NSW Transformers Sightings.

[SilverDragon]

HFTD Prime and Starscream at Big W Macquarie Centre. Also spotted the movieverse Activators-Prime, 'Bee, and Megs. I do not think that the Activators concept works with movie designs. They're pretty much all shellformers with weird proportions.

Starscream was strangely located on a shelf devoted to Twilight merch. I moved him to the Transformers section so people could find it easier.

[RagingBull]

Big W wetherill park has 2 battle hooks leader prime, i picked up the last leader star scream and WFC BB. Target had alot of power core combiners, and i know alot of people have been searching for...3 Legends class devestator packs! doesnt tickle my fancy but he's there waiting for yous.

kmart stanhope had a few power cores but other than that, nothing new.

[colin78]

Cool. Lucky us! And they're only $86.

[5FDP]

There's a few Generation figs left at Big W Rouse Hill for anyone interested.

At about 10 AM this morning there was 1 x Thrust and 2 x WFC Bumblebee.

I also saw some of the new Activators, HFTD Prime and Starscream.

[Sky Shadow]

There are four Drifts pegwarming David Jones Bondi Junction.

(There are plenty of other toys too, but Drift is the only one I felt the need to insult).

[SGB]

Big W Warrawong has a bunch of the following Robot Heroes:

BW series Tigatron & BW Inferno
BM series Cheetor & Tankor
G1 series Ricochet & Predaking
G1 series Perceptor & Hardshell

Price tag was less than $6 each IIRC.

That's very odd :confused: The only sighting of these that I am aware of was at some toy warehouse sale in Sydney last year (think it was mknell that found 'em).

[1AZRAEL1]

There were a few other sightings, but there were very few. I do know about the warehouse thing you are talking about, was like a big toy sale thingy in homebush, mknell actually went to it and got some of the said figures for really cheap.

Still really suprising to see them in stores.

[mknell]

Indeed I did go to that warehouse sale thing and I got

BW series Tigatron & BW Inferno
BM series Cheetor & Tankor
G1 series Ricochet & Predaking
G1 series Perceptor & Hardshell

All for $2 each

[RagingBull]

uncle petes at castle towers has a heap of HFTD deluxes, jet fires, and 1 or 2 leader starscreams. 3 or so WFC BB and i picked up the last WFC prime i could see.

[Tiby]

Human Alliance Skids and Sideswipe at K-Mart Figtree. Sorry, there were no marked prices.

[Tiby]

PCC Rallybots and Destructicons 5 packs at Uncle Pete's Wollongong for $40

[i_amtrunks]

PCC Rallybots and Destructicons 5 packs at Uncle Pete's Wollongong for $40

Now that is a surprise! Bet bossbot would have loved to have had these guys on his trip with him.

[bassbot]

Frig, gotta get some new generations - anyone spotted any restocking at Blacktown, Rouse Hill, Castle Hill, Penrith or Parramatta areas?!?

[RagingBull]

check a couple of my posts back. you may be in luck

[GoktimusPrime]

I've been told by Big W and Kmart staff that they will be restocking for their sales.

[5FDP]

I've been told by Big W and Kmart staff that they will be restocking for their sales.

And with any luck, there will be 'new' Generation toys in that restock :D WFC Megs is meant to come out around the 1st of July.

[verboten82]

Human Alliance Skids and Sideswipe at K-Mart Figtree. Sorry, there were no marked prices.

$35 bucks its in the recent catalogue

[Badger_Mcgee]

I am still after wfc bumble bee and another drift as I got mine signed by shane last week at nova.

[sanbot]

Was in Woy Woy over the weekend. Kmart had all the Human Alliance's at $35.

Several HFTD prime and one starscream at $88.

[GoktimusPrime]

David Jones CBD has lots of WFC Optimus Primes, Bumblebees, Thrusts and Drifts. Also spotted Deluxe Ironhide and that Dirge repaint at Target Rhodes

[Tober]

Night Ops Ratchet, Battleblade Bumblebee, Ironhide and Jetblade are at Carlingford Target.

