Big W Cockburn = Utter and Epic Fail. Nothing RotF related. Not even shelf space.

Big W Armadale = Better. Lots of Leaders, Voyagers, Preview Deluxes, Fabs, Scouts & Legends.

K-Mart & Target Armadale = Ghost town. Zip.

If some nice Gropers see Wave 1 Deluxes at a Big W in the coming days please let me know. :o

Target - ROTF madness, 15% off all tf's. No more $20 universe voyagers
Kmart - No ROTF, still has $39 animated leaders but no megs.

Big W Midland is the place to go, Scouts/Legends seem to be the main fillers but there were a few Voyagers and some deluxes (Sideswipe, Sideways, Rampage and Breakway) too. That and a fair few Animated Voyagers, but no discounts sadly:(.

Re. Target Universe Voyagers - for those wanting to take advantage of 15% off $25 for Universe Voyagers, Target Perth has a fair few Blades, Blaster, and the ubiquitous Dropshots, while Bullcreek is the place to go for Inferno, Leo Prime, that Cybertron cement mixer repaint, and also Dropshot (and they have heaps of them all). Both have new RotF stock too, but Big W has the best prices as usual. Target Bullcreek had a few Human Alliance Bumblebees too.
The Ice-cream twins are nowhere to be found, sadly.

Target Freo has the new RotF stock, and one or 2 Stealth Lockdown packs on clearance.

Found a Universe Sidswipe in Myers Perth, but 1: that was midday and it may well be gone and 2: aside from that there's not much there you can't get from other stores for less money.

Kmart Midland has some new RotF stock, but you're better off going there for last-minute Animated buys (they do have that Classics Jetfire repaint, I forget the name, for $36, otherwise it's pretty meh).

Toyworld Freo has new stock, and is so far the only place I've seen that has RotF Ransack and Depth Charge (didn't get either, Ransack looks interesting but I'll wait for sales down the track) - everywhere else had heaps of the other Scouts (Dirt Boss looks to be the slowest mover thus far) but not them. Also of note are that they've priced Movie1 Voyager Megatron, Animated Cybertron mode Megatron, and 2 Voyager Bulkheads at $30, as well as a few other bits and pieces.

Big W Cockburn = Utter and Epic Fail. Nothing RotF related. Not even shelf space.

Yeah this is my local they did have signage up by 7:00 this evening but I spoke with the attendant for the toy section, she stated she had the stuff in stock but Cockburn Big W was sticking to the embargo and that the toys were to be shelved tomorrow night after closing.

Kmart Kardinya had Leader Prime and Megatron for $79 today, I wasn't there myself but my father who I sent to get me one stated he saw 6 Megatrons and 3 Primes of which he bought one. My God the new Prime is just a stunning example of engineering art. If you are on the fence got off it and go buy one!

They are idiots, I work at Big W and the hasbro rep was in on Tuesday and told us that the official austrailan release date was Thur 28/5 but obviously they couldnt change the sign on the boxes that states 30/5. This was communicated to all Big W stores

Toyworld Freo has the HA BB. Pretty cool lookin but for $40 (or was it $50, dam, cant remember, sorry) it was well beyond my means at the moment.

They also had at least some wave 2 deluxes (saw Smokescreen (jazz repaint)) and wave 2 legends (picked up Megatron).

Target Freo still has lots of TFU Infernos if anyone is still looking for him. They still have most of wave 1 ROTF, didnt see a Sideswipe though.

Freo Toyworld is now down to 3 Human Alliance Bumblebees, and they're going for $49.99. FYI i tried Subiaco and Claremont Toyworld too - Subiaco is clueless, and Claremont had none out at the moment, but were still unboxing and weren't sure if there were any.

Hi Fellas,
Just FYI Cockburn Gateways Big W now has ROTF figures on shelf and available for sale they had the following:

3 + Leader Prime
3 + Leader Megs
10 + Deluxe Rampage
6 + Deluxe Sideswipe
5 + Deluxe Sideways
4 + Deluxe Breakaway
6 + Power Bot Bumblebee
3 + Power Bot Megatron
4 + Bumblebee Helmet
1 x Voyager Starscream
2 x Voyager Demolisher
Heaps of Wave 1 Scouts and Legends

I didn't really get prices as I was only there for deluxes which were at $24.93.
I picked up Breakaway, Sideways and Sideswipe for myself.

