[5FDP]

Found some Warriors From Three Worlds (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8686) (3-pack) and Legends Desert Decimation (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8685&highlight=Decimation) (4-Pack) at Stanhope Gardens today.

They also had a Buster Prime / Jetfire (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8379&highlight=Buster) 2-pack on the top shelf.

[LordCyrusOmega]

Big W Dapto has had a fairly reasonable restock of TFs all round, on a Generations note though:

Generations
3x WFC Bumblebees
2x WFC Optimus Primes
3x WFC Megatrons
1x Darkmount

I'll try and get some pics of their floor stock tomorrow.

any of the newer waves Hursty? Or just what you listed

[Hursticon]

any of the newer waves Hursty? Or just what you listed

That's exactly why I looked dude, to see if there were any new waves but alas, there weren't any at all. :(

I intend to post a more comprehensive run down of what Big W Dapto have tomorrow, hopefully with pics too. ;)

[LordCyrusOmega]

That'll be cool. Save me a wasted trip

[Paul Agnew]

Target Penrith has a stack of every Generations figure (including Soundwave and Red Alert) for a bank-busting $28 each (though considering other stores, it might not be a bad purchase) if anyone's interested.

There you go guys, I hope that helps someone as it took me an hour - standing there like a prat tallying every peg and shelf (Bar Powerbots and Face Masks - who really cares?) whilst Big W staff worked around me, lol, but everything that was on the floor is listed and judging by how packed the TF section is - I don't think they'll be restocking for a while. :(

[5FDP]

Bloody heck Hursty :eek: That's some serious homework you did there! They probably thought you were a rep from Hasbro :p

[GoktimusPrime]

saw _lots_ of Terradives at Kmart Parramatta, TRU Parramatta and Kmart Blacktown.

Parra TRU also had Cybertronian Megatron and Darkmount.

[LordCyrusOmega]

Thanks for that Hursticon. Saved me a trip. Fingers crossed there is new stock somewhere around here in the next week or so.

[Hursticon]

Bloody heck Hursty :eek: That's some serious homework you did there! They probably thought you were a rep from Hasbro :p

Cheers 5FDP :D
They may well of thought so, though I think the Ozzy shirt may of been a give away. ;):p


Thanks for that Hursticon. Saved me a trip. Fingers crossed there is new stock somewhere around here in the next week or so.

No probs Lord Cyrus, I know how frustrating it can be to make the effort to go out to these stores in the search for things only to be presented with absolutely nothing at all...
(TRU Wollongong, cough, TRU Wollongong, cough-cough)

But as I said, I hope people find this useful. :)

[Paul Agnew]

Lockdown: 8

So that's why I can't find any Lockdowns. The only figures I've come across are swarms of Bumblebees and Ratchets. :(

[Hursticon]

[jazzcomp]

In my area, it's only scorponok, ravage, mudflap, bumblebee. :(

Do want lockdown and Dead End. I was going to price match ratchet at Myer but when i came back with the catalogue, ratchet was gone :(

[GoktimusPrime]

saw Oilpan at Target Blacktown

[LordCyrusOmega]

Shellharbour Square Target has Speed Stars Stealth Force (is that right?) Bumblebee, Megatron, Soundwave, Hound and Jazz.

Shellharbour Square K-Mart have AA Legends Tracker Hound and Sandstorm.

Apart from that they have just re-shelfed old stock like generations, PCC and AA

So still nothing out your way either dude? :(
1AZRAEL1 checked out Kiama Toy World too and they had absolutely nothing either...
Will have to checkout Wollongong when I get the opportunity. :o

[LordCyrusOmega]

I pop into Toyworld Kiama every other day and apart from one time i went in there and they had wave 1 PCC they never have anything.

[Fungal Infection]

HFTD Rescue Ratchet and Axor spotted at Myer Bankstown.

[1AZRAEL1]

I pop into Toyworld Kiama every other day and apart from one time i went in there and they had wave 1 PCC they never have anything.

Yea Kiama Toyworld had sweet FA when I went in there last Friday.

Still can't find Red Alert, and it's annoying me because I want to complete my cars :(

[liegeprime]

Kmart Blacktown - That yellow jet with the trident and that Black helicopter - about 5 of each since yesterday, sorry forgot the names:o:o

[fatbot]

Kmart Blacktown - That yellow jet with the trident TERRADIVE and that Black helicopter TOMAHAWK- about 5 of each since yesterday, sorry forgot the names:o:o

[GoktimusPrime]

HOW MUCH: $249.99

[optimus1]

WHAT: TT MP-3g - Ghost Starscream
WHERE: Toys R Us Liverpool NSW
HOW MUCH: $249.99

:eek::confused::eek:

Even it was at $149.99 it would be a bit too much!

