WA Transformers Sightings.

[Batfan007]

Damn it, I spent the morning hitting up mandurah ... Rocko tomorrow it is.

FYI the only thing that stood out was G2 Brut and Mandurah Forum K-Mart for $99

If you go there, there is a BIG W 5 mins down road (south) as well, but I have not been in there, no idea what they got, but worth a look after Kmart if you have time I guess.

[Batfan007]

at least 1 each of the wave 3 deluxes left at Target Innaloo after I grabbed what I wanted. Also a crap ton of CW Leader Skywarp for $69 and and CW Smokescreen/Wheeljack/Hound for anyone still chasing them

Wave 1/2 is fully stocked at TRU Innaloo for anyone still after them too (finally got a Highbrow myself)

there are so many of those unsold, that are obviously being rolled out, (old stock that had no room) I bet we will see some on sale in January post xmas!

[Batfan007]

I went to Gateway today for shoes, and in BIG W they had those old stock Lil Transformers for $5 each that some OZ stores now have out.

They would not scan at the self serve thing, had to go to the main register.
They had them in two sections, the main toy aisle, and a floating small isle/stand near there with loads of them.

They also had Grimlock, Prime, the purple Jet I always confuse with the blue one.

[graza78]

Target Cannington has a buttload of CW Leader Skywarps for $39, and wave 3 headmasters (Fangry, Overboard ect).

[Omega Metro]

TRU Joondalup have 3 Takara Unite Warriors Superion sets at $200 each if anyone's after that.Also some Takara MP-10 Optimus for $300.

[valkyrie_76]

Spotted the new hasbro headmasters in Target Rocko.

[Batfan007]

If anyone sees any Titans Rumble in any WA stores, please let me know. I have one, looking for a second one for a friend. I have not seen any for ages.

I may grab one off ebay for him, but doesn't hurt to ask here as cheaper in stores than ebay with postage.:cool:
Thanks again guys!

[Finback]

So, has anyone seen any restocking, or are we now in that post-Xmas wasteland for a month or more, where nothing gets restocked?

[Bumbleb33]

Hey Batfan007 I saw a Rumble (should be Frenzy) at Kmart Kardinya recently as well as at Kmart Armadale last weekend.

[Batfan007]

Hey Batfan007 I saw a Rumble (should be Frenzy) at Kmart Kardinya recently as well as at Kmart Armadale last weekend.

Thanks, I may stop by one of those before I order online. Althought most stuff is pretty cleaned out post xmas.
I'm glad some of the shelf warming stuff has sold to make room for hopeful TR restocks

[Batfan007]

Stopped in at KMART Kardinya today and they have one the TR Blasters which scans at $30 on clearance.
I already got one, so no use to me.

[Batfan007]

just thought I would mention as I've never used price matching, does TRU and/or Myer do price matching?

Those stores have the most stock of leader class, Titans Return Blaster is $29 at Kmart, I scanned one today and it's still at that price, so Myer and TRU in most areas have prime and blaster, so price matching my be an option for some.
Don't know how long this will last?
A dude on FB group posted that he got one from TRU (dont know what state) at the Kmart price after price matching. :)

[DarkHyren]

Most do price match yes, but most also need the item to be in stock at the other store and sometimes also require a catalog or photographic proof of the price.
Myer is a lot more strict with these conditions then TRU, but it all depends on the manager of the particular store.
Good luck

[Bumbleb33]

Hey Batfan007 I saw a Rumble (should be Frenzy) at Kmart Kardinya recently as well as at Kmart Armadale last weekend.

Hey Batfan007, did you get your Rumbles? If not I saw 2 of them at Target Cockburn last night.

[Omega Metro]

TR Leader Soundwave at Toyworld Bunbury if anyone fancies a drive. $90

[SharkyMcShark]

G2 Bruticus set is 49 bucks at kmart post xmas sale price.

I nabbed one from wannerroo yesterday.

[Batfan007]

Hey Batfan007, did you get your Rumbles? If not I saw 2 of them at Target Cockburn last night.

Yeah, friend got one from elsewhere.

Funny, I was at Cockburn yesterday but did not go in there as was after closing time. They have had none their for AGES, but I was determined to see if they had any, but lunch out turned into dinner out.

Thanks for posting

[Batfan007]

TR Leader Soundwave at Toyworld Bunbury if anyone fancies a drive. $90

What is it with the more remote locations getting the obscure figures? :mad:
Or maybe it's just that they are the spots where they didn't sell, while the local ones got 1 or 2 in and sold right away.

I'll never understand it.
Nope, at full price I can just grab him from ebay. I was hoping their might be some local, but I have not seen ever seen any north or south, like not at all.
Oh well, ebay it is!

Thanks for posting.

Kmart has leader online listes as $30, but out of stock. However they have them in stores at that price, no way to prove it so a bit useless.

Oh well, I got Blaster and Prime months ago anyhow, no regrets.

[Omega Metro]

Leader Soundwave at Toyworld Kalamunda. $90
Oh, and a CW Victorion at BigW Ellenbrook. $118

[llamatron]

No bruticus at the following kmarts:

Innaloo
Warwick
Mirrabooka
Wanneroo

:(

But got the last blaster from Wanneroo.

[snaketales]

No bruticus at the following kmarts:

Innaloo
Warwick
Mirrabooka
Wanneroo

:(

But got the last blaster from Wanneroo.

Nor at Morley or Belmont :(:(

[Batfan007]

No bruticus at the following kmarts:

Innaloo
Warwick
Mirrabooka
Wanneroo

:(

But got the last blaster from Wanneroo.

They were shelfwarming for ages, then when that special hit, all gone from any Kmarts I've been in south of the river recently.

[SharkyMcShark]

I will say I really had to hunt around for a Bruticus set. I'd imagine they're largely gone now.

In your regional WA sightings news I can report a bunch of CW leader skywarps and starscreams for 69 dollars at Target Margaret River.

Have we seen wave 3 TR deluxes subsequent to that first batch in late Nov? I need another Triggerhappy.