Hi Fellas,
Litte update just went to Freo Toyworld to get my Human Alliance Bumblebee, they'd put more out with a total of 6 well 5 now :D, but the rest of their ROTF stock was sorely depleted so either they've sold heaps or haven't finished putting it out.
They did have a few Preview BBs and Soundwaves though.

Myer Perth & David Jones Perth have nothing in ROTF line thus far...

Target Perth has only a few ROTF accessory stuff, as before - not even a scout or fast-action battler to be seen.

Target Innaloo:
(Reporting on ROTF only)
Went back again after thinking about whether to pick up Voyager Starscream with the 15% off...
They put out only one each of the Voyagers - glad Screamer was still there.
Deluxes were out today - with 15% off they were ~$24.50, which is about as good as we can probably hope for. Alas, sale ended today.
Plenty of scouts, and a few each of the leaders too.

Dropped by Toyworld Claremont today.

They have a few universe ultra class going for a 'discounted price' of $50.

Not much ROTF stock:
No human alliance.
Mostly preview wave figures & voyagers.
Some leaderclass figures - Prime was going for $109.00.

I wanted to put them on layby but apparently TRU don't do layby.

I'm having trouble convincing myself to spend that much on them, especially when one is a repaint.

I have also seen TFA Shockwave/Bumblebee and Ratchet/Sunstorm double packs in KMart.

Yeah, I don't think I can justify $80, even though I want Darkwind/wing to go with Dreadwind. Unfortunately He's $40 US at RK now, which, when adding shipping and converting to AUD, equals around $81 AUD. Bah.

Think I'll just wait until they mark them down.

Man it just seems like TRU has no idea with their pricing sometimes.

ROTF Voyagers Mixmaster and Megatron
Animated Shockwave and Sunstorm packs with activators. (I hate hasbro aus doing this to the poor suckers that imported, like me!)
Animated Jetstorm and Jetfire packs

Today's foray into the CBD...

Myer Perth:
Finally has ROTF out, but only the 2 preview Deluxes, and Gravity bots.
The Deluxe price looks to be $31.95.
Of interest is that there was one TFU Voyager Threadbolt.
Big red stocktake sale banners everywhere, but no discount on TF toys!

David Jones Perth:
ROTF at last.
All wave one now out on the shelves, but at inflated DJ prices of course.
I didn't bother looking too closely, but Scouts are $17.95 and Deluxes $29.95.
Better than Myer, and perhaps will be good when there's a nice sale.

Saw pretty much all of ROTF wave 1 at Rockingham Kmart today. Whole isle full of TF stuff (inc FABs and all those other lines that I dont pay much attention to :o). Also TFA 2-packs: Shockwave/Bumblebee and Sunstorm/Rachet.
Was pleasantly surprised -- not expecting to ever see TFA Shockwave/Longarm on shelves in Aust. Was in a bit of a rush (spent alot of time with ROTF Starscream :cool: in my hands going "...ummmmmm...") so didnt check price of TFA 2-packs.

...wave 1 except scouts Ransack and Depthcharge. Are these two short stocked or what?

Firecracker
6th June 2009, 07:04 PM

Ransack and Depthcharge are wave 2.

I've checked K-Mart at Rocko City several time since the release date, only figures I ever found were Rampages. Nice to hear they've finally got their act together and actually dedicated more than 6 pegs to Rotf.

6th June 2009, 07:20 PM
Ransack and Depthcharge are wave 2.


OK. me = confused. I thought all thats out at the moment was wave 1, but after checking Griffins post, I see its all wave 1 and 2. so consider that a correction to my previous post.
Still though, Ransack and Depthcharge seem to be somewhat rare given that all the rest of wave 1 & 2 are on the shelves.
Also, I saw a skids (jazz repaint) at Freo Toyworld. Apparently he's wave 3...?

kurdt_the_goat
6th June 2009, 08:01 PM
Seems to be the norm - Kmart Garden City has Voyager Mixmaster and Megatron, plus Sunstorm/Ratchet and Purple Shockwave/Bumblebee.. heaps of both, together with pretty much all of ROTF Wave 1 still.

I believe only Toyworld stores have wave 2 scouts, most likely because they got a condensed wave 1 & 2 assortments. It is all a bit over the place considering:
K-mart - All Wave 1 + Wave 3 Voyagers
Toyworld - All Wave 1 + Wave 2 Scouts + Half Wave 2 Deluxes (Basically, a Wave 1 revision assortment) + Wave 2 Voyagers.