But still, great to see some exclusives. A big pity on the price though

[Dkaris]

toys r us miranda ghost MP starscream, also human alliance bumblebee and jazz and hasbro MP grimlock.

on a side note, had to sell a woman one of the legends devastators today for $28 because idiot night fill didnt remove the SPL. >_>

[1AZRAEL1]

1AZRAEL1: David Jones Castle Hill still had a Red Alert as of yesterday. Try there?

Too far outta my way to go for just one figure. Thanks though.

Fatbot found one for me and picked him up for me now anyway, now I just have to wait for the next fair. All good.

[FFN]

COMEDY, TRU. COMEDY.

[sifun]

i absolutely hate it when hasbro pump out exclusives to Toys R us.
Remember the commemorative series reissues? Jazz was 100 bucks.

[GoktimusPrime]

Remember the commemorative series reissues? Jazz was 100 bucks.
Oh yeah... I love how Toys R Us were selling G1 reissues at prices that were MORE expensive than what it would cost to import Takara reissues from Japan (even including the cost of shipping!) You could even buy Japanese G1 reissues from local import stores - and even their hyper inflated import prices were comparable to TRU's prices (sometimes even cheaper)!

...little wonder the Hasbro reissues shelfwarmed so badly (they eventually got rid of their dead stock by severely slashing prices - and even then the stock moved slowly (probably because most people had already purchased the Japanese reissues by then)).

But perhaps this means Hasbro AU might be willing to import more Japanese MPs (e.g. MP Rodimus Convoy?)... on one hand I'd like to see people supporting Hasbro AU in importing more Japanese MPs, but on the other hand I already have 2 different versions of MP Starscream as well as MP Thundercracker and Skywarp... so I'm not prepared to shell out $250 for Ghost Starscream. :/

I prefer seeing Target getting Japanese MPs... they tend to offer more reasonable prices.

[1AZRAEL1]

Seen ROTF Banzaitron (Bludgeon repaint) at Hobbyco in Rhodes shopping centre near Ikea for $59.95

[mknell]

Was just in Kmart Parra, they got 2 Red Alrets & 2 WFC Soundwaves left $25 each, my patience was finally rewarded lol

[GoktimusPrime]

Graargh! I was in Parramatta today, but I was in a rush and didn't check Kmart! :( I did look at TRU though and saw Ghost MP Starscream there.

[liegeprime]

Graargh! I was in Parramatta today, but I was in a rush and didn't check Kmart! :( I did look at TRU though and saw Ghost MP Starscream there.

I have this distinct feeling that the Illawarra is never going to see Wave 3 or 4 of Generations. :(

I. like others down here, want to get my hands on Red Alert, Blurr, Soundwave - but if I miss out on a Generations Dirge... (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOfFgycK6fE)

[GoktimusPrime]

uhm hello, i did tell you yesterday... i was there when i called....ah well, your likely to find him soon, now that kmarts are stocking back up.:)
I remember you telling me Red Alert was there... don't remember you telling me about Soundwave. :confused: :( Then again I was in a real hurry... and pain (just seen the dentist)

[GoktimusPrime]

Yesterday I saw Deluxe Rescue Ratchet and Human Alliance Shadowblade Sideswipe w/ Mikaela at Myer Parramatta. Anyone interested in getting that Sideswipe but not interested in keeping Mikaela please LMK. :)

[morg176]

if anyone is looking there was a generations WFC soundwave at target shellharbour, but it was a day or two ago. good luck

[liegeprime]

I remember you telling me Red Alert was there... don't remember you telling me about Soundwave. :confused: :( Then again I was in a real hurry... and pain (just seen the dentist)

I didnt tell you there was a soundwave - coz there was only 1 there - and I bought it, so technically there wasnt anymore :p

Yeah, that'd be right - just after I've finished, last week :p, placing an order for an entire Generations Wave 4 case from RobotKingdom. :rolleyes::p

[jazzcomp]

Didn't see MP-GhostSS in TRU Chatswood. But I did see HA Jazz at the top shelf covered. At least two.

Saw the PCC 5 Skyburst value pack. There's a free TF bag for TF purchases $40 & over.

