Coles Glendale has acquired the Generations Legends (Starscream, OP, Bumblebee) along with the custom Kreons (OP, Lockdown, Ratchet, Drift (gold eww)). Still have some BH Legions, (Soundwave, Bumblebee).

Target Glendale has the same boring selection as any Target has minus the Leader classes still. Millions of FoC Soundwaves and a select BH Deluxes.

Kmart Glendale has the same initial waves of the movie, even with the current refit happening.

Didn't mention this yesterday (as I figured someone else already posted about it), but I saw another Construct Bot set, this time at Target; It was the Optimus Prime/Grimlock pack, where Prime is all silver knight-y in colour, and Grimlock's dazzled out in his cancelled neon G2 goodness. ;)

Oh, and the 30th Anniversary figure/3D puzzle packs mentioned above were at The Reject Shop, too.

I Suppose the cost of importing a Takara prowl with shipping would work out to be about $100 at the moment, so in that regard it's an OK price, but when compared to the cost of a pre-ordered Takara prowl shipped from the likes of Anime-Export back when they did have stock, it's nearly double the price.

If that is as any titans as I think it is, there's no point going to the Penrith target for the next 18-24 months (not that there's been much of a point for the last 3 or so years anyway).

Any idea how much the metroplexs were? I'm still on the fence about acquiring one.

griffin
12th July 2014, 12:09 PM
I can't see any Metroplexes in that photo as they might be in another areas... it looks like all Movie stuff.
On this end along the top you have the Silver Knight Flip&Change, then below it is Construct-Bots and Kreo sets.
Further back are darker packaging, which are the small One-steps at the top and Power Battlers (you can tell by the cartoony sticker on the bubble) at the bottom three rows. There might be some "Movie Generations" toys there as well, but wouldn't be many.
In the middle under the Transformers name look to be more Silver Knight Flip&Change toys and the Mega One-step Bumblebees (the big blot of yellow).
Then at the far end it looks like the non-exclusive Flip&Change toys (more red at the bottom of the box)... leaving you with very little mainline stuff, or maybe it is in the regular Transformers section with the Metroplex toys.

Is it sad that I can recognise that sort of stuff from a small low-Res photo. :o :p

They don't appear to be moving anywhere in a hurry. :o But at least they've put them on an easier to find location though -- last week they were on the opposite side of that shelf set, which made it easy to just walk past without noticing.

More than price itself, the sheer fact that it's been around so long from Japan AND it's not exactly good value (whereas Soundwave was great value) has to be the perfect storm.

I remember the original MP Grimlock Hasbro release was on shelf for AGES. At $149.99, I know why I left it there!

I got my MP Grimlock from TRU Castle Hill too, and I could still find them relatively easily for a few months after. That toy didn't fly off shelves, but they were definitely gone by the end of that year; so I'd just rate it as a normal seller. Didn't sell like hotcakes, but not exactly a shelfwarmer either - at least, not in the TRUs that I checked out. MP Rodimus was a slower mover though - I remember TRU slashing prices for that down to $60 each and they were still plentiful. :o

P.S. TRU Parramatta has nothing new, although MP Prowl has finally sold out

Wave 2.5 Lockdown should be soon, as it was out globally in the last couple weeks.

Wave 3 Bumblebee (with Snarl and Hot Shot) is listed as October (http://www.toycollectors.com.au/bc14/bc14hd5.html), so could be out here about then as well. (in time for the DVD release of the movie)

But if you want the mould, the Evolutions 2-pack is already out here, which is exactly the same, with a bonus Legends Bumblebee.

And i suppose i should get Jetfire leader from bigbadtoys. I used to remember when i was a kid that all available transformers would be displayed on the shelfs. Now sadly there isnt much going around just old stock of a month of ago toys. What i really want is the new bumble bee and lockdown deluxes.

Jetfire is listed for a September release. As for Lockdown, we haven't received that particular Wave (Revision 2.5) in stores yet. Lockdown is packed two per case, so you shouldn't have any dramas finding one.

Ok so here's the full story - the manager thought he had MPG on the shelf when I called up about it, however when I got there it turned out to be the wrong one (Chomp & Stomp Grimlock or whatever it was). The manager was SUPER apologetic and told me he'd bear full responsibility and figure out a way of getting one to me ASAP. He was feeling so bad about it, I tried to make light conversation to ease the tension and cheer him up a little.

