POTP wave 2 deluxes at K-Mart Frankston. Didn’t see Moonracer, but they have one each of Sludge and Snarl, and a few Rippersnappers. $35 each, but you could try your luck at price matching Big W.

In Melbourne CBD around lunchtime, Big W still has only TR Cosmos and Seaspray, and nothing else TR or POTP related. Target has a few POTP Jazz and Dreadwind but nothing else TR or POTP. It has some RID items too. Myer still has lots of POTP Hungrr and Elita-1, and some later wave TR Titanmasters.

Lucky I checked highpoint anyway, HEAPS of ss thundercrackers and a few mpm barricades at highpoint tru, and 2 dragonstorms and megatron tlks at Toyworld along with cyberverse figures with the warrior looking ones at a cheaper price of $32 than of werribee Plaza

Note one of the dragonstorms are hidden behind the knockoff transformers to the left of the tlk leaders ;)

When people check tru's I strongly suggest taking a good look around incase they're stashed in odd spots as I saw a report in another state saying they were near the counters, all this time I was just checking out the TF aisle at werribee plaza ><

Let us know if any other tru's (highpoint, chadstone etc) have any thundercrackers or mpm barricades, especially the thundercrackers would love just one lol

Nothing new from me just a PSA

plenty of studio series thundercracker at chadstone TRU this morning.

KMART had a POTP deluxe rippersnapper, is that in the 2nd wave? didn't see snarl or sludge though.

Dropped into Toys'r'us Highpoint today. The most interesting thing I saw was 2x Trypticons (Titans Return), each going for $159.99 (after discount).

I would have gotten one myself, but I've got no room in my home for another Titan class figure.

Chadstone TRU had about 25 Thundercrackers, maybe one or two more, and about as many Starscreams. HEaps of TLK Voyager Hound too and several each of the Dreads from TLK and Studio Series. Only POTP toys they had were 4 Dreadwinds. They had two TF posters too - that G1 version (with the all yellow Bumblebee) and a TLK one.

The Toyworld had the wave 1 Cyberverse toys spotted elsewhere. $42 Warriors (Bumblebee, Optimus and Starscream) and $15 Legion size (Starscream, Megatron, Bumblebee), $22 One-Steps (Bumblebee, Soundwave and Blurr). They also had a bunch of Dragonstorms (as spotted at other stores) but at full price of $95.

Didn't get to the other stores.

Paulbot

There might be one only at each store (if that) so it's really a test your luck thing. The TK Maxx stores don't really have much stock of anything in any toy lines.

Damn it I tried the wrong TRUs, was going to see if I could find MP Barricade this weekend but went to the wrong suburbs.

Unless you're looking for a TLK Beserker or Hound there's not much left on the Transformer shelves at the TRU stores over the weekend (please don't work out how many KMs I did!)

Frankston's store still had some POTP wave 1 stuff.
Knox's store had no Transformers left, store almost emptied
Chadstone had the Hounds and Beserkers and some Studio Starscreams
Waurn Ponds had a couple of the TLK toys (30% off action figures)
Werribee had a few dregs on the shelf, store almost emptied

Went to the Moorabin store last week, same sorts of things left there. From my visits to that store I never saw the exclusive Barricades or Thundercrackers there and definitely none at the shops above.

Looking at some of the other toylines, often the same sorts of things still on the shelf - heaps of Vulture toys from Spider-man Homecoming for instance, nobody buying the Marvel Legends Songbird (she's a great character but obscure to non-comic books fans). Quite a lot of TLJ Star Wars stuff in most stores too.

Saw Dragonstorm ($40) and Skyshadow at Toy Kingdom along with Cyberverse toys (ultra, warrior, 1 step, legion). No TLK deluxes though.

Saw some shelf tags for Cyberverse (legion, 1step, warrior) at Kmart but no price on them

And cross posted:

I’ve been to three TRU stores in the last 24 hours (Doncaster, Moorabin and Fountain Gate) and each is really down to the dregs of content. Lego sets are gone. Most Transformers have gone - but I’ve seen multiple Titan Master Brawn. The only toyline with a fair bit of stock in all stores has been Star Wars.

Most Transformers have gone - but I’ve seen multiple Titan Master Brawn. The only toyline with a fair bit of stock in all stores has been Star Wars.
Probably out of your way but target Werribee has tailgate

I asked them if I could price match it with Big W when Big W had their Toy Mania sale and they allowed it. So I got him for $24. No signs of Snarl or Sludge when I picked up Blackwing in case you were wondering, I think someone got to them first.

In Kmart they are the same price as the POTP deluxes, but $6 more than Studio Series. Definitely a price point that makes me pause.

