According to everyone full rrp is $150, but there was a 25% discount voucher on full priced item at the time of its released, which is why it sold like hot cakes ($112.50 via the discount)

None left on the shelf now

Was there about when you posted this, and nabbed the last 2 mp tc(one for a friend). So basically they sold at least 5 in a very short period of time. No wonder the girl at the register told me this thing is real popular.

Thx Krayt for the heads up!

No crackers, no OP today at Northland. I don't think things last long once they've been posted here so your best bet is to do your own legwork if you have the liberty to.

Sucks about Chaddy. Might check out highpoint. PLEASE BE THERE. I extremely want this as, since I was about 4, I watched reruns of G1 and I REALLYwanted a G1 Optimus so bad, no matter which one. I instead got Cybertron Optimus as it was the only one on shelf at the time. I have still always wanted a definitive Optimus Prime toy. This means a lot to me.

Edit: I asked the lady there, she said the Kre-Os were very popular, and they all just sold out! Interesting...

No because Chady is a baron wasteland. I mean they still only have wave 1 Prime. Ive only ever seen wave 1 and the US in on 4.

TRU had the for sale sign for MP Prime but nothing there. There were no signs that indicated MP TC. Since TRU is having a sale on TF's this week (even though the sale sucks, not much on the shelves) so if Chady TRU were to get MP TC it wouldn't be until the sale is over. And when they get it in the box's will be damaged and toy most likely broken as what happens with all other MP figures that TRU Chady gets.

Geeze man, you're always so paranoid about people beating you to toys you really want to buy or ask about an item on eBay and then pretty much threaten us if we decide to want to bid on them ourselves after posting about it on a public forum. No one is out to get you or single you out. You're not the only one who wants these toys. If people "ruin it for you", it's not done intentionally. And if you did pick one up, you would potentially be ruining it for someone else yourself. Just relax.

Sandown collectors fair on again today. I had very limited time there due to other commitments so didn't get prices on everything there. In short, more TFs there than the last couple of meets.

Highlights:
- Some loose G1s in fair condition, over $100
- boxed G1's, some of them encores and some not - based on prices, I'd suggest a few KO's among them. There was a loose in box G1 Hound ("Genuine Mexican release" I was told) for $175 - it was pristine, with unapplied labels and perfect chrome on the weapons. I would love one of these, but I don't know enough about KO's to be sure, so left it.
- 2 Masterpiece Megatron, two seperate sellers, both $285. Also MP Starscream ( coronation one I think), and a MP Skywarp.
- Reissue Seacons for $125
- Lots of movie stuff from a regular seller there, including a Buster Prime for well over $100, but I didn't get the exact price.

Wish I'd spent at least an hour more to get more details and have a proper look around, but alas...

Kmart Boronia has the latest legion class wave from TF Prime with a couple each of Flamewar, Wheeljack, Breakdown and Bumblebee as well as one each of Ironhide and Skyquake. Also had most of the deluxe FOC Bruticus figures.

Did they have Blast-Off by any chance? Might be making a trip there tomorrow.

Sorry Ae-Evolution, I wasn't paying that much attention, I just noted that there were 3 or 4 different bruticus robots. If it's a long way for you, try giving them a call first and asking them to hold it for you?

Yeah. I guess I can get quite a few off eBay for about $5 more shipped, but with some of the good ones, not so much luck. Guess I'm a little late to the party.

Saw TF:Prime voyager Starscream and Bulkhead at Kmart Chadstone tonight. Been a long time since I've seen those two in store.

Also, the Harvey Norman Big Buys store at the Springvale Ikea Centre had TF:Prime legends ($6 including Vehicon), Weaponisers ($60, Optimus only) and BotShot launchers (forget the price, seemed to be mostly Megatron) in addition to the DOTM Ultimate Optimus Prime.

Chadstone TRU has drastically shrunk the TF section. Target has several of Hot Shot, Knock Out and the black Bumblebee and one Vehicon (first time I've seen one in store).

Thats pretty good price for the Ghost Starscream. I picked mine up at the end of 2011 for $100 at TRU when it was $50 off.

Was just at Kmart Burwood (24 hr). They had around 5 Optimus Primes for $39.
1 Wheeljack, 1 Cliffjumper and a couple BB's for $25. Lots of the data disks for Soundwave/blaster and a few TF Prime 'Battle Kits' I think there called (the deception drill) on a reduced price, $25.

I remember they were in the$200+ range. Just got a couple from frankston for $60 each. The boxes looked very nice and fresh, not toys that have survived 2-3 years on a toy shelf.

The train station is really close to the shopping centre and Toys R Us in Frankston. So if you live in Melbourne and want a Ghost Starscream don't use distance as an excuse. You're doing yourself a disservice.

It is a problem if you can rarely make trips that long. It's still quite a wait. I'd like to get one but I don't want it SO bad to make me waste my family's time.:cool:

Went down to TRU Frankston this morning (Thanks for the tip Kalel :))- they had two MP Ghost Starscreams left on the clearance trays for $60 ($59.98) each. I picked them both up so one will be for me and the other for a Melbourne board member who wants it but was unable to get down to Frankston.

I've posted it for $60 in the Sales thread - all the regular rules will apply but I'm not offering postage as the cost would nullify the saving.

Anyone else find those older MP toys, or see those prices, as most of those haven't been in stock for some time.
And what is "Movie Masters"?

I've had a long talk with them and they have said that their shipments are not doing to well. Something about unreliable delivery guys. I still have a certain matter that I am waiting for them to give to me...:p;)

I assumed when then new member said "they had" perhaps they meant "they had in the past". The lack of proper capitalisation and punctuation in all the new member's posts suggests to me English is not their first language.

The Ghost Starscream was found at Frankston Toys R Us for $60 though over the weekend.

Or it's possible that Grimlock is the FOC Grimlock? And perhaps the person saw the Hasbro toys of Bumblebee and Starscream that were released as Masterpieces in Japan.

The Ghost Starscreams at Frankston TRU were in what they called the stock overflow trays in the middle of an aisle, not on a shelf near the rest of the (pitifully few) other TFs in their section. I have a feeling that these may have just been the last few at the TRU warehouse that have been thrown onto a pallette destined for a random TRU that wound up being Frankston.


Mp-10 was 140 but i convinced them target had him for 100.

That's some solid convincing! MP-10 was a TRU exclusive - its amazing that they believed Target could sell it!