No mate sorry, haven't been out that way in a while. :o


Kmart Warrawong has the 48 piece G1 Devastator and Seeker Puzzles, 6 or so of each type as it would seem, according to the price tag, that there is currently only 2 types available. :)
Here is hoping that more are produced. :D

Ah cool.

I have to say i didn't really see any. But I wasn't particularly looking for them. I think North Rocks had quite a few. But as I said, it wasn't what I was loiking for, so didn;t really pay too close attention.

[GoktimusPrime]

Spotted the Wave 3 2-pack PCCs at TRU Castle Hill tonight. Wow... they really look underwhelming compared to the heavily doctored photos from Hasbro. (o_O)

[jazzcomp]

Shellharbour Square Kmart have wave 2 PCC. Not many though.

[GoktimusPrime]

Saw Axor today at Myer... was just about the buy it when the absurd price of $35 came up, so I quickly changed my mind about that purchase! Eep!! :eek:

[tron07]

Anyone seen Revenge of the Fallen Gears in BigWs Syd before?
I saw a lot of em in Melbourne CBD BigW and now regret I didnt grab it for $12.

[GoktimusPrime]

Not Big W, but I've seen them at Uncle Petes, especially in Blacktown. But I haven't checked in a while.

Kmart Parramatta had lots of Generations Blurr and Dirge today

[dirge]

tron, I did see Gears aaages ago in a Big W. Long gone now, though.

[gdmetro]

Not Big W, but I've seen them at Uncle Petes, especially in Blacktown. But I haven't checked in a while.

[The Scream Man]

Target in Chatswood had Dirge, but no Blurr.

[LordCyrusOmega]

Kmart Shellharbour Square had Generations Blurr and Dirge but restock Wave 1 and 2. Also had PCC wave 3 2-packs and restock of wave 2 2-packs plus restocked AA/HFTD

[tron07]

Cheers... was only interested with this figure due to the cheap price, else probably would give it a miss.... Skip most of the ROTF range.

Will try to get Blurr and Dirge tongiht

[gdmetro]

Just came back from Kmart Parramatta. There were 3 blurrs left when I got there and tonnes of Generations Wave 1, 2 and 3 soundwave/megs/red alert/ bbees and Prime. There were like 6 Dirges there- Didnt get one since Ive already ordered one from RK.

Cherry picked the best Blurr in terms of scratches/ blemishes- and satisfied. So 2 Blurr left.

Now.. off to work to earn back my Blurr figure.

[Hursticon]

Big W Dapto has restocked their Generations figures... with Wave 2!?! :mad:

They've also changed the shelves around, with TF's now having significantly smaller shelf space and half of that being taken up by non-transforming TF merchandise and Activator/RPM Stealth crap! :mad:

[5FDP]

Campbelltown's just awesome in general. I picked up some Hasbro reissues from the TRU long after they had disappeared from other metro TRU stores. It was almost like stepping back in time :p

Battle Ops BumbleeBee for $49 at Kmart... value for money for such a big toy

[Paul Agnew]

Toys R Us Penrith has all Wave 5 Generations (Cliffjumper, Thunderwing, Skullgrin), plus all Wave 3 PCC 2-packs at their regular overpriced sale points.

Better hurry up if you want to get that last Thunderwing. Sold like hotcakes even at $30. :p

That is really good value.

This may seem like an odd question, but does anyone know the dimensions of the box?

Sons of asses. I don't have the money to get them. Hopefully Big W will have some so I can layby them.

Looking to replace my Ultimate Bumblebee with him but the box would have to be of the same size (or close to it) because he's 'load bearing' ;)

[Paul Agnew]

Sons of asses. I don't have the money to get them. Hopefully Big W will have some so I can layby them.

When last checked, Big W only had the Wave 3 (plus a few old Wave 1) PCC's. Though I doubt they're still available if how fast Wave 2 sold was anything to go by.

Perhaps more will show up by the dozens in a month. Like Megatron and Darkmount did. ;)

I doubt we'd be significant enough, or even known enough for businesses to offer us a discount as an incentive to shop with them. You could ask them if they are even aware of us, or if they offer discounts.
Uncle Petes already has a loyalty club/membership offer (http://www.unclepetes.com.au/loyalty_club.html)though.

Yes that's it, it was found at another independent in QLD (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=190378&postcount=65).

3/4's of it is empty space, and the games aren't very good. The figurines are the only decent thing of the set.

Hmmm... interesting. I was there a couple of days ago and there were none to be found (referring to the Animated voyagers).

[Eazy D]

Had a really good experience today.

