paid a visit to toyworld midland today, it took a while to get there but i think 3 deluxe reveal the shield figures for less than $45 is worth it :)

still plenty of tracks, jazz, wreckgar's available for under $15 as well as a couple of lugnuts for under $25.

good times!

EDIT: thanks for the heads up Tabias Prime!

A little bit annoyed... Balcatta had them at $15ea but then decided to jack the price up to $18ea which I reluctantly paid assuming that the special was over and they bumped the price up slightly after the sale. Oh well, you win some, you lose some and $18ea is still good value considering.

Dropped by TRU Cannington today.... No MP Rodimus yet.

Kmart Maddington
Have some Generations Warpaths and Wheeljacks for those still interested/ hunting. They also had (excuse my ignorance here) those little DOTM matchbox car type flip over *I'm a robot now* things.
Translucent Mirage
Translucent Bumblebee and

My turn to visit today! At the moment still plenty of RTS but only one 1 each of Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, and Jazz remaining, and 2 Lugnuts and 3 Mindwipe redecos. Tracks, Bee & OP all >1 available. Nil Generations at all.

DOTM figures were boring common stuff at full Toyworld pricing.

Big win for me was picking up Leader Starscream for $49.99!! Only spotted one unfortunately. Strange that it's the only HFTD figure discounted, deluxes still full price @ $29.99.

I popped in to Midland Toyworld this morning - I guess they replenished their shelves because there were at least two of each RTS mold (Tracks, Perceptor, Wreckgar, Jazz, Bumblebee and laser prime) at $15... including a bin that seemed full of Bumblebees! I picked up a Jazz as a Christmas present for my nine-year-old son (thinking ahead ;)).

Only 1 Strafe and 3 Lugnuts left that I could see.

Amongst all the normal DOTM rubbish, there was 2x DOTM Skyhammer at Rockingham Kmart today. Didn't scan it to check, but was labelled $49.
Some cats seem interested in this figure, so I thought I'd make mention of it.

Awesome! Picked me up a $15 RTS Bumblebee from Freo. There was 1 Tracks & 1 Bumblebee left.

He's going to make a pretty decent Hubcap when Renderform release the new head:

Haha.... you beat me to it! After all the recent posts, I just had to check it out and pick one up myself.... at least 7 MP Rodimus left on shelf there :) Not at the big DOTM display up front, but down the bottom of usual TF area.

Also, more Skyhammers (5+) together than I've seen anywhere else. And a couple of Topspins too if anyone is still looking for him.

Quality is actually better as far as I have read... Takara one has better colours on the robot hands-down, but Hasbro fixed a weak rivet on the rotating leg panels (black in Takara, red in Hasbro) that tended to break easily. This was a crucial fix I reckon.

Also, Hasbro weapons and accessories have better paint apps, and you get Offshoot minicon. You don't get the trailer of course, but the figure is more Hot Rod than Rodimus Prime anyway.

yoshi594
14th August 2011, 08:56 PM

Not yet, same old human Alliacnes as normal around morley

Did see some MP Roddies at Toys R us morley yesterday. About 6 on the shelf in the TF section if anyone is still hunting them down.

Had a laugh, as $80 Roddy is sitting next to $250 Ghost Starscream.


Oh yeh, forgot that I also saw the Darth Vader/Anakin ship thing that changes into the 4 modes, of which I can't rememerb their names. But it was the about leader sized one. One mode was Darth, one Anakin, one the imperial cruiser (?) and the rebel ship I guess. About $80 I think for that too.

Man... Bunbury toyworld has RTS g2 prime(x2)...

I'll have to check the Rockingham Toyworld since I now want a G2 Prime after Lint's "razorbeastification" of the RtS G2 Prime.
(Razorbeastification is the Klystronverse term for when a comic writer takes a mediocre toy/character and morphs it into a "hero" figure but means of a cool comic/story/etc, thereby artificially increasing the toys overall worth. See examples - BW Razorbeast, and G1 Bludgeon).

...slightly side tracked there...

There are a couple of Thundercrackers and Wheeljacks at KMart in Rockingham hiding amongst all the DOTM rubbish/shelfwarmers.

I was SOOOO tempted to pick up that Scourge. I had him in hand for about 15mins and put him back. He's still there :)

I managed to snag a Scanning Sideswipe. He was stashed on top of Constructicon Devastator. I'm still annoyed at how crappy that section is and the lack of deluxes which I didn't see on the rear end caps... *shakes fist*

It was me that put the Sideswipe on the top of the Devastators! It had a tear in the plastic/card so threw it back.
Had an arguement with one of the staff cos only the scanning Sideswipe was $20.99 and the others were still $29.99(scanning series). He said we can only sell the ones that are scanning at $20.99 for that price. So then went and showed him the deluxes on the back end that were ticketed at $23.99 (but were scanning at $20.99 or $29.99). The scanning Ironhides, Ratchets, BBs and SS were all mixed up with the normal deluxes.
MAN! they have huge tiketing problems in that store!!:mad:

Christalcase mentioned seeing them some time ago, and I've been looking everywhere for them, but he never posted anything about it at the time.
He said that they came with some character thing inside - and since there were a couple dozen to collect in blind packaging, he thought it would take a lot of gummie eating to get the set.
(since I never saw them, and there mustn't have been many released... collecting a set may have been impossible here anyway)

Oh god I don't want them that much!

Quiet day today so "KIIIIDS, Pack yer bags, we're goin fer a road trip!"