[LordCyrusOmega]

kmart shellharbour square has buster prime & Jetfiredouble packs,HA skids, sideswipe and bumblebee, leader class starscream and battle hook prime.

i nearly died when i walked in...so empty for so long

[RagingBull]

BIG W wetherill park has a tonne of stuff. alot of the new HFTD stuff, no leader Starscream though.

has anyone seen the huge devastator at target, i was going to head out to blacktown tmoro and check if they had any.

[chuttla]

You didnt happen to see Generations Thrust at wetherill park? im having trouble locating this guy locally:(

[mknell]

You didnt happen to see Generations Thrust at wetherill park? im having trouble locating this guy locally:(

Plumpton had 1 left, also I have seen a few at Toys'r'us Parra

[RagingBull]

You didnt happen to see Generations Thrust at wetherill park? im having trouble locating this guy locally:(

i have seen him around i just cannot put my finger on him where i have seen him. he doesnt really interest me so i havnt paid much attention to him.
sorry mate

[RagingBull]

just dropped by Blacktown shops

big W alot of new HFTD deluxes and PCC
target alot of HFTD stuff, and LEADER STARSCREAM!!!
kmart alot of HFTD stuff, and LEADER STARSCREAM!!! and supreme devastator

picked up devy for 87 and its well worth it!!! :D

just take the target sighting with a grain of salt. im guessing their sale hasnt started yet, devy there was $150 and they wouldnt price match even though i had the kmart catalogue with me. oh well their loss.

my recommendation is to pop into kmart for the best prices

happy hunting

[chuttla]

Plumpton had 1 left, also I have seen a few at Toys'r'us Parra

cool, i might try swing by plumpton Big W tomorrow morning.

[chuttla]

missed it :(.

[mknell]

missed it :(.

Damm, I'm stopping by toys'r'us today I'll let you know if they have some

[GoktimusPrime]

David Jones CBD has Generations Thrust as well as Drift and WFC Optimus Prime and Bumblebee - they're kinda shelfwarming (prolly cos everyone would rather get them on sale at Kmart or Big W). But yeah, if you're desperate check out CBD DJs and you can get 'em at full RRP. They also had Leader Starscream too. Again I predict it'll shelf warm there while their competitors are having sales.

Btw, the Kmart sale doesn't cover new Transformers. Only old ones. Combiner Class Devvy would be on sale there, but I don't think Leader Starscream is. If you want a cheap Leader Starscream then I'd recommend checking out Big W (then go to Kmart if you can't find it and you're still desperate :)). I've seen Leader Starscream at Target too - again at full RRP (their Toy Sale doesn't start until the 22th* of this month)

-------------------------
*"Twenty-tooth" ;)

I didn't realise leader starscream was on sale at bigw?!

[GoktimusPrime]

I didn't check as I'm not interested in that toy, but Big W has some TFs on sale which Kmart doesn't, e.g. Deluxe HFTDs, PCC 5-packs. I assumed that Starscream was also on sale too at Big W but tbh I didn't actually check.

[chuttla]

cool, thanks guys. :)

[jazzcomp]

there's a starscream on sale at big w but i think it's voyager class. Leader class Prime and Megatron on sale as well as Devastator.

[ike_ike]

Rallybots and Destructicons at Castle Towers Uncle Pete's. $40 each though.

Also, mighty muggs 20% off at myer. Soundwave, Bumblebee, Starscream, Grimlock, if that floats your boat.

Uh no. No they're not.

The Rallybots and Destructicons (The cons rock btw) are $29.99 and there's 10% off if you have a loyalty card.

I'm going back to my self imposed exile now.

Really? So I DIDN'T have to wait. Ffffuuuuuuuu. How's the articulation on the Rallybot commander? He looked a little chunky.

[i_amtrunks]

Lots of hunt for the decepticon deluxes, Voyagers and even a Leader Starscream at Blacktown Big W, also had a solid block of bonus pack Optimus Prime.

