Here are some comparisons. Keep in mind TRU has a sale on KRE-O TF at the moment.

Optimus Prime is the cheapest to buy at BigW or TRU for $2 more.

Target is a rip off at $129.

Although Sentinel Prime is $79 at Target. Big W's large Kre-Os have that crappy Big W security film on it :(

BIG W $14.64 vs TRU $11.99 ON SALE - KREO TFM BASICOPTI
BIG W $14.64 vs TRU $11.99 ON SALE - KREO TFM BASICBUMB
BIG W $19.67 vs TRU $15.99 ON SALE - KREO TFM MIRAGE
BIG W $19.67 vs TRU $15.99 ON SALE - KREO TFM JAZZ
BIG W $38.93 NOT AT TRU - KREO TFM PROWL
BIG W $38.93 vs TRU $39.99 - KREO TFM RATCHET
BIG W $48.87 vs TRU $39.99 - KREO TFM SIDESWIPE
BIG W $58.84 vs TRU $59.99 - KREO TFM STARSCREM
BIG W $58.84 vs TRU $39.99 ON SALE - KREO TFM BBXBUMBLE
BIG W $68.84 vs TRU $59.99 - KREO TFM MEGATRON
BIG W $78.84 NOT AT TRU - KREO TFM SENTINEL
BIG W $98.00 vs TRU $99.99 - KREO TFM OPTIMUS C

Total TRU equals $395.90 so they are correct! :)

AWESOME! thanks a bunch mr Ed. :D if I buy them online, I save myself 80 bucks.

Just got off the phone with TRU Aspley, they have 5+ of the WFC 3 pack.
I'm heading there now, and it's a bit if a hike for me lol.
BRISBANE people, send me pm ASAP if you want me to pick one up. I can afford to walk away with three extras.

Garden city still don't have any. :/ they seem to expect a shipment within the next few days MAYBE.

Mr Ed

3rd September 2011, 08:41 AM

Big W Underwood for once had some decent TF stuff

They had Kre-O Sentinel Prime and Prowl for $79 and $39 respectively.

Best of all, they didnt seal it with the Big W security tape.

Although there is a risk of people pinching stuff.

I checked mine and the contents are intact

Wait, people are stealing the kreons themselves? It wouldn't even
have occured to me to check. Maybe that's why some Toyworlds have
them behind the conter. That would totally suck to come home to
find just bricks in the box. Grrr.....

one Cyberverse Hatchet at Pick n Pay Sunnybank Hills, $16 though

Mr Ed

3rd September 2011, 02:58 PM

Apprently TRU Garden City has the 3 pack WFC for $45

griffin

3rd September 2011, 03:34 PM

The Kreo Boxes should have tape on them, so people would need to be breaking that open first to pinch stuff from inside (it'd be easy to peel open that tape though, which might explain why some BigWs are adding more of their own).
As with any boxed figures, always check the tape on all edges first. (I always do)

Kmart Sunnybank has 6 Ultimate Optimus primes left now. ;)
Might have to grab one of those WFC 3-packs tomorrow before they disappear.

Mr Ed

3rd September 2011, 10:12 PM

Griffin - I rang TRU Garden City today and they said they only got one box?

I reserved one but couldnt see the others on the shelves

You may need to go to Aspley TRU unless they restock

Cat

5th September 2011, 02:28 AM

So I've probably missed the WFC 3-pack then?

Sigh.

tinyJazz

5th September 2011, 09:03 AM

They had about 10 when I was at Aspley TRU. Five on the shelf and more up top. :/

griffin

5th September 2011, 12:47 PM

If the GC store don't have any, maybe ask if they can transfer one over from the Aspley store, or ask if they do "rainchecks" (matching a sale price when they finally get in stock after the sale)

(I still haven't had a chance to get to GC yet)

Cat

5th September 2011, 08:37 PM

Apparently GC is out of them already.

I can't get to Aspley, so looks like it's time to hit eBay. :/

griffin

6th September 2011, 11:49 AM

Yeah, couldn't find any at GC today. And there wasn't anyone at the service desk to ask about it either.

They did have the second wave of the Scanning Deluxes for $30 up the back (everything else is at the front of the store)... but I was surprised to see that all their Ghost Starscreams have disappeared. They had about a dozen last time I was there about a week ago, and weren't moving.

Since the Scanning Deluxes are 3 times the American price, I'll just look for an American source that has them and the WFC 3-pack.

