Just returned from Parra. They had 12 that they were unloading. So 10 now. :) :)
$80 each
That was at 2pm

If you're after Prime Cliffjumper, I have great news for you... :rolleyes:
I called again just now and the guy said they are out of it.
Is it all reserved or I'm just talking to some confused guy?


Just sent the wife to Penrith and she picked up 2
Jazzcomp i got one for you so will bring to Parra Fair for you

Many thanks! :D (cleaning up that inbox now)

At least 6x MP Thundercrackers visible at the Moore Park Supa Centre after I was done with them @9pm today (don't know if I want it, but impulsed bought it - at least I've got the good old returns policy right? :p). I say visible, because 3 of them were on a high shelf that could possible have a few more behind it. Two of the others had minor silver paint imperfections on their faces.

As for MP10, you guys might want to keep TRU's a call on, say, Tuesday? :p;)

Also there, your usual shelf-warming suspects: Prime Bees, tons of DOTM Jetwing and Ultimate OP.

Yeah, I think I know who that might've been and if it was him? - At least I know that it was in an effort for other collectors & not a scalper. ;)
That said, it still denies those who live in the local area the opportunity to buy them which sort of grinds on me a bit. :o

Knowing our luck here in the Illawarra, we'll probably miss out on the MP Thundercrackers as it'd just be my luck (Ours collectively I guess) that they either never show up or someone will just buy the lot. :(

I hope you're right dude, as I've been waiting to complete my MP Seekers for many years now. :o
When I was in there last the bloke behind the counter told me that to have the best likelihood of finding out what stock they have, to call on a Friday as that is the best time that the staff will know what they've got and it could save one a trip out for nothing. ;)

Hopefully that's of some use to you man, but if you see any do let me know please. ;):cool:

GoktimusPrime
29th October 2012, 12:44 PM
Trent: doesn't hurt to ring again. I called TRU Caso on a Wed arvo and they told me that they didn't have MP10 -- then Seraphim Prime posts at 18:30 saying that he spotted some there (but I didn't read this post until 22:00). At 09:05 on Thu morning I called them and they told me that they didn't have any, so I insisted on a physical check and they told me they had 2! :eek:

TRU info is so haphazard... really makes me miss the old days when they'd let customers go into the back rooms yourself to check palates. Yes... a friend and I used to do this -- they'd let us in there and crack cases open while still on palates and we'd pick toys straight out of them! I got one of my Transmetals that way, might've been Depth Charge. But that was in the 90s... they sure don't do that anymore. :(

You know, I've been wondering about this. Are we doing a scalpers leg work for them with these threads? I don't want to get off topic but surely there are people that only join the forum to watch the sightings thread so as to assist them in their scalping. I know I would if I was a complete toss.

If you have PM capability, it should be ok. :)
Membership ranking goes up pretty quick.

I guess the ranking can start up from 3, if stuff is getting sold out ... the ranking restriction may have to go up.

Anyway, it's just a suggestion for now.

(also a lot of The Killers, Muse, Coldplay, Red Hot Chili Peppers)

We stopped off at a lot of Targets but left Wollongong alone as we ran out of time. I'm not 100% about the HftD Hubcap I bought in Toyworld Batemans Bay, but I'll warm up when those Reprolabels come in :D

Is this during the retail golden age? :p

Sounds like a mutually beneficial endeavour - for the collector it must have been like Christmas morning (or an addict getting access to a crack lab), and for TRU it meant free slave labour ;)

Anyway, it's just a suggestion for now.

The access level to the sightings section is something that has been raised before... but it is a difficult balancing act to have the board look open and inviting enough to attract members, but not too open to have people/scalpers take advantage of it. It was suggested to have a separate section for sightings of rarer items that is only accessible by higher ranking members... but we don't have a lot of rare items that are high enough demand to attract scalpers, and it would pad out the board too much if we keep adding sections that aren't used much.

Tober
30th October 2012, 02:17 AM
There are still no listings on eBay Australia for MP Thundercracker or Optimus Prime.

It's known that scalpers and non-members use the sightings threads, but so far it's just one jerk at a fair with a MP Optimus. Not like the scalping problems we faced with the 2007 movie line.

And on the flip-side there are collectors who don't want to sign up to this site who see us as the problem, the reason they can't find stock anywhere.

Even came out here before Amazon shipped my order. So it's a great thing that Toys R Us are finally getting stuff in that people want. Maybe they might see this as a good thing too and get more.

Maybe they didn't know the codes and just grabbed a handfull... and then got home to find that they were all the same. That'd suck even more.
(I vaguely recall that the figures are all grouped together in the case, possibly from the way they are hand-packed in the factory - if that was true, you could grab several next to each other in the case and most will end up being the same figure)

Big W Blacktown have shrunk their TF section to nothing. There are a half dozen Optimus Maximus sets, a few masks and some Botshots, thats it. I'd wager that Big W will not be TF friendly in the future, probably burnt from that terrible exclusive deluxe DotM figure they bought in the squillions.

Same here, but it was a couple months ago at least, I think you'll be lucky to find any at the moment, until they get a more general release into other stores.

My friends mum works casual at Target and she said they are getting a new shipment later this week of double pack TFs... could this be Soundwaves minions ???
Hope so

I went to Macquarie Centre today... couldn't find any store named Toymates... must be new

I found it. It's down near the fresh food section. Easiest to find from the entrance near Max Brenner and the cinema. Keep an eye on the directory boards and don't go towards woolies. Considering its location I'm interested to see if this store remains open after Christmas.

You're right about it being new, one of the guys said it opened two weeks ago. Not much in there TF selection, nabbed a Knockout. One Airachnid left, a couple of deadends and plenty off Bb's - stealth and regular. And Cliffs.

x2 FOC Vortex, x1 FOC Blast Off, x1 FOC Brawl,
x2 FOC Jazz and a lot of FOC OP's

At Macquarie Centre, spotted the new FOC data disks at Myer, $14.95 each along with the prime deluxes at Toy Mates. Only one Airachnid and Knock Out, plenty of Dead Ends and Shadow Strike BBs when I left (around 12.30). Also, not TF-related but they had some of the later wave Iron Man 2 3.75" figures, grabbed an Ultimate Armour figure, no drones left though.

I have found a place that has about 5 or 6 sets of the data discs - I can pick up for people if you want but the impression I get is that arent going to be "rare" like the Masterpieces.

PM me if you want to know where.

I rang kiama toyworld yesterday. A man answered the phone, he said that the importer had run out. And that it may be weeks if not months before they got more. I certainly hope I misunderstood and that they will get more in soon.

on a second note, does anyone feel a little ripped that eject and rewind seem to be the exact same mould as frenzy and rumble...
Its like buying one toy 4 times just to get the ones you want....:eek:
