Saw these today with Tets. The JP Animated look very nice in person. BB is so shiny and looks so much better than the Hasbro yellow version.

Yeh, but lee TV accurate. I do like the new paint jobs on all that I have so far.

Target Morley have nothing new. Nor does Kmart Morley. BAH! I need to get to TRU and have a look....

Is the shiny Ravage lotsabucks?

Its alright, but I'm not overly a fan of vacuum metalising (I'm still scarred from Beast Wars). There were dozens of them at Cannington TRU when I went last Friday.

Anyone know where I can get a bludgeon? I've finally cracked and want one.

I'm bumping here because the last sighting was from about two weeks ago.

Last time I checked Success Big W still had one, Toyworld Success did as well but that was atleast a week ago so...

SharkyMcShark
2nd May 2010, 10:11 PM
Why is it always Success with you people? The only good thing about Success is the laugh I get driving past Cockburn.

That said I have a tantilising four hour break tomorrow at uni...

My belated search for bludgeon goes on, the first leg ending in disappointment as Vic Park target does not carry voyagers from the movie. Lots of early wave rotf stuff though, and animated voyager bulkhead and megatron

If you are having so much trouble, may be an idea to ask someone from another state for assistance, as we have seen quite a number in Sydney, mainly Blacktown where there were apparently mountains of him.

Just a thought :)

I saw this post on Saturday. I was in charge of my work that day so I let everyone go early at 4.15 and raced off from Northbridge to Midland. Got green lights all the way to Bassendean, which has never happened before. Got into Big W with 20 minutes to spare and there Bludgeon was.

He's gone now. :D

Cheers Lint :)

A mate of mine picked up Dirge and Armorhide from a BigW south of Perth. Sorry, forgot to ask which one but I assume it was either belmont or Riverton.

Got Bludgeon finally. He's my first ever movie toy (yeah, I lasted 3 years without one) and he's quite awesome.

Found him in Morley Target of all places (they never usually have anything). Didn't see any extras though.

snaketales
20th May 2010, 03:52 PM
There was a Bludgeon at Morley Toys R Us lunchtime today (May 20), behind a row of Mindwipes and Recon Ironhides.

And a bazillion recon Ravages. :rolleyes:

22nd May 2010, 06:43 PM
Sorry Tabias, but that Bludgeon is now in my living room waiting to be opened.

Toyworld Subiaco has the new yellow pack Scouts ($20) and Legends ($8) together with 5 pack PCC's ($44). They didn't get any of my pennies though! Will wait for general release to get Hubcap & Legends Ravage, both of which looked very nice.

SharkyMcShark
22nd May 2010, 06:57 PM
So tempted to get the new Scout molds this morning, but getting MP Skywarp took my weekly spend up to $200, so I decided to wait.

Does anyone know when the next wave of ROTF Human Alliance figures are coming out? I'm keen to get my hands on HA Skidz and Mudflap but haven't seen them anywhere.

I saw some info somewhere that they may be released in Oz in June 2010 so am hoping this info is correct. Can anyone either confirm or deny this? :confused:

griffin
26th May 2010, 12:38 AM
The last bit of info was that some will be released mid year at Kmart, and more at the end of the year. Perhaps for the mid-year sale.

AJ_Prime
26th May 2010, 08:02 PM
Aweome, thanks for that info griffin, ur a legend! I was worried I'd have to buy it online from overseas and pay more than I had to. (Although it would have been worth it!).

On that note do you know if Dropkick (deluxe I think) is being released soon also? It's another one I'd love to add to my growing collection.

SharkyMcShark
26th May 2010, 08:51 PM
Dropkick was the deluxe ute looking thing from the first movie's toyline.

I don't know what you're referring to specifically but that's the only toy bearing that name ever released.

KaRNiV8L PRiME
26th May 2010, 10:12 PM
toyworld success had the new powercore combiners but wow $42 for 5pk and $22 for 2pk. Had new legends and scouts reasonably priced though. Sadly no seaspray

ah thanks SharkyMcShark, it seems I got my wires crossed on that one. On the upside I should be able to pick one up from ebay pretty cheap now that it's so old. Still hanging for the new HA though... :cool:

There's a repaint out at retail if you want, in a two pack with Sideways.