Sky Shadow

6th September 2011, 01:25 PM

So I've probably missed the WFC 3-pack then?

Sigh.

I wouldn't worry about it - Toys 'R' Us exclusives tend to shelfwarm and I know there are still heaps of the three-pack in Canberra - if they don't show up for you in the next month or so, see if someone from another state or territory can help you.

First - cheers for the offer.

BUT: it seems there must have been a miscommunication, or they found a few more or something. They actually had 3 sets in today (now two).

Great set, I love the new decos.

Great set, I love the new decos.

They must have received a new case yesterday, as they definitely weren't there yesterday morning - I was in there this morning and that particular shelf spot was empty yesterday.
Only one there now.

I also tried to get the two Scan series Deluxes (Bbee, Ratchet), but I managed to have someone at the register who actually knew what they were doing, and knew that these figures didn't have Mechtech on the packaging so wouldn't sell them at the sale price. I tried to point out that these two are in their system as 'Mechtech', making it their mistake in labelling them as such and should be given the sale price... but he wouldn't budge. If only it was one of the young girls on the register... it would have been easier to convince someone who doesn't know the difference.
Looking on ebay, it's gonna cost about $60 (at the cheapest) to get the pair shipped here anyway. :(

I got mine for the $24ea no issues Griff. If you'd like a pair of them PM me, I was thinking of selling mine :)

griffin

7th September 2011, 01:44 PM

Thanks for the offer. I'll see if I can try again later in the week when that guy isn't at the register. (and postage from perth to me would probably eliminate any savings anyway)

Mr Ed

8th September 2011, 07:19 PM

I went to TRU Garden City today and managed to get them for $24 each it was a lot of trouble to do it

What I did was to take a photo of the 23.99 price tag and then go up to the check out. When it rung up 29.99 I showed them my phone. Then the lady goes to verify it. Then they reluctantly price matched it even though they said it was in another section.

So in the end it was $43 ($48 less a $5 voucher) I forgot to bring my original receipt but the lovely young lass said that for next time bring the receipt.

griffin

10th September 2011, 06:06 PM

Went back today and that guy wasn't there, so I managed to get the Scanning Deluxes for the sale price.
The pair are in system as 'Transformers Mechtech', but they tried to say that it was a different item code that qualified for the sale. That may be true, but the catalogue lists an item description, so if the Head Office had entered them into the system with the wrong description, they should honour the catalogue. It's not up to the customers to look for the item numbers in the catalogue and work out if that is the exact item...
In future, they shouldn't use similar/identical product descriptions for items that they don't intend to include in a sale for one and not the other.

They were all out of the WFC 3-packs.

And I saw a single Shockwave & Skyhammer, which is the first time I'd seen that wave there.

They seem to have 3 Ghost Starscreams there now (as of last week). Still not sure where the rest went.
I also noticed the other day when I was there, that they have a Commander Optimus at the front of the store with only one gun in the packaging, and it won't be noticed until someone buys it and opens it up at home.

Cat

15th September 2011, 01:11 AM

I've only seen the 3 ghost MP 'Screamers there for a while now.

I figured the others were stacked up out back.

16th September 2011, 12:50 AM

Tonight Defcon and Just Owen and I met up at 630 at Garden City and looked around. Unfortunately NO MP Rodimus Prime and NO Cybertronian Warriors Pack.

After looking around, I drove them out to TRU Aspley as a means of running in my new car and getting Masterpeice Rodimus Prime for Jay Disc.

When I was there I bought Rodimus and also purchased the Cyberverse DOTM Cybertronian Warriors Pack comprising of redecos of

1. Bumblebee Mobile Battle Bunker
2. Ironhide Commander
3. Crankcase Legion
4. Barricade Legion

Also at Pick N Pay I bought Battle Steel Optimus Prime for $16 (NB It has gone up $1 from last time).

They had a few left.

Defcon

16th September 2011, 06:30 PM

Hey guys just wondering if anyone knows whether MP Rodimus will be restocked at TRU Garden City. I saw quite a bunch of them a week or two before =/ Also could anyone tell me if the other TRU locations has him. Thanks!

Hey it doesn't look like Garden City TRU is getting anymore MP Rodimus. But you could always ask them just to be certain they don't have one just laying around somewhere . TRU Aspley has a few in stock. Not sure how many but it could be about 6 or 8. There is also a TRU at Pacific Fair down the the Gold Coast, but do not know if they have any.

I went to TRU Garbo today and surprisingly they had two more in stock. Right under the tf shelves. Picked one up so there's only one more left if anyone wants it!

DOTM Hatchet at Kmart,
There was one at indro but it's gone now :p sorry dudes.

EDIT:

Just remembered now, they also had Ultimate Optimus for $79.

nsm034

18th September 2011, 08:06 PM

I got a ultimate optimas prime $79 and a MP rodimus $59 today and they had about 10 optimas and at least the same rodimus and also have ghost of starscream masterpiece aswell

griffin

18th September 2011, 09:13 PM

Judging by your location, that'd be the TRU in Cairns for the MP toys? We don't get many sightings from that TRU, even though we have more stores outside of our state's capital than other states that have stores.
(I just had a look at the TRU website and was surprised at how spaced apart ours are, compared to other states - 2 in Brisbane, 1 on the GCoast, 3 in the far north)

Went to TRU Garden City today and they had 6 MP rodimus there if anyone wants to grab them. K-mart did not have any Ultimate optimus prime left. Anyone knows whether Sunnybank or any other K-mart's close by are having Prime in stock? Tomorrows the last day to get him at 79 =/

griffin

25th September 2011, 12:53 PM

Looks like Garden City Kmart have restocked their movie toys, but still all old waves. :(
They did have the new small Star Wars Crossovers for $18 each... but still isn't anything "new".

BigW had a few things on a clearance table (Gobots & Revving Robots) but nothing new.

And TRU... moved all their TFs up the back (Lego is now up the front), and they had the new Streetside Bot Brawl set out.

I actually went in to get the Cybertronian 4-pack that was in the catalogue that ends today, and they didn't have it. So I asked, and after being left at the main counter for 12 minutes, the lady came back with a master carton of them, saying that they were left out the back somewhere (it took her a bit of time to find them).
So who knows how long they've been sitting on that catalogue item, because they never had it out, and there was no shelf tags.

Target Helensvale now kas Kreo ratchet in stock. Must have been unpacked late. Most Mirages are gone, but they are overstocked with Jazz.

Kmart Helensvale has two Cyberverse Hatchets and two Primes with the re blades.

MR Toys Toyworld Runaway Bay has the previous wave of gEnerations for 19.99, including Wreckgar for army builders

7 DotM Blade Prime Cmdr toys at Sunnybank Kmart, but no Hatchets... someone's already raided them all. :(

Mr Ed

1st October 2011, 05:57 PM

Target Mt Gravatt has nothing exciting or cheap.

They seem to be the only place around with different DOTM Commanders

Blackout
Powerglide
plus the usual Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Something interesting is that they seemed to have stocked up on the DOTM Commader and Legion packs.

At Target, they had the

- Leadfoot (Target) and Ironhide (blue)
- Megatron (black and purple) and Bumblebee (yet another repaint)

Big W Garden City's Human Alliance have reverted back to $29.

Toyworld Southport is pretty much out of Transformers stock, except for
the new Cyber Blaster at a clearance price of only $30. for a talking shooting
gun (real Peter Cullen voice) its pretty awesome.

KMart Southport had very few transformers, but was just unpacking a huge range of toys (I'm presuming christmas sale) in another section of the store (near sporting). There's a lot of new stock (not necessarily new toys - a lot of it is very cheaply priced 'generic' import toys). But there were nearly a dozen "Ultimate DOTM Prime"s sitting there, and more leader class bumblebee. Hopefully with that many, and an equally large number clogging up TRU, we might see a good sale price in the coming months.

Garden City Kmart didn't have the 5-packs in yet, but said that they were on the way, and it could be "rain-checked".

The BigW did have a DotM Cyber Blaster dart gun, but not anymore. It was priced $34.48.
They also had the advent calendar for $3.

TRU had nothing "new", but did have about 12 MP Rodimus toys, and about 10 of the Playdoh sets for $30.

Anyone in QLD seen a BattleOps Bumblebee on special lately? I went to get the last one from a KMART up here and it was gone.

If any of you see one could you please let me know what store and I will ask the respective store up here to get it.

Thanks in advance

Hey Kreh80, if you got to the Mr toys website you can order him directly. Not sure waht the shipping is, but it seems like you best bet. they also have HA Jazz.