It's weird. A couple weekends ago at Target (in Highpoint) I saw a headless Agent Venom and Vulture. Didn't think much of it at first. Just thought it might have been the doing of some crazy douchebag who thought it'd be funny (it's not, it's gonna be impossible for the store to sell the toy in that state). Last week at Big W I saw another decapitated Vulture.

To see more headless Spider-Man toys in that photo you took was a bit of a shock, especially since they're from stores at the opposite end of Melbourne where I shop. Made me wonder for a bit if the figures are just like that. But it doesn't make sense for Hasbro to intentionally sell headless figurines. People must be vandalizing them I think.

Would have to, but what about the staff seeing how the entire TRU staff have been ported over (not sure if previous manager was part of the carry over)

How different exactly?

The former TRU has a TLK one that now belongs to toyworld but the previous toyworld has that "recycled" one that was supposed to be for purchase but no one touched (namely because its made of literal junk, meant for people who liked recycled art), if the stores merger we could have both statues in the same building, such a big heavy thing would be a waste of cost to move.

Some TR deluxes (Krok, Quake and Twinferno) and the little rid guys at Big W CBD.

On the one day that I don't visit that store, they stock TFs. :confused:
Worst Big W ever in terms of TF stock. The one at Doncaster Westfield isn't far behind.

On the topic of Doncaster, Target had a at least 2x of POTP Outbacks and Cindersaurs and a Grimlock. Also some Studio Series deluxes, although i didn't check the specific figures.

Myer and Zing didn't have anything notable TFwise.

I've only visited Doncaster Westfield once. But you're not wrong about the CBD Big W. I heavily agree.

Thought I’d see what Myer Chadstone had. Only Grimlock in Studio series, wave 1 deluxes and wave 2 voyagers from POTP, still a bunch of crash combiners and Titan Masters (no Repugnus though) and one of the large (ultra?) Megatron from Cyberverse - for whom a 25% discount is good.

MY QUESTION:

Hi guys,

I was wondering why your Doncaster store never has any Transformers products and barely has any of the WWE products. These are the main ranges I look at for myself and my kids.

Other than the clearance Transformers figures recently, Doncaster would normally barely have one or two figures. Since the clearance stock has been sold they have had none for a couple of months.

With Toys R Us gone from Doncaster, the options are pretty thin so I would have thought you would want to try and fill the void a bit. I go to Eastland and Lilydale Big W when I can and they always have a much better range of toys than the Doncaster store.

There are also four K-Marts and three Targets I check regularly to try and find figures. K-Mart is miles ahead of Big W on Transformers and WWE and Target is a fair way ahead.

Is there any reason why Doncaster seems to never have stock? It isn't like they don't have room. There are whole shelves empty on multiple bays in multiple rows.

Thanks for your time and have a good day.

BIG W RESPONSE:

Hi there,

Thank you for contacting us at BIG W.

We do apologise for any disappointment and advise if you are interested in a particular item, to call ahead to the store to confirm availability before travelling in-store.


While every attempt is made in ensuring sufficient stock is allocated to our stores, we understand that sometimes popularity may exceed anticipated demand on goods. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this has caused you.

Please note we will pass on your feedback to the relevant team.

Kind regards

Nate

BIG W Customer Service Team

MY REPLY:

Hi Nate,

It is not a matter of inconvenience in travelling to the store. The inconvenience is the store never has any of the products.

I had a look yesterday and there are now 5 Transformers hanging on a hook in a mostly empty bay. I would argue though, that considering these figures were first seen in Australia in April this year and are at least a wave of figures behind the current release wave that it is not the popularity of the product that is the issue here. It is hardly surprising more people are buying things online from overseas when there is no guarantee that local retailers will even stock them.

I understand you have no control over any of this but hopefully one day someone who does may do something about it.

Thanks for your time and have a good weekend.

Why am I not surprised, considering there was talk of woolworths thinking about cutting off big w from their group at one point.

I'd just say there wasn't any deals that fit their price points and the best we got was the big w toy sale stuff and its all we're gonna get, frankly I'll be amazed if they ever get cyberverse stuff considering the price and lack of value for money

Anyways nothing to report for the western suburbs, saw some flip change transformers sets at reject shop werribee plaza but nothing else of note

I found some of the wave 2 Deluxes at Big W in Sunbury a few weeks back (they’re all gone now) so some Big Ws at least seem to be getting them. (in small numbers) But most big Ws seem to just be devoid of any transformers altogether.

-SDCC throne of the primes ($229-same as their store listing)
-Ironhide wave CW figures
-UW bruticus (can't remember but was close to $300?)
-Some old prime figures of vary cost and may have been a bit much

Another stall with the retro games also had some transformers stuff but I suspect the armada prime they had was a bootleg as the box mention something about a gumball machine, didn't bother with the price because the stall was over priced
