QLD Transformers Sightings.

[Jellico]

Kidstuff Garden City has the Siege Wave 2 Voyagers and Deluxes. $55 and $40. Looks like 2 of each.

That's unexpected.... I've checked out that store a couple of times over the years and never appeared to have Transformers. Not surprised by the prices though, as they would be getting their stock through a wholesaler, which means double the markup.



Target at Garden City looks to have had Siege w2 Deluxe out yesterday as well, as they only had Voyagers and Micromasters the day before.

[Jellico]

Yeah. I dropped in at the Carindale one about three weeks back as an act of desperation in the drought. I found the Wave 2 little guys. Stupidly priced but they price matched to your proposed list from the majors. So I have kept half an eye on them since.

Judging by what us left on the shelves they had some wave 2 PotP and early Studio Series.

Not a first point of call at those prices but with a look and can be talked down.

[Deonasis]

Nothing SIEGE related and bigger than Ravage in Brisbane city: Mr Toys, Myer, Target and Big W.


Toombul Target has SIEGE wave 2 voyagers, the Kmart there has no SIEGE.

[reillyd]

Robina Target has full Siege, Toymate only has 1x Hound and Flywheels Deluxe from Wave 1. Get it while you can!

[miles_prower]

Coles Mt Gravatt Plaza has a few deluxe Premiere Edition TLK figures for $12, they're at the end of aisle 9.

[MV75]

Coles Mt Gravatt Plaza has a few deluxe Premiere Edition TLK figures for $12, they're at the end of aisle 9.

Just remembered from seeing them last Thursday, looks like coles is back into the toys again. Had some of these larger tf's and a bunch of lego movie lego. All on an end cap, not where the regular very shrunk down toy space is at.

[Silverbolt]

3 x siege starscream and 1 sounwave at Ipswich K Mart. Quite a few siege battle masters at Ipswich big W. Nothing much anywhere else except bumblebee movie toys, studio and cyberverse.

[Bowser The Second]

Spotted wave 2 Siege deluxe at Kmart Helensvale. Picked up the last Chromia and Sixgun.

[kwanzaabot]

So I guess the big retailers are pretty much skipping wave 1, then?

Kmart Toowong has the siege wave 2 deluxe and voyagers.

That was fast... It was only 6 weeks ago that the single packs were first found at Kmart stores. They must have already burned through their shipment of first wave single packs, and are now sending out to stores their second wave shipment.

[miles_prower]

Just checked Mr Toys Macgregor, still no siege figures, but they did have some Last Knight and Power of the Primes. But, they also had Golden Lagoon 3 pack and Golden Lagoon Starscream, they were in packaging and we still coming out for the shelf, not sure if Golden Lagoon MP10 was there. Also they had MP 34S Shadow Panther, still in packaging but if you're looking to pick up a figure, didn't get price sorry.

[Major_K]

Right now, I'm looking at Rise of the Combiner boosters at kmart Caloundra. $7.

[griffin]

Considering Kmart had the starter packs on clearance really quickly, and are still shelf-warming, I wasn't expecting to see any more of the TCG there (or at BigW).

:eek:


You realise that April 1st was ten days ago... :p

That is really unexpected. They finally found a home for Shadow Panther, and we are getting some of the Golden Lagoon toys.

I went in today, and sure enough... there they were. (just not where they usually keep the more collectable items though)


Golden Lagoon 3-pack - $129 (a great price, as it would have cost about AU$115 in Japan when it was released, BEFORE shipping)
Golden Lagoon Starscream - $80 (not a great price, as it was originally about AU$55 on release... but might be a lot more on the secondary market by now)
(although, buying both together offsets one bad price with one great one)
Shadow Panther - $129 (it might be $19 more than what TRU were pre-selling theirs for before they went bust, but it would still be cheaper than importing one, as it was originally about AU$115 in Japan)



They still had about six of the 3-pack and about 10 of Starscream, and more Shadow Panthers than I could count, so they will probably be there for a while.
NOTE - these are NOT behind the front counter where they usually keep the rarer collectables... they are in the first aisle with the Model Kits.

- wave 2 Ultimate Cyberverse Bumblebee - $60

- POTP Predaking has been moved to the regular Transformers section now, from behind the front counter.
- big restock of the TF5 TLK Deluxe wave 4 (with Cogman, Crosshairs, Strafe, Bbee and Barricade), for the "regular" $25.

Hate to bother but how would people in other states get these, they aren't listed on my toys website?

Be cheaper and easier than importing from mandarake and the like perhaps :S

I'm hoping that they do list them on their site for purchase, otherwise a few of us in Brisbane will be getting lots of requests from other fans... or see these cleaned out quickly by toy scalpers.

[Sinnertwin]

You could always try their contact us section on their website and see if they'll process one for you.

[hYpNoS]

I'll refrain from bugging others, though direct contact seems to be the way to ask, thanks y'all

From last weekend...


Kmart Sunnybank - the newer Cyberverse 1-step and Warriors, and Rescue Bots. Still no Siege toys (as of last weekend), and almost no Studio Series toys.



http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km22.jpg


Target Springwood - the newest Cyberverse 1-step, Ultra (Optimus), and a full set of Studion Series w5 Delux, along with Siege Micromasters with one Deluxe (last weekend).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg12.jpg


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg13.jpg


Kmart Garden City - Siege Voyager and Battlemasters, along with the newest Rescue Bots (including Hotshot boat and the minor redeco Bumblebee car). Plus, Studio Series Deluxe w5 and the newest Cyberverse 1-steps (Wheeljack & Hotrod).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km23.jpg


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km24.jpg


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km25.jpg


Target Carindale - Siege Deluxe and Voyager for the sale, as well as the Micromasters. Plus, the newest Cyberverse Warriors (with Prowl), Ultra (Optimus), and Ultimate (Bumblebee).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg14.jpg

BigW Carindale - Finally found the Cyberverse Ultra Slipstream (it was supposed to be released with Optimus, but I think there must have been a revision wave that doesn't have Slipstream, as Optimus would normally be the character that goes first). They also had the newish Rescue Bots Mega Mighties, as well as Cyberverse Warriors and 1-steps. I also found one copy left of the Bumblebee movie on DVD (BigW's exclusive version), taking up number one spot already on their top-ten shelf. Also, still plenty of Ooshies still in stock (single packs and 7-packs).