18th November 2011, 08:13 PM

Thanks for the heads up Tallestblue, the one up here was going for $50 and I ummed and ahhed (i've got one but it's a bit played with) and now it's gone. If I can't get one from around here I may have to get the one from Mr.Toys.

Thanks again mate

griffin

19th November 2011, 12:25 PM

Sunnybank Kmart finally got in the Ultimate 5-packs - about 12 sets.
Looks like the $29 might be a regular price, but since they changed the price on their TF3 DVDs to $28 (from $18) after about 5 days, the 5-pack could also be an undisclosed introductory price.

Looks like they had restocked on most things too, as there seemed to be more stock on the shelves, but everything was still the initial release waves. :(

It did include Wave 2 DotM Deluxes though, which means people still looking for Topspin or Jolt, can now start looking in Kmarts for a better chance of finding them.

griffin

20th November 2011, 11:39 PM

Christalcase and I found today another TFs playdoh set at BigW Calamvale. I haven't taken pics yet, but it is smaller than the other set, with just 3 tubs of playdoh and 7 character moulds.... for $12.

We also saw that DJs have Kreo as well, but only four sets were listed at the Carindale store (Ratchet, Big Bee, Small Op & Bee) but only had Ratchet in stock.

The Myer store had 7 or 8 of the Kreo sets as well, but one of the old ladies working the toy department told us off for trying to take a photo of their display (so I could remember later what was there).

Target there had a Hatchet, several Voyager Shockwaves & Skyhammers, and a full range of Rescue Bots.

Plus, BigW at Carindale had several of the Roleplay Dart guns, Ultimate Optimus and Jetwing Optimus still available.

Both BigW stores above still had several of the Walmart Exclusive Optimus toys left as well.

Also, JB Hifi seem to be the only store that DIDNT raise their price on the TF3 DVD after the first couple days of its release. Both Kmart & BigW added $10 onto their release day price of about $18, but JB have kept theirs at $20 (if anyone didn't yet get a copy, but are wanting the cheapest option at this time).

They also the SWTF Quad changer for $49 (which I thought was really cheap).

Kmart Browns Plains had several of the Ultimate 5-packs mixed in with the Ultimate Beyblade giftpacks (same shape and size). Plus several of the new Gold Lunarfire Primes, plus a couple Hatchets.

Target Browns Plains had heaps of their exclusive Cyberverse 2-packs and the new smoky plastic Deluxes. Plus, they must have had Wave 3 Legions in, because I saw the black Bumblebee, but none of the other three of that wave.
Heaps of the most recent SWTFs medium-sized figures as well... and quite a few Kre-O sets as well.

No, Hasbro reports that they won't be available until March next year.
Yeah. MARCH.

They really dropped the ball with this one. You can order them from US, or ebay, or from robotkingdom.com Its cheaper to buy a case from robotkingdom and get rid of the bumblebees.

These early releases have a special First Wave silver deco, so individually they are pricey. If you're patient, you (may) or (may not) get them at AU retail next year. I wouldn't be holding my breath though.

Target Browns Plains in Grand Plaza yesterday, had the target exclusive deluxes with Bumblebee, Arcee, Jazz and Space Case. Unfortunately I only found 3 bumblebees. These figures have a semi translucent plastic and are covered in cybertronian glyphes. The others will probably have a similar effect. Price is about $28

Chermside this morning.

Kmart - Cmdr Dark Sentinal & Optimus. Deluxe Red Ratchet & Black Bbee. No Wave 3 action sets.

BigW - had Wave 3 Action sets, but I bought the Shockwave, so only has Ratchet. Heaps of the Moonlight 3-pack for $49 and the TF2 Speedstars minivehicles. A Voyager Sentinel and Optimus. Quite a few Deluxe Topspins, and a single DotM Soundwave/Bbee/Rodimus 3-pack

Target - only had the Comic Deluxe figures, Rescue Bots playsets and Jetwing Optimus. A couple small figures were there too, but that was pretty much it for Target. They also had $5 puzzle-&-chocolate boxes for christmas as well.

Myer - Heaps of really old stuff, including one of those 2007-Movie infra-red remote control Barricade toys (size of a Legend, and comes with a pen... which is almost 4 years old.
ALso had SWTF Quad-changer ($99), middle size class ($35) and the new small figures ($18). A single Ultimate Optimus ($169). Plus all 12 of the Kre-O sets.