Went to bankstown toys R Us. 1 legends RTS megatron was left on the shelves [I was after prime and megs] but someone picked it up just as i was walking towards it. They were obviously getting it for their kid and I couldn't really do anything about it. I asked the checkout dude if he had anymore out the back and all he could offer me was to look at the replenishment shelves above the display area.......

Guess what i found!

1 case of RTS legends. the case had 1 megs, 2 X primes, 2 X bumblebee 1 starscream [painted head].

I took the megs and 1 prime and stashed the rest behind some HFTD legends if anyone is interested.

Looks like Megs is being short-packed. I felt so ecstatic having narrowly lost out on a toy and then having such good fortune afterwards!:D

[5FDP]

That's awesome Eazy D. I'm still trying to find me a painted-head Starscream. I'm lucky to be tall enough that I don't need to ask the staff to check for me up the top, I just help myself :D

Woolworths are actually quite good at stocking Transformers. I bought my Animated and Cybertron legends from there. Also picked up the Universe Constructicons a while back. Good to see there may be another option to TRU.

[GoktimusPrime]

Woolworths also had exclusive Transmetal Spittor and Claw Jaw with 'transforming' drinking glasses... in the UK. :p :p

Okay, on a more serious note, I've seen Decepticon Banzaitron at HobbyCo Rhodes and Myer CBD if anyone feels like dropping $60 for either of them. And for some reason CBD Myer has their Transformers spread out all over the place across several different aisles instead of one. I wonder if a Hasbro rep as visited that store recently...

the top of the thread suggested that I needn't disclose location if it's a limited item. as there were only one of each, I'd say they're limited at that store.;) for the moment anyway but there are other Kmarts and they probably have them in stock too, so I was just giveing a general heads up.
Lugnut did look awesome though.
not sold on Grappel yet.

[Vector Prime]

the top of the thread suggested that I needn't disclose location if it's a limited item. as there were only one of each, I'd say they're limited at that store.;)

Fair enough then... kinda defeats the purpose of this thread IMO. :rolleyes:

After all, isn't the intention of this thread to help people acquire certain items by posting sightings of the items in store? :confused:

You should have just kept it to yourself then if you weren't prepared to help out fellow users that may be looking for this wave (FYI, not myself as I have these already). :(

I'm not a moderator so I can't control this, but I just think it's generally bad etiquette.

[griffin]

It's also to help people know which store chains have certain waves/figures, because how many people have access to a particular store anyway? It is encouraged to post locations, but if it is a limited release figure, or something that hasn't been seen in many places (yet), being obscure can make sure members here get first chance by contacting the person making the sighting and finding out privately where the items are.
And since we didn't get to see much of wave 2 Voyagers or ANY of the wave 3 voyagers, posting the location of these ones might have a lurker/ebayer get there before a member here does.

Like I said, it is encouraged to give locations and prices, but there are certain circumstances that allow for vagueness, provided a store chain is at least listed.

:eek::eek::eek: That sucks! About half my G1 collection came from that shop! :(

[griffin]

RTS Perceptor, Optimus and Wreck Gar. Took all of me to resist purchasing Wreck Gar given the price. :(

Not sure how many stores have these yet so to be on the safe side PM if you want location.

I'm willing to allow people to be vague on a location on limited release items, but you should at least tell us the store chain otherwise this posting is kinda pointless for the rest of us wanting to go hunting for them.

[sanbot]

Okay. I just want to set the record straight. I didn't include the chain or location because I thought if there really were scalpers looking through the forums and they monitored it regularly they can easily deduce from my previous post which store it was and which location. Call it being overly careful if you want but thats the reason. Anyway, that off my chest.

The chain is Myer.

It sure seems that way :(

Good to see that there is an alternative to Woolworth's rip-off price and TRU who stock them once and never again.

So maybe that's why everytime I walk into a Toys R Us the shelves are empty :(:p

Well, darn. Seems they're gone for good, as it's no longer listed on their website. :(

[colin78]

The Shaver Shop are selling the Transformers musical toothbrush for 50% atm. The sale isn't marked... the lady who served me didn't even know about it until the manager mentioned it.

[tron07]

Also, I scanned the TakTom Jetfire/Prime combo pack at both Warrawong and Shellharbour stores and they rung up at $109 - Tempting? :D

do they still have this?? very tempting indeed :D

[Hursticon]

do they still have this?? very tempting indeed :D

There were about 5 packs at the Warrawong store and only 1 at the Shellharbour store.