And thus I bundled the wife and I (representing the kids) and verily we ventured off to the countryside and visited Joondalup. It was an exciting trip fraught with danger and too scary for this time slot. Upon reaching Joondalup, as the sound of banjoes rang in our ears, I came to the realisation that I had no idea where TRU was.

So, putting my country town knowledge to use (i.e There is one main road and everything is on that) I explored the main road and lo and behold, the faded sign of TRU didst engage mine eye from across some bushes. A turn of a corner and a short crossing of a bridge later, I was parking my valiant steed int he carpark, after narrowly avoiding some wally in a large carriage as they reversed out of their spot without looking. :/ Welcome the the styx...

When I entered the establishment, I confirmed my suspicions that I had never been here before. 1. I had no idea where it was. 2. It was dark, so very dark. Don't they have power this far out from civilisation?

It was also fairly untidy... I circumnavigated the site (to take in the views) and found on the shelves, hiding amougnts the DOTM rubbish, two cartons of deluxes. Ooo, and most importantly two Soundwaves! Tadaaah! A quick comparison later I had the better one in my hands and I wandered off to the checkout, after checking the Voyagers of course. Yup! Megatron still looks like ass.

$30 ( !!) later I had my Soundwave and we went into Lakeside for lunch, where my ability to wield chopsticks was questioned because "You don't look like you can handle chopsticks." Mayhap I shouldn't have insulted the lowly spork she offered me beforehand... But they are truly an abomination!! Perhaps the spork has a following up in this far away land.

My adventure continues, but it gets less exciting from this point on. However the moral of the lesson is, do not spurn the spork, as it appears to have some admirers.



Erm, so back on topic, there was another S/Wave left and a heap of BB, CJ and WJ

Slag
24th February 2012, 11:01 PM
Ha . A very entertaining read..:) We used to call them Splades??
Now they could be entirely different things , but if they're not, i guess sporks makes much more sense. ( a cross between a spoon and a fork as opposed to a cross between a spoon and a err blade?_? yet still with fork tines that get no mention) Maybe the word splade should be reserved for just a spoon with a sharp edge.

It was an exciting trip fraught with danger and too scary for this time slot. Upon reaching Joondalup, as the sound of banjoes rang in our ears, I came to the realisation that I had no idea where TRU was.

So, putting my country town knowledge to use (i.e There is one main road and everything is on that) I explored the main road and lo and behold, the faded sign of TRU didst engage mine eye from across some bushes. A turn of a corner and a short crossing of a bridge later, I was parking my valiant steed int he carpark, after narrowly avoiding some wally in a large carriage as they reversed out of their spot without looking. :/ Welcome the the styx...

When I entered the establishment, I confirmed my suspicions that I had never been here before. 1. I had no idea where it was. 2. It was dark, so very dark. Don't they have power this far out from civilisation?

It was also fairly untidy... I circumnavigated the site (to take in the views) and found on the shelves, hiding amougnts the DOTM rubbish, two cartons of deluxes. Ooo, and most importantly two Soundwaves! Tadaaah! A quick comparison later I had the better one in my hands and I wandered off to the checkout, after checking the Voyagers of course. Yup! Megatron still looks like ass.

$30 ( !!) later I had my Soundwave and we went into Lakeside for lunch, where my ability to wield chopsticks was questioned because "You don't look like you can handle chopsticks." Mayhap I shouldn't have insulted the lowly spork she offered me beforehand... But they are truly an abomination!! Perhaps the spork has a following up in this far away land.

My adventure continues, but it gets less exciting from this point on. However the moral of the lesson is, do not spurn the spork, as it appears to have some admirers.



Erm, so back on topic, there was another S/Wave left and a heap of BB, CJ and WJ

You went to joondalup and you didnt get glassed or stabbed? THIS STORY IS MERELY FICTION!

:D

Well at least Tetsuwan did get a Soundwave.
In TRU Carousel, since most of the kids did not know much about TF Prime, none of the Prime stuff wasn't touched (even Wheeljack);). Until the (presumed) collectors before took all the Soundwaves:mad:.
Although I did grab a Wheeljack.

Just went to Joondalup TRU still has Soundwaves and Wheeljacks. HEEEEAAAAPS of Optimus and a few Megatrons.

I have Soundy incoming from overseas so I only picked up Megatron

Still can't believe they've actually released them before the Hasbro announced released date of March (although I suppose we're not that far away now), and also before the series hits our screens.

Very entertaining stories about Joondalup, have to agree with you Accel, can't believe TRU Joondalup actually has some TF stock that isn't 2 years out of date!

griffin
25th February 2012, 08:40 PM
Release dates are a rough estimate, based on when Hasbro expects to get the stock, and when retailers distribute them through their supply chains. It's more of a guide as to when consumers should be able to find them easily at all stockists planning to sell them (provided there aren't any production or shipping delays).
It's just better to have them early than late though.

http://i91.photobucket.com/albums/k313/Wootnchoo/Photo0032.jpg

Interested in the humans, but I think the Bumblebee is the normal Prime bee, not FE so not inclined. Slightly Skywarpy colour on Starscream as well, with lots of Purple and even more Hasbro grey. not a great bargain either at $59.95, so still $30 per deluxe with some free squishies thrown in;)

Wanna read that comic though! Closer shot. Interesing European Packaging.

Is the Starscream cockpit clear like the instructions and package show or is it opaque?

Cyberwing

The comic is just a book with the European tech specs of each character with one sentence to describe them and the cockpit will probably be an opaque light purple colour.

Bumblebee (no surprise there), Mudflap, golden Optimus one and a couple of others. No Human alliance either, and a wide range of Cyberverse doohikys.