Toyworld - nothing new.

JayJays - had the two new t-shirts in, plus several of the towels.

Looks like the BigW at Warwick has had at least 5 cases, but people must be buying other sets first, as there were only 3 of the Ratchets, and 6 Bumblebees (the wave 3 cases have 1 each Ratchet & Shockwave and 2 Bumblebees). The store is 2 hours away from me, so I'm not going back for any. Besides, I've seen one at the BigW Hyperdome today, and Christalcase said there was one at Kuraby last week.

Target Runaway Bay has about six of the Jetwing Optimus on clearance pricing.

Target is doing a new promotion with purple tags, marking a product at "BELOW COST". I'm guessing to get people in the door. There was a purple tag on him now, for 99.98 [just shy of one hundred dollars].

I'm a little dubious that this is under the cost TakaraTomy were selling him for though, as it would make it one HUGELY expensive toy! Now if it were hasbroAu on the other hand.........

DOTM Human alliance 6.00
DOTM Voyager 29.00

These prices are half price or less off their original retail. If only I'd have known, would have saved a fortune, lol.

Generations Deluxes includes Scourge Sweeps, so might help army builders.
I'm guessing its to clear the stock out for nice new Prime line, and that also means we won't be seeing any further waves of human alliance or voyager at Kmarts.

The Walmart exclusive wave of Ironman 2 Marvel Crossovers in July 2010 have shown up at the Springwood Toyworld for $20 each.
That compares to the US retail price of about US$17 (the exchange rate at the time would have equated to about AU$20)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/toyworld1201.jpg

Target Springwood
TFPrime Legions $7 (all five of wave 1)
TFPrime Deluxe $28 (1 Bbee, 2 Wheeljack, 4 Cliffjumper)
TFPrime Voyager $59 (both of wave 1)
Jetwing Optimus on clearance at $99.83 (noted as being "below cost")

Also, looking at their card backs, it lists them as Series 2!

Did we miss out on Series 1, or does Series 1 refer to DOTM stock?

Five Optimus Voyagers, 1 Megatron Voyager, which with the discount comes to 49.80. That is way too much for a sale price.

I don't know if this is the case for the legion size figures, but when opening my Starscream I noticed that it includes a filecard. You need to tear it off carefully (serated edge), but its nice to see filecards come back again. Unfortunately though, no need for a red tech spec decoder, sigh....

Plenty of Barricades, Bumbles, Starscreams and a couple of Optimus, but the 'chase' figure was gone. Very overstocked on launchers, but I can see Optimus Prime selling quicker than Megatron. Its very much a G1 homage for Prime, but DOTM movie for Megs.

10th June 2012, 01:26 AM

The Target at Carindale had absolutely nothing new yet. It is such a neglected section that they still had the Competition leaflets up (which ended in April).
And apparently Target had 30% off Kreo until the 6th June... which I guess no one noticed to post it in the Oz News section.
All their TFPrime toys were Wave 1.
Legion - $7
Cmdr - $18
Deluxe - $28
Voyager - $49 (which is good to see that they price adjustment finally went through)
Masks - $16

Rescue Bots
Bumblebee playset (heaps - $39), Optimus playset ($99), Electronic ($49)

Kreo - Jazz, Mirage, Optimus were the ones I recall.

Star Wars Crossovers Class 2 - $30

At David Jones (Carindale)
2 KreO Ratchet & 2 Rescue Bots human figurines, and these were the only TFs they had:
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/store1206a.jpg

I was there to buy one of the Remote Control Bumblebees (they've been sitting there since before TF3 came out (hence the "RPMs", which became Speed Stars for TF2 in 2009, which is the date on the back of the packaging of these). I was hoping that they would have started discounting them by now, but no. I asked if they were able to adjust the price, like, knock off $10 since I was interested... the lady went off to ask the store manager. When she came back she told me that DJs don't have the authority at a Store level to adjust prices or clear out stock. The Buyers at Head Office are the only ones who can, which means that if a single store in the country has a heap of a particular item, they are pretty much stuck with it, as the people in Head Office probably wouldn't even know or care about it.
Since they weren't expecting any more clearance sales for toys before Christmas, I ended up buying it anyway. I was tired of waiting for it to be discounted (now I know why) and I wasn't having any luck finding it online or at the last BotCon.