Myer Carindale - Had the new Cyberverse Ultimate Bumblebee (alongside wave 1 Optimus and Megatron), Ultra (again, only Optimus) and 1-steps, plus a heap of POTP Deluxe and Voyagers, that were some of the harder ones to find last year. And Ooshies in a different part of the toy section.

That's interesting... I'll have to look out for it, and see if it is worth $11. The Optimus toy looks official... but I'll have to see who produced it on the back of the card. It will be very newsworthy if it was produced by Hasbro as an official Rescue Bots toy.

It doesn't look like it is promoting the Rescue Bots Academy (this year's series), so it is weird that it is of the old "Rescue Bots" series.

[Jellico]

Mystery solved.

Logan Hyperdome Toy World has had the Siege Wave 1 Voyagers listed as "Low Stock". The only one in QLD.

So I wandered down to have a look. Turns out they have entered it incorrectly. Don't know why they can't change it.

[Ravagecat]

I went in today, and sure enough... there they were. (just not where they usually keep the more collectable items though)


Golden Lagoon 3-pack - $129 (a great price, as it would have cost about AU$115 in Japan when it was released, BEFORE shipping)

Thanks for the info guys, picked up Shadow Panther yesterday arvo which as of 5:30pm then, they still had at least a dozen of as well as at least a dozen GL Starscreams but only three of the GL three packs. :cool:

Funny story...was having a chat to the the man working at the store about how the Shadow Panthers were originally TRU exclusives. He said he didn't know this and he also assumed the Shadow Panther and GL sets were model kits because they had been instructed by head office to put them with the Gundam models...:confused::D

[lfpnrg]

Purchased Series 2 BotBots 5-Packs and Singles from BIG W in Toowoomba yesterday. They were included in the current 20% off sale, so the singles were $4 each (usually $5) and the 5-Packs were $12 each (usually $15).

[griffin]

Saturday at Robina.


Target - a lot emptier than my last visit, but about right for Target stores lately. Nothing unusual to report.



http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg15.jpg


BigW - 20% off had the Series 2 Botbots singles and 5-packs (I bought most of them though). Also in the AV section, I found the second volume DVD of the Cyberverse cartoon, a Sqweeks bluetooth speaker, and the second series of TCG (Rise of the Combiners). Also found some really old copies of the Beast Hunters DVD boxset that came with a mystery toy, from 2012.

Toymate - always a pleasure going into Toymate.... heaps of Transformers, but quite a few older Movie toys, so hopefully they don't start getting clogged with those and cut back on the newer lines.
They had the second series Botbots (green bubble) 5 and 8 packs (I bought some of the 8 packs), as well as the first series (red bubble) single packs near the registers.
Looks like all of their wave one Siege toys are now gone, as I think I only saw wave 2 toys there now (I didn't dig though, as I wasn't looking to buy any).
And it looks like Toymate, like Coles and Toyworld, were given some cheap TF5 Movie Deluxes, as they had the Cogman wave there for $20 each.

Kmart - also had series 2 Botbots (singles and 8-packs). I bought one of the single packs, as it was the last one of series 2 that I was missing (I managed to get the entire set of 60 figures on this one day, between BigW, Toymate and Kmart, thanks to the recommended listing on TFWiki, that only left me with 14 duplicates).


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km26.jpg


http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km27.jpg


JB Hifi - had the 2nd volume of the Cyberverse cartoon DVD, and four different versions of the Bumblebee Movie - regular DVD, regular Bluray, 4K & Bluray with comic, and 4K & Bluray with comic in steelcase.

Big W Stocklands Burleigh Heads

About 6x Botbot Series 2 5 packs.
A box of Series 2 single packs with about 4 missing.

[Jellico]

Rockaway Records. Carindale.

Someone has sold off a chunk of their collection.
A mix of Prime, Movie, and a little Combiner Wars. Most still in box. Expensive. Approximately $60 for a Deluxe. But could be worth a look.

[reillyd]

This might be really old news, but I was surprised to find a half full box of Series 2 Tiny Turbo Changers in Woolworths Harbor Town on the GC. We'd been clogged wtb Wave 1s and Toymate got in Wave 3, but I had thought we completely missed the second wave. I only wanted the Shockwave (A) and Starscream (J) but unfortunely only picked up a shockers,

Also picked up a few booster packs of TCG from Big W, but it seems only the first wave had the discount and not rise of combiner packs.

[griffin]

The second wave Tiny Changers started showing up at Coles in November (I tweeted it, posted it on our facebook page, and in the first sightings topic, plus added it to the sightings box at the top of the messageboard).

[reillyd]

Well looks like I'm going to have to do some hunting then to try and find those last series 2s! I'll add Coles to the list now as well.

[griffin]

The Coles near me still has a small number for me to check out, if you are having trouble finding one or two.

Posted on facebook by Tyson Richards (https://www.facebook.com/ozformers/posts/2431640896874614) - found at a Target somewhere in Brisbane, the last two Energon Igniter toys to be released in Australia - Power Plus Soundwave and Ironhide.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2019/050102.jpg

I don't think I've seen either of those toys in any of the toy fair reveals etc. I guess I pay less attention to these gimmick lines than I thought.