I have seen the odd one here and there, its possible though those that I have seen were simply left over from the batch you refer to. But recently I have see TR Hot Rod and TR Triggerhappy at Big W / Target Cockburn. Unfortunately both have since gone though.

Nope.
I've seen only very few in limited stores, many stores didn't get them at all of wave 3

[Batfan007]

Hey if anyone sees any Hardhead's in any stores, can you please post here. I'm after two more of them.

[Omega Metro]

FINALLY found Gnaw, Kickback and Bumblebee at Target Carousel. None left now except Bumblebee but I'm sure other Targets have them.:D

[SharkyMcShark]

Nothing new at Kalamunda Toyworld this week.

I'm still after a second Triggerhappy, and after hearing tales of the next bunch of Wave 3 TR stuff hitting Targets over East I chanced my arm with Target Vic Park and came up with nothing.

[AJ_Prime]

Shelves have been restocked at Big W Joondalup. Lots of wave 3 legends (bumblebee, kickback and gnaw), also lots of new deluxes (triggerhappy, hot rod and breakaway). Happy hunting! :)

[Batfan007]

Thanks for posting guys! :)

[snaketales]

There was nothing at Target CBD during my lunch break :(

[valkyrie_76]

There was nothing at Target CBD during my lunch break :(

Nothing new at Target Rockingham and Big W Warnbro.

[Batfan007]

Nothing new at Target Rockingham and Big W Warnbro.

Are there Wave 3 Deluxes all sold out, anything left?

[Bumbleb33]

Woot! Going hunting tomorrow, I have been hanging out for Gnaw for so long.

[nyerk]

Triggerhappys and Hot Rods at Target Carousel. No new legends though.

[SharkyMcShark]

Plenty of Hot Rods and Twinfernos left at Target Carousel.

No voyagers of any kind.

They've got about 12 of the Titan Master Brawn figures. It's like the only TM scale figure they've got (the headmaster Brawn not the Legends scale that's upcoming).

Tons of the CW leader Skywarp for 69 dollars.

Last Trigger-happy made its way home with me.

EDIT TRU Cannington has all G2 combiner wars box sets for 160aud, a bunch of the Platinum Dinobots sets for 150 aud and 2x Fort Max. They've got a good spread of the wave 1 and 2 Titan Masters. 2x Road Rage MP for 120aud. That's it - no deluxes voyagers or leaders.

[Tabias Prime]

Belmont Forum is a baron wasteland for transformers....Midlandgate was also looking a little baron and has almost been picked clean but there was a Hotrod at Target that has a new home:p

[ChlorHex]

Any Liokaisers available at TRU?
How much are they going for btw?
Just saw a review and I'm starting to really like this set.

[griffin]

Liokaiser is a Myer exclusive, for $180.
There might still be some floating around.

There were going online a while back for $120 AU, dont know if any still around at that price, but set dont seem too popular, I've seen it discounted repeatedly.
Do you want me to post if I see it anywhere online cheaper than than the normal price?

That'll be great! Thanks!

[Bumbleb33]

Plenty of TR Wave 3 deluxes at Target and Big W Cockburn still no Gnaw though

[llamatron]

Kmart innaloo has at least 3 gnaws and some kickbacks and possibly 2 full sets of wave 3 TR deluxes.

[Batfan007]

Target Cannington had 1 x Doublecross and 3 x Hot Rod this week when I was there.

[Bumbleb33]

Did the rounds today in the hopes of finding Gnaw, unfortunately I did not but for anyone chasing TR Wave 3 Deluxe they are available at Kmart Armadale, Big W Livingston, Kmart Cannington, Target Cannington and Big W Riverton.

[Tabias Prime]

If anyone is looking for a Kickback, Gnaw or Bumblebee there are stocks at Kmart Midland, my wife has just been and picked me up a Kickback...my holy grail for the month complete....

[Batfan007]

Looks like some restock has finally arrived!

Titans wave 3 at Garden City were at Toy World, Target and Big W (about 2 of each toy at each store.

They also had an Astro train and some Gnaws and Insecticons at the toyworld.
Toyworld insections and Gnaws (about 3 there) are $20 while their deluxes I think were $30 (shit price) and usual $25 at Big W and Target.

Quite a few headmasters (heads) at all stores.

AT the toyworld they also have old Hardhead and Scourge, on the VERY TOP of the shelf, as they are so full of toys they have run out of room and have the newere deluxes on the main shelf.

Toyworld has some Blasters, Galvatron and SIXSHOT ($90) and damn does he look amazing!
I ordered my one online, so no buy for me.

My guess is will be seeing more restock in next week or so, as I was at Garden City last week, and they had almost nothing at any of those stores. So check your local stores!
Also, if anyone is having a hard time finding Gnaw (me) I bought some online for $14 AU delivered from ebay, (seller has loads of them and insecticons at same price) so that is another option if you are not finding any locally.:cool:

[Bumbleb33]

Big W Livingston down to 2x Wave 3 deluxes, Triggerhappy and Hotrod, still no Wave 3 Legends :(

[Omega Metro]

Toyworld Midland have 3 Leader class Sixshots for $80 each. Also a few Gnaws and Kickbacks.

[griffin]

Toyworld Midland have 3 Leader class Sixshots for $80 each. Also a few Gnaws and Kickbacks.

$80 for a Leader at Toyworld??? Hasbro Australia really must be dropping their wholesale prices for Toyworld to charge $10-20 below their normal Leader pricing. (Target had Leaders at $79, and Kmart were $59 before they cleared them out)

Blaster and Optimus was there also but they were $90 ($10 more). New, cheaper pricing for Leaders hopefully.

[Batfan007]

Went for a Sunday drive, Garden City Kmart has 3-4 of each deluxe from wave 3 - Hot Rod etc.

Which is more than they had earlier in the week, so either they got more, or had some out back I guess.

They also have 3 x Astro train and 3x Alpha Trion

:)

not much else, rest of their RID and rescue bots are looking bare, overall good as space for new stock of whatever.

Stopped in at stocklands Target (south st) and they had those new RID combine two pack kiddy things, but nothing much else. Still some leader Blaster there and RID power surge prime (the giant size one).

they had still a few of the most recent waves of heads/vehicles,

[Gasaraki]

Here at Kmart Innaloo... Still got a couple of Kickbacks and Gnaws, and a heap of Bumblebees (which will very likely be shelf warming for months).

Also got the newest Deluxes Hot Rod, Triggerhappy, Twinferno, and a stack of Astrotrains too!

Was at Carousel couple of days back - Myer and Kmart there was a wasteland for TF. Target had the newest Deluxes but nothing else of note.

[Gasaraki]

Now at Reject Shop Karawara - CW legends Buzzsaw, Shockwave, Chop Shop, and Pipes still around for bargain basement $10!

[Batfan007]

Kmart on south St has a couple each of wave 3 deluxes, but nothing else new.

[Batfan007]

So Broadside was sighted in Eastern states, hopefully not too long till he shows up here, No#1 im after, seeing as he was not available online when I ordered the others from this wave.

5 Kremzeek Points to anyone who posts WA sightings of him! (soon) :)

[Bumbleb33]

Voyager Wave 4 (Megs + OP) now at Cockburn Gateways Big W. Skipped on both waiting for their inevitable repaints.

[Batfan007]

Thanks for posting. Those dudes are actually wave 3 (along with sixshot)

Wave 4 is Broadside and Sky Shadow (for voyager and leader)

[snaketales]

There were two of those platinum 5-dinobot packs at the Hay St Mall Zing store during my lunch break today.
Now there's one :D

Also several copies of that Zing exclusive Revolutions issue.

[SharkyMcShark]

How much are they after for the Platinum dinobots?

Theyre $140 at TRU

[Batfan007]

How much are they after for the Platinum dinobots?

Theyre $140 at TRU

They seem to average at $150 at most places (down from $200 or whatever the old RRP was)

[snaketales]

$118 at Zing.

[Bumbleb33]

TF RID Scorponok and Windblade at Kmart Armadale yesterday.

[Gasaraki]

Target Park Centre has TR Legends wave of Laserbeak, Rumble and Ravage. Also curiously a couple of CW Bombshells for anyone looking to complete Legends Insecticons, scans at $19.

And also a HEAP of CW Leader Skywarps...

[Bumbleb33]

TR Legends Wave 3 at Target Cockburn last night, I bought the last Bumblebee and Kickbacks but I left 2 Gnaws behind.

[snaketales]

Just wave 1 and 2 of Titan Master heads at Target CBD, but it did have the RiD red-and-white Drift, Stormcloud (? - red and white jet thing) and a repaint of the Bludgeon mold. I think it was called Blastwave?

I don't follow RiD :o

Nice, I. In Perth tomorrow will take a look as I am after those:)

That Autobot Bludgeon (whatever his name is) toy is real nice, both are a retool of the RID Megatronus mold which I bought last year.
I was only going to the bus station to meet someone, but now I will stop by there an might as well visit Myer too. Thanks:)

[Gasaraki]

At Belmont Forum today... both Big-W & K-Mart are nearly void of anything of new of note

K-Mart had two sad looking legends (I think a Rumble and someone else), along with stacks of Sentinel Primes. Zero TR deluxes.

Big-W had one lonely Triggerhappy (strange that!), a stack of Sentinel Primes and Galvatrons, but oddly also some old legends stock: OP, Ultra Magnus, and Skywarp (? from 2015).

[Batfan007]

Stopped in at Perth city Myer and target - nothing to buy for me.
Myer has loads of fort max and liokaiser at full price.
Both stores had none of the new rid deluxes.

[Gasaraki]

Big W Karrinyup has all of TR Wave 3 deluxes and legends on shelves (Hot Rod, Kickback waves) as well as Wave 2 voyagers (Astrotrain...).

[Omega Metro]

Visited TRU Cannington the other day. I'm certain the TF section has not been touched since well before Christmas. I should of taken a photo back in December and compared it with February. Not much has changed.
Congrats to Target Rockingham. Their TF section is full with stuff. Lego section is brilliant as always as well. Always has been the best Target toy section in Perth. It's like nobody down there buys toys.:confused:

[Civic Bossman]

Spotted these at Coles Maddington

Do they have any new stuff? I rarely go that way, but thanks for mentioning
last time they had teh wave with hot rod, doublecross etc, back last year, any new stuff since then?

Absolutely nothing except Combiner Wars packs and a couple of old Legends and giant RID Bumblebee things.

[Civic Bossman]

Forgot I picked this guy up from K-Mart Maddington - Valor the Lion-Bot. TFW2005 have him listed as "not released"??

http://i1268.photobucket.com/albums/jj562/darren_sheldon1/20170220_214028_zpsosnuiq2j.jpg (http://s1268.photobucket.com/user/darren_sheldon1/media/20170220_214028_zpsosnuiq2j.jpg.html)

[Batfan007]

so Target Freo, the WORST Target in WA as voted by everybody who talks,
actually have some new stock, the um wave with doublecross and hot rod etc, they had all four deluxes, they have had almost nothing but REALLY old stock of like RID stuff for ages.

They have crash n smash combiner RID two pack, but none of the new deluxes.
They did have 3 old RID Deluxes/warrior or whatever confusion labels they use to annoy me.:mad:
Megatronus, Quillfire and some other one, both of which are nice, but I bought them like six months ago and I swear the shelf warm everywhere I go.

Or Target hired them as store greeters?

[snaketales]

Sky shadows at myr cbd this evening. I used Myers sale to get mine and a legion RiD starscream for $79 :D:

Sooo glad I didn't order mine online....

[Omega Metro]

1 Skyshadow left at Myer Carousel at $72 after 20% off. Also about 6 Gnaws at $16 each after 20% off.

[llamatron]

I forgot how terrible Innaloo TRU is. 2 Fort Maxes, some Victorians and dinobot 5-packs. No sixshots, but plenty of Blasters.

[Batfan007]

Terrible for TF, not so bad for other stuff.

[Batfan007]

Has anyone seen any of the Swoop heads around lately, that come with the little orange teranodon?