Myer (Carindale)
A first sighting - Remote Controlled TFPrime Bumblebee & Knock Out (our first Knock Out toy released in Australia).
Priced at $45 each.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/store1206c.jpg

Also had the Starscream/Bbee 2-packs for $60.
Plus several DotM Ultimate Primes, and Jetwing Optimus, which is on sale until June 22nd. (it was already clearanced to $135 from $169, so this is a further temporary clearance price).

BigW (Carindale)
TFPrime Dlx and Voyagers wave 1 (nothing smaller)
Two Botshots (the pegs were mostly empty of any TFs items)

griffin

10th June 2012, 01:37 PM

And keep in mind too that this was a toy that America and Europe didn't get... so if you are even remotely interested in eventually getting it, grab it before it disappears, as these are selling on ebay for around $200 plus shipping (BIN prices, while the cheapest auction sold for $123 plus shipping from Japan). If you then decide you don't want it, you should be able to resell it easily for about $100 (even out of box).

Hello QLDers, Skywarp91 here in your territory visiting this week.

Toyworld City (the big one with the collectables) has the Iron Man 2 Crossover figs, plenty of G1 busts but at a dear price and Wave 2 DOTM Human Alliance Basic figures. They also had Leader HFTD Optimus Primes on sale, he's too big to take back but am tempted at a decent price of $70AUS.

The Mr Toys Toyworld at Chermside has basically the same and at both stores there's enough Deluxe Class RTS G2 Optimus Primes for $15-$20 each if i recall correctly (can't remember what precisely).

There's a whole lot of new Hasbro stock at Target, Runaway Bay.

Restock of DOTM Deluxe range, including the red repaint of Rescue Ratchet, restock of Bumblebee (Cyberfire) Thundercracker, Lazerbeak, Jolt and the two twins.

New stock of TF:Prime electronic light and sound Optimus Prime mask. Looks awesome, priced at 39.99 but I suspect may drop in price a little. There are also (non-light non-sound Optimus Masks and Bumblebee masks.

New DOTM Human Alliance pack, I think "Daredevil driver", or daredevil attack squad, something like that. Its a repainted Bumblebee, with Witwicky nd a repeaint of the ski sled we saw in an earlier human alliance (?).

Also, there are new Star Wars Transformer crossovers in a new style packaging. The old Tie Bomber vader, a droid vehicle, and a republic gunship. I don't really pay attention to this line, so it may not be new to you guys.

Also, Toyworld has what I think must be the last wave of Human alliance figures with human underlyings. There's the racing car (yellow), and a whole heap of other characters. I didn't see the red one I was looking for, so it might not be the final wave? All for 14.99

Australia never got the final wave of DOTM HA Basic Figures, and the red figure you are talking about is Reverb. He is a Hard-To-Find figure, I managed to score him off hobbylink japan for about $40AUS. Very steep, but worthy considering its rarity.

Weaponizer Bumblebee and Optimus Prime at Target Indiroopoly (probably spelled it wrong) , no price tag but assumed at $59 as posted in First Sightings thread. 1 of each.

U guys think now is a good time to pick up DotM Jetwing Prime? Or will it come down even more eventually?

Just been to Target up here in Townsville. The lad there said that the Jetwing OP has been put away until after the toy sale. It was on sale up here for $98 and there is 5 left. I was hoping it would be cheaper again as well. But 98 is a good price.

They also have the movie trilogy deluxe class Optimus Prime with trailer for $49 and about 15 grey HA bumblebee with Sam, didn't get a price on that though.

BigW Kuraby appeared to have everything out for the sale next week... so many toys, the store was very cramped for space. There was a mountain of Battle Ops Bumblebees (for about $48), at least 40 of them. At least a dozen of everything else, piled around the store. The PCC sets are wave 3 (and 2) though, so no Grimstone or Steamhammer.
Also the Cyberverse Vehicles and the Wave 2 Remote Control (Optimus & Bbee).
In the regular section, they just had all the regular Wave 1 figures of TFPrime and BotShots.

They're not out today. But more concerning, Kmart has -drastically- reduced

No FOC at Northlakes, Strathpine or Chermside target but was able to finally get a keycode after having a lady from target Chermside ring six NSW stores. Got onto customer relations who imformed me that all stores should have or getting 8 units cept Cairns, Townsville and one other target. The keycode was for Shockwave 52340864. I rang Morayfield target who said yes we have 8 on hand but havent turned up yet so will be ringing them again this arvo.

That one other is probs Bundaberg, they are absolute shocking with their stock levels. I work across the road from them and Check at least 3 times a week. At one stage the stock hadn't changed for 3 weeks.

VOY - $49

BotShots

3-pack - $18Today, these prices were on regular shelf tags:
TFPrime
Legion - $7 (same)
Cmdr - $15.50 (down 25 cents)
DLX - $23.75 (same)
VOY - $39 (down $10)

BotShots

launchers - didn't note it, but I think it was still the same
3-pack - $12.75 (down $5.25)

And the TFPrime Remote Controlled cars are now $25 (they were $35 or $40 before at Kmart, and were $38 at BigW)
Damn, at that price I paid more importing the Knockout one (thinking I was saving $10-15... but they are US$20 in America, so with shipping, I ended up paying more :( )

They had wave 3 Botshots now, so have been restocking those (they got in wave 2 in August), but nothing else (all other lines and size classes are wave 1).

At 10.30 this morning there were none left. I grabbed two (for me and christalcase), just as one of the staff was grabbing the other two for a phoned-in reservation. If I'd been there five minutes earlier, I'd have grabbed one or two more for others :( (would have looked like a toy scalper though).

Nothing else new to report at TRU, BigW or Kmart at Garden City. All old stuff.
No Generations anywhere, of either wave.
TRU did have the TF3 Jetwing Optimus on clearance for $100 though.

I phoned somewhere around 1pm and there were 2 left so the guy held them - I had a few friends that were interested in them and later changed their minds (fools!) so I phoned them back and asked them to put back on the shelf for someone else - hopefully one of you guys if you call them quick enough in the morning.

What happened between 9:30am and 1pm I have no idea, but I think he found them up high, or wherever it is that they keep some backup stock once the ones on the main shelf vanish.

tinyJazz

13th October 2012, 07:03 PM

So there were six this morning...
Defcon grabbed one, leaving 5.
You grabbed one, leaving 4.
And then I grabbed two of the those, while someone else phoned in a reservation for the remaining two.

I think 6 was all they got in too... as there was only space on the shelf for three, and they had three up top. Since they would have stocked them last night, it only took 1 hour for them to sell (from the 9.30 opening).

None left at Pacific Fair/Gold Coast either. I rang up an hour ago and they said they only got in 2 or 4, which were all gone already.

I was the ring in for Mt Gravatt haha. But I only reserved one. I reckon someone else called for the last one right before me, because the phone was engaged the first time I tried.
Did you ask the staff if you could grab the rest? :p The cashier told me. Glad it was you and not a scalper!

I called Aspley first, at 9.36 this morning, and they said there were none left. Weird.

Also, Jayjays had a 30% off full priced items just for today, so I got the Fall of Cybertron OP shirt for $14! Couldn't tell you guys while I was out though, because I'm on a phone plan with rubbish data. :rolleyes:

There was a first sighting of BotShots Wave 4 at BigW Kuraby (Jazz, Leadfoot, Powerglide, Ironhide, clear Optimus), for their usual $7 something. Plus the annual Christmas advent calendar was found at BigWs and Targets for $3.

Otherwise the only newish things we saw were the odd wave 2 of TFPrime Legions at a couple BigWs, and some wave 2 Deluxes (Arcee, Ratchet)... also saw some more of the Capsule figurines at BigW Kuraby, as well as the 3rd and 4th volumes of the TFPrime cartoon DVD and the Gen1 remastered Season 3&4 DVD at BigWs too.

For those who are near or visit the two Hypermarkets (Aspley & Sunnybank), they are being converted to a side-by-side Coles & Kmart, with the Coles being the new "Superstore" format that they've already implemented at three sites in Victoria.
(I saw the signage up at the Sunnybank store, and had a look online (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pick_%27n_Pay_Hypermarket))
This will give people in Brisbane another couple Kmarts to check out, if ever they stock a certain toy, assortment or series.

I guess the 80% market-share domination Coles & Woolies have in the retail market here, makes them see no need to create Walmart-styled Hypermarkets, as any attempt by Walmart to enter into the market here would end up having little impact on their domination (as Aldi certainly didn't, nor have Costco). Coles were going to open or convert quite a few stores into hypermarkets in 2007, but then sold the company to Wesfarmers who put a stop to that plan, as they have no interest in a hypermarket format.
