By Prime deluxe, do they mean PRid? Because I need some of those. :cool:

Have the stores been allocated any extra stock? If so, what waves have started to show up in the docks? Or is this a clearance sale to clear the shelves of existing, older stock?

I saw wave 4 of PRid which includes dead end, airachnid at runaway bay big w.

The Big W i work at got an entire pallet with this stuff on it, lots of boxes of them.

EDIT, anyone know which Mech-tech wave it is? I didn't see which wave it was.

I'd like to find a Wheeljack, Soundwave or Elite Bumblebee from PRid, hopefully.

Which waves of Prime? I missed quite a few, basically most of the cast.

I saw the cyberverse wheeljack and knock out wave just come in and the prime helmets

12th July 2013, 03:34 PM
Wave 4 of PRID and wave 5 of DOTM. Dam, no DOTM Wheeljack or Soundwave. :(

After the Reject Shop and now this, we're going to be swimming in DOTM wave 5 figures

Prices are scanning now. No need to wait if you're interested in any figures in store.

Has anyone seen any Vehicons? Now would be a good time to build an amry of them.

Should be plenty, there was plenty in Melbourne CBD, someone tell me if they see any Wheeljack's. Shouldn't there be one Wheeljack in each wave 4 and 3 box?

X 2 in Wave 1
X 1 in Wave 4 (revised case asst #3)
X 1 in Wave 6 ( revised case asst #2)

My local had the first run of Wave 4 with Knock out, dead end, soundwave, cliff, airachnid and shadow strike BB

As did mine, a whole tonne on the end of the isle.

makes me almost regret importing so many of them. but how were we to know that there was going to be a dump of them like this. I picked up a second knowkcout so I have a backup for when I eventually decide to add paint to the current one in case I completely botch it.

and a movie Thunder cracker to make into a sky warp one of these days.

Good, need another Ratchet or two.

Funny how these things seem to happen. I'll laugh when the Mechtech stock still doesn't sell.

$10 for a deluxe is what they should be about everyday, to be competitive!

Demonac
12th July 2013, 07:50 PM
They really overproduced those DotM toys.
I remember buying Thundercracker over 2 years ago.

Do you think we could get some price matching?

Picked up a vehicon and arcee from the cbd. No sign of wheel jack though.

Bidoofdude
12th July 2013, 09:18 PM
Is it possible for someone to set aside any of the following in the CBD if they find them? :o
Wheeljack
Soundwave
Arcee
Ratchet
Bumblebee redeco


I would like to get some of these if possible.:D

12th July 2013, 09:47 PM
hmmm $10 for an Airachnid. That I could justify. :p

Perceptor
12th July 2013, 10:10 PM
That's what I did! And actually airachnid isn't that bad, felt like the cyberverse version to me!

Raptormesh
12th July 2013, 10:14 PM
CBD only has Arcee, Rachet, Vehicon, Bee, Hotshot and KnockOut and loads of them. Any other sightings for Wheeljack and Airachnid within the city?

Cool. I might go in and get a Ratchet, Arcee, Bee and a couple Vehicons too. :cool:

Also, anyone seen any Soundwaves?

I'm going to Highpoint tomorrow, so I'll check Highpoint, if there are multiple, I can help you get them if you want. I need the same figures you need.

Could you put aside a Soundwave if you find one, as well as a second Wheeljack? Thanks. :D

Makes you wonder what the profit margin is like normally if Big W and Hasbro can both make a profit of the figures at $10 a pop.

It's another one of those things that I wonder couldn't be handled better if Hasbro US knew how badly Hasbro Aus reps did by overselling wave one to the detriment of later stock. It's bad for everyone, the companies, the brand, reputation, kids and collectors. Griffin mentioned that Hasbro US head office (rightfully so) has no idea what's going on outside the States, would it be better handled if they had more contact with regional headquarters?

Top Ryde had soundwave, knockout, deadend, shadow strike bumblebee and arachnid. Only one of each and the deadend card was bent. They now only have ss bumblebee and deadend.

13th July 2013, 04:38 PM
They also had mech stuff..

I intend to find out tomorrow, with regards to the Dapto store at least :p, but given the TF section has been reduced to the bare minimum I'm not getting my hopes up. :o

Paulbot
13th July 2013, 06:57 PM
Checked out the Parkmore Big W today but none in yet. Airachnid and some more Vehicons for $10 each is tempting. And I'd like to get a better idea of which DOTM toys are in the shelves too.

Raptormesh
13th July 2013, 09:18 PM
I saw Thundercracker, Jolt, laserbeak and a type of Bee in the CBD in terms of DOTM deluxes.

Bidoofdude
13th July 2013, 10:11 PM
Are the ones in the Melbourne CBD in the regular toy section?

Raptormesh
13th July 2013, 10:18 PM
Yup, though I did not check the other areas.

I can confirm that Big W Dapto has received its stock of $10 Deluxe Class & $15 Vehicle/Playset figures of 'Transformers: Prime' & 'Dark of The Moon':

Might as well post it here, if anyone finds a Wheeljack (Priority uno) , hook me up, if you also find a Soundwave, hook me up with both.

So this assortment seems to be

- airachnid
- Knockout
- Deadend
- Soundwave
- Cliffjumper
- shadow strike bumblebee

I picked up Shadow Strike Bumblebee, but was hoping for a third Vehicon and a second Ratchet. :(

Is anyone able to get me a ratchet, wheeljack and vehicon? as there are no big w close to me.

UltraMarginal
15th July 2013, 11:30 AM
it seems to me that the assortments containing vehicons, ratchets and Wheeljacks were primarily distributed to Victoria, and the assortments containing soundwave to NSW.

Time to get interstate swap meets happening:D

I have two extra Soundwaves I want to swap for two of the VIC exclusives (vehicons, ratchets and Wheeljacks )

PM if you want to swap.