[griffin]

I’m here! Come on down!

My piccies from the day...

I got there at 9.30am (it was supposed to open at 9am, but the line was still long and there wasn't too many people inside, so they must have been late to open).

And parking was the usual nightmare... even though it is in the middle of an industrial area, and a maze to find, the street spots fill up fast. (being sunday morning, it should be safe to park in the business parking lots, but you just never know if they have security patrols that will call in a towtruck)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f468.jpg

I guess since it is so hidden away, it isn't likely to attract any passing traffic, so the signage out the front doesn't need to be anything obvious (those little red signs on the grass)...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f448.jpg

At the back of the queue when I arrived, the boy in orange was holding a POTP Leader Optimus toy. I guess if he brings a toy with him, he doesn't bug his parents to buy him one while they are in there. :p
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f449.jpg

It certainly gives it a strange, claustrophobic feel to the place, with the nets up, surrounding a very small area (one basketball court)...

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f450.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f451.jpg

This event is on twice a year in Brisbane, and I missed the last one, but the numbers seemed to be about the same. The dealer numbers were apparently reduced by the organiser, in order to make more room for the shoppers, but the extra space ended up being behind the tables, because the aisles were just as cramped as they were last time. (what complete morons - boasting about having extra room this time, and then giving it to the dealers who didn't use it or want it)
The empty space...

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f463.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f457.jpg

I thought that this MP Prowl box must have been a KO or promo display, but looking online, the US release of the Anime/cartoon version Prowl comes in a new box (which is rather boring).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f458.jpg

And a rarity... in Australia at least, as I've only seen one before (which was at Lobos in Melbourne) - the Eternia playset from MOTU. It was released during the mid 80s when all the big action figure toylines were trying to outdo each other with the biggest toy (Fort Max for Transformers, Flagg aircraft carrier for GIJoe, and Eternia playset for MOTU). This one came with a LOT of accessories, which get lost or broken really easily, and this incomplete one had a price tag of $1000 at the fair yesterday.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f459.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/f460.jpg

[Jellico]

I was wondering what that set was. It didn't really match the dark aesthetic of the other MotU sets.
I have to say I was really pleased when my 5yo daughter identified Castle Greyskull next to it. The new She-Ra cartoon is good for something :)

I picked up a Siege Sideswipe for $40 which was acceptable. There was another table there with the Wave 1 Voyagers and Deluxes for $70 and $50 respectively. I don't need another Megs and Optimus that much.

[optimall]

My piccies from the day...

I got there at 9.30am (it was supposed to open at 9am, but the line was still long and there wasn't too many people inside, so they must have been late to open).




Please tell me you got cards from those sellers? I see so many things I want to get from those pics.
omega prime definitely being one of them.
any help contacting those sellers would be greatly appreciated.
PS : I have checked out Jaydisc and have a list of figs I want to get come pay day. would still appreciate help with other 2 sellers.

[jaydisc]

I thought that this MP Prowl box must have been a KO or promo display, but looking online, the US release of the Anime/cartoon version Prowl comes in a new box (which is rather boring).

That's actually just a thin, outer box, presumably for extra protection. There is a proper Masterpiece box inside it.

Yesterday at Garden City... it looks like all of the major retailers got their Siege w6 Deluxes this week, as Target, Kmart and BigW all had them. They all also had Botbots series 2. Nothing much else though.

Target - also had the new (last) wave of Energon Igniters Power Plus (Ironhide & Soundwave).

Over the weekend, Target Chermside had none of the Studio Series Voyagers left; Myer Chermside had only Wave 1 Siege Leaders and Myer Carindale also only had Wave 1 Siege Leaders.

[Jellico]

Yeah. Dropped in at Garden City and was going to mention the SS Voyagers. See if they can price match Kmarts $45 for SS Voyagers.

Nothing new at Kmart. Myer has moved theirs onto a different shelf.

Mr Toys (Kessels Rd) still has the Golden Lagoon sets and that Beast Wars panther. I struggle to understand their stocking policies as they have dug up a bunch of Trypticons from somewhere and are advertising them as "New". $300.

[griffin]

From the last week, which includes some of what others have posted above.

Myer Garden City - Tuesday 18th - the start of their sale, but mostly just old Bumblebee Movie toys.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019m08.jpg

BigW Kuraby - Friday 21st - Most of the sale items were there (I bought the Ark Armor Optimus), and saw the 3rd wave of Cyberverse Scouts (Ratchet & Shadowstriker).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw38.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw39.jpg

BigW Garden City - Sunday 23rd - saw the remote control VW Bumblebee by Dickie toys, but wasn't too impressed with how it looked (and it needs a lot of batteries).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw40.jpg

Kmart Garden City - Sunday 23rd - had the new Rescue Bots Mega Mighties for $19, and possibly a restock of the Studio Series Deluxe wave 6.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km34.jpg

Target Garden City - Sunday 23rd - nothing new since last time (actually a very pathetic range... but looks like they got in some SS Voyagers since that day, according to the posts above)

Toyworld Macgregor - Sunday 23rd - Finally got in the Siege toys, but only wave 2... along with wave 1 of the Leaders. Also got in a HEAP of Titans Return Trypticons, with the same price as Predaking next to it ($300). Still a fair few of the MP Shadowpanthers and Golden Lagoon toys, and they had in the Trading Card Game Devastator and Metroplex sets. Both priced at $30, but Devastator was already discounted to $25. They also had in the SS-15 Studio Series Bumblebee with Charlie and car parts for $70 (appears to be a Toyworld exclusive). Plus, a licensed sticker set with over 1,000 stickers. Heaps of Tiny Changers series 1 and 3.