Meanwhile he had sent one of the workers to check on stock that were still on the pallets, and thankfully that came up with results. The waves of relief across their faces (and mine) must have been hilarious.

I only Imported mine a few weeks ago. This is a Shop that NEVER has anything good. So I picked it up and Showed my wife and said WTF is this doing here!!!

So are we getting Generations in Aus now or is this a one off kinda thing?

Brand new "ToyMate" store opened today at Glendale (Newcastle). They have Jetfire, as well as all the goldie 30th anniversary figures, romp/stomp grimlock and the usual movie fare. They also have Prime Voyagers for $20 each.

Yep We have Toy Mate too. They also have the same stock.

The New Casey Toyworld , Uncle Pete's and Toy Mate all get the same stock at the same time and sell it for the Same price.

They must all be the same chain. Have to be.

Call some stores TODAY and see if they have it and can put it away for you. Otherwise I'll pick it up from the 'riff next week.

No luck - called Hurstville and Bankstown - and went to Moore Park as well - the woman didn't even bother to check at the back.

Guess I will have to rely on you Rodent.

Some things I noted around Chatswood Westfield this arvo.

Toys R Us:
10 or so MP Prowls on the shelves
3 MP Sunstorm
3 Stomp and Chomp Grimlock (damn these things are huge!)
1 AOE Voyager Drift (DOTM Skyhammer retool) on the shelf
A couple of AOE Deluxe Bumblebee Evolutions 2-packs.
Plenty of AOE Voyager Grimlock Evolutions 2-packs.

Myer:
A few of those AOE Optimus and Grimlock Voyager 2-packs still around.
3 Optimus Prime Gaia Unicron 2-pack thingies still sitting on the shelf. (one looking pretty beaten-up)

Target:
Loads of AOE Leader Bumblebees, Optimuses and Grimlocks.
One Autobot Shield decoration/night-light thingy. (would look pretty cool on the wall behind my display case, but not for $50!!! Sheesh!)

Oh my lols. So I drive out to Penruff again and EXACTLY the same thing has happened with a completely different bunch of staff. Put the wrong item away for me, and this time they couldn't find any more on the shelf OR out the back.

But today's manager Glen (I think he's the actual store manager) promised me he'd have one for me on Monday. Then he let me have Prowl for next week's sale price of $79.99 ;)

TIL: Penrith TRU are a lovely bunch of people, but can't be relied upon for an accurate account of the stock they keep, nor be trusted to put the correct item on hold for you.

Is this an advertised sale price? Starting when?

In answer to my own question, it's in the catalogue starting Wednesday.

picked up a aoe voyager slog from toys r us campbelltown, not a bad figure at all.

they had a couple left. as well as a couple helicopter drifts. who i would highly recommend, i didnt pick 1 up as i already have skyhammer, but i know im going to be to-ing and fro-ing for a while if i should get it again, that head sculpt is too cool.

they also had a stack of MP Prowls and a single MP Sunstorm

Hey ozlee could you please post an intro thread on the intro forum? That will activate your membership and give you access to PMs, which I will need to send you some information about your new Grimlock ;)

Blacktown Big W had the second wave of hero mashers: Skyquake, Rodimus, Jetfire, but never got in wave 1...

No price, and did not come up on the scanner.

Otherwise it was a tiny and disappointing TF section, I don't think they have sold a single Constructbot, Titan or one step change figure in the last two months.

Ask for a price match next time you're there IIRC, the TrU catalogue has them listed as assorted, so it doesnt specify Slog etc.

TRU Penrith:

- 0 Masterpiece Grimlocks (lol, sorry)

Pretty sure they have plenty of all of the other advertised AoE, Construct-bots and other current-release Transformers in stock too.

Update: spotted one more MP Prowl and ONE MP GRIMMIE at the refund counter with no name attached to it! Get in quick :)

Odds are he'll start showing up more anyway. I hope. If not, I'll just resort to online anyway. I don't buy much locally anymore because of the abysmal stocking and releases here.

I saw slog and voyager Drift at toys t us and in Big w at Liverpool yesterday. Target has nothing yet and I don't think target got any yet. Lucky I picked Mp Sunstorm when I have him on reserve. Mp grimlock I don't see any. As for jetfire it cost 71.49 including shipping from BBTS which is around 76 aus. Someone says 79.99 in Uncle Petes. I think I might have to get it from BBTS.
