Toyworld continues to have the worst pricing but first sightings of many new toys!

Toyworld Adelaide has Chromia, Wheelie and Skids for $29.99. Skids has the 'SKIDS' numberplate, so this may mean he has the gold tooth running change as well.

Its Mudflap with the changed plate, Skids was always a "skids" plate I think.

My local toyworld pretty much ALWAYS has deluxes at $24.99, unfortunately they are slow to bring in stock.

Saw Wheelie, Skids, Chromia, Megatron & the Fallen today.

And the Optimus Prime voice changer helmet. It looks very different, the mouth plate has a different texture! The phrases are different too - it's still Cullen's voice, but has new "robotic" effects added to it (like g1 Soundwave did)

Hi guys,

Just signed up for your site. Is there a section where I can introduce myself? I will hopefully stick around here.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has seen any Masterpiece Transformers in SA. Ideally looking for Starscream or Grimlock (is he even out yet)?

Also interested in the 25th Anniversary Starscream if I cannot find the Masterpiece.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You can get the hasbro MP Screamer from toyworld of $90 I think
MP Grimlock is at Shin Tokyo for approx $250+

Nothing new at Target Sefton Park (heaps of Leader Jetfire) and central (Leaders sold out).

City Toyworld has LONG HAUL and GRINDOR voyager..... too bad they don't price match....

23rd July 2009, 05:10 PM
Kmart at Noarlunga have stocked a heap of RotF voyager Megatrons. They also have a couple of deluxe Brawls and a Smokescreen.

Target at Morphett Vale had about 10 Leader Jetfires and 15-20 leader Prime/voyager Crumplezone 2 packs.

Harbourtown Toyworld has a whole bunch of stuff. I just picked up the ice cream truck version of Skids and Mudflap. There's still one there as well as a few Jolts, the helicopter (can't remember his name) and others. They also have five Masterpiece Starscreams (Hasbro version). Didn't expect to see the icecream truck so I was pretty wrapped.

Hey guys, I'm new here, so please forgive me if this is nothing new, but if anyone is looking for Scalpel or Dune Runner (a sweet little guy imo), I've seen them both at TTP K-Mart, TTP Big W & Ingle Farm K-Mart yesterday if that helps anyone. Oh, and TTP Big W had 1 Reverb too, but I already got Knock Out and prefer his colours, so I didn't bother with Reverb.

Has anyone ever seen any Human Alliance figures in SA? Or did we get shafted?

Yeah, the workers there wouldnt have a clue about Transformers. They just work there to get paid, relying on customers knowing what they want themselves.

From what I can remember being in stock.

Well, my wife was in a "family excursion" mood, so we hopped on the train to town, and I ended up seeing ShinTokyo after all. Better stuff than I expected tbh, as I've never looked there since I started collecting officially (3 years ago). I didn't even consider we had a local Henkei importer (yeah, I know, pretty dumb of me =oP), and with Deluxes at $29 each (for most of them, the rest were $45 less 20%), I ended up with my first 3 Henkei figures (Galv, Smoke & Lambor). I had only chosen Galv & Lambor, my wife was digging the colour scheme of Smokescreen, which I was in two minds about (as I'm not a fan of having re-paints/moulds in my collection), but when the missus is telling you to get a Transformer, why not, eh? =oP

Funny thing; when I called 2 days ago, the guy said they had no Binaltechs, but they had Alternators. Turns out these "Alternators" they have are Binaltechs... Once again, a big rawr for ShinTokyo staff product knowledge... -.-

Anyhoo, anyone else curious about their sale, here's what I can recall seeing:

Henkei:
-Jetfire
-Inferno
-Sideswipe (Lambor)
-Sunstreaker
-Silver Streak
-Prowl (would've got if I didn't have the Hasbro)
-Galvatron
-Tankor
-Megatron
-Bumblebee
-Starscream
-3-pack Legends: Beachcomber/Brawn/Cliffjumper & Cosmo/Warpath/Wheelie.
-Dinobot

Binaltech: (Hundred a piece less 20% = more cookies than I'd like to pay)
-Arcee
-Skids
-Convoy
-Argent Meister
-Bluestreak

Encore:
-Pretty much all of them except Megs, Soundwave and Omega from what I could see.

Masterpiece:
-Megs
-Starscream (the Jap remake of Hasbro's, not MP-3)
-Ultra Magnus
-Skywarp
-Thundercracker

That's the majority of what they have, maybe a few bits 'n' pieces more (like a couple of Beast Wars things), so I hope that helps someone somewhere somehow.

i went into shintokyo on sunday 4th and noticed they restocked henkei mirage and i was so tempted to buy it but had already spent $400 at hlj.com (free express shipping promotion) and a few hundred from members on this forum, so decided not to.

it was marked at $39.90 and members price $34.90. i thought, i should be able to find it cheaper online.

today i was in norwood near the city, so said screw it, i'll buy mirage anyway and give shintokyo some more of my money thinking i'll support them a little since they're local.

but wtf? the price was raised by $5! I argued with the staff about this but they denied it all. annoyed by all this i left and didnt bother buying it.

so now i've decided they can go !@#$ themselves.

i actually paid $40 each for the henkei C-18/19 minibot attack/spy teams even when i knew i could get them cheaper from robotkingdom. they dont even have any chrome on them! rip off.

so i hate you shintokyo. go to hell.