Kmart Blacktown had a leader Starscream and a few other items, including HA Sideswipe, Bee, and Skids, but otherwise nothing else worth reporting.

[tron07]

I havent seen any WFC toys in the stores yet...dang

[1AZRAEL1]

I havent seen any WFC toys in the stores yet...dang

Prime and BB came out a bit over a month ago. Be hard to find them now, they seemed to have sold pretty well.

[5FDP]

There is a WFC Prime at Big W Plumpton (@ 12.30 PM today) if you are interested. They also had Drift and Thrust (1 of each).

[i_amtrunks]

Sold well, there were two of all figures (bar Thrust, got my one) all of 30 hours ago.

Funny how well transformers sell when they are not Movie based (bet Ravages will line shelves for months)

[tron07]

I saw all 4 of the WFC figures at David Jones .... lot of stock but price at almost $30

[jazzcomp]

Any sightings of animated leader class TFs?

[Tober]

I saw all 4 of the WFC figures at David Jones .... lot of stock but price at almost $30

How do you mean "all 4 of the WFC figures"? Have you seen WfC Soundwave and WfC Megatron? Or were you referring to Drift and Thrust.

[1AZRAEL1]

I think he may have meant the Generations figures. At least I hope so, otherwise I gotta head out and put some on layby :p

[sanbot]

Definately none at DJ CBD.

[Sky Shadow]

Definately none at DJ CBD.

There are always some at Bondi Junction David Jones if anyone really wants them.

[SuspectimusPrime]

Prime and BB came out a bit over a month ago. Be hard to find them now, they seemed to have sold pretty well.

TRU Parramatta still had all 4 of them when I last checked earlier this week. Look above the shelves where the Transformers are kept. There were one of each shoved into the back where no staff member bothered to take down.

[Hursticon]

TRU Wollongong floor stock as of 11:30am (01/08/10):

[SuspectimusPrime]

Those are good prices for Animated deluxes!

Too bad theres barely anything available to price match nearby to where I live!

[jazzcomp]

which TRU in NSW has the most stocks of animated deluxe?

[King Atlas]

Wasn't interested before, but I couldn't resist the price. I scanned a ROTF Mindwipe for $23.00 at K-mart Nepean Square. Around three remain. I had to get one, since it was such a great deal. Very nice figure afterall :)

[liegeprime]

which TRU in NSW has the most stocks of animated deluxe?

NOt so sure, but the one in Castle hill was pretty stocked when I was there about 2 months ago - there arent any buyers on the floor too, so Im thinking their stock hasnt/wont move for quite some time. Also their shelf was packed like , really I guess since no ones buying , its still quite full looking :p:D

[Vector Prime]

I've been out of the loop for awhile in terms of TF collecting/releases - has Wave 2 of the Generation Deluxes been released yet?

[5FDP]

Not yet. Should be very soon though :D

Cheers mate

[1AZRAEL1]

Not yet. Should be very soon though :D

Part me hopes so, but part of me not :p I want them, but can't afford thematm. Layby seems the best option though :D

[Hursticon]

Part me hopes so, but part of me not :p I want them, but can't afford thematm. Layby seems the best option though :D

It sure does, but with the recent sightings of MP Grimlock showing up at US and Canadian retail it sure is going to be hard to put anything on layby at TRU Aus seems they don't wanna do that anymore! :mad:

[tron07]

How do you mean "all 4 of the WFC figures"? Have you seen WfC Soundwave and WfC Megatron? Or were you referring to Drift and Thrust.

yeah.... I included Drift and Thrust, even though there arent WFC... heheh:p

[GoktimusPrime]

Uncle Petes Blacktown has the new Legends wave (e.g. Sandstorm, Tracker Hound, Long Haul etc.) and Star Wars TFs (e.g. Yoda, Rex/Freeco Speeder etc)

[Seraphim Prime]

It sure does, but with the recent sightings of MP Grimlock showing up at US and Canadian retail it sure is going to be hard to put anything on layby at TRU Aus seems they don't wanna do that anymore! :mad:

They haven't done laybys for a good few years. :(

I remember trying to put the entire first wave of Animated on Layby there, as they were the first to get it in, but no luck sadly. Which was unfortunate, as I had a $350 camp to pay for in the coming weeks. Luckily my tax return had just gone through, and I got a tidy little return. :)

Didn't see much :( 1 swindle and 1 blackarachnia

[liegeprime]

Didn't see much :( 1 swindle and 1 blackarachnia


Hmmm:(:(:( sorry to hear that, mustve rearranged their shelves already as I mentioned that was 2 months ago. I never thought they'd do since the TRU branch at Parramatta barely gets re-arranging, its always a bombsite with barely anything new when I go there. Assumed it was the same for every other store:o

Which figs are you after still though?

[morg176]

dont know if this has already been reported, but i saw several movie minicon devastators [not the green/purple one] at target shellharbour [they are in a clear box packaging].

they were retailing for about $50 each

[5FDP]

Sighted and bought at Castle Hill TRU - Masterpiece Grimlock.

Price is $149.99 which I had no problem paying cause I've been waiting on this guy forever.

Here's photographic proof :D

If you can't find it on the shelves, ask a store assistant to check out the back for you. That's how I grabbed mine.

[GoktimusPrime]

They haven't done laybys for a good few years. :(
A few months ago I got Voyager Sea Spray through Lay-By... it was only the second time I've ever gotten Transformers through lay by, before then I got Apeface and Snapdragon on Lay-By in 1987. So I had a 23 year gap between lay-bys -- beat that! :cool:

Oh yeah, I saw PCC Mudslinger at kmart Castle Hill. They were at full RRP, so I passed them. (-_-)

[sanbot]

They weren't out on display?

[5FDP]

They weren't out on display?

Nope.

[liegeprime]

Hmmm figures, with TRU its either they've got oodles of stuff which no one wants on the shelves - e.g. Those freaking useless Movie scene turnarounds thingies.... or they don't put the good stuff which everyone wants which leaves the shelves bare (with them turnarounds still there trying desperately to be flogged off to some poor unsuspecting chap)..... Makes you wonder how come they're still in business, sheesh!:p some other toy sections must be compensating really hard heheeh:D

I wonder when will they FINALLY and officially roll it out on the shelves? At least though when you got it 5FDP it has a price and is i the system. How frustrating would it be if - they wont sell it to you coz its o punched in the system yet..... as some stories Ive heard here, it happens. Its here yet so unattainable.

Oh my..., that is awesome, I am now going to have to find a way out to Wollongong to see if TRU has them down here, the shelves were bare as hell before (looking like prep for a restock) so hopefully these beauties will be gracefully waiting. :D
Though with TRU Wollongong, I don't like our chances :p

Just to confirm I rang Castle Hil TRU this morning to confirm that they had this guy in stock, AND THEY DID! I've got them holding one for me until tomorrow when I'll be able to go in and pick him up. :D

[mknell]

They make a stack of their money from their babies'r'us section

Yeah but Grimlock's teeth scratch... ;)

Went to Castle Hill TRU today and indeed they did have an ample amount of MP Grimlocks - there were a bunch of them at an end cap, and some more inside the actual TF aisle.

[i_amtrunks]

Kmart Mt Druitt has done the usual, with a massive restock to newer items, but all of them have been out for over a month in Big W and other stores.
Generations deluxes, HftD deluxes, voyagers, legends etc and wave 1 powercore combiners.

[jazzcomp]

5 packs were the one that I saw.

[Sharky]

not really a sighting but in my lunch time walk chatswood toys r us has a big Star Wars/Transformers store display at the front + the security covers with the HFTD logos on them,

was a large space with not alot of stock in it spread out to look full so perhaps there is a restock coming!

[i_amtrunks]

TRU Penriff has moved alot of newer stock to the entrance area, MP Grimlocks (3), HftD deluxes and Voyagers, Drifts, Thrusts etc, as well as PCC 5 packs (wave 1 and 2) weer all there, as well as having some animated and other movie stock in the normal TF section.

