Saw the Ark at Greensy TW as well.

Target Greensy is packed to the rafters. They've got a massive front section on the 2nd floor and then a standard massive TF section in the normal toy section. Was very impressed.
Target the Pines had standard DOTM. nada special.

Target Waurn Ponds had Transformers Vault for $29 - score!
and both targets in Geelong had all non-dotm deluxes for $9.87 including reveal the shield. They also have legend class devastator for $9.87. And to add to the pleasure, Pcc 5 packs are $9.87. Some really awesome bargains and I'm assuming all targets have it.

Going to have to look for it in CBD today.

Northland last night had usual suspects. Good TF sections though I wonder how they'll move the old stuff.

Also, target failed to have new cards and I went ahead and bought something for the purpose of that. Peeved off.

The usual wave 1 DotM at all the other majors. Except for a few old figures:
- Target: WfC Bumblebees and Straxus wave
- Big W: RotF Brawn, Strike Mission Sideswipe $12
- Myer has some Animated Voyagers wave 1 and Shockwave & Skywarp. $60 ea OUCH!

Found the Vault book in the CBD Target today. Great production values and very much worth the $29 asking price.

Target had stacks of the Vault, and as the prior post, it is worth it. Couple of things I learnt, but damn I wish i never lost my japanese "Generations" Book. Still the best tf book ive ever had.. (I have have some good jap ones =) ).

What kind of gun is that in the middle there?

griffin
15th June 2011, 02:19 PM
Could be guns already released in the that TRU Scanning 4-pack.
Megatron is said to have purple on him as well, as if it were a homage to Motormaster. (but I haven't seen for sure yet)

Leadfoot has the Target logo... which is probably why these are Target Exclusives (seems that Target US and maybe here too have Leadfoot in 3 different sizes as an exclusive - Legion, Deluxe, Human Alliance)
That added deco though makes me happier to get these sets, as I was fearing that the Legion figures were just the same as their regular releases.

Price is a bit steep though - a $7 Legion with an $18 Commander (at Target's prices)... should be $25 or less.
Hope they are on sale soon, or before they sell out.

That is bizarre... those two were a Walmart exclusive WITH the Deluxe Optimus that BigW got here. So Hasbro AU had to separate them because one store didn't want all three, or maybe wanted to share out all the exclusives.

Still, a great job for them to get all these American store exclusives out here in some way. It's a tough job with our small market and huge REGULAR line of (Movie) toys.

Kmart have the Nascar like redeco's of Sidearm Sideswipe (blue with yellow and "04") and mv1 Bumblebee (yellow with black and large "08") for $15.75 each.

It has a "Movie Exclusive" sticker on it.

wow, that's a good price for Exclusives but note they are the old moulds... so i guess they are afraid nobody will buy. :D i havent bought any though

That is bizarre... those two were a Walmart exclusive WITH the Deluxe Optimus that BigW got here. So Hasbro AU had to separate them because one store didn't want all three, or maybe wanted to share out all the exclusives.

Still, a great job for them to get all these American store exclusives out here in some way. It's a tough job with our small market and huge REGULAR line of (Movie) toys.

While they are both Walmart exclusives, they are two different exclusives.

Bee ships 5 per case, Sideswipe ships 3 (or it might be 4/4)
While Prime ships 8 per case (a solid case)

So thats why they can be spilt in Australia.

Yeah, I thought that was weird. So I scanned other deluxes and they came up as the regular $23.xx. It's only these two exclusives that are priced as such for, I believe, the upcoming toy sale.

Yeah, I know they are in separate cases, but they've been paired up and released together as if they were all in the same case.

As for the price, it is another example of how Hasbro was ripping us off with keeping the regular sizes at the same price as last year...
As each one-off item is being priced based on the current exchange rate, its retail price gets cheaper and cheaper than the same-sized regular items that are still pegged at pricing set years ago when the exchange rate was US$0.50.
If Hasbro ever claims that they aren't taking advantage of the exchange rate, the prices of these one-off exclusive items are proof.

They also had a few Powerglides, A few Leader Ironhide, the Prime & Megatron commanders with bases and plenty of wave 2 Voyagers.

This wouldn't have been part of the toy sale, as this is the first sighting of it.

And they wouldn't have got a 'good deal', as these one-off items are being calculated into AU$ at the current exchange rate. It's the established size classes that are stuck at old US$0.50 exchange rate values, making these current one-off items look really good in comparison. When in fact it should be the reverse - the existing lines should be the same price as these one-off items if the wholesale prices were ever adjusted to reflect the exchange rate.

BTW, it's nice to see that one here. I was thinking that and the Bumblebee one wouldn't make it to Australia... and this is the one I don't have either. :D

Well then we're getting a good deal then. :)

Just saw in the First Sightings thread the note about Ratchet and Starscream. I spotted them at Target the other day (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=254918&postcount=1911) but didn't know they weren't already spotted.

Also saw a Mirage toy for the first time today. Speedstars but getting closer.

Here's some pics. I did happen to snap the worst of the two pack, but they had about 12 of them.

$49 at my local. The Starscream disappointed me. It's not fully metallic like Deep Space Starscream. Rather, a mush-mash of painted/non-painted bits.

Deluxes (but like most stores Wave 2 seems to be missing) and Voyagers...

Found 8 Warpaths at Kmart. As well as a few each of the rest of that wave. Kinda regretting the BBTS order now! :o

Not much knew at Doncaster last night. Couldn't find those bloody Topspins unfortunately.

Were Target deluxes supposed to be $20? Cos I saw them at $19 and figured it must've been in response to Big W.

Yeah freaking annoyed I couldn't find a Topspin as well yesterday at Target Forest Hill. Regretted not buying it first when I saw 2 of them a couple of weeks before the sale. Gonna try my luck at Fountain Gate tonight since it's a rare opportunity we have to drive up to Narre Warren. :p

And yeah I still paid $20 for the Deluxes from Target. Were they supposed to be $19 now?

-----------------------------------------

Anyway Target Forest Hill had the new wave of DOTM voyagers Starscream and ratchet yesterday. Also had Shockwave and Skyhammer, heaps of Jetwing Prime, Powerglide. No new waves at Target Chaddy.

Kmart Burwood East also had Generations Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack, Warpath etc if anyone's still looking for them. And the HA Sideswipe with Icepick.

I didn't see any topspins at Highpoint Target today, they did have Jolt. TRU have a lot of Ghost Starscreams on sale at about $150.

Target Brimbank had a couple of Jolts Wednesday night I can check later.

Chadstone TRU has about 10 MP Ghost Starscreams.

No Prime or Megatron Cyberverse sets though. Just BB and Starscream :(

Target is well stocked with most stuff (except wave 2 Deluxes) but won't pay an extra $8 for the sets. If I was meant to buy them TRU would have had them.

So far as I know. I found it in Parramatta, and told a few people as soon as I saw him. A few people have grabbed him form there I know. Could just be that they put them out early. You never know, you might find him when you get there on Saturday :)

I went to highpoint tru today about 2 o'clock. Still no mp hotrod.

Lots of movie stuff and heaps and heaps of battle ops bee. Ghost starscream was labeled at the regular price again but I didn't scan it.

I have a cold and wasn't up for looking much, I just woke up again.

It had been clearly opened & by the look of it quite carefully. The bottom was slipping off the main plastic case & it looked all complete but I was not going to take a chance.

If it was creased or crushed I probably would have grabbed it but I was suspicious. In retail nothing would shock me though.
