Good luck in your searches. I have about 200 spares but it seems anything that is a multiple of 6 is super hard to come across and I have almost no doubles of those, certainly not the ones you are after mate.

You may want to ask the cashier at Woollies with a stern face. Apparently some staff members have been looking through the assortment and stealing the rarer ones for themselves :(

I think it's only actually being talked about this time because the marvel disks have been the most popular promotion so far, but fact is that it always happens and there are always "rare" items in these sets to make you spend more money then you should be for a bit of cardboard/plastic.
Also sorry no, I dont have those disks SB, my local store "ran out" of them a week ago so I've missed getting a bunch as well.

I don't collect these, but my mother had a few unopened ones lying around so I just checked what there was.
Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, Groot...and Thanos.
Am happy to send it your way, happier still to sort a trade...I don't suppose your local KMarts (does Canberra even have any KMarts?) have a spare Shuffler do they?:)
Same offer goes for anyone after any/all of the rest.

That's great Ode!:eek:
No idea what a shuffler is? But I can check.
And Yes we have Kmart....many.

Just to be clear, it's listed as #30, and is on a purple disc. That's what you're after, yeah?
I really don't know anything about these discs besides they're apparently really popular.
Shuffler (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WhwZtsn1RHY/maxresdefault.jpg) is one of the Wave 4 Titan Masters (http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Titans_Return_(toyline)#Titan_Masters), one of the little new headmaster dudes with a little elephant mech. I don't know if we're getting them in Oz or not...last I heard we were only getting a revision wave, and I'm not sure if the Titan Masters were part of it as well. People have been finding the full wave of Deluxes and Legends class figures so it's possible we're getting the whole set. All I really know re. Wave 4 is that we've only got Legends class Brawn and Roadburn around where I'm at, and that Tasmania sucks for TF distribution at the best of times.:(
If he does show up, KMart has the Titan Masters priced at $5, which seems like a reasonable trade to me.

If I remember to I'll check my doubles, I don't even have close to a full set. I feel that this promotion ran way too short. certainly not enough supply.

Check some local to you FB selling groups. They're full of these things for trading. How do people afford them though? Got to spend $20 on a shop to get one. There's like 42, so gotta spend $840 to get a set. That's what turned me off these.

They've showed up every now and then at a few of the mainland KMarts, but Tassie is always really far behind the mainland and misses out on even more stock TF-wise so I'm not holding my breath for any here. Keep an eye out and if one shows up then keep us in mind, or else maybe you'll have something I'm after in a sales thread sometime or whatever.
Either way, PM me your postal address and I'll send it off your way next time I'm near a post office.:)

The Woolies near me still has them, and have spares at the front desk for swapping (I was able to get Hulk for a friend today), so ask your nearby stores if they have trading spares too.
And maybe take a kid with you, to make it look more likely that it is to keep and not go straight to ebay (if asking for a rare one).

Whenever I've gone, they always give me a handful. Sometimes I haven't even spent $20 and I still get them. My nephew plays with them so I just ask if I can have a couple for him.

My local Woolworths ran out of discs... rage. I started collecting quite late as I usually go to coles, so if you guys have spares willing to give away I can come collect it Sydney/Paramatta area.
Facebook got a marvel swap page where lot of people offer swap if you are interested, but not much of the rares.
There is a hack to get all the disc if you have a Marvel disc folder to spare. Rip the folder, cut the pic from the folder and stick to a similar colour disc. Its the same print, same size and if you cut it nice enough, cant tell the different between real and fake disc.

No worries - I suppose even Tassie has to get lucky on toys/collectibles sometime. Glad to be able to help.:)

Get your disc from woolworths now, quick before it runs out.

wow, thanks for the heads up. looks like most of them are already out of stock. At least I can get 10 more just to have more play/build options for the kiddies once they are old enough.

Thanks tron07, I've passed the link onto people I know that were missing some.
I think that it was only ever the "rare" ones by the looks of things, pity or I might have tried to get myself a complete set :p
Edit: all the rest are available now it seems, so if you're missing any go get them