Prices were all normal TRU, overpriced, $150 for Grimmy, $40 for the PCC 5 packs, $30 for the HftD and Classics/Universe/Generations deluxes.

[LordCyrusOmega]

Uncle petes wollongong has wave 2 PCC 5 packs. Plus a lot of older stuff eg cybertron Red Alert and Dirt Boss.

Shellharbour Square K-Mart has restocked Generations and HFTD deluxes.
Also has 3 pack Warriors from 3 Worlds and Battle in the Desert Pack.

TRU has Masterpiece Grimlock.

Apart from that there isn'y anything happening in the Illawarra.

Just as a question my Lord, :p, what waves of Generations has Kmart stocked? Please say wave 2 :o

[LordCyrusOmega]

We should be so lucky. No, Still wave 1. Not happy. Toyworld Kiama got them earlier then everywhere else here so will be checking later today to see if they've restocked yet. I wouldn't hold your breath though.

[verboten82]

:) I'ts the closest TRU to me. It's on the original aisle on the covered top shelf where they are stocked/hidden. I saw just one left. I put it back there in case someone on the forum wants to chase it down.


i was just there at lunch and they had about 8 HA jazz on the shelf
Wow, wonder where they kept them yesterday. Is that the front display or on the original TF aisle?

[Sharky]

:) I'ts the closest TRU to me. It's on the original aisle on the covered top shelf where they are stocked/hidden. I saw just one left. I put it back there in case someone on the forum wants to chase it down.

In The original Aisle, they didnt have any at the front. they were on the shelf and stacked on the floor.

Castle Hill Uncle Petes has lots of early Animated Deluxes that they're selling for $19.99 each.

My Animated Swindle has had an arm issue that I've been unable to fix. I don't suppose he'd be part of the Deluxes at Uncle Pete's though, would he?

Also keen to get my hands on a RotF Gears. Didn't initially want him as I already had stockade, but after getting Brawl, I liked the idea of getting renewed mini-bots. :) I don't suppose they're at Castle Hill though. :(

Prowl, Cyb mode Optimus, Bumblebee and Lockdown. No tech specs on the back just the "galactic powers" stats in multiple languages.

Ooh! I didn't notice the variant packaging!

...still doesn't entice to buy one though, but I guess now we know where this excess stock of Wave 1 Animated Deluxes are coming from :p

[LordCyrusOmega]

Big W in Dapto Had HFTD Hailstorm. ad thats it for the Illawarra. They did have one Elita-1 but i brought it. In hindsight this hast been that helpful.

Not many left now. Looks to be mostly Bumblebees and Lockdowns.

BTW everyone may want to know that the Target in Castle Towers is selling TFA voyager figures for $20!

[GoktimusPrime]

Saw Hufft'd Terradive and Tomahawk at Target Rhodes today.

[Zippo]

OH!! Where is Rhodes in relation to the CBD?

I have going to have to try and find Terradive and Tomahawk while in Sydney. Unless someone wants to snap them up for me and bring them to the meet. (might be a dangerous suggestion though, just incase I do find them myself - I dont need doubles)

[GoktimusPrime]

Rhodes is approx. 17km north of Sydney CBD. You should be able to get there by catching a train from Central to Rhodes on the Northern Line.

Just a word of caution: Don't go to Rhodes on a weekend as the parking can be horrendous because Sydney's only Ikea is located there!

[jazzcomp]

Uncle Pete's sale of TFA - Deluxe Prime, Bumblebee, Lockdown and Prowl - $19.99

Any other target sightings for new HFTD TFs? None in Castle Hill/Macquarie Park

[Tober]

A few HA Jazzs and Voyager Bludgeons at TRU Parramatta.

Also MANY HA Bumblebees and Generations wave 1. MANY.

[Fungal Infection]

Terradive, Tomahawk and Electrostatic Jolt sighted at Target Liverpool. Only 1 Terradive and 2 Jolts left.