I am looking for some more, so if you have seen any in recent weeks, please post. I may try TRU cannington, have not been there for a while and they usually have a few of the heads.

[snaketales]

I forgot how terrible Innaloo TRU is. 2 Fort Maxes, some Victorians and dinobot 5-packs. No sixshots, but plenty of Blasters.

I see you and raise you Morley TRU.... about a dozen epic Optimus (the giant robot heroes type thing) and two Skullcrunchers. That's all. :eek:

[snaketales]

Heaps of TR deluxes, including the ever-popular Triggerhappy, at Target CBD, plus a good selection of the Legends/Commanders/whatever they're called.

When I left there was still 2-3 Gnaws there go go go!

[Batfan007]

Man, that is most restock I've seen at Target South St and Target cockburn, - both had TR Wave (hot rod etc), some of the new RID toys, and the new penny racer looking Rescue Bot things.

TOYWORLD still has a fair amount of stock too, all of the most recent wave of TR deluxes , nice to see all four at several stores at the same time.

Loads of sharkticons at Target stores, and Bee and Insecticons.

Picked up this lot. Couple $ off just about everything at Target.

http://i.imgur.com/qKKmA71.jpg

[SharkyMcShark]

Toyworld Kalamunda update coming at ya

All Wave 3 TR deluxes in multiple.

All Wave 3 Legends in multiple.

Didn't see any of the new Titan Masters. No new voyagers either.

[Batfan007]

EDIT: that reminds me, loads of astro train and alpha trion at BIG W in Cockburn as well as the TR deluxes I mentioned above.

[Batfan007]

Anyone seen any of those reject shop $10 insecticons lately?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Saw TR Megatron and Blaster at Zing / EB games in the CBD.

[SharkyMcShark]

Are Zing carrying Transformers now? I've got a 50 buck EB Voucher that needs spending.

[Ralph Wiggum]

They have a small section, nothing brilliant.

[snaketales]

Saw TR Megatron and Blaster at Zing / EB games in the CBD.

TR Optimus was also there today. $48.

[Batfan007]

Anyone seen any Victorion sets lately?

[Civic Bossman]

I think I saw some at TRU Innaloo last week

[Civic Bossman]

K-Mart Belmont had all new Rescue Bots - Blurr, Bumblebee, Quickshadow, Morbot, and mini-cons Fireplug and Swift

[Civic Bossman]

Anyone seen any Victorion sets lately?

TRU Cannington had at some today marked down to $149.98

[snaketales]

Morley Myer had CW Onslaught on clearance for $35 (no 20% discount available with it). There was one left when I left

Gotta love those blasts from the past... Target Innaloo had a stack of Leader Skywarps for $69 still. Otherwise it's usual Hot Rod / Twinferno wave deluxes, and older wave legends (Rumble, Wheelie), no discounts.

Kmart Innaloo also had HR / Twinferno wave deluxes, and current legends BB/Gnaw/Kickback. No discounts.

[Civic Bossman]

what is "toy for kids"? Is that like a shop that sells collectibles or something, or just new stuff?

Do you mean the warrior class toy that is OS [pictured], or another one?

I have not seen any OS of the other size classes.

Thank for posting sightings guys!

[Omega Metro]

Yes that's the one^^^

[Civic Bossman]

Toys For Kids used to be Toyworld. Now it is 90% knock off everything. Even Lego have stopped supplying them due to large KO range.

And Slug is voyager sized enlargement of the deluxe.

Huh. Toyworld in freo (where I asked them if they would get me a fort max, even at there high prices, before it was out anywhere - and they didnt want to know, or make the effort to find out) used to sell TF's but most of their stock in last 2 years has been beyond minimal, and just shelf warmed.

I finally stopped going back there when they got rid of any deluxe/voyager/leader stuff (they still had CW stuff when we were up to like wave 2 of titans return) and now only sometime have like four or five at a time legend size class.

The final nail in the coffin was when they started selling these disgusting giant like CW devastator sized OS KO movie bumblebees, really shit looking knock offs too, for like $50 a pop!

But they wont sell the mainline stuff now!
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Well not really, TFs obviously sell too little to even be a concern for the main stores when they have star wars, marvel, lego, etc.

[yoshi594]

any skyshadow sightings recently? I'm feeling a little remorse for not picking up the one that shelf warmed at garden city myer for a few weeks xD.

[yoshi594]

Couple at Carousel Myer the other day.

Ooo nice! Cheers for that. They've finally added more stock! Was barely anything there a few weeks ago

[Omega Metro]

Just saw a TR Voyager Optimus at BigW Karrinyup. I dumped it in the pet food section as I was going to buy it but decided not to:rolleyes:
Maybe a sign that that wave is coming to Perth at last.

[Omega Metro]

Just grabbed Titan Masters Shuffler and Repugnus from Kmart Midland. BigW had Transformers Mashems and Target had RID diecast 2 packs (Hotwheels sized)

[SharkyMcShark]

I saw the beast mode (lion and ptero) Titan Masters at K Mart in Belmont last week.

[Batfan007]

What? Those are out?

Have they just been released in last week or two, first I've heard of it? Not seen anything new lately at any stores.

Anyone seen RID Stormshot? (autobot jet)

Seems there are plenty in other states, but not finding anything here.

[llamatron]

Are you sure it was Shuffle the purple elephant and Repugnus? I think that's a first for aus.

I checked a few K-marts over the last few days, only found Sawbacks and Fangries.

Yep definately Shuffler and Repugnus as I bought them ;)
I haven't seen any since at various other Kmarts but noticed they have restocked Titan Master Sawback, Ptero etc.

[snaketales]

I too can vouch for this, for after reading omega's post last week I hightailed it out to midland and picked up shuffler. No repugnus though.
I was there again today - nothing new.

[nyerk]

Not much new at Kmart garden city tonight, other than Last Knight titan changers.

[Bumbleb33]

Anyone seen RID Stormshot? (autobot jet)


Yep two of them at CBD Target tonight as well as the new RID Diecast figs, Wave 3 TR deluxes and TR Legends (Gnaw etc).