Blowpipe v Sideways, that's what its called. He's mostly blue.

theres also a red repaint aswell
i can do comparason pics?

AJ_Prime
27th May 2010, 11:43 PM
Thanks again guys, sorry if I have the wrong forum for this post. I am particularly fond of the paintjob of the original dropkick figure (decepticon logo over hood and bonnet). I've seen a pic of the red repaint (blowpipe) but not the blue one. I will prob persist with obtaining one through ebay, on that note I think I've found one for a reasonable price...

Autocon I'm pretty sure I recall seeing a couple of recon ironhides at kmart or target at joondalup a couple of weeks ago, not sure if they are still there but could be worth a check (or if you live far away maybe another member could check for you?) Think they may also have had some red rampages, but can't be sure. If not Kmart Clarkson may have one (again I'm sure I've spotted these somewhere and I usually don't go to many other shopping centres...)

Bumbleb33
27th May 2010, 11:49 PM
Big W Success had absolutely tonnes of deluxes including mutliple Dirge's + Armourhides if any one is still looking. They also had a couple of Bludgeons and Mindwipes.

1 x Seaspray left
They did have the new Night Ops Ratchet and Payload, but they were behind the counter so I assume they were holding them for someone.
Plenty of Brimstone, Hubcap and Legends Ravage.

Quickstrike
29th May 2010, 08:16 PM
The Power Core Combiner 2-packs are the same price as normal Scouts at Big W, which is pretty cool. I really didn't want to pay $22 or whatever it was people have been saying.

Did the ring around for anyone chasing HTFD SS or WFC BB or OP south of the river:

Success Toyworld = Nothing
Canningvale Toyworld = Nothing
Kmart Garden City = Nothing
Kmart Kardinya = Nothing
Armadale Toyworld = Generations WAVE 1! No HFTD SS though.
The guy there told me he had atleast 2x Drifts, 2x Thrusts, 2x WFC BBs and 2x WFC OPs.
Could be more as he had received a massive pile of stock.

I picked up 2x WFC BBs and 1x WFC Prime

Generations wave is $29.99

I went and got Prime and Thrust today, I'm still on the not getting it side of the fence on Bee - the most compelling reason I can think of at this point is that seeing as this line is all deluxes I stand a reasonable chance of being able to go completist. Otherwise he's left me unenthused.

Also what's the go with the new movie activators? They're getting a lot of hype for being from one of the auxiliary size classes.

Cannington Toyworld same thing happened:mad:

To be fair most Toyworlds haven't dedicated whole pegs to generations stuff, it seems like they just fitted them on top of ROTF pegs where they could. I would say it only takes 1 or 2 collectors to make generations scarce at a particular store.

Also damned kids are getting savvy these days. Gone are the days where children had to beg to even visit a toy store with a parent. I've seen more than one mother being out on a shopping trip at Toyworld with a shopping list written by their kid :rolleyes:

For the seventh time in this thread, I'm so glad that my local Toyworld is reasonably out of the way. I went back two days after the figures were put out and most of them were still there - all the ones down on the flats got cleared out fairly fast.

I realise in saying that that I may draw scalpers attention to it but to be honest if they're that desperate that they're going to drive all the way out here to make marginal profit on a $30 dollar action figure they probably need it more than me.

Existing ROTF Leader Class OP still going for $87.66 or around that price.....maybe they will reduce them in the Toy Sale. Bonus pack is $20 cheaper and includes $20 deluxe class.

Midland Toyworld had a few Seaprays. Midland Big Dubs had a heap of WFC Optimus and Gen Thrusts. No Drifts though.

I don't really follow the ROTF line, but noticed there were what looked like some newer Scouts (the white/red motorbike - is that Reverb?) and the other 'chopper' style motorbike that would make a good repaint into Cy-kill. Could be old news though.

Drifts and Thrusts have hit Morley TRU. I saw either Optimus or Bumblebee there too (or maybe both... been a long day)
with the current 20% off prices it makes TRU aboout 80 cents cheaper than Big W for Generations figs

So as far as I can figure, to get my hands on a Drift it is just Toyworlds and Big Ws that have them in stock at the moment?