Hope that helps Tron07. ;):D

[i_amtrunks]

Banzaitron at Target Blacktown, along with a couple of Long Hauls, plus some deluxes, skids, ratchet etc.

Uncle Petes Blacktown had very few of the animated Voyagers as well as a single movie Bumblebee and Mudflap vehicle and doll set for $30 a pop.

[mknell]

Prime, Bumblebee, Wreck Gar & Preceptor. is that wave 1 or 2?


:) Then why even mention it dood? :)

Well Big W do restock quite quick and seeing them in blacktown means they will be poping up all over the place shortly

Cheers mate!

Probably go do some hunting for perceptor and wreckgar tomorrow! :D

So travelling around Sydney today I went to heaps of Kmarts, Big W's, Target, MYERs, DJS and Toys r Us. Only managed to locate one store that had what I was after and that was Big W (if you don't count the 1 Toys R Us store which had one remaining HA Jazz which I got)! 1 store only out of the 15 suburbs and 50 stores I travelled to!

That was around midday today. Only 1x perceptor, optimus and bumblebee left. Some RTS Legends incl megs, ss and op. PM if you want exact location though chances are its probably gone.

Even though I went to so many stores, not once did I see any voyager lugnuts, grappel or strafe's!

Man it sucks not being able to hunt during weekdays.

[1AZRAEL1]

Prime, Bumblebee, Wreck Gar & Preceptor. is that wave 1 or 2?

Wave 2. It's looking like we have missed out on Wave 1.

[Vector Prime]

1 store only out of the 15 suburbs and 50 stores I travelled to!

Man, you have too much time on your hands! :D

All hope is not lost yet guys... I have a sneaking suspicion that TRU will come to the rescue (at a certain price that is)

[1AZRAEL1]

We can only hope. even if it is on the more expensive side, I would probably buy them from there.

[liegeprime]

Driving?? Man thats a lot of Petrol guzzled... on a hot day with the aircon on hmmmm.....ah well its only petrol.... hehehehe

Yes driving! You'd have to be crazy to attempt this on PT with the number of stores I went to.

And yes I do have too much time :p like I said the joys of being single.

You have some insider information do you? Please share it with the class :D

RTS JAZZ AND TRACKS ARE TRU EXCLUSIVES!

(just kidding :D... I'm only speculating since TRU doesn't seem to have received Wave 2 whereas other retailers have, so don't count them out yet)

Oh good. For a moment I thought given the last exclusive Deluxe-Class Jazz they had, I'd have to shell out $50. :p

RTS Strafe, Lugnut and Grapple at Castle Hill Target :)

RTS Strafe, Lugnut and Grapple at Castle Hill Target :)

Oh pooo, why do they always bring out good stuff during weekdays.

[Vector Prime]

You do realise that if you ring them up and be extra nice to the person on the phone in the toy section, most of the time they will put stuff on hold for you for 24hrs (tomorrow night being Thurs night shopping)?

Yeah I thought about that. But I think the sale ends today. So would I still be able to get the 20% off?

[Vector Prime]

Probably not - maybe you could try paying for it over the phone with CC today and collect it tomorrow? (I've never done it with a major chain store, so I don't even know if they will accept CC payment over the phone?)

voyager Lugnut, Grappel and Strafe
multiples
Target

5.00 wednesday the 2nd

PM for exact suburb

[GoktimusPrime]

Found Voyager Lugnut and Strafe at Target Castle Hill - not Solar Storm Grap-pel. :( :(

[i_amtrunks]

So Target does their usual trick of restocking with very new figures just after a sale, where they had nothing on the shelves... :rolleyes:

That's not just Taget though, they all pretty much do it. I've been to so many sales at midnight just to be told that 'someone else must have bought them all' :mad: Then they all magically appear on the shelves straight after the sales have finished.

Here is the current floor stock of Shellharbour's Target and Kmart as of 7:00pm 03/02/11.

Penrith has..... *insert drum roll*

Sweet FA. Target has had TF relegated to the tiniest shelf space I have ever seen, Big Whoop has exactly that (though if you are still after old Robot Heroes, they have a few) Myer has bugger all. DIdn't check Kmart coz it was too damn hot to walk over there. And Toys R Us didn't even bother checking.

haha! I know that stupid half shelf spot Penrith Target uses :p
They rarely go over onto the endcap zones and usually it is just multiples of the same 2 or 3 figures

[mharry]

Found voyager Battle Blades Optimus Prime and Banzitron at Target Coffs Harbour $50 each. There was only 1 prime though.