Just no photos from anyone yet, so I haven't yet posted it as news. I'll go grab some official images and post it up tonight.

[Batfan007]

Not going there again, went there couple months back to get something the day after it was out (and sighted here) - nothing. 1 hour trip each way on the bus, plus the money I spent on the bus...ugh.

no wonder I end up just overpaying for stuff online.

[GALVATOM]

Last Knight premier deluxes at Westfield cannington kmart

Slash, bee, barricade and beserker

At least two of each apart from

Really? I just went there and nothing what so ever. Not even an empty space.

[nyerk]

Must be some Last Knight deluxes at Garden City Kmart, cause a friend just got me a Barricade :)

[GALVATOM]

Really? I just went there and nothing what so ever. Not even an empty space.

They weren't out on the shelve I just happened to spot them on a staff trolley
I saw it and left for a while to let the people do their work but when I got back they still hadn't put the deluxes out and the trolley was gone
I just asked one of the employees and they went and rolled it back out for me
So they likely still have everything they had when I left you just need to ask the help
Sorry I should of said all that before but I thought they would have put it all out after they said they where OK to sell

[Omega Metro]

Kmart Midland have all the Movie stuff.....actually on the shelves too;)

Stopped in today at:

Garden City:


MYER: same old stock of TR voyagers and fort maxes...

KMART: quite a bit of new stock, mostly movie deluxes and legion class, bit of other stuff


Gateways:

Toyworld: TR toys, still loads, nothing really new, 4 x that lion head dude (restock) that has been sold out for ages.

Big W: nothing new, stuff all anything TF

Target: nothing new, still loads of TR and some RID


SOUTH ST Kmart: new movie deluxes, some restock on older toys

Saw loads of that movie predator thing, and dinobot slash but did not see barricade deluxe - but I dont buy movie toys mostly anyhow.

[nyerk]

A few Sixshots at TRU Cannington today. Still $89.

[Ralph Wiggum]

I was in Quality Comics today and they had MP Inferno, Grapple, Shockwave and Wheeljack.

[Omega Metro]

1 TR Megatron voyager at Myer Carousel. $49.95
Still some Skyshadows there also

Edit: Megs and Optimus also at TRU Cannington. Only 1 each though on the shelf

[Bumbleb33]

Kmart Armadale now has TLK Deluxes, surprisingly they'd sold out of Bumblebee and everyone else from wave 1 was available....

[Civic Bossman]

Myer Garden City had a Platinum Coneheads set in their clearance section for $140 - 20% = $112

[snaketales]

Morley tru has the usual first wave of movie toys, albeit more expensive than Kmart. There wee also TR voyager megatron and Optimus figures on shelf
Plenty of six shots in case anyone feels like giving up on PC and getting one in hand (like me)

[Batfan007]

Myer Garden City had a Platinum Coneheads set in their clearance section for $140 - 20% = $112

yeah and the box has some lovely dents in the corners from all the times they have shuffled it around the place!


EARLY days for WA yet, but if anyone sees the new RID Soundwave, Blur around (soon) anywhere please let me know.

[Gasaraki]

I was at Kmart Innaloo on the weekend and they had the "Premier Edition" movie deluxes out... I guess it's really a "preview" edition? $29 each... Ouch, they don't look as good as the TR deluxes...

Also had those tiny Legion class figures for $8... OP, BB, that terrible looking Grimlock, etc.

[Bumbleb33]

TR Titan Master Repugnus and wave mates at Kmart Joondalup for $9.00.

[Bumbleb33]

Oh forgot to mention that Kmart Joondalup also had Roadburn and Brawn TR Legends.

[GALVATOM]

Saw RID Warrior Starscream deluxe for the first time in a store at Target stockland south street. Sadly it was the only one though and I bought it

The movie premiere deluxes are $36 there also they have all bar Barricade

[requiemau88]

Toyworld Mandurah has reopened, they have one sky shadow left for 90, two TR megs and Op voyager, plus a few random movie and wave three TR stuff

Big W mandurah had RiD Warrior Blurr Skywarp and Soundwave

Target meadow springs had wave one of deluxe movie stuff

Happy hunting

[snaketales]

Kmart Morley had TR optimus and megatron this morning

[millhouse]

Kmart Innaloo has TR Legends wave 4 (Roadburn/Brawn)

[Batfan007]

Kmart Innaloo has TR Legends wave 5 (Roadburn/Brawn)

Those guys are wave 4. Wave 5 is Seaspray and Cosmos. :cool:

[millhouse]

I bloody knew that! Ugh. Chalk it up to a mental typo. Corrected my original post.

Cheers!

[Batfan007]

at big w in cockburn central today and they have RID soundwave, blur, seeker dude and windblade. I grabbed 1 of each (but not windblade, after the old version).

Also plenty of that orange lion head dude. Don't know his name, bought two as none in stock round my way for ages.

[Gasaraki]

Here at Kmart Garden City:

Wave 4 TR Legends here but I've grabbed the only Brawn... 3-4 Roadburn left which will shelf warm I'm afraid. All wave 3 legends still available. Also Voyager OP and Megs present... Wow those chest stickers are a fail!

Movie Premier Deluxes Slash and Berserker present, BB and Barricade out - looks like they're the initial goers then.

Was at kmart Innaloo last night, no Brawn or Chase in sight :(

If you can't find any, they do have them on eBay cheaper than retail price.
They also have them at little toy company.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone seen an TR Sixshots anywhere recently?

Thanks!

[Batfan007]

Hi everyone,

Has anyone seen an TR Sixshots anywhere recently?

Thanks!

not for a while, and only in small numbers when they were around. TRU usually get more leaders than other stores, but I have not been to any in months.

I did see some at TLC online other day...in stock

Thank you :-)

Hi everyone,

Thanks!

There were a fair few at Morley TRU last week, I'd imagine there'd be some at other TRU stores, if you want to pay the 'impatience tax' and pick it up in hand. I figured it cost about $5 more than ordering from the Little Toy Company.

