According to the other states, it's Big W that has been stocking wave 2. Just don't go to big W mandurah, it was depressing, one tf4 hot shot, LED decepticon symbol and some rescue bots and that's it

LOL... that is pretty sad.
Don't go to Target Country stores either... two half aisle of toys. No Transformers. Thought I be sneaky and try to see if I could get some while away on holidays.

So I did the rounds Monday to quite a few Big W's, they are looking the same as Mandurah (which is bugger all). Asked staff whats going on and they gave me the 'Don't know', which leads me to believe Big W is getting ready to clear out all old stuff before pushing ahead with Combiner Wars. From Griffin's report at Toy Fair Big W got the rights for a June release of Devastator, so they might be ramp-ing up for big Combiner Wars push. As to why WA gets nothing for a while before this happens ... well ... its WA =(

Went to Big-W Karrinyup Thursday night ~6 PM. They had one full set of wave 2 Stunticons and 2 Air Raids when I got there, I got one of the Air Raids and left everything else.
They priced matched the Myer's catalog too, which was nice.

Midland Big W, which never has ANYTHING, had two sets of Wave 2 combiners. They didn't stock Wave 1, so was a surprise find.
I snapped up 1 set, but there is a full set remaining (including air raid of course). Just need Motormaster now.
They priced matched myer, so great steal - especially with only 2 days left on the sale!
Hasbro are on to a winner with these combiners, I cannot recall a time where i would purchased 4 deluxe figures in one hit. One minute they have 8 products on a full shelf, and it only takes two people to clear them out.
Happy shopping :)

Picked up Air Raid at Kingsway with a price match of course. Superion is now complete except will need to pick up Slingshot when he is out. However Alpha Bravo is growing on me.
SoundwavePerth
24th April 2015, 11:50 PM
I like Alpha Bravo, point of difference and great design!
Are you collecting Menasor? I wasn't going to...but then the more it lingered in my mind...and having a rival for Superion...i just thought what the heck. Especially at the Myer price tag.
Though I never liked Menasor as a kid. We had him and was a pretty average toy.
No more for me though, im done.*

Not a big fan of Menasor. Need the budget for Devestator. Definitely picking that baby up. Possibly get Defensor and Combaticons when that is rolled out. From the info on TFW looks like Combaticons is coming out next.

Alpha Bravo will go on Ultra Prime and what ever other limbs come out that are rumoured .... Just like Off Road will go on Cyclonus for Galvatronus.
Personally, I'm looking at collecting all CW. I won't get 100% but I'll aim for 95%, it can join my 97% animated and 99% Prime ... Need to get hold of War Breakdown

Thanks for sharing that. Not sure what shipping comes in at but the option to layby over 6 months locally made it a lot more palatable, especially after playing catch up with a few other figures recently.
Unfortunately, I've only just come to the party recently so I missed all the pre-orders for this one but I've learned my lesson :-)

YOTG optimus at Myer joondalup, just got mine. :) after i got mine i saw there was 5 left. it is at $199, they have the platinum leader grimlock and optimus (with no prices on them) and only a couple of CW silverbolt.

30th June 2015, 11:30 PM
Okay Guys, who wants to hear it............this story will have hope, heartbreak, frustration and jubilation!
I went to Midland tonight, as BIG W had a sale on the Legends figures( which I have no interest in - but at $10, thought I would check out).
OF COURSE Big W had NOTHING! Just as my eyes dropped down from the pegs, I see it.......................
I FOUND THE GREEN BEAST - Devastator, tonight, here in WA!!!
One Solitary box sitting on the bottom shelf.........I had to double take, the heart rate slightly increase as I grabbed the box. I had that winning feeling ( much like when the eagles beat richmond last week! haha).
I was pumped, I finally found the elusive bastard! To be honest, I had that gut feeling tonight, I couldn't ignore it, and it paid off.
IN SUMMARY:
HOPE: It Exists in WA....... Get out there and scavenge!
FRUSTRATION: See the above posts, we were all left to believe it hadn't even hit our shores.
ANNOYING: I went to Midland on Thursday and put my name on 'the list' to be called. I rang yesterday and they confirmed my name was on the list YET i received no call while these were put out on the floor.
HEART BREAK: These forums have reported no one from WA picking one up. There was room on the shelf for about 4/6 and I found the last one, so the Ozformer fans have missed out (so far).
Hopefully other outlets have them. Midland may put more more tomorrow if the cupboard is bare.
Good luck everyone, I love the thrill of a hunt and to prosper!

