I noticed my local Big W were shelving Bumper Battlers and Roll Out Primes today. Although it didn't have prices. No signs of the Animated two packs though. Perhaps tomorrow.

Surprisingly not better prices. The last Kmart sale would have landed Bumber Battlers/Activators at $11.24 for a pair and the typically 20% off puts them at $11.99. I had bigger hopes for Big W.

Where my $24.88 Voyagers at yo!

Keen for Cliffjumper though!

Yeah Activators would have been cheaper at Kmart, had they priced them correctly. The only Kmart I know which still stocks Activators lost quite a few sales thanks to thier incompetence.

At least with Big W's sale they should actualy have the stock, maybe even priced correctly!

I'd be happy with $24.88 for some universe deluxes let alone voyagers.

Me too... although I have no idea where the nearest/easiest Big W is from here. I've looked on the Big W website and other than the Macquarie centre one in Ryde I've barely even heard of half the suburbs the stores are in. Could a Sydneysider please let me know which ones would be most accessible from the Eastern Suburbs? :confused:

I just realized how the mispriced Kmart Activators can now come to our benefit!

$26.99 - $11.74 x 10% = $1.53 making any mis-priced Activators at Kmart matched to $10.21!!

Maybe that'll speed up Kmart's fix ;)

Thanks Eazy D - I've now looked on a map and I should be able to get to Eastgardens! (Unfortunately there's not one at Bondi Junction - it's my usual stomping ground and great for everything but Big W.)

Yup I'll be scooting off to my nearest Big W tomorrow morning to check things out. Will be back to report after that. Really hope they have stock of the new Activators. I'm guessing the special 2-packs come in other characters as well. AT $29.84 for 2, that's like $15 bucks a deluxe figure (which should be the reasonable price for a deluxe figure anyway.)

Mel, the other two pack is Prowl vs (Cyb Mode) Megatron.

It's a way of reusing those deluxes that were sold in the DVD two-pack

If you find a Bluestreak at Miranda without any roof/door deformities, could you please get it for me?

They aren't on sale there though, and I haven't seen a Universe Deluxe at BIG W for months. Still I will proably have a look at the weekend so If I see one. Not sure what you consider deformities though, if its obvious I wonte get it but if its not....

Thanks. Deformities I mean a noticeable lump of paint on the roof or badly scratched door, etc.

My local Big W appears to have the stock in the shelves already. NO Bandit Lockdown or Cliffjumper Activators. There were about 5 each of the 2-packs and about 10 Rollout Primes. Ooh. Also the Bumper Battlers, including Sting Racer Bumblebee and Nightwatch OP.

Was preparing my morning hunt by trying to pick a shopping centre with Big W and Kmart, but there doesn't seem to be any. Is that by design?

Live in the South East of Melbourne like me and you can choose Fountain Gate (also has Target and Toy Kingdom), Southland (also has Target, Toyworld, Myer, and David Jones), or the smaller Parkmore, all of which have both Big W and Kmart.

Back to report! The usual Big W I frequent, F.H has the 2-Pack Blackarachia + Prime, Prowl + Megatron in stock about 3 sets each. Also lots of Bumper Battlers Bumbee, Ratchet, Prime and Jazz.

Activators at first, there were only Patrol Bumbee, Bumbee, Lockdown and Bulkhead on the shelves. I took Bulkhead and asked the guy to help me look at the back. He looked like the type to come back and tell you "there's no more at the back", but never judge a book by it's cover! :p

He brought a box of Wave 2 and 3 package together which consist of 2 Ratchets, 2 Thundercrackers, 2 Prime, 2 Lockdowns and 2 Patrol Bumbee! :D
And thus I also took 1 ratchet of course. :) No Cliffy and Bandit Lockdown though. :(

Picked up the lego police station as a present today.

They had the transformers out yesterday at the sale price, but wouldn't do the cop shop until today. :(

That said, I have no interest in the TFs that were on sale. If they had 50% off leader brawl though....... :)
