Some were ridiculous like amazon unicron $250

some really good like tfm1 voyagers $29 and universe bruticus $69
They said that they had more out back that would be going to supernova.

Myer morley has Voyager Starscream and bulkhead in the Prime variety, as well as those remote control car doohickies that looks vaguely like Bumblebee and Knockdown.
remote cars were $45, can't remember the price of the voyagers as I was too shocked at those horrible weapons they get saddled with.

Myer CBD had Prime Vgrs tonight for 36.95 considering their catalogue price is 44.95 and their shelf price is 59.95 I'd say this was a stuff up though it might provide an opportunity for some to pickup Wave 2 pieces at a reasonable price. In saying that though Myer CBD now only has Vgr Primes left.
Also;
Target CBD had Kreo SS and BB for $16!!! I am not sure if that was a catalogue item????

TRU was a sea of cliffjumpers
and K-mart was a lot of bees and unsold movie stuff
so yeah other than ratchet..nothing new
(Ratchet is awesome btw)
AJ_Prime
8th July 2012, 09:10 PM
Target Joondalup has a few Prime OP and BB Weaponisers, left 'em there. They also had Special Ops Ratchet (DotM repaint), was tempted but couldn't justify another (even though IMO he looks better than the original colour)...
They also had DotM Jolt which is a nice figure and craploads of whatever wave DotM BB comes with that.
Re: Prime stuff, just the usual CJs and BBs overstock...

Not really a sighting per se. I recieved the Reject shop catalogue in the post box today and it had the listing of RTS deluxes, stealth force and gobots. Sale on from July 12.
So it looks like because we are in Wait Awhile, we had to wait a week or so. So if you are interested, might be worth checking your local Reject shop.
Assuming you have one. I have no idea where my closest one would be.

There was also a leader Sentinel Prime red-stickered at $70 but scanning as $50. Box is a bit dinged and the sticker said "no battery" but I reckon that could be easy fixed. If I didnt already have one I'd snap it up.

I was there around 2:30-ish. Didn't see any on shelf and there wasn't an empty spot. I asked a staff if they had any Masterpiece Optimus Prime at the back. He asked another girl and she told me they couldn't sell it yet. She said it's going to be featured in a catalogue for a sale starting on the 31st this month. She also said they received 8 for the Cannington store and further restock will be unlikely.

So it looks like some staff sold it to Decepticon and James. But Deadonarrival and I were refused by other staff??? :confused:
The girl asked for my name first before telling me all that, and I thought it was a little unusual. Did any of you who managed to get the toy - called them first before going in?
deadonarrival
19th October 2012, 03:10 AM
I hope they have more than 8 that sucks if they only do have 8. the way the bloke said it today after me and aqua asked them the first one was no we don't have any then when we said we knew someone bought one it was they are getting more stock in for a sale round the 1st.

I put my name down for it on Monday I think. But went in to Cannington yesterday, asked some guy if they had any out the back, he went out and checked, came back and said not until November.:confused:
So 5 minutes after I got home I got a phone call and was told they have just arrived off the loading dock. I was actually very SHOCKED that they even bothered to phone me so quickly. .....she deserves a medal for doing that.
So it all depends who you talk to.

Kyle
19th October 2012, 10:04 AM
She was the same girl I spoke to. I think it's very clear. She probably reserved for the people who phoned in, but the stock was running out so she's saving some for the sale on 31st. I don't think we want to get someone into trouble over a toy for their good intention, so I would suggest not mentioning her name on the forum. Just being careful.
And I didn't phone the store before - thinking it would pester and annoy them... :o

I find the limited numbers of these items almost laughable, Hasbro's performance in general has been abysmal for the supply of waves of the regular release items. Now they are dropping the ball with such limited numbers on items supposedly more aimed at the collector, I know they had issues with some of the MP line at TRU but I think that was more price orientated than demand. This is why I no longer actively run around from store to store anymore chasing items as all it does is waste my petrol. I have now gone back to collecting other things (Except for the items I get off members) like Microman and Saint Seiya.

Yes Kyle gave me a ring this morning as he went down pretty early (Around 9:00am I think or earlier)and they were already sold out O_o. I'll put it down to pathetic stocking of an item and not a huge rush, 8 was all they had originally I think which I believe 2 of our members managed to get before they were on the shelves. 6 items for a sale, Speaks volumes as far as I 'm concerned, I'm leaning towards what you are doing nyerk and buying online but this item isn't high on my collecting wants, It was more of a case of the convenience of actually just going down to the local shop. One thing I know I won't be doing is buying it off ebay from Aussie sellers.

The MP OPs must of sold out because I was there around 1:00pm and I didn't see any. I bought 1 of the MP TCs so only 2 remain. I admittely am a little underwhelmed by the paint applications around the cockpit and face considering they are supposed to be masterpieces by anyway... You take what you can get.