Today at Logan Hyperdome.
I was there to check out Kmart, BigW and Myer hoping to find some of the newer toys... struck out on all three though.
It didn't help that Myer was now gone. (I wasn't too surprised though, as it's not the sort of demographic in that area to shop up-market like at Myer, and the last couple of times I was there, most of their top floor was for clearance items, so it ended up being like an outlet store or dumping ground for unwanted stock)

Kmart didn't have anything worth noting.

BigW didn't really either (I couldn't find any of the Toy Sale items at all), but did have 9 boxes of Ooshies (now down to $3), and the first Trading Card Game starter box down to $14 (next to a shelf tag for $18... but it scanned up at $14).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw42.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw43.jpg

Toyworld had the SS-15 Bumblebee w/ Charlie set, as well as the two Titans Predaking and Trypticon, along with the Devastator Trading Card Game box set. The Mighty Muggs were on clearance at $10, and they had the second wave of Botbots 5-packs ($17) next to the first wave of Botbots 1-packs ($6).

Wave 3 Siege Deluxes at Sunnybank Kmart. I got the last Refraktor and Brunt, but still one Red Alert and Hound left (they might have only put half a case out though since the shelves were full). Did not scan but I pricematched to Big W anyway.

[griffin]

At Robina yesterday (I've been down there three times since Toymate opened, and every time it was raining).
I checked out the five stores that have toys, and none had anything that I was looking for.

Target - nothing worth noting.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg17.jpg

Myer - also nothing worth noting.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019m09.jpg


Toymate - none of the newest items, but had a few older items on sale.
The Studio Series Bumblebee with Charlie for $70 (same as Toyworld).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm27.jpg

Still trying to clear out heaps of these voice changer masks from the 5th movie at half price, while also selling the ones from the 6th movie.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm28.jpg

Rescue Bots, and they still have the first series single pack Botbots for $6.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm29.jpg

I saw that they had heaps of these Nerf Nitro sets, but not the Transformers one... which probably won't show up here.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm33.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm34.jpg

The POTP Legends wave that saw a limited release here, were $12, and heaps of the Prime Masters for $6. They also have series 2 and 3 Tiny Changers for $5.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm35.jpg

Their spelling of "Master" is a bit off...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm36.jpg

Kmart - nothing worth noting.

And last night, thanks to a tip-off by member Justowen - Kmart Sunnybank HAD a Studio Series Ironhide. No Siege wave 3 Deluxes though, so they were already all gone.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km38.jpg

[jaydisc]

Kmart Maroochydore finally got a Studio Series Ironhide (which I bought) and his case-mate (OP?).

[griffin]

Monday at Coles Sunnybank, the RID Legions are now on clearance, at half price of $4.25.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019c03.jpg

Then last night, at Garden City Myer, the Transformers were moved again, as they appeared to have gotten in more of the Siege toys since I was last there at the beginning of their toy sale.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019m10.jpg

And at Kmart - The Ooshies 7 packs are now on clearance, while they had some new stock of the Rescue Bots Flip Racers (I haven't seen them at this store for about a year), for just $5 (they were originally $12). I think we only ever got wave 1 here in Australia (way back in 2017), but there are some wave 2 figures here (Blurr and Chase), so maybe we might see wave 3 (2018) or 4 (2019) here now as well.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km39.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km40.jpg

And I was disappointed to see one of the Botbots packs ripped open to steal one of the toys inside...

Kmart Maroochydore finally got a Studio Series Ironhide (which I bought) and his case-mate (OP?).




So... What have we had so far.

BigW had the new Cyberverse Ultra Alpha Trion (they had two... now just one), and HAD the new 1-step Shockwave.
Nothing else new.

Kmart had two Hounds, which means that they had at least one case of wave 3 Siege Deluxes... but none of them were there. They had a huge restock of the Rescue Bots flip-racers, at the new cheap $5 price. All wave 2 and 1 though.
All five of their Botbots 8-packs had their hidden figures stolen, which is probably the main flaw of having an easy access gimmick of punching the toy through the back of the card.

Target had nothing new, but the TFs had been moved to a new part of the toy section.

As such, we might get them here if these are popular enough. Something to keep an eye out for if they come here.

This BigW also had a LOT of these combiner number-bots (each has a vehicle mode and number mode and combines). For a small BigW store, they seem to bog themselves down with a lot of random items that aren't that popular.

But we know Siege W3 has been through.], Myer [Nothing new. OTOH no remains suggesting they haven't been stocked yet], Target [There is a Red Alert and a Hound.

Big W Underwood restocked Siege Wave 3 Deluxes including 2x Refraktors if anyone is still looking.

They weren't there at midday but still 1 Brunt and both Red Alerts and Hounds from that case.

[Jellico]

It would be nice to just see a Refractor.

I will admit in the three Big Ws I regularly check (Springfield, Garden City and Carindale) I haven't even seen a lonely Red Alert or Brunt.

Speaking of Red Alert, Garden City Target still had one on Friday.

[griffin]

I still haven't processed my photos from yesterday, but I found a lot of the newest Cyberverse Warriors (Deadlock and Gnaw) at most stores I checked out.

More Botbots being stolen, this time the single packs. Hasbro made them a little too easy to get into.

Addendum... Target has 2 x SS Long Hauls. Good hunting

I'm now a proud member of the two Refractors club. Now to wait and hope a third materialises for me.

Pretty sure it wasn't there on Thursday when I was there or maybe I'm blind. Hopefully still there on Monday. Ordered one through Amazon on 31st but didn't have stock and now I'm thinking they won't get any, so I'll probably have to find one locally.