P.S. Cheers for Skystalker Valks, he's pretty damn neat. Had him facing off against Seaspray on my desk for a while and while he's definitely out-sized, I'd still put my money on the little guy.

Went looking for Drift today. No sign of him at Midland Toyworld, target, Kmart or Big W. None at TRU Morley, Myer Kmart either. Almost gave up, but decided to try Subi Toyworld and there he was on the front of the shelves. Finally!

Still one left, at the crazy over-inflated price of $33.

Did see PCC 5-pack Doubleclutch at Kmart Midland and a few more at Kmart Morley. Didn't spot Mudslinger but I wasn't looking too hard.

Hi all!

On something completely different and quite exciting (to me anyway), is the new Hunt for Decepticons Leader Class Starscream! (a.k.a. upcoming MP Movie Starscream) and on a lesser note also the Hunt for Decepticon Leader Class Battle Hooks Optimus Prime

Also saw TF: WFC Optimus Prime and TF Generations Thrust.

All the above TF were sighted at David Jones, Perth CBD.

I got the last HfD Starscream on the shelf but they may restock later on for those of you who are interested!

Really liked HfD Starscream he's a very solid robot mode / accurate jet mode with nice lights and sounds (disappointingly the Starscream voice is not the real actor in the movie!)

Did my usual rounds during work (Kalamunda Toyworld, Empire Toys, Cannington TRU and Midland Toyworld essentially)

Lots of restocking going on - I'm considering picking up another ROTF Brawn.

Still nothing new though (ie we're still at wave 1 of PCC, Generations, and Autobot Alliance), although the Autobot Alliance deluxes (yellow box stuff) have filtered through to all the shops now (were previously only seen at TRU).

Empire haven't got anything new going on, same shelf of a few Japan Animated Megs, Primes, Bees and Screamers, and a bunch of Alternity Primes and Megatrons.

Still awaiting PCC 2 pack wave 2 stuff - I want Lead Foot damn it, he has a late G1/early G2 charm about him.

okay went down to inalloo shops this evening and found:

Kmart:
about 10 each of haman alliance bb, skids and sideswipe- i would have purchased them but i just think $50 is way to much for the figures.
alswell as a heap of hftd deluxes( ravage, bb, ironhide, and that plane one(i dont recall the name)
other than those they also had a bunch of ultimate bb's and 2 big devastators aswell as the hftd scouts and a few of the legends(no new ones at all)

Target:
the same hftd deluxes and scouts and legends as kmart aswell as many many more ultimate bb's. they also had some of the 2 pack deluxe sideways and wheelie, and the 2 pack voyager optimus with i think it was deluxe bb. the also had a bunch of legends devys

out of all of this i only picked myself up a deluxe ironhide which i must say is a great figure. highly suggest him for any fan of the character, a heap better than the voyager as he has no floppy chest pieces, it all tabs into place:D

Transformers Generations (finally!) but no Drift
"Warriors of Three Worlds" scout 3-pack $35. Interestingly the pack advertised Universe Sideswipe and Galvatron as "also available". I guess this pack has been around for a while

Warriors from 3-worlds is just 3 Cybertron Scout toys. It has the 25th anniversary bit on the box, but is actually Universe, not Generations (easy mistake, since it is over a year old, while Universe was still being used).

I just can't justify the 150 for that given it's a full $50 more than the seeker mold, which is more complex.

I think it's more to do with the fact that he's an electronic figure as well.

I think he has more diecast parts as well (not too sure but...is it me or is my skywarp/starscream like 95% plastic? i'm not sure which pieces are diecast lol).

also the takara edition is like 150 and 48 dollars for postage on ebay and iirc...this edition of the figure doesn't come with "waiterbot" (the apron, metal dish with the cups).

Don't forget RK guys, their price works out considerably cheaper at the moment!

Remember both MP Prime and Megatron had electronics as well, so i doubt that's entirely the reason for the higher cost of Grimlock.

MP prime and megatron cost more then any other cos they were huge as well. secondly...megatron won't see the light of day outside of japan unless imported (which i did :D)

Also wasn't the hasbro anniversary prime a similar price to grimlocks?