[Omega Metro]

TRU Innaloo have the new Movie Voyager Optimus/Grimlock.

[Omega Metro]

Kmart Clarkson have Brawn and Roadburn.
TRU Joondalup STILL have 3 Takara UW Superion sets at $150 each.

[Batfan007]

TRU Joondalup STILL have 3 Takara UW Superion sets at $150 each.

Damn, if it didnt cost $50 in fuel to get there and back I'd get one. But better off just buying at $200 online and having delivered to my door.

WHY do these bargains turn up in the furthest possible distances from where I live, LOL.

It's a pain TRU don't do delivery. (not from store stock)

I think you mean $30 more. tru leader price is usually $90, like most stores, while TLC has him for $60.

[llamatron]

I got my sixshot from TLC. $70 + $10 shipping from memory.

[snaketales]

I think you mean $30 more. tru leader price is usually $90, like most stores, while TLC has him for $60.

No.
TLC has it for $70 and shipping for me was $15. $70 add $15 equals $85, which is $5 less than TRU's $90.

[llamatron]

That actually sounds about right for mine too.

[Batfan007]

No.
TLC has it for $70 and shipping for me was $15. $70 add $15 equals $85, which is $5 less than TRU's $90.

Whoops, yeah it is $70.

However, with postage if you order only one item, or say 4 items, it's still $15 TOTAL for the postage, even with four average size items - so still works out cheaper than local retail where I would easily spend that or more in fuel to drive north and south of the river to actually get the same four toys for example (seeing as no one store has them all in the last six months, and most stores don't even get leader figures).

I mixed up the current price with the pre-order price, which has been $60 AUD at TLC for recent items, such as the current price of the Sky Shadow leader figure.

[Batfan007]

Stopped in at BIG W Phoenix and they all 4 of the new RID warrior class toys.
Soundwave etc.

They also had movie Barricade, Bert Zerker and Ugly Movie Bee.
Plus the tiny tiny movie ones, and the big tall actionless featureless sexless barbie doll ones.

[snaketales]

There was a titans return powermaster Optimus at Target CBD today buried amongst a sea of Skywarps.
It scanned up at $79, but was on a shelf with a "clearance $59" tag, so I reckon you could argue for the lower price.

[snaketales]

Snagged Krok at Morley target today... no sign of his case mates, what a crock huh?

Thank you thank you, tip your waiters!

[SharkyMcShark]

If anyone fancies a drive and a half TOY AND BIKE WORLD Northam has multiples of Titans Return Voyager Megatron and Optimus Prime

[Omega Metro]

Nothing new but TRU Cannington have moved and expanded their TF section to the front of the store. Plenty of Movie Voyagers, TR Megs/Optimus and Sixshot. All full priced of course.

[snaketales]

Did some driving around today:

Nothing new at Target Midland, Toyworld Midland or Big W Mirrabooka

Kmart Midland and Mirrabooka had TLK deluxes, TLK Optimus and Grimlock (I saw Grimlock only at Mirrabooka) and Krok and Quake (although Midland had only Krok left after I'd been through :D)

[snaketales]

If anyone fancies a drive and a half TOY AND BIKE WORLD Northam has multiples of Titans Return Voyager Megatron and Optimus Prime

I shoulda bought from there instead of ordering online....

[snaketales]

There was a TR Quake at Target CBD today. Just the one.

Nothing new at Myer.

From my travels it seems Breakaway and Doublecross are the shelfwarmers.

[Batfan007]

Thanks for the updates good sir.

I'm gonna keep looking for Percy, but otherwise will order online if I don't find him in next four weeks.

[nyerk]

Finally found perceptor and topspin at Myer cbd just now! (With 20% off for buying two or more) They also had kup and quake.

Oh and TLK voyager optimus, regular price $62.95...

[griffin]

I'm a little ashamed to admit I grabbed one anyway, but only because the 20% off brought it down to about standard retail price.

That and I really wanted it :p

[Gasaraki]

3 TR Legends Brawn left on shelf at Target Carousel when I was there an hour ago. No other notable TR stuff - just the usual waves that's been out for weeks, nil Voyager or Leaders either.

Also saw a RID Warrior Scorponok - interesting looking figure I haven't seen before, not sure if he's one in demand...?

Yeah, I got my one from Canada. First I've heard of ANY in WA.
I got Scorponok and Paralon both (redeco), GREAT figures, top of the line in design and aesthetic from RID imo.

[Batfan007]

BIG W Cockburn ( Spearwood one) has Percy, Krok, Quake in store this week.
They also have voyager movie prime, voyager TR Megs and Prime first time in this particular stores.

[llamatron]

Kmart innaloo

Legends gnaw, brawn, roadburn

New deluxes - topspin, kup, perceptor etc (at least one of each)

4 each of the voyager Optimus and Megatrons.

Was just there at Kmart Innaloo - Yep those TR Legends and Voygers are still there, I grabbed the only Perceptor left but his wave mates are still on shelf, one Topspin left I saw.

Topspin and Kup look kinda rad but I think the last Kup was better and I got that really cool 3rd party Topspin to fulfil my rep for this guy :)

Usual TLK Movie figures - that Voyager Grimlock looks pretty cool in that silver grey but alas it's the old mold, so lets see if it shelf warms...

[Batfan007]

Yup, already mentioned two sightings on previous pages. And I've seen some again this week still there at some stores

I live right next to it, I'll wander in again this week and see what they have and post an update.

Im not after anything now as I got all my stuff on layby and others online so not really looking.

[AJ_Prime]

If anyone is looking for a Titans Return Broadside, there were several at Joondalup Big W on Sunday, in the Transformers display in the aisle leading to the toy section as you walk through the entrance. You'll have to get past all the movie toys first though, those are all at the front. The Broadsides were on the bottom at the rear of the display.

Pretty much the same at BigW Cockburn, must be the current display direction ATM.

[llamatron]

Yeah same at big w karrinyup. Heaps of broadsides.