Target Carindale has had Siege Wave 3 Deluxes arrive. 2 x Reflector.

Does Springer come with Starscream? I ask because there is a lonely Starscream at Carindale Big W that I don't remember being there before.

Target Runaway Bay: Cyberverse Power of the Spark figures sighted: Jetfire, Prowl and Shockwave all x2. I took the last Sharkticon @ 29 each.
Big W Runaway Bay : Siege Wave 3 figures, and Studio Series. They've all been moved into the same shelf space, adjacent from where they used to be. No cyberverse power of the spark figures.

[Convoid]

Does Springer come with Starscream? I ask because there is a lonely Starscream at Carindale Big W that I don't remember being there before.

Yes. If only Starscream is left at a Big W store, it means someone has already bought Springer.

[Nonalyth]

Siege Wave 3 deluxes at Kmart Caloundra (holiday ftw). Grabbed a Refractor but there were at least 2 left, as well as the other figures.

[griffin]

Yesterday at Helensvale Westfield...

Kmart - had the new Cyberverse Spark Armor toys... Battle class ($29) and Elite class ($49), plus a full case of Siege Deluxe wave 3. The Micromaster class was also on clearance for $14, which usually means it will not be restocked once those units are sold.

Kmart Garden City has changed the location of the Transformers. They have 3 Brunt and 2 Refraktor if anyone needs them still.

[griffin]

Popped into Myer at Garden City today to see if they had the new Cyberverse to get them for 20% off (since the Kmart and Target prices are almost identical so this would be the cheapest option right now).
They did have the first wave of both sizes (the smaller Battle class and larger Elite class), and Siege Leaders in a different spot.
Someone must have already bought some of the Battle class Cyberverse toys as there was only Jetfire and Skybyte left (Starscream and Prowl were missing).

[griffin]

That's interesting... we weren't supposed to be getting that Soundwave/Doombox pack here. There must have been excess unsold stock somewhere to have them sent here.
Considering it was US$50 in America (about AU$70), and it is only AU$45 at Toymate, it shows that it is cheap excess stock from somewhere. (the shelf tag notes how much it would have been in Australia, noting the RRP of AU$100... which is a sneaky way of getting around consumer law that prohibits listing a full price with a discounted price, if that store never had, or will have, it at that full price)

On Friday at Target Springwood - nothing really notable. A Refraktor and Studio Series Rampage, along with Siege Ultra Magnus and Shockwave... but no Cyberverse Spark Armor figures at all.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg25.jpg

From the last week... Just about every store I went into with toys, had Siege Thundercracker and Reflector.

Coles Sunnybank - another issue of the UK Rescue Bots kids magazine, with a choice of two different bonus items stuck to the front.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019c04.jpg

Garden City on Friday...

Kmart - Siege Thundercracker and Reflector, plus Botbots Arcade pack for $49 (for anyone wanting it, I put the "number 6" pack at the back which is the only one of the six Arcade packs that have all 16 new figures).

Today at Logan Hyperdome, for the opening weekend of the new Toymate store there (where Myer used to be). Images and details of that store will be posted shortly in the Toymate news topic here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php/26713).
The most notable items I saw at the store were heaps of Siege Thundercracker, Megatron and Reflector's wave of Deluxes, plus wave 3 Micromasters (Blackjack & Hyperdrive, which the master cartons must have come with wave 1 Autobot Race Car Patrol and Battle Patrol, which didn't officially get released here as we missed wave 1), plus the Bumblebee Movie Soundwave pack (the Titans Return Soundwave) for $45, the Botbots series 3 5-packs and Arcade pack, and a lonely new release Rescue Bot toy (Racer car Whirl).

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tm45.jpg

BigW - Almost nothing left for Transformers in their main toy section, and very little left in their pre-pack display in the middle of the store.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw59.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw60.jpg

Toyworld - Siege Battlemaster wave 3 (Smashdown and Caliburst - which is the first I'd seen of them due to the major retailers appearing to no longer stock that size class), Botbots series 3 5-packs, Series 3 Tiny Changers, and a lone Omega Supreme behind the front counter for $300... which goes to show the independent nature of Toyworld (and Mr Toys Toyworld) pricing, as stores down south have it at $250.

When Omega showed up for $250 down south I checked Mr Toys online and they say $300.

Toyworld doesn't usually pricematch but I was planning to go in tomorrow and see if they price match themselves ;)

[Soundwarp]

Wow, that’s some serious transformers wall

[Jellico]

Okay. Talked to a nice young lady.

Mr Toys will currently price match or take 30% off. Whichever is less for them. Only local. Not online.

Mr Toys IS Toyworld. So they will price match southern Toyworlds. Omega can be bought for $250.
Victorian link for proof of price.

Wow, some decent looking supply there Griffin. I've been seeing some bumble/barricade masterpieces at bigw and feel sad every time because they're tightly wrapped with antitheft devices and the wires are cutting the boxes. The box is half of why you buy those ones.

Just adding to this: she mentioned that they normally have to call the store they’re price matching with to check that they still have Omega in stock. I guess I managed to get around that by going to the store after 8pm qld time.
Pretty sure I spoke to the same staff member too because she recognised the photo proof haha
There are at least two Omegas at Carindale after I left. (Plus Siege Megs, Thundercracker, Refractor, botbots series 3 packs.)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw61.jpg

[lfpnrg]

Yeah found the Series 3 blind bags Botbots at Big W in Toowoomba last night too, don't have a pic.