[GoktimusPrime]

SMHFConvoy: I always go to Rhodes shopping centre on weekends... parking there is okay... just don't park near Ikea. :) Anyway, I think Zippo is planning on training it in and there's a bridge from Rhodes station that connects to the shopping centre.

[dirge]

2x Megatron & Straxus (Darkmount) at Fraser's Cycles. I nabbed both Straxi yesterday, but left a Megatron if anyone in/around the Shire is after him.

[Zippo]

Why does a bike store stock Transformers?

[dirge]

Frasers full name is "Fraser's Cycles & Toys". A long time ago they used to be known as Toyworld Cronulla, but thet relinquished the franchise & moved to Taren Point.

[jazzcomp]

how much were they? Will they re-stock?

[Sharky]

WHAT: Tomahawk, Terradive, Electrostatic Jolt

I was actualy thinking of going there to have a look on Sunday, that Straxus could have been mine!!!!!!!! :mad:

Ah well this means he should be showing up elswhere soon so all good.;)

[dirge]

$30, and probably not.

[optimus1]

Have been away from the forums a bit lately :o

But great early sightings! Can't wait to see the new Generations figs out in the chain stores soon :D

I've always found shopping centres built by Mirvac to be incredibly hard to find parking in. You must be blessed by the deities of retail ;)

[Zippo]

(Hey, I can add a sighting - can;t be bothered checking to see if any ready added though)

Myer, Sydney CBD has the Hailstorm wave of HFTD Deluxes. $35AU each (thats over $40NZ for anyone wanting to know)

[Zippo]

TRU Miranda was just putting out the Green Legends Devy on the shelf as I called in. $60AU

[dirge]

Yeah I saw that Dev at TRU Miranda tonight as well, although I didn't price it. I was looking for Terradive (whom I can't seem to find).

[5FDP]

TRU Miranda was just putting out the Green Legends Devy on the shelf as I called in. $60AU

Typical... Target had the original legends Devastator for $49. A repaint is not worth an extra $10 IMO. That's over $8.50 bucks each for a legends size toy :eek:

[fatbot]

Target Bondi has Terradive & Tomahawk for $28 each
Myer Bondi has Elita-1, Hailstorm, Sidearm Sideswipe & Tuner Skids for $25 each (on sale - down from $35)

[i_amtrunks]

Since Target Penrith had nothing new (or new for months) last night, I ducked into Target St Mary's on my way home from Uni, and found hey have restocked.

Terradive (one left) and two of Jolt, Tomahawk and lots of Bumblebees, as well as Hailstorm, SIdeswipe, Elita-1 and Skids all for $28.

Plus all the other movie crap that will sit on shelves forever.

[Zippo]

Only seen Terradive and Tomahawk at Chatswood and Bondi Junction (and at Bondi they have shoved them onto a shelf that was far too small and creased the card backs)

Might have seen them at another location, possibly Macquarie

With the current exchange rate though between Australia and New Zealand ($1AU = $1.30NZ) its too expensive for me to purchase anything while on holiday. How I want the new deluxes, as well as a few non TF items, but just can't justify them

If Big W Dapto has them, then it is only a matter of hours, maybe days, before you guys should start seeing them.
(I wonder if Australia's Transformers Stocks are imported via Port Kembla?)

I found them in Target at St Mary's. I'd check Target first, thats where alot of the sightings have been. Chances are we will see them in other stores soon, always seems one chain gets them, then a few weeks later filters into the others (like TRU).

Big W Chullora has Generations wave 2. There were lots of Bumblebees and Primes but after I took a Straxus and Megatron, there are only one of each of those toys left.

Judging by the other sightings, there appears to have been a Sydney wide release of Generations wave 2 at Big W.