Also, personally I count Soundwave and Bumblebee as a Preview wave, therefore Sideswipe, etc. are Wave 1 and Skids, Chromia, etc. are Wave 2.
The Jazz repaint is Smokescreen. If you do see Skids, a green car make sure you tell me before anyone else.:p:D

Gasaraki

ROTF toys by wave, for clarity:
* = repaint/remold

Legends:
Wave 1 = Bumblebee, Jetfire, Prime, Springer
Wave 2 = Megatron, Sideswipe, Starscream*, Ratchet*
Wave 3 = Ironhide*, Mudflap, Grindor*, Fallen

Scout:
Wave 1 = Rollbar, Deadend, Knockout, Dirtboss
Wave 2 = Depthcharge, Ransack
Wave 3 = Scalpel, Dunerunner, Reverb

Deluxe:
Preview = Soundwave, Bumblebee* (controversial if this is actually 'Wave 1')
Wave 1 = Sideways, Sideswipe, Rampage, Breakaway
Wave 2 = Skids, Chromia, Smokescreen*, Wheelie, Brawl*
Wave 3 = Cannon Bumblebee, Ravage, Mudflap, Barricade*

Voyager:
Wave 1 = Starscream, Prime*, Demolisher, Ironhide*
Wave 2 = Fallen, Rachet* (? wave 1.5), Megatron, Mixmaster

Leader:
Wave 1 = Prime, Megatron
Wave 2 = Jetfire
Wave 3 = Starscream???

With toys held back for a 'release date' I guess it meant that the first 2-3 waves have been backing up at Hasbro by the time they started releasing them to stores. So some stores got just first wave cases, and others have been seen with wave 2 and 3 cases of some size classes.
I think in this first month, look around the different store chains (if possible in your area), as you will find different items in different store chains. But by the time the movie comes out, we'll probably see most places caught up as they restock.

The recolour of Jazz is a sad attempt by Hasbro to be Smokescreen, but yes, would look more like Skids with that dark blue and little bit of red...

I was in Toys R Us Joondalup today.

You've probably seen the catalogue - spend over $100 and get a free voyager.

I picked up 2 Ultras I don't have - Darkwing and Countdown - 59.99 each and got to pick a free Voyager

Now - they didn't have anything I don't already have so I picked a Tread Bolt to open but they had Heavy Load, Dropshot and TreadBolts (lots of TB's)..

And ofcourse the new ROTF range which I'll pass on until further down the track, but I did pick up an OP Voyager a week or so ago in the Target sale @ 15% Off. The $99 ROTF Leader OP's @ TRU are overpriced.

Today's foray...

Kmart Innaloo:
Still one of the better ROTF displays I've seen. Two whole shelves!
All Wave 1 Deluxes still in droves. No sign of Wave 2.
Voyager Crabitron and Mixmaster were out today... so tempted to get Mixie :rolleyes:
Wave 1 Voyagers all still there, but oddly only 1 Ironhide - I would've thought most would pass on the remold/recolour.
Wave 1 Leaders, Wave 1 Scouts, Wave 1 to 3 Legends all available.
Wave 1 & 2 FABs out - Jetfire is a joke!

Price points as follows:
Leader $99.00
Voyager $49.00
Deluxe/FAB/Gravbot $28.99
Scout $15.99
Legend $6.99

TFA Sunstorm and Shockwave battle packs were out.

Target Innaloo:
Looks like most of their ROTF stock have been bought up.
Only thing of 'note' is that TFA Deluxe Bumblebee, Lockdown, and Swindle, and Activator Thundercracker were on the shelf.

ROTF:
A few wave 1 Legends left
Most of wave 1 scouts
most of wave 1 Deluxes
Wave 1 and 2 Voyagers (a few each of Mixmaster and megatron)
Lots of Leader Megatron and one Prime
Lots of the FABs including wave with Jolt (unsure of which wave that is)

Oddly enough, there were 3 TF1 Ratchets marked down to $40

Universe:
TFU Legends Jazz (lots)
Lots of last waves of Deluxes (Smokescreen, Hound, Dinobot, Cheetor)

Animated:
Big selection of Deluxes from Ratchet to Sentinel Prime

And thats about all I can remember at the moment.

and TreadBolts (lots of TB's)...

No joking, same story at TRU cannington.

They had an uber ROTF display. In the normal TF aisle there were lots of universe countdowns, darkwings and powerglide. More movie mudflaps than you can poke a stick at. Animated cybertron megatron and jetfire/jetstorm.