[reillyd]

Big W Robina Full case of Series 3 (orange) and Series 4 (blue) Botbots, but not in the Transformers section. I only wanted the llama pi?ata so the rest are there if you want (google series 4 Botbots codes if you need it).
Also under the shelf was assorted "worlds smallest toys". There are Transformers and Gi Joe waves to come, but these were just girls care bear and barbies, and a special case of Matchbox cars.

NO new Cyberverse toys either.

Robina Toymate has had a restock of Arcade Renegades Botbots. I picked up case number 6 which is apparently good? If you want a complete set, but if anyone is desperate I may well be willing to trade whatever the unique one is. Wasn't that impressed with what you get for 59.95

[griffin]

Yes, number 6 Arcade set is the complete one with all 16 Arcade figures (8 new moulds, 8 new redecos).

Kmart now have it for $49, if you wanted to buy one from there and take it to Toymate to get a refund (saving you $11).

[Ravagecat]

Toyworld MacGregor marked the Masterpiece BW Black Panther down to $109 last night when I was there, saving anyone who has held off $20. They also had the Devastator and Metroplex Card Booster sets marked down to $15 behind the counter. If you're after titans I saw Omega, Tripsy and Predaking top shelf in toy aisle. Saw series 3 botbots 5packs i think and definately the Arcade 16 pack at $54 A few Starscream and Optimus golden lagoon left to at their original retail price.

link for BW here (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Ta7RPyALzZjtuzi7raE8tcc0Rsinm49/view?usp=drivesdk)

[griffin]

They got Golden Lagoon Optimus? It wasn't there a couple weeks ago. I already got it though. Now I wonder if they will get Soundwave or if I have to import it to complete the set.
I might get the Shadowpanther now....

Found Voyager Siege Megatron at Kmart Australia Fair. Only one left after I picked one up for myself.

[griffin]

Friday afternoon (15th).... hunting for Botbots series 4 single packs.

Kuraby BigW - almost nothing in the regular Transformers section (and they only had series 2 Botbots single packs)... most of their Transformers toys were in the pre-pack display.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw62.jpg

Calamvale BigW - Series 3 Botbots single packs & 5-packs, Siege Voyager Thundercracker & Megatron, and still a butt-load of Movie "basic" sized toys (they really must have had a typo on the order, adding a couple of zeros on the number of units they wanted).
The pre-pack display had left the instructions on from Hasbro, showing what four toylines were packed with it, and all of the ones I've seen, none are new waves.

NO SIGHTING of the Cyber Battallion toys hitting Toyworlds around the country.

Yesterday at Kmart Sunnybank - nothing new, but they had up two new clearance tags, which means no new waves of either item unfortunately.
$6 for the Siege Battlemasters and $24 for the Cyberverse Warriors. Not sure why the Cyberverse Warriors are ending for Kmart, unless the new packaging sub-line is being treated as a new product in their computer/re-order system.

Can confirm, just grabbed what seemed to be the last 2 there and price matched from target.

[griffin]

BigW Garden City HAD both Crosshairs and Spinister this afternoon as well. Only a single Crosshairs left, with a lot of Reflectors, Brunts, Hounds, and Sideswipes.
Managed to get $2 knocked off to match Target, but they didn't have them in the system yet, so had to spend a little time getting them checked out first.

The store also had an almost complete case of Series 4 Botbots single packs (two were missing). That was pretty good, to restock so soon after getting the 3rd and 4th series in a couple weeks ago. I bought the series 4 packs, leaving about 10 of the series 3 packs left (green bubbles).

Good sign that other toyworlds may have Astrotrain and may price match...

[reillyd]

Toymate Robina had Cyber Battallion toys for $20. Only Sideswipe, Prowl and Shockwave, and I took Shockers.

[Jellico]

Carindale Target has a few Crosshairs left.

Myer is 20% off Transformers. Ends tonight.

Carindale Mr Toys have 1 Astrotrain left. Will pricematch to Target $71.20 as a Siege Leader. (Myer is $71.90)

Target Helensvale 2x Siege Crosshairs, so I know the Spinister Wave came in. But no joy for me.

[Gouki]

Crosshairs and Spinister at Target Willows in Townsville. A couple of each. Good to see we're getting the new deluxe, but, damn it, I want my Targetmasters.

[Jellico]

Rockaway Records Carindale. Someone has sold off a chunk of their collection. Some Chug Beast Wars. MP Magnus and Grimlock. Some 3rd party. Prices aren't great. Owner is looking online and adding delivery.

[Opsbuscus]

Target Sunshine Plaza: Siege Wave 5 deluxes, multiple Crosshairs, Spinisters and Sideswipes. Had a bit of an issue scanning Spinister so they just scanned Sideswipe again. Must have just come in today.

[Gouki]

Spinister didn't scan at the Big W I work at either (I also scanned the Sideswipe I was getting). Don't know what's going on with him.

[reillyd]

Big W Runaway Bay 1x Spinister, 1x Crosshairs remaining, and my hunt for him is now complete. Now all he needs are some Targetmasters, so going to pinch a pair off an older toy.