If you are still after any of them in a weeks time, let me know, I can pick something up for your, but only if you have the $ etc, as too many times in the past I've picked up stuff out of pocket for folks who changed their mind (found a toy elsewhere) then never paid me back, so I kind of avoid doing that now, but if you get desperate and cant find them local please do let me know. :cool:
Chances are you will find them more local to you.

Thanks mate, I grabbed a soundwave in Joondalup :)

[AJ_Prime]

I got in early at at Joondalup today, Trypticons weren't out on the shelves. Had to ask someone to find one from out the back. They were all super helpful though. Took them about 30 mins to find it. Apparently it has the wrong code so they couldn't find it in their systems. Good luck fellow members, I hope you all manage to pick one up!

[Omega Metro]

TRU Cannington have the new TLK exclusive Skullitron and Megatron deluxes. $40 though!!!! But get them to price match BigW catalogue price of $24 which I did for Megatron:D Such a great looking figure!

[Omega Metro]

Saw my first Trypticon sighting at BigW Karrinyup today. I would of bought one if mine wasn't already on the slow boat from Sydney. Myer had those Platinum Megatron/Optimus packs. Leader Skyshadow also.

[Batfan007]

If anyone sees any Trippers south of the river, please post here.

Probably guy buy online, but if I can find one that is not like 50+ km away, may try for a price match like someone on TCAA did (well they said they did).

I put mine on layby at Warnbro on Thursday morning. They had about 10 that morning on the floor near the boys clothing section.

[snaketales]

TR Broadsides, Megatrons and Optimuses, and Rid Soundwaves for those looking at Big W Mirrabooka.

I didn't see any Trypticons, but I wasn't looking too hard.

[Batfan007]

I called on phone today and someone told me exactly that, hope they still have em on pay day.

Just a reminder for anyone hunting Trypticon - he is still available from BIG W online at the sale price (+ $15 shipping) if no stores near you have any.

I'm hoping to get in store so I can try price match, and only if not too far for driving otherwise fuel costs mean I might as well buy online.

[SharkyMcShark]

Toyworld Kalamunda had apparently put out wave 2 of TLK voyagers mere minutes before I walked in at the end of my lunch break. One of each, I got the Megatron.

Also the wave 1 TLK Premium DLX figures were all on sale for $25, with heaps of each available.

The owner told me that the next wave is due in September.

$249 is the sale price and $298 is the listed full price right?

So... why don't people just pre-order from The Little Toy Company? They have it for $195 (plus $15 postage = $210), and with the crappy AUD to USD exchange rate at the moment, I am not aware of a cheaper source.... am I missing something? Anyway, I slammed down my $210 today :D - hopefully they come through with it and don't end up just having to refund me!

Ah, for same reason that I dont want to wait until end of year to get it (impatience tax).
I was going to order there (bought heaps there recently, great online store) but I emailed them to confirm and its not due for several months.

So i went to big w and got them to price match it, and got one for $195 this week.
I'm also paranoid about not getting it at all, I already had one UNSUCCESSFUL pre-order for it elsewhere that was not fulfilled. So im like fuck it, its in stores, in not chancing online running out of stock and then having to pay full retail price.

With the $$ saved on big W purchase, I will be buying even MORE toys at TLC, so they still get more of my money anyhow.

Haha good on you for pulling off that price match! Seems like it depends a little on who you get - frequently staff at department stores have checked sources and said they won't price match something that's not actually in stock elsewhere :) - incidentally this applies to Bunnings and other retailers too.

(NO they do not sell Transformers at Bunnings)

So... since I brought it up, in actuality I saved you $54! When can you buy me lunch? :D

BTW which store had your unsuccessful pre-order?

If you have to ask WHICH store, then you ALREADY know, let's not taint this WA thread with anything remotely connected to that nonsense, at least I don't live in that state.

So, are you the dude that posted in TCAA a week or so ago with the big w price match?

And they SHOULD sell Transformers at Bunnings.

Hmm, to be honest I actually don't know which retailer it would have been... but I agree, best not to besmirch this forum with potential libel!

At any rate - I was one of the idiots braving the school holidays crowds at Carousel today, felt like 10,000 people there crammed in from the rain! And what I have to report is that there is jack all at K-Mart! OK there was one TLN Deluxe Slash, and a whole stack of TR Legends Brawns. But nothing else really of note.

And yes, they SHOULD sell Transformers at Bunnings!!

[Batfan007]

Hmm, to be honest I actually don't know which retailer it would have been... but I agree, best not to besmirch this forum with potential libel!

Tcca is the biggest national transformers collector club around.
It's the next biggest thing in Oz to these forums, I have no idea how many users on otca.

Many members are on both otca and tcca.

I've bought loads of great deals from other club members, but mostly I like seeing up to date info on retail sales, and cool photos of toys etc.
Same shit as here and TFW basically.

Someone price matched on tcca and posted about it, that is why I tried it, never bothered price matching anything before.

I tried it on the weekend but could only get it for $210. Been also told that it should not have been done as the item is not in stock and it should have included the postage costs.

[klystron]

Sorry - this is a little out of date:
On Sat 1 July there was (1 of each) TR Kup, TLK Voyager Hound and Megatron at KMart Rockingham.
I bought the Megs on Sunday, by which time the Kup and Hound were gone.
(Good thing I had hidden the Megatron... :D)

[snaketales]

There was a few Liokaisers on clearance at the Myer CBD today for $100.
There were none at Morley Myer yesterday.

Both stores had Fort Max for $200.

[Omega Metro]

Target Whitfords have 3 Topsins, 3 Kups and couple Perceptors. $25 each

Oh, and BigW has a Trypticon on the floor in the toy bit.

[Gasaraki]

Oh wow... I was a bit flabbergasted after my experience at Big-W Midland Gate today (Tuesday)... I took a Broadside to the service counter (kinda for laughs) to get them to match the The Little Toy Company price of $40. The lady there straight out said no, we don't match online, online will always be cheaper! The $9 difference wasn't worth the time I already spent walking to the store from Target, but I left it anyway...

So I'm trying to check Big-W policies online but the site is under maintenance. The catalog though can be viewed and on page 2 under the "10% Toy Price Guarantee" it does state does not apply to competitor items available online only.