Thanks for this INSANE tip-off! The Japanese transformers were from the galaxy force and robot masters line. I only got what I coveted so theres plenty left for others :D. They close down on Tuesday so get in quick.

I dunno what these guys are smoking... no restock of any ROTF Deluxes, and only a pitiful couple of Voyagers out.

On a side note: Anyone thats into GI Joe might interested to hear that both Myer and Toyworld Freo had the beginnings of GI Joe movie stuff out. Toyworld have a few more vehicles than Myer but Myer had the Joe Mighty Mugs.

Yep, I found that too... here's my roundup from today's Gasaraki's after-work runaround:

Kmart Innaloo:
Sale on today, but prices slightly different than advertised.
ROTF Deluxes shelf labelled at $19, Leaders at $68.
Didn't see a label for the Voyagers, didn't bother checking.
This looks like a response to Big-W's sale to me.

All in all though, nothing too new but there was a single Cannonbee and a couple of Desert Brawls. Allright, who's buying all this up!!?? :eek::p
This is a little bewildering... I'm still to hear of any Skids sightings.
Oh... also Wave 3 FAB was out - Screamer, Mudflap, Ironhide...

Big-W Karrinyup:
Sale on, as everybody in the world knows.
Prices something like 18c cheaper than K-mart in ROTF range, plus they had some interesting stuff out as well...

Universe:
The Cybertron repaint/reissue Deluxe 5 pack for $66, or something close to that, which is probably the cheapest Deluxe price we will ever see - $13 each!
Legacy of Bumblebee still out, but no discount, $49.

ROTF:
Voyager Rachet and Fallen available here, $36.xx
Deluxes Wave 4 all out - Cannonbee, Mudflap, Barrikebab, Ravage.
Alas, personally I was looking for Skids!

Myer Karrinyup:
G1 reissue OP going for $68.
Otherwise nothing else very interesting here.

DJ Karrinyup:
Don't bother... unless you want a Universe Hound for $32, or something similarly uninspiring.

i used you bumbl3b33 as a refernece that you already got one and Kyle, and she wanted me to prove which register and they shoudlnt of done it in the first place.

I even showed them the image of someones reciept from Liverpool target, and she said this is BULLCREEK MATE!!!! :mad:

My excitement turned into dust. :(

I hope you guys scored today... cause im not paying $200!!!!


I'm sorry to hear this mate, coz they definitely price matched for me, maybe the girl working my checkout was sweet for me hahahaha.

When I went in the girl at the counter was very nice, I asked can you price match and she said yes, I showed her the Big W brochure and she processed the sale. I am wondering though if maybe she rung it up as an Optimus Prime because I heard her think out loud as she processed the sale and said something like "hmmm optimus...".
I am looking here at the receipt, she made the deduction of $32.26 using "Reason Code 3" not sure if that means price match on the Target system.

Even though the sale is still about 3 weeks away, Jetfire should be out in force by then, and Target's sale price will be within a couple dollars of the current BigW/Kmart price. And even if your Targets somehow sell out before then, but you find them in a TRU, you only need the Target catalogue and they will price-match it. And maybe even Kmart and BigW if your lucky.

But yeah, it will be a painfully long wait (for me too...) :(

did you get a price mactch?

as soon as i saw this post i was pumped!!! i got in my car drove 45mins, 1/4 tank later i got to bullcreek target.

Kurdt gave me a phone message about the Bullcreek sighting while I was doing groceries this morning (Thanks heaps buddy! :D), and I got there within an hour. Took the Big W catalog with me but the checkout girl was a young one and had no clue about price matching so she called her superior. It took about 5 minutes for her to show up while all the customers behind me were waiting. She said "we don't price match" then just turned around and walked away. I thought it was pretty rude. :(

I was weak and bought the toy though (and I bought 2 :o ). Really have no patience at all to wait any longer haha. Thought it was funny the plastic bag cost 20c and they gave me a receipt for it.

I gave phone messages to Orion, Roller, Herecticpoo and Bruticus etc. If other WA folks would like me to add them to my list please PM me your mobile. ;)

SentinelPrime I didn't notice you at all. Must have been trying the price match at the counter at the time. :p

Did two things today, handed in my resume at various places whilst looking for jetfire!

Visited Toys R Us Canningtonl; nothing new there cept the FALLEN and the ROTF Whilr packs for 59.99

Went to target Carousel and K mart Carousel, nothing there cept Target now having stock of the FALLEN.

So i gave in and went to Bullcreek target and spotted 4 of the 8 jetfires found earlier by u guys.