Mr Toys Toyworld Macgregor Thursday 5th.
Found the Siege Astrotrain, which they wouldn't price-match to Myer's sale price without calling their store first (which I said don't bother, as I knew they didn't have it). I actually found out about the Toyworld catalogue sale when I got home that night, so went back the next day, and they were happy to price-match the Toyworld price (which was actually $2 less than the Myer price). Oddly, the Astrotrains had different printing on the box to the older figures, which could mean that they were from a different production run for some other countries (or was just making room for more languages to sell in more countries).
They also the Studio Series Bumblebee Helmet for $80, which is a fair bit less than the Amazon Australia price of $112 (and a LOT less than what I paid to get one imported from America because it looked like it wasn't coming here). Hasbro Australia must have offloaded their excess stock to Toyworld, as Amazon Australia mustn't have wanted it any more.
Also, I bought the last MP Shadowpanther (it had been opened and re-taped by someone who must have returned it, but appears to have everything in it... I haven't checked to see if the toy itself is damaged though).
They didn't have any Golden Lagoon Optimus Primes, so must have sold out already, along with one of the other two earlier packs that they had (I think Starscream... as I remember that the only remaining Golden Lagoon figures on the shelf were all of the same one).
They claimed to have had the Cyberverse Cheetor at some point, but only a couple of units, which had since gone.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tw34.jpg

Friday 6th, with a lot of driving around (Springwood, Loganholme, Garden City, Macgregor), hoping to find Cyberverse Cheetor, a couple of missing Botbots capsules from Series 4, Astrotrain (without having to go back to Macgregor Toyworld), and Spinister for a friend. All I ended up finding was Cheetor and Astrotrain (by doubling back to Macgregor Toyworld).

Springwood Target - nothing new to report. (I was able to score a small cardboard display advertising the Bumblebee Movie on DVD, which took a bit of convincing of the two ladies, who kept looking at each other and looking at me... probably wondering why I'd want it)

Toyworld Hyperdome - nothing new to report.

Kmart Hyperdome - A mess, but they had the Botbots Arcade set on clearance already (only down to $42, but could go lower, as they are only new to Kmart, so might take a while to sell).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km64.jpg

BigW Hyperdome - mostly old stuff, but they did have a single Metals Optimus truck, which wasn't there a few weeks ago.... and a lot smaller than I thought it would be (but now the cheap price makes sense). I put it next to a number of other Transformers to show the size of it.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw69.jpg

Toymate Hyperdome - at least 100 Siege Deluxe toys from wave 3 (Brunt, Red Alert, Refraktor, Hound) at the new price of $35... so if you are still looking to collect 3 Refraktors, this is the store for them. Unfortunately, they are not likely to see wave 4 or 5, as it will take a loooooooong time to sell those four characters.
They also restocked their Botbots, as there were a lot more there than on their opening weekend. Plus, there was another solitary Rescue Bot toy from a recent wave.
Some great discounted prices though for the electronic gimmick movie items like the Optimus helmet from TF5 and the Remote Control Sqweeks... each are about a third of their regular price. Just like the Studio Series Bumblebee helmet that has now shown up at Toyworld, the Optimus Helmet was also originally a retailer exclusive in Australia, way back in 2017, at Zing/EB Games for $130-150. It looks like excess stock has been found somewhere and Toymate were keen to take it, for a significantly cheap price.

BigW Garden City - had almost been stripped clean since I was there a week ago. None of the Siege Deluxe toys were left, or any of the Botbots.

Myer Garden City - still none of the new toys that people had been seeing in other Myer stores.

Target Garden City - had the new Cyberverse Cheetor (one still left).

I went out today, still looking for Spinister for a friend, and the two Series 4 Botbots I was missing...

BigW Calamvale - the hundreds of Bumblebee Movie Speed Series toys are gone after a year of warming pegs. I wonder what they did with them.
They had two Siege Crosshairs, but no Spinisters.
Still heaps of Series 2 and 3 single-pack Botbots.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw72.jpg

Target Browns Plains - two Cyberverse Cheetors, and the Spark Armor Optimus from wave 1.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tg30.jpg

BigW Browns Plains - hardly anything in the main Transformers section. Over in another section they had single-pack Botbots on hooks, with series 2, 3 and 4.
They had 22 of the 24 packs of series 4, but naturally, one of the two that they were missing was one of the two I needed.
I also found another multi-pack that had been opened and the toy stolen. Fortunately they changed the packaging for the 2020 Botbots to prevent the easy theft of the hidden figures.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw73.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019bw74.jpg

BigW Underwood/Kuraby - also hardly anything in the main Transformers section. And in another part of their toy section, they had series 2 and 4 of the single-pack Botbots.
(fortunately, they had the second one that I was looking for)

Found a Spinister at a Big W. I think it was the last one. The good news I went to my local Kmart and there was a fresh case of deluxes, with Spinister and Crosshairs, this afternoon. I live in Sunnybank area, it?s not Sunnybank, or Garden city. But you could check those stores if you like. I have given a hint, it?s a 3rd mystery store?

Reject Shop Sunnybank had all of the big and small Authentics in store, which includes big Megatron, which hadn't been released here yet.
The small figures are $10 - Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Starscream.
The big figures are $20 - Optimus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Grimlock. (Starscream was never made)

The prices are actually quite high for the Reject Shop, as those were the prices for these toys when they were at Woolworths and Coles last year... and you'd expect the Reject Shop to be significantly cheaper, as suppliers usually offer their unwanted products at lower prices as an incentive.

Just picked up the "black mamba" Red Grimlock from IGA Sarina . Went to Mackay and they have him also.

Just note that we don't permit sightings of KOs (copies of legit toys, no matter how long ago they were released) on this site, or encourage people to buy them (or to consider getting them).
To alert us to identical KOs, or to let us know of an amusingly coloured KOs, you can post about them in the KOs section (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/forumdisplay.php/36)... without promoting them of course.

It would be disappointing if a legitimate Australian retailer was buying KOs, either intentionally or by not knowing that they were KOs (from a supplier who tricked them into buying KOs).

From the last week (only now have the time to post these up... but there isn't anything too exciting to report).

DEC 24th (late in the afternoon, so the stores were pretty much stripped clean by this stage)...

Pacific Fair BigW - nothing much.

Pacific Fair Kmart - the newer Rescue Bots and series 4 single pack Botbots.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km65.jpg

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019km66.jpg

(that store was a huge mess)

DEC 26th...

