This years sales have been very lacklustre, more of a clearance sale for the movie stock. At least Target will have Animated Deluxes for sale.

And I'll need to rebuy MP04 too at the discounted price.

I hope that Universe Deluxes will sneak out onto the shelves in time.


Also, that Lego Batman Joker/Tumbler set had better start showing up soon.

I've seen that set in a Target here (Melbourne) a good couple of weeks back. Sadly though I'm not wow'd by the new Batman sets so I'll be giving them a miss.

Sadly the Target toy sale has nothing I want. K-Mart has the new Lego City Coast Guard sets, Big W has the new Lego Castle sets. Target on the other hand (according to their online catalogue) only has one new Lego set which is the 2006 massive Boeing which I'm not terribly interested in.

Its strikes me as odd, that I can zip down to Both Target and Kmart to buy an TF Animated DVD for about $17 and the cartoon hasn't even shown up on the TV yet.

Crazy? Or just me?

I'm going to buy the US DVDs tho, because the next Aussie one only contains 4 episodes (http://www.ezydvd.com.au/item.zml/801181) and not the full season!!! :mad:

Disappointed on the MP4 price. I was hoping for a 20% off discount instead of a 15% off one. I wonder if I can wait until Target has 20% off all toys. It was fine when the first Hasbro version of MP Prime was out but these days... I don't know.

Animated Deluxes are what I expected, 20% off their regular price.

I do have some MISB Movie Voyagers repaints which are now going back to Big W.

llamatron
10th July 2008, 06:09 PM
Oh wow, MP-04 is an epic dissapointment. Easy pass.

$20 Voyagers is impressive!

and $20 Animated Deluxes ain't bad. I hope they get wave 3 in before the sale is over, but I doubt it.

Yup.

But this is a Target catalogue. It'll make it harder to price-match voyagers unfortunately. To Punish and Enslave, if you can't, you should probably hold out for that Movie Evac Voyager.

But availability at K-Mart, TRU and Myer are terrible. We're at the tail-end now. Only Target still stock the movie line heathily and a few Toy Kingdoms. The others have gotten off the ship. If u need something, hold onto it and refund at a later date.

True true true. I might have to stoop to your level and grab an Offroad Ironhide, as that's seemingly the only wave around. :p (or NOT!)

Oh, if only Premium Blackout & Ironhide magically showed up.

TRU were a good place for Evac, and BigW. Both should price match to the Target catalogue for you to get it for $20.

JuzMel
11th July 2008, 10:30 AM
I reckon $179 for MP-04 is good enough for me, considering iceburn and I bought ours from RK for US$199 each not including postage yet, I wished we could refund ours and buy from Target, I'll be happy enough. And yeah $20 for voyagers and deluxes are good, thats IF they even have any voyagers on the shelves.

Whats wrong with the MP04 price. Just doing a quick search on the internet and most prices seem to be > $199.

iceburn
11th July 2008, 03:43 PM
just that most of us felt that it will be up to 20% sale price
from $199.99 to $159.99. it ended up with just 10% off, making it $179.99

all our hopes have gone down the drain. still a good price though and am most likely to keep my spare with the $20 returned.

Sorry mate, Australia only. I would stick with Target too :)

I bought my MP4 at $200 and really don't mind the $20 extra I paid to make sure I got one. I just hope there isn't a flood of them and they end up at $99 by this time next year...

Well you did the right thing. Today I went to Target at Broadway, Sydney to make a layby payment on my MP4. There were 10 of these there and now they're all gone.

I didn't want to chance it waiting for the Target sale to put one on layby and find come sale date, there are none left.

I've been around to different Targets in Sydney and this was the only store I found them.

:eek: Wowzers! I haven't visited Target Chermside for a week or so and MP Prime still hadn't been put on display then... There were a couple of others pre-sold :D but the store was getting 16 all up. It would be interesting to see if they have already been put out/sold out by now!

There must be a few anonymous TF collectors (or organised scalpers?) here that shop at the local outlet because a large stack of Optimus barrel-blasters disappeared in less than 6 hours of trade when their last catalog went on sale. That's bad news for fans who rely on junk mail for information!

Not very high, I'd wager. I think they've still got way too many Movie figures that they haven't been able to clear out unlike K-Mart and Myer who went aggressively to ditch their remaining movie toys in the past several months.

But I'm probably the most hopeful guy around, I've been checking my Targets twice a week ever since Pulse found those universe price tags.

Big W are selling Movie Voyagers at the moment for less than Target's sale price, only $19.42, if you don't want to wait until Thursday and you want to save about 50 cents. Sadly it's not an advertised price though, not even shelf tags.

20th July 2008, 09:32 PM
I'll have to see if the Target I usually go to has anything. Last time I checked, they were still stuffed with Movie toys, and that was AFTER the date when Animated was supposed to hit the big stores.

I've confirmed that too. Big W sent me a letter to notify me they were adjusting their prices on one my laybys to reflect that. very good customer service.

I'm also very impressed with K-Mart too. They sent me a card and summary of my Lego layby (tho i now think most of it will be refunded b/c I placed many similar items on layby in the Myers 40% off sale)

Anybody notice how it seems to suggest in the catalog that the $19.99 Voyagers are "half price"/"Save $20". This would seem to indicate that the full Voyager price is $39.99. Anybody scanner any there recently?

Paulbot
24th July 2008, 08:36 AM
Animated Bulkhead was $35/36 this morning but I'm not sure if that's a sale or regular price. The movie scout toys were not on sale, and it didn't look like the movie deluxes were either (but I didn't scan those).

Most people in the TF aisle seemed to be grabbing Movie Voyagers. Every person I saw with them had at least two and most were holding three.

