Animated two pack is about the only interesting thing there. drat.

[jaydisc]

Interestingly, the 2-pack only says "New", not "Save" like everything else. I think it might be similar to how TRU says "Hot Price" in other words, not the sale price. IMO.

Yup, been that way in the past too. Especially w/ the Cybertron Legends they somehow scarfed up last year. BigW is pulling TRU dodgies! :(

EDIT:

I should add that this thread was one of the determinative factors for me deciding to chase that custom Liokaiser. I don't expect much from the sales and I think Animated will only crawl in slowly.

And as I learnt w/ the movie line especially everything shows up at sale price at some point. All I have to learn is a bit of patience and self control.

Add motivation to that list and you have amassed the trinity of my dysfunction.

I saw that too - Bargain! :D

They also had the 6 original Madman G1 cartoon box sets (you know the silver, purple, darker pink, blue, green & grey ones) for $19.72 each. Pretty damn cheap considering what most of us paid for them 3 or 4 years ago... :rolleyes::(.

:eek::eek::eek: Big-W had these?!?! I still need to pick up one or two of them.

[Paulbot]

They are in the Big W toy catalogue for next week, the cheap price is probably the sale price too.

[Burn]

So neither Big W or K-Mart have Animated on sale (aside from the two-pack). Here's hoping for Target to come through. Not that it helps considering I only have Target Country here. :(

:eek::eek::eek: Those prices are AMAZING!

[griffin]

I've also updated the first posting with the items that have discounted prices, and those that should remain at that price after the toy sale.

[Pulse]

I wonder which store bought a boat-load of Movie/Allspark & SW TFs & now has to basically throw them at their customers so that they'll take them off their hands? ;)

[Borgeman]

*prays that bigWs get animated voyagers AND they get mispriced to the movie ones*

and yes, that is the only way i will buy them :D

Great Movie voyager price!!

Now to get a copy of BigW catalogue and head to Kmart to get a further 10% off that price.... yeah!! (Kmart has a lowest price guarantee and will beat 10% of other store offer).

[DigDug]

:eek::eek::eek: Those prices are AMAZING!

Not *just* THOSE prices Llama......

(yes, I am easily amazed :))

[STL]

Morning crash on BigWs anybody? Dibs on cheap Ironhides! :D

-------
$22.16 Difference
$2.22 10% of difference

$24.83 Kmart Price Matched Price
-$2.22 Kmart Extra 10%
-------
$22.61 Final Price

Let's just bring the Big W Catalog to Kmart ;)

Also, it probably pays to grab any Voyager you can at that price as you can use it later as fodder to refund BACK to Target, BigW or Myer (the 3 retailers that don't individually SKU) in exchange for the full price Voyager you want.

You've got to really stop reading my mind. I have another angle I'm contemplating too but I imagine great minds think alike.

[jaydisc]

It'll be tough to get one the day before. We need to make it a mission to visit some Big W's on Wednesday to grab the catalog. We could make some color prints from the online catalog, but i'm not sure Kmart would accept that.

[STL]

I've got that base covered. I'll be at Epping Wednesday and if I don't Icy should be able to grab one from the city or Borgeman the bum can grab one too from the BigW at Altona North.

[griffin]

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.