Kmart Logan Hyperdome - Must have had the fourth series of single pack Botbots, but all that was left was the empty case. They also had the newest regular sized Rescue Bots, and a restock of the Mega Mighties wave 1 (Bumblebee & Hotshot).

Toyworld at Logan Hyperdome - had the voyager sized Studio Series Brawl, which I haven't seen for a while.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2019tw35.jpg

Toymate at Logan Hyperdome - They have red "sale" tags for the Siege Voyagers, now at $39 (don't know for how long or if it is permanent). Also found several Siege Astrotrains, as well as two different licensed Bumblebee remote control cars (the Movie VW and the RID car). And near the front of the store, a heap of more old stock that they didn't have a couple weeks ago - the 5th movie (Last Knight) wave 3 Deluxe figures of Drift, Sqweeks, Slug and Steelbane.

Big w in the city (queen st) just got in new siege deluxes. I got Spinister!! $29. 2 left and 2 Crosshairs and a couple Hounds and Sideswipes

[reillyd]

Kmart Helensvale had literally cleared its shelves of all transformers during the week (tags still there, all old stock removed) so I am hoping that means old Cyberverse line pulled, new Cyberverse subline and Earthrise coming. Otherwise why pull them all, and leave an empty half an isle.

[reillyd]

Robina Toymate has 3x Omega Supreme, but at $299 I suspect it will be a while before they clear them

[Jason Voorhees]

Saw the Cyberverse Adventure line with build a figure. Ther was Shockwave, Prime, megaton and bumblebee all for $40 each in Toyworld.

From Saturday at Garden City, to see how the stores were after a month after Christmas...
(nothing new though)

BigW - big fail with no restocking since Christmas... the only Transformers were Bumblebee Movie "Legends" figures and Siege Battlemasters.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2020bw01.jpg

Myer - also a big fail, with no restocking since Christmas.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2020m01.jpg

They had a discount sale on that ended today, which I completely forgot to post up until now. (sorry)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2020m02.jpg

Target - almost a fail, as they had a lot less than at Christmas, but still a bit of a range to choose from.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2020tg01.jpg

Kmart - a pass, barely, as there looked to be some new items, but not a lot.
They had a fair few Botbots on the pegs (including several more packs that had the capsules raided - this was the same store that had several packs raided a few months back)... plus, they had "new" some Rescue Bots big Bumblebees (with two minicons) from 2018, priced at just $29 (the original price was about $50-60).

Toyworld at Macgregor - nothing new, but they managed to get in a lot of older stock to sell cheap (RID Legions wave 2, 3 4, and Rescue Bots single pack Flip Racers which Kmart recently restocked for cheap, so Hasbro must have a lot of excess unsold stock)

From the last week or so...
(been busy with some things recently, so haven't been able to post these yet)

FEB 4th - Kmart Sunnybank - Had some of the new Cyberverse Deluxe toys, but nothing else new, other than another clearance tag... this time for the larger Cyberverse Spark Armor toys for $35 now.

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020km06.jpg

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020km07.jpg

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020km08.jpg


FEB 4th - Coles Sunnybank - a new issue of the UK Rescue Bots Magazine with a new bonus toy (Wedge) on the front. These would have been a nice set of figures to collect, but I wasn't keen on spending about $10 for each issue and maybe risk not getting the full set if any issues didn't come here.

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020c01.jpg


FEB 8th - Coles Sunnybank Hills - also had the new issue of the Rescue Bots Magazine, which noted that Chase would be the bonus toy next month. Also, in the party section, they had the red Bumblebee masks that I saw at a Kmart about 3 years ago... claiming to be officially licensed, but the more shocking thing is that they were charging $3 for something that must have cost about 10 cents to make.

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020c02.jpg

http://toycollectors.com.au/2020c03.jpg


FEB 8th - Kmart Sunybank Hills - Had a lone Cyberverse Deluxe Bumblebee left (most kmarts seem to be getting just one case, and either not restocking, or taking a long time to get new stock in). In the licensed cars aisle, I found a "new" Remote Control Bumblebee car for $39. It is licensed by Jada, and they must have been sitting on this stock for almost 3 years... which might be why it is pretty cheap for its size (about Leader Class size).
Nothing else to note, other than another store that had Botbots stolen from their packaging... including one that they broke and just left there.

FEB 12th - Toymate Hyperdome - Still have heaps of the discounted TF5 Movie Deluxes and Optimus Voice Changer Helmets near the front of the store, and a mountain of the Siege Deluxes in the main section. They also still have a heap of the Siege Micromasters that haven't appeared to have shown up anywhere else, so maybe this store ended up ordering so many when they opened, that they ended up with all of Hasbro Australia's stock of this wave.

Too many injuries.

[Jellico]

Mackay seems to be a Toyworld. Not a Mr Toys Toyworld. Sister companies but different supply chains. Toyworld is mostly down south. I hit this last year with Siege Op.

Good news. Mr Toys price matches Toyworld. So if they are quick like they were with Omega you should be able to grab that $75 Op.

Oh and I checked Carindale Mr Toys and Myer today. Nothing yet.

[griffin]

That is unfortunately true... Toyworld and Mr Toys Toyworld are essentially two different entities with different supply chains, so something new or different appearing at one, may not show up at the other if limited stock arrived into the country or it is old stock being discounted to one retailer that wanted it. It can also mean arrival times being completely different for new product lines.

Just like Sydney, Brisbane doesn't really have any "Toyworld" stores that aren't Mr Toys Toyworlds, so if something gets sighted in Melbourne Toyworlds (which is where their main warehouse is located), Sydney and Brisbane can end up missing out, or have to wait for another retailer to get them in.

[optimall]