Again, kudos to those who managed to get them to match a Trypticon!

[Gasaraki]

Oh, and I did a quick walk through the Midland Gate stores while I was there (Big-W, Target, K-Mart)... can't remember which was in which store but there was quite a range between them:

TR - all current wave (Perceptor, Kup) deluxes spotted, also all current wave (Brawn) legends, Broadside at Big-W, Trypticon x4 at least at Big-W.

Movie - all premier edition deluxes, saw voyager Megatron for the first time - that plane looks pretty wicked!

RiD - I don't really look very closely at these, but there were plenty of warrior Soundwaves (people seem to be looking for this guy lately) and also Windblade (not sure if this is of interest).

Damn, it's a pretty good time to be a TF Fan!

[Civic Bossman]

K-Mart Belmont had heaps of Voyager Hound and Megatron

[Omega Metro]

Topspin, Kup and RID legion Heatseeker and Cyclonus Target Carousel

[nyerk]

Two broadsides at Kmart Cannington. Plenty of TLK voyager Megatron and hound at TRU Cannington.

[Autocon]

In myers morley. They had big fort max some movies n rid. Some heads only things for $10!!! So damn expensive. White car deluxe rid. Movie voyagers. Didnt look at everything there.

[llamatron]

Kmart Innaloo had tlk voyager Megatron and hound this Arvo.

[ChlorHex]

Cockburn Central Target had the full wave of Titan Masters deluxe class figures... Preceptor, Top Spin, etc... the works.
$25 each.
I didn't bother about the rest as it didn't hold my interest.
50% off Star Wars but there's nothing much there aside from heaps of those new TIE fighters with the Nerf guns... 69 bucks with 50% off.

[reillyd]

Cockburn Central Target had the full wave of Titan Masters deluxe class figures... Preceptor, Top Spin, etc... the works. .

Cockburn.... I believe there's a cream for that now. If pain persists, see your doctor :)

[snaketales]

Morley tru had TLK leader optimus and megatrons today

[Batfan007]

gateways target had some stuff

twintwist or whatever, the one that is out i can never remember which is which, not the unreleased one.,

[llamatron]

Spotted snaketales at Warwick cinema on Sunday afternoon. He had vanished before I could grab him!

Hes a slippery little sucker :D

[snaketales]

I'm limited distribution :D

[Omega Metro]

Just got Leader Megatron at TRU Cannington. Noticed a huge difference in the silver brushing effects on their chests when I was comparing them. One seemed well over done that it looked like a tacky custom and one hardly had any. I grabbed the one in between.:)

Edit....they also have a new lot of RID warriors. The one with Scorponok, Windblade etc

[nyerk]

Voyager Blitzwing and Octane at Kmart Booragoon, one of each.

[Ralph Wiggum]

Slim pickings at BigW Cockburn, two TR Astrotrains and a remote control squeeks. Could be some more squirreled in another section but that was all I saw in the toy section.

[PlatinumAmhibian]

Innaloo Shopping centre seems to have restocked.

Target had a Kup and Perceptor that i passed on.

Kmart had two Blitzwings and and Octone, I picked up a Blitzwing so there is one of each there.

[SharkyMcShark]

I was at TRU Cannington on Sunday.

Nothing out of the ordinary save for the following

TR Trypticon
TR Broadside
TLK Infernocus

All in reasonable numbers (and by out of the ordinary I mean things I've not seen previously).

Otherwise they've got a smattering of Wave 3 of TR Deluxes laying about (mostly Twinfernos) and a metric crap tonne of TLK Voyager wave 2s (as in about 15 of each).

Anyone venturing here should know that their TF section is split into three in three different parts of the shop, which is bizarre and unhelpful. Not even split on the basis of different sublines, just split entirely randomly.

Didn't use to be. Did the split tie in with the movie promotions?

[valkyrie_76]

Went to Kmart Maddington and bought Windblade and Twin Twist.......only wolfwire left.

Kmart Armadale and bought Windblade, Twin Twist and Misfire for someone else.......there was another set there as it must have only gone out today.

Nothing new at Booragoon Kmart or Myer and nothing at Kmart Rockingham.

[Omega Metro]

Got RID Bludgeon, Twinferno and Thermidor from BigW Riverton today. $16 each.

[Tabias Prime]

Belmont Kmart is a deadzone I can tell you that much:(:(:(:(

[nyerk]

Got RID Bludgeon, Twinferno and Thermidor from BigW Riverton today. $16 each.

Ooh any more left? Been looking for a Thermidor.

[Omega Metro]

Don't think so. There was only 1 of each and I took them.

[Batfan007]

Nice, first of heard of Thermidoor being out.

How did you get them for that price instead of $30? :confused:

And did they have any more, im after all three of those?

[griffin]

RID warriors are $20 at BigW... and they had 20% off toys until yesterday.

[Batfan007]

RID warriors are $20 at BigW... and they had 20% off toys until yesterday.

Double sale?

20% off 30 would still not be that cheap??? So did TWO discounts apply to get that price?

All the ones I've bought here in WA were $30?

[Firestorm]

Big W permanently lowered the price of Warriors to $20 a little while back

So the 20% off sale lowered the price from $20 to $16

[Omega Metro]

Yep. What he said.:)

Finally found Combiner Force Shockdrive and Warnado at Kmart Carousel. They did have the new TR deluxes there but saw someone walk out with them leaving 2 Wolfwires on the shelf.

[Batfan007]

Permanently? Like just in some states.
have not seen that reflected here.
SO I can go hunting these new rid warrior class and full price will be $20?

Or back up to 30 after post toy sale SALE /clearance has finished yesterday?

Excuse me asking enless questions, but the stores are a 10-20 km drive away, so dont want to waste fuel if they are still 30
and my local one never has RID anything.

Forgot to mention few days ago picked up this dude at Kmart

http://i.imgur.com/Oo6MGhU.jpg

They also had that crash combiner version of him (two bots) and the Cyclonus crash combiner (two bots become one)