Couldn't find anymore Ani Deluxes but 3 Blackarachnias, 2 Ratchets and 3 Lockdowns, but I got what I wanted. The Electronics section seemed to be popular.

Oh and the Transformers Movie DS games Autobot and Decepticon were both on sale for $25.

iceburn
24th July 2008, 09:33 AM
There wasn't a special aisle at the Target I went to, everything was displayed where it originally was.

Animated Voyagers are indeed selling at $36
Movie Deluxes are at $25 (i scanned it just to make sure) same goes for the Allspark Round Deluxes.
Not much Animated Deluxes but can still see Bumblebee, Lockdown, Ratchet, Blackarchnia, Optimus Prime and Prowl.

Yeah...agree on the Electronic section! A long queue lining up. Probably getting the Wii or new DS Lite. Oh, I've grabbed a spare Animated Ratchet and Blackarchnia for Paul but he doesn't need it anymore. If anyone wants either of them, please PM me...else it will be returned by tonight or tomorrow.

Went to the Target in Forest Hill and saw:

- 4-5 each of Movie Voyagers First Strike Prime, Offroad Ironhide and Evac and at $19.99 each it certainly pissed me that I bought those 3 from ebay at $30.95 each! Argghh!
- Quite a few Animated Deluxes too, at least 2-3 of each Prime, Prowl, Blackarachia, Ratchet, Bumbee, good place to go if you still lookin for it. No Animated voyagers though
- Also about 7-10 Ultimate Bumblebee, quite a few animated 2-pack prime+megs
- Movie deluxes like Jolt, Divebomb, Big Daddy etc, Leader, FAB, Scouts but all seem to be at RRP...

:D I was one of those hogging the electronics queue; got the Wii bundle, extra nunchak and controller and Wii carnival games to put on layby. The funny part was that I made up my mind since last night to get the PSP bundle, but for some funny reason when the sales girl came up and ask me what I wanted, my finger automatically pointed to the Wii bundle! :eek: :D

Yea, movies at my local seemed to be rrp too.

My local target just had:

Movie: Just the deluxes that noone wants. No voyagers. The only voyager I saw (evac), was in a display case in the shopping centre. :D

Animated: Everything BUT bumblebee. Scalpers must be trying for this one too.

Ultimate bumblebee was just sitting there. Noone wants it either. :D

JuzMel a similar thing happened at the Kmart sale to me and my girlfriend... The planned PS2 turned into a Wii, I can't wait to get it.

walked down the TF aisle and there was this guy (hope its NOT one of our forum guys). he was practically opening up the MP04 boxes and inspecting the QC of prime....

there was a total of 3 boxes left and he had already opened 2.
i had taken/moved the sealed one aside and left it further down the aisle.
in the end, he left those 2 opened boxes there and took the sealed one for himself

how unethical is that!

Yeah that is not cool at all, he's just damaging boxes, Ive noticed a few open ones the past few weeks what a loser.

The good thing about retail not mentioned is if your not happy with you toy, you can refund it. You can even ask at the service counter to inspect the replacement if they have one.

You can't do that if you buy mail order, my MP-04 is fine and the few others I’ve seen out of the box were fine too. I really haven't seen anything to make me believe we're getting some type of inferior MP-04.

walked down the TF aisle and there was this guy (hope its NOT one of our forum guys). he was practically opening up the MP04 boxes and inspecting the QC of prime....

there was a total of 3 boxes left and he had already opened 2.
i had taken/moved the sealed one aside and left it further down the aisle.
in the end, he left those 2 opened boxes there and took the sealed one for himself

how unethical is that!

I've gotta feeling that it was probably someone from this board (or a lurker)...

But something tells me they're too afraid to 'fess up... :rolleyes:

I would've had a word with that little turd. He makes collectors in general look bad.


On the issue of Animated Voyagers at Target, they're scanning in the price at $35 b/c I suspect the Target staff screwed up and mistaked it for the two-pack which is on sale at the same price. It's still not that great, you'll do better at K-Mart's 25% off sale.

The Target near me had 3 on the shelf. Two were open!!! How can thesepeople call themselves collectors? That person would have hated it if we were to open and check his MISB collection.

I picked up my layby'd SEALED copy and almost didn't honour the price difference of $20. The manager and cashier said unlikely. It was fine and all as I respect whatever rules they get given but the manager gave me attitude about it. Threatening me that if I refund it they cannot resell it to me. I said, well there's 3 on the shelf. Have your $2.50 layby charge and I'll just go back in and pick up one of the 3 available. She walked off. I went to the refund desk as the layby lady told me and absolutely no problems at all.

JuzMel a similar thing happened at the Kmart sale to me and my girlfriend... The planned PS2 turned into a Wii, I can't wait to get it.

I got most of the stuff I wanted at the Kmart sale so Target wasn't all that exciting for me for Transformers, however we did get some DS and Wii games today.
Haha, yeah somehow the Wii has a "pulling" effect on some of us! It still chalked up to $518.95 in total because of the extra controller, nunchak and carnival game. But the good thing about the layby that morning was because it was a busy sale morning, I didn't have to pay any deposit, the guy just took my details and stuck it into my pack of items and asked me to go back and make a deposit on it in 2 weeks time. Which means there's still time to check if there's a better deal elsewhere, but my boyfriend and I did check the EB Games and JB Hifi website and still the Target deal seems the best, so we'll prob stick with it.

As for MP-04s, I only saw ONE on the shelves when I was at the Forest Hill branch. And you know what? Just as I was leaving, I saw an old couple (prob around 70-80s) picking it up and walking away! :confused: I hope it's for their grandson or something.
