves, took one down when they were actually putting them on haha). As for Transformers, noticed only Animated Voyager class toys (Starscream, Bulkhead and Megatron), not a fan of the movie or crossover Star Wars line so didn't pay much attention to them.

As for price, no idea. Hardly any of the toys in the new section had any price tags. The Lego Coast Gaurd helicopter set set me back $60 though.

Just to quote Kmart's own fine print on its 'low price guarantee'

'If you find a cheaper price on the same product in stock at another store, when you buy it from us, we'll match the price & give you 10% of the difference.'

So yeah, if your Kmart has something that the BigW catalogue covers, make sure you take it along to get it for less than BigW's price.

griffin
1st July 2008, 12:43 AM
What's a raincheck? In Kmart terms?

A raincheck is to reserve an item at the sale price when they restock, if they run out of stock during the sale. If it says 'no rainchecks' it means that the sale price is only applicable to items currently in store.
Rainchecks are usually applied to large size items that stores don't carry many units of, or on items with small discounts. Heavily discounted items, or one-off shipments (like each wave of toys) rarely have the raincheck option to them.

I was in my local K-Mart & the 16 year olds had a big pile of sealed TF boxes that they were opening & putting on the shelves. So, I happened to walk over to the sealed TF boxes & began searching for any marked "Universe" :D.

Anyway, One of the 16 year olds came over & basically told me off. :D

I never did find any "Universe" boxes in the pile & she acted dumb when I asked her if she'd heard of the upcoming line :rolleyes:.

LOL - the sale started for me today already....

I had Kmart price match the Millennium Falcon kit this morning, I bowled up about 11 am with the Big W catalog in hand and showed them the cheaper price of $36.62. As the sale was being processed I realised the sale starts tomorrow but the clerk didn't even bother to ring Big W.... who still had it on the shelf as $48 :D

I could have price matched the Darth Star too - it was $99 at Kmart but Big W already had them marked at $46. That would force Kmart to sell them for about $41 :):):) (not purchased as I already have one but get there today if you don't) Shopping a day early really helped beat the sale crowds too!

3rd July 2008, 08:18 AM
Well I went in at 8am this morning with the hope that there would be SOME sale for the Animated figures not in the catalogue.

20% off! :D

So I actually came close to clearing them out, they didn't have much stock. Tossed the Voyager Prime, Starscream, Bulkhead & Megatron plus Deluxe Prime, Bumblebee and Prowl all onto lay-buy. Wasn't much left on the shelf after that.

Also tossed onto Christmas lay-buy a Caterpillar Jr. 4-pack for my nephew and a RC Car and buggy for myself.

More than likely i'll go back this afternoon and snare the SWTF Death Star.

I managed to get Warpath and Storm surge for $10.39 due to a price error that marked them as the Allspark legends battle pack. Crosshairs was at regular sout price $13.59 after discount.
lcz had the same thing last night. It was a nice little surprise.
Another K-Mart stuff up

For those in VIC, Kmart Burwood still has quite alot of Animated deluxes and voyagers at the price iceburn saw. Go grab then before they totally run out. I managed to get them to price match my deluxes to $18.80 too. OH yah and I saw a couple of Legends class Universe figures too.

So i didn't have any BigW brochure at all, just the printout of Borgeman's receipt. Told the chick at service desk my mate had got K-Mart to price match as seen in the printout. Things didn't look good, she spent a good 15 mins on the phone to the BigW in the same center... then finally returned and said they only had the 2 pack on sale. So in my most polite, innocent voice i suggest 'Isn't there anything you can do, the product number is the same, and it is definitely K-Mart!'. So she calls the manager and lo and behold, without any convincing he just says "Match it!!!" So she rings it up, and just as she's about to say $23.73 please, boom the 20% kicks in too :)

Your mileage may vary!

Voyager Prime is such a good toy. It has taken my 2-pack Prime's axe now. :p

No wonder NZers move over to Australia. So many good sales and then price matching to boot. If only NZ Kmartd actually stocked items

There was a public notice in today's Herald-Sun from K-Mart apologising that because of "unprecedented demand" the $70 Ultimate Bumblebee has sold out.

A bit odd since the sale is almost over, but could it really be unprecedented? They sold out pretty quickly last time they had Ult Bumblebee on sale.

I don't mind, still a good publicity stunt for K-Mart and the TF brand. I wonder if ppl know that BigW have them as well as Myer and Target? :rolleyes:

I went into K-Mart in the morning when the sale first started and they had a few Ult BB's, when I went back in the afternoon they were all gone. So it's highly possible that they're not crapping on.

Bet TRU wish they could sell out of their stock as quickly! :D

There were only a few Ult Bee's left at my local store on the Saturday after the sale started.

Zippo: yeah but NZ seems to have a more thriving Transformer Cosplay culture. That's one thing that we lack here. :(

I think Geminii was telling me at Nexus part of his grand scheme to design a cosplay transforming Metroplex! All hope is not lost Goktimus!
