The TRU website now says the discounts are 30% to 50% off. That means action figures will be 30% off.

I hope the 50% off part applies to Studio Grimlock.;)

Are there a lot of SS Blackouts floating around TRUs?

I have seen a couple at both Doncaster and Knox.

Some photos from the Garden City store tonight...
The 30% discount signs were now up, as of today.

And recycling of the 20% signs, with updated discount prices...

All of the non-toy items are also for sale, but not until they are near the end, when almost all of the stock is gone.

Their sign writing skills need a little help though...

The Doncaster TRU had them on the shelf, the Knox store had them behind the registers. Maybe Miranda has them somewhere else.

Is anyone else considering a fixtures purchase (outside of the big Prime statue others have mentioned). An actual toy rack to store your MOSC/MISB figure on?

I cant tell if their prices are worth it, considering fixtures at most stores would be old and well used. I like the idea of having it look like you have an actual part of the store, with sealed items, especially if you have original 80s toys.
I was thinking of buying one of their blue baskets with the TRU logo on the side as a souvenir, and because it can also be useful.

I like the idea of a fixture for nostalgias sake, but I don't' actually know what I could get that wouldn't get in the way.

With 9 days to go, I don't see Barricade and Thundercracker hitting Perth, so if any WA members are after them, I'd suggest they see if an east coast boardie can help them out.

Found a Titans Return Skyshadow. Couldn't help but grab him with the 30% off. Glad to have him in the collection now.

Someone literally beat me to the TF5 advertising banner. I ended up with a smaller TF5 advertising board (90cm × 45cm). FREE. :)

Had a chat to a store staff at TRU Werribee. Apparently the Movie Prime statue belongs to Hasbro so will be eventually returned. So won't be part of the store fixture & fittings sale.

Which seems odd, because the one at Rutherford literally has a For Sale attached to it. I can snap a pic of it, and you can contest it with them if you want.

Got this beauty from Castle Hill Toys'R'Us today. Had to pay for it but figure well worth it for an officially licensed piece of Toys'R'Us/Hasbro/Transformers/Optimus history. They apparently had a cardboard cutout of Optimus too which was already sold when I got there - did anyone here get it?
There were also a few Barricades and Thundercrackers left for anyone still needing them.

Thats awesome Bladestorm!!!!
Went by Highpoint TRU in Victoria yesterday. At least 5 Thundercrackers & about 10 MP Barricades that I saw if anyone is interested.

(Some douche obviously thought 30% off was not enough. A member here pointed out an empty Star Wars Black Series Kylo Ren box.)

Was there a price tag?
TRU Werribee:
- Bumblebee cardboard cutout $75
- Sqweeks cardboard cutout $50
:rolleyes:

Must be one of the reasons why they still keep a security guard hanging around, some of the time.
Howdy once again ;)

Nice acquisition! I'm eyeing the Marvel one for my nephew.

Decided to pickup SS Leader Blackout and SS Voyager Thundercracker this weekend at 30% off. I don't know if I'll keep Blackout... as I think I'd rather get the OS KO coming out... but it was an impulse buy.
Shelves are getting pretty sparse.
I did see Hotspot and Cindersaur at Kmart Chadstone this weekend, which was a nice surprise.

Yeah I asked about that the other day $2200 I think they said. Sword and hand broken off but easy fix.
I picked up a TRU basket for $8

TrU at Marsden Park we’re selling them for $7.... odd that they are all different prices.

They will add GST to the price of any shop fittings etc. So it came to about $8

Mine was $7 flat. Guess the poor register girl didn’t add GST?
Marsden Park was also selling their 1.3m tall roaring t-Rex for $7000.:eek:
Only shop fitting not for sale was the Thomas the tank engine face endcap.

Your lucky you got out of GST. The roaring dino drives me insain with the noise. Would not pay $7000 to bring that joy home :)

For real? I know TRU is trying to recoup some $$ but c'mon, that's insane in the membrane. Not even worth that new, let alone every man, woman, child, porn star has had a turn rubbing up against Movie Prime. Don't tell me you peeps didn't do that.