Snapped one up hoping someone there would give me a price match with Big W's awesome price; didnt' get approached by the manager with the mole like u guys did but instead someone about the same age. She explained that Target only does price matches when the product they have is on sale...

oh well. here's hoping that jetfire will appear in kmarts, big W's and Toys R us b4 the 15th of July!

Target Rockingham had at least one Leader Jetfire that I saw (it was over by boys' clothing (I think)) All their TF stuff is spread out in 3 or 4 different spots in the store. But it sure does look like they are gearing up for their upcoming sale.

Nothing too exciting at my end...

Kmart Innaloo had quite a load of Jetfires out for $69... at least 8, probably 10+ on the display. Also had plenty of Megatron & Primes. Crap thing is that there was almost no new stuff in Deluxe. Or Voyager for that matter.

Target Innaloo was most dissappointing. Allegedly Aust Biggest Toy Sale, but the TF section was still kinda stripped (well, OK, they had early wave Voyagers). And no special display... just their usual small section.

lol i chose a good jetfire, probably can't give u a photo but i can tell u what to avoid.

u know those whisker like things that come out from the side of his head? Some of the jetfires had chafed whiskers. Just look for a jetfire where his whiskers are uniform in colour (perfectly all black). Kmart would be the best place for jetfire as many ppl have been duped into thinking he may be a target exclusive since he wasn't released anywhere else but target before today (or maybe this week since i gave up looking for jetfire last week :p)

Target Freo had one Voyager Fallen, other than that it was pretty scarce as to TFs, the usual stuff and not much of it. No Jetfires to be seen unless they had another TF section somewhere, I looked around but other than a couple of Prime helmets, I didnt see anything.

Toyworld Freo has... wait for it... Wave 3 Legends! Woot! Finally got the Mudflap I've been looking for. I think I got the last one, but there was at least one legends Fallen, 2 Ironhides and 2 Grindors left. Not much else to report from there, usual stuff again. I did see a TFA Waspinator if anyone is still looking for one (although they're 29.99).

*edit: Oh I did also see the red repaint of the Scout bike (Reverb?) at Toyworld. And after browsing the aquisitions thread, I noticed he's in the same wave (?) as Scalpel and Dunerunner, but I didnt notice either of those.

Aisles were literally strewn with toys, and at one stage something flew by me and crashed into an opposite wall. Twas a couple of 8-9 year-olds, and I think it was a GI Joe something.

Anyway, looks like someone took a bazooka to the TF section, as I only saw 2 ROTF deluxe Sideways, and a few Leader Megs, and pretty much absolutely nothing of interest... except there was one Animated Samurai Prowl (which I'm not sure qualifies as 'interesting').

So i said i'll look for it in target; couldn't find one. I then went back to kmart to pick up the other grindor and price matched it at the games/dvd section and the girl there happily price matched it for me :D.

lol i grabbed the last long haul, no grindor left but not sure if i wanted him. I never got M1 Blackout, Any good??

Also i got Robot heroes Predaking(G1), Riccochet(G1), Inferno(BW), Cheetor(BM), Tankor(BM), Tigertron(BW) at TRU Cannington.

lol was a bit skeptical as he's like the exact same mold as Blackout; but yea he's pretty awesome if u don't own blackout. Btw there's an evac still available at myers carousel (blackout repaint); he's ugly as feck thou.

Was tempted to get longhaul too (he was awesome in the game); but lookin at the quality of the robot mold of the toy kinda put me off (he looks shite compared to the movie/game lol)

Figures Direct have Jolt, Skids, Chromia, Wheelie, Icecream Twins and Blazemaster in stock. I picked them all up bar Wheelie for $28.00 a piece.

Jolt is absolutely awesome, I would highly recommend him.

Morley TRU has been cleaned out of Leaders and Voyagers.. except for dozens of Treadbolts (and one Blaster in a beat-up box I found for my eldest son).

Hi Guys,

Spotted Power Bots Optimus Prime ($79.95) tonight at Success Toyworld, I don't think this has been spotted in Perth yet has it?
They also had plenty of Jolt, Deadend, Sideswipe, Breakaway, Rampage and Bumblebee (Deluxe).
They also had quite a few voyagers, Ratchet, Demolisher, Starscream, Mixmaster and Long Haul.

I also ducked into Cockburn Gateway Big W, they had plent of Jolt, Deadend and Blazemaster. They also had plenty of Scalpel, Dunerunner and Reverb.