Hey Guys,
Some of you know me as AquaPrimes brother and I've most probably shook hands with you at Nexus one time or other.
I know what went down at TRU Cannington Wednesday morning because I was there. I was also there the afternoon 2 were sold at first, then they magically they ran out of stock before the sale. I went in there planning to get 2 MP Primes for aqua and myself. I was expecting none or a sea of them just in time and to last for the sale period. What did I find? 3 MP Primes and 3 MP Thundercrackers ( no MP Thunderstorms for aqua's amusement lol).
There was a dude that got in to the shelves in front of me, that got me nervous, but he grabbed one of each. That left 2 MP Primes and MP Thundercrackers left, and with myself originally planning to one for aqua AND I like I originally did, I grabbed those. So wtf? They stock 3 MP Prime and 3 MP Thundercrackers for a sale that's suppose to last till 13 November and knowing well before that there's been a lot of calls, questions and interest in these figures.
I am really sorry because I hate for anyone in this fandom to miss out. I really do hope there is more stock coming out in future and i hate that you guys maybe be missing out because of this kinda stuff up. Aqua even called in on the Monday as asked around and was told to not even come in on the Wednesday and try the weekend. TRU just ain't what it use to be.
Aqua Prime
1st November 2012, 10:09 AM
Hey Bro :)
Yep I dropped in on Monday, hoping, *just in case* they may have some out or I could find a helper that could "hook a brother up". Got told they don't have him and "to try back mid to early November" I was actually expecting there to be none for the sale.
I feel that the way TRU has handled this whole thing was a complete fiasco, and it sucks that people have missed out getting him. Trust me it sucks being the recipient of both MP Prime and Thundercracker (sadly no Thunderstorms) to hear that everyone else is as annoyed and peeved off as I was earlier in this thread. It kind of makes it bitter sweet, but if there's some silver lining to this cloud, at least we screwed the scalpers out of 2 OP and TC. That's no consolation to everyone that missed out. If I see them pop up again I'll try and grab them for you guys that missed out.

I agree. As long as the people buying multiples are buying them to help out other collectors here, and not to just resell them for profit, I don't think too many people here will be too upset about it.
It sucks missing out on a rare item (it happens to me as well... mostly because I'm too lazy to run around for a toy :o ), but it doesn't suck as much if I knew that it was a scalper buying them up.

It wouldn't surprise me if they intentionally only purchased a very small amount of stock for the promotion then will purchase larger numbers after its finished. From a business perspective maybe their intention was always to only sell a few to build up the hype and demand only to see it satisfied after the promotion, when they can make some serious coin.
Having said that, I could be giving them too much credit. Either way TRU is making a fortune from these, whether it be selling for $130 or $150 when you see it selling for $99 in the US. And that's $US, not $AU. So even lower still at our rates. Even after you add the cost of shipping, which would be minimal considering how much stock they would import, we're still being ripped off royally.
I am glad I managed to acquire one before they all sold out, however I have read that the quality is not that of Takara standard. It is certainly noticeable with some paint apps scratched or scuffed and one of the cab lights (above windows) has a chip on the end. Easily fixed, but for that price I would've expected more perfection. Having said that I'm still happy with the figure but still retain a little disappointment with the quality.

Midland Toyworld had them a couple of weeks ago.
is Toyworld open on Sunday? I might go check it out, it's website says it's closed Sundays, but maybe they've just not updated? Can anyone verify? I want those Combaticons lol :p

Last time I checked they were closed on Sundays, but in previous years they have been open in the lead up to Christmas.
Safest thing to do would be to ring them to A check they're open B that they still have the Combaticons and C that they can hold them for you.
There is also a Kalamunda Toyworld, but that is even more of a hike.
Best of luck!

They also have new supply of MP-10 out back but haven't put these out yet as 'there is no shelf room' !!? OK, admittedly lots of the current space are taken up by about 7 HFTD Leader Primes. They'll probably take one out for you if you ask nicely.
Funny, you'd think they didn't want to sell these things...
I want those Combaticons lol :p
I saw a g2 set at TRU morley if you want those colours.
Didn't spy any Masterpieces, but I wasn't really looking that hard.
they did have a bunch of the FOC data discs, bot sets as well. $15 each

Hmmm... guess they must've been freshly put out just that day! I was there at about 1pm. They were in the usual TF section, which is a pretty small stretch along an aisle, next to Star Wars section as they usually are.
I see you posted on Tuesday? I was there on Monday actually...

FOC wave 3 deluxes finally spotted at K-mart Midland Gate!
All 5 were out - the figures look FAR better than wave 1, with the large weapons & better paint, so I just couldn't resist getting them! 1 each left of Starscream, Magnus, Kickback, and Sideswipe (I got the only Air Raid).
Still one TFP Voyager Starscream sitting there.

There's heaps of DOTM deluxes at the Reject Shop in Rocky City Shopping center.
Including Air Raid. After I searched hi and low for him, and had to get him from USA, he turns up in the reject shop for $12. :mad::mad::mad:
Since its such an awesome mould, I'm thinking of getting one to customise.
And a TopSpin just for the weapons.

What an interesting sale from Reject Shops...
Karawara branch have 2 Darksteels, 1 Ratchet, 1 Nitro Bee & 1 Cyberfire Bee left. I picked up the 1 Topspin they had.
Reject Shop website says they no longer deal with factory seconds/rejects, but the Cyberfire Bee I also got sure feels like a 'reject' - one of the leg joints was super loose, like there's some serious plastic missing!