That may be accurate, but the misleading information we are receiving I have doubts.
An employee would have looked at the empty shelf and an assumed they were sold out.
I would call again in the afternoon, incase more are put out.
Strange that 1 was put out over night. I picked mine up at 5pm, and someone else grabbed one this morning. Perhaps it was the last...

After a long discussion (and a very helpful staff member) I can confirm that Midland received two. They have more on order.

Thanks mate. I'm sure the order of two was what was supplied. I work for another (big box, not department store) retailer and while we can order 20 of something, if someone is only shipping us 5, we'll get five. Doesn't mean the remaining 15 wont be fulfilled, but it means they aren't on the truck yet.

It's possible that it was Hasbro's fault, as they had a backlog after moving warehouses... and there are conflicting versions on what happened with the scheduling and supply of Devastator.

1st July 2015, 06:43 PM
So I've been going to Big W constantly and speaking to the staff about what there stocks will be like.
First of all let me say this: Mandurah Big W is the worst. At one point there was not a single transformer on the shelves, not one ... for a whole week ... even after the sale had started.
Apparently they received only half of there stuff for the sale, but all at once ... so the restocks of other toys they think they'd sell out of in the first week as well as others. Transformers where nowhere to be seen ... until today.
The BH Wave 2/3 showed up for $10 which was good. The other thing is that when Mandurah does get the big green bot, they are getting 16. Sad news is that people have already put there names down in the books for waiting. This doesn't bother me as I've already decided to go for United Devastator and Defensor anyway.
Warnbro Big W didn't have anything as of Monday but I'll be swinging by there tomorrow to have a check.

I've given up on trying to acquire one South of the river.
What ticks me off most is that Big W Riverton had stock but the useless chap overseeing the toy department told me that they had none (I could tell that he was lying through his teeth).
He told me to come back the next day when he thinks the stock will arrive.
When I called just prior to noon the next day, I got transferred to the same useless joker looking after the toy department there and he then laughed over the phone and said it was all sold out!
When I asked when would a restock be coming in, there was silence and then I asked again, that idiot said it's all sold out (again).
That's Big W customer service for you.
Total incompetence... Well, at least for that store.
I'm not surprised if he had some scalper friend on the side that he was assisting but I was and am not impressed.
Buy local they say... Well with service like that, i'll stick to online sources and get Takara :mad:

they called me back saying it didnt arrive, but there was a mistake. it should arrive on monday. :/
i have a feeling whatever came last night had already been picked up by others.

original reissue? or the unite warriors one?

This is probably more suitable on some more Australia wide thread, and perhaps already has been mentioned, but I happen to give TRU a browse online (to look for listings for MP Starscream actually) and saw "Online Deals" for MP-22 as well as the Platinum Blaster/Perceptor set.
The former is going for $249.xx (about 17% discount) and the latter for $149.xx, which at 25% discount I can't resist anymore (been looking for a G1 set of the Autobot cassettes and haven't had luck). Postage seems rather constant at $9.99 for Perth metro even with a heap of items in the cart :)

After your post i had a look at the Platinum Blaster/Perceptor set. It's probably reasonable enough price, i had it in the shopping cart but decided against it.
G1 blaster is pretty big, would stand out from the rest of my collection (universe/classics). Both figs are great, but yer, i have to draw the line somewhere.
Still stoked I picked up the soundwave reissue at the airport in KL back in 2009 for $30. Even though i have the original, that was one of my best pickups.... was all so cheap over there.

For more serious collecting though, you'd most likely need to look to online retailers from overseas, as we sometimes miss out on Hasbro stock and very little 3rd party makes it here. Not to mention hunting around for high demand items can be frustrating if you're coming up empty most of the time. MP Soundwave comes to mind...
It was sweet when the AUD was 0.90 USD or higher, but more painful now, although we're still not far worse off compared to buying local for many things...