Tomahawk and Terradive were at Target Wetherill Park and Liverpool last week (grabbed mine at Liverpool), and Darkmount and WFC Megatron were at Big W Bonnyrigg and Wetherill Park as well when I grabbed them last Wednesday. Grabbed Hailstorm and Sidearm Sideswipe at Myer Liverpool last week and saw them at Myer Bankstown as well. So they are out, you just have to be quick. :D

Well, I need the Insecticons too - but until they release CHUGU versions of those I'll just have to use my G1s. :)

Spotted Terradive at Target Hurstville on Saturday, so they might have more of him (& Tomahawk), tho I was in a rush, just grabbed one Terradive & went on my way..

Shellharbour square kmart has generations cybertron megatron and darkmount.

[crazyandy1982]

Was at Bondi Junction Target yesterday. They had some of the new wave toys like jolt/insecticon/tomahawk.

AND NO TERRADIVE.

I've been lurking this thread for years. First time i'm having trouble getting a figure...

[1AZRAEL1]

We'll keep an eye out. If I spot any out my way I will post it.

Generations Darmount and Cybertronian Megs at Big W Blacktown.

Still full price, even though they are meant to be on sale. Also only had Heavy Load voyagers, plus plenty of Movie and Animated deluxes (Swindle and Blazing Lockdown) and Movie Prime's with Camshafts.

[griffin]

Generations Darmount and Cybertronian Megs at Big W Blacktown.

Still full price, even though they are meant to be on sale.

Their catalogue wording implies all 'Deluxes' are on sale, but the intended assortment/series (reflected by their computer system), is just the yellow-packed Autobot Alliance.
Arguing this negligent, generic catalogue terminology with BigW staff, just has them stating the specific intention of the catalogue... :(

Won't stop me from trying though, as they deserve to be penalised for their vagueness/laziness.

It'd be like using a generic term/product and then claiming it was only covers a specific series/brand... it boarders on misleading or ambiguous advertising - something that could be ruled against them if reported (but who's gonna make a fuss about $20 toys?).

I disagree completely.

It's a lot to expect that a store, which carries the diversity of stock that Big W does, to be expected to know the difference. I can picture the catalog creation staff looking at a yellow packaged transformer trying to find ANY text to identify or differentiate it, and realizing that the ONLY text on the front (besides Transformers) is the phrase "Deluxe Class".

Do you feel it was lazy that they didn't use the phrase, "Autobot Alliance"? Are you suggesting that their lack of knowledge of that nomenclature is what is "deserving of penalization"? What better way is there to identify an item besides putting a picture of it in the catalog?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not passing ethical judgement here. I'm renown for working such loopholes (which is what this is), in addition to being accused of being unethical as a result. But there's really nothing more that Big W could have done to make it more clearer beyond the photo.

[fatbot]

Toys r us Castle Hill has a couple WFC Megs and Darkmounts + some PCC Icepicks & Sledge & the Slight repaint of PCC Huffer.

If you're after Terradive or Tomahawk, I have spares of both, MISB, which I was about to refund (got them for a friend who changed his mind). If you're interested, take them off my hands for $30 each. Just PM me to confirm. Otherwise I'll be returning them Monday.

Nah. I'm getting just as annoyed that Banzaitron and Optimus haven't been seen anywhere in my area, or at the majors, despite being first sighted a couple months ago.

[GoktimusPrime]

I also spotted Starscream's Assault and The Fury of Bonecrusher (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/4/2/0/1/1/Hunt-For-The-Decepticons-Walmart-2-Packs-01_1285452174.jpg) at Blacktown Target yesterday too.

I went after work and got there at 8pm. Considering how insanely buzzed the rest of the centre was, it was a slow Thurs shopping night for DJs.

[SMHFConvoy]

I saw 2x Generations Red Alert and 1x WFC Soundwave ('cause I bought the other) at Castle Towers DJ's on Thursday

[Sharky]

Was up in Burwood today

I hear you dude, one can easily go mad trying to find anything round here, but, in certain cases we do have it better than others. :o

I agree though, you'd think that with being so close to Sydney, having one of the largest ports in the country and the amount of stores we have here - that we'd be able to have the pick of the crop. :(