Pretty pissed, phoned TRU last Wednesday and asked about MP Starscream, they said it would be in within the next couple of weeks. Phoned this morning and the girl said they had them last Friday but they sold out quickly the same day and they only had about three of them. In fairness the girl I spoke to last Wednesday had no idea what she was talking about.
Anyway apparently they are getting more in but only a couple of units per store. She couldn't tell me when though...

Morley Myer had one full set of combiner limbs on Saturday (ironhide, prowl etc) for anyone interested in the buy 2 get 1 free offer at the moment. Not much else.
I have been away from this for a while, anyone seen any combaticons in Perth yet? I might not bother this year tho.
Spotted the combaticons in Kmart Mandurah ($25) and Target Rockingham ($30). Also spotted and bought for someone the latest legends? (the little ones) of Thunderhoof, Windblade, Clampdown and Drift. And also seen in Target Rockingham Leader class Starscream ($89) and also CW Hotspot hidden behind the shelf-warming Silverbolt.

Picked up the 4 Combaticon limbs from TRU Innaloo.
1 Brawl and 1 Blast-Off left on the pegs when I left.
Swindle: what a great retool of an already fun mould. My pick of the 4 by a long shot

I'm not a hard core collector, modest collection of mainly Classics/Universe/Generation figures. After 2015, i picked up all the aerial bots, stunticons and devastator... my cupboard is getting a bit full.
Always loved Bruticus, but not sure if I'll chase him down. If I can find him on sale, I will probably indulge. Shame Myer couldnt have come to the party...

if anyone's still after a voyager FOC Soundwave, there's one for $50-60 (can't remember exact price, sorry) at the Perth Hobby Centre in Osborne Park.
Driving around there is a freaking nightmare, however.

A bit off topic but I was sad to discover their old premises on Murray St had been vacated. That said I think they were already planning on closing up shop before I left WA :p

Myer CBD tonight had CW Onslaught, Scattershot, Wheeljack, Hound, Trailbreaker and Smokescreen.
Popped back into the shop (it's called High Fidelity, where Empire Toys used to be) where I got my Hot Toys T-800 Endoskeleton. They still have 30% off all collectibles which includes the high-end Hot Toys figures, Sideshow collectibles, busts, etc. They seem to have a number of earlier released items, and if my experience is anything to go by, don't seem to mark them up like the sellers on ebay.

K-mart Innaloo had full sets of Combaticon limbs at $25 each, but no Onslaughts. Actually only a single Voyager which was Scattershot. Typical selection of Legends (sans Shockwave of course)
TRU Innaloo had:
- CW Voyages: a single Onslaught, nil Sky Lynx, and a heap load of Scattershots - these were on sale price of $40.
- CW Leader Megs & Armada Megs on sale at $80.
- A single damaged box Leader Jetfire.
- Usual platinums (Inseticons, Blaster/Perceptor) including Movie Dinobot set at "clearance" for $200.
- There a single Shockwave amongst the CW Legends here.

Don't understand why Kmart sells the CW deluxe at $25 and the Rid deluxe at $29. Should both be the same price.
Kmart Joondalup had a bunch of CW silverbolts and optimus voyagers but no Sky lynx.

Don't understand why Kmart sells the CW deluxe at $25 and the Rid deluxe at $29. Should both be the same price.
Actually... the RID warriors are cheaper in America than the GEN Deluxes (the RRP of both, which is dictated by the wholesale price).
RID RRP (http://www.bwtf.com/news/toyfair2016-rid2015-product-descriptions) - US$15 (here at Kmart - $29)
GEN RRP (http://www.bwtf.com/news/toyfair2016-generations-product-descriptions) - US$17 (here at Kmart - $25)
The RID Warriors should be cheaper here than the GEN Deluxes, but most stores have them at the same price, while Kmart sell them for more... which I chose not to question, as us Collectors are more likely to buy the GEN Deluxes, so it is good to have them cheaper (at one store at least).