My experiences with Shin Tokyo have been great! Sure, some of their staff don't always know what they're talking about, but that's no different to Kmart or TRU.

As for the price, maybe it was part of their sale? Maybe it was priced incorrectly on Sunday and someone else changed it? Dunno. All I do know is that $44.90 (which I'm guessing is the price you saw today) is what Henkeis usually cost there, so anything cheaper would have been a sale/mistake/bargain price.

yeah this is the only problem i've had with them so far. if they had admitted it being a pricing error then i would have been fine with that. but im pretty sure a few of the less popular henkeis were priced at $39.90 and not the usual $44.90.

it definately wasnt a sale price. those are yellow ticketed.

This is what I dont understand... When I got mine at Hollywood 2-3 weeks back, there was at least 20 Silverbolts. So is this just parents getting random TF's for their kids to shut them up, or is there a legion of undiscovered TF collectors in Adelaide? Cause even if every SA member on OTCA got one, they would still have some left unless there are some closet collectors around maybe? =oP

Found these 2-packs at Hollywood Plaza Target today, same price, and had 4 of each left.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=133725&postcount=303

I bought both packs, quite happy with the Air Raid/Storm Surge pack, but the Clocker/Hardtop pack had some QC issues, namely the two swinging plates on the back of Clockers legs look like they were moulded with much cheaper plastic (looks warped), and therefore don't actually clip where they are supposed to. I might return it, but as many here may know, it can sometimes be a bad move to return a 10 minutes to beer-o-clock figure, and end up with a dead on beer-o-clock figure =oP

I bought both these two packs too since the guys I wanted came in different packs :rolleyes:

Air Raid looked cool on the back of the pack (and didn't disappoint either) whilst Storm Surge looked/is kinda lame (what's up with his arms/hands or lack thereof?)

I thought Clocker looked pretty ordinary (and still does) whist Hardtop was the one I really wanted in this pack... the pic on the packaging made him look awesome (which he is)!

Yeah you're not alone in your complaint about the clip things on the back of his legs... mine actually fell off a couple of times whilst transforming him, so I guess yours isn't an isolated incident - just a poor design and/or manufacturing process.

I feel kinda cheated spending $60 for both packs... the quality's just not really there - maybe worth $20/pack not $30

This plagued me many times when seeing this guy in a single pack from the Movie 1 line, I love his alt, and bot mode is cool, except for those poorly thought out arms... Such a shame, as it's my only main gripe on an otherwise cool Scout.


I thought Clocker looked pretty ordinary (and still does) whist Hardtop was the one I really wanted in this pack... the pic on the packaging made him look awesome (which he is)!

I quite like Clockers alt, but the most appealing part to me from his alt is entirely lost in bot (his bonnet/windscreen):( But yeah, Hardtop is a cool little guy for sure =o)


Yeah you're not alone in your complaint about the clip things on the back of his legs... mine actually fell off a couple of times whilst transforming him, so I guess yours isn't an isolated incident - just a poor design and/or manufacturing process.

Hrmm... Both comforting and disappointing at the same time. Mine fell off the second I touched it, but after some messing I got it to stay there at least. I guess being an obvious widespread issue, probably not much point returning him, as it is out of site in both modes after all, which is possibly why QC didn't care about the issue.


I feel kinda cheated spending $60 for both packs... the quality's just not really there - maybe worth $20/pack not $30

Very agreed, but I kept putting them off from the Movie 1 line, then missed out, and the box they were displayed in was labelled in big letters "WHILE STOCKS LAST", which suggested they weren't a standard production run quantity, so I figured I'd regret it if I waited for a sale and they sold out beforehand. Oh well, as I tell my lovely wife, I don't drink, smoke, gamble, speed, do drugs etc etc, so Transformers are a much cheaper option (comparitively) =oP Even $50 for the lot would've been nicer, but in the end, still cheaper than them seperately (Toyworld wanted $19.95 each :mad:)

Lol, funny you say that, because after I posted that the other night, I actually reviewed the instructions (I usually attempt transformation without them), and found out I am supposed to slide the little grey bits back, presenting a crab claw-like look, which I thought was quite an improvement and quite suiting, being a sea-based alt and all =oP

If people are after a particular item in a particular wave perhaps mention it here - perhaps someone else might be able to grab it for you. Some of these items can be a pain in the bum to find. Ive started a strict see it then buy it policy these days.

*facepalm* Dunno why, but I saw these 3 days ago and forgot to post here, naughty me... Anyhoo, I got me Brakedown to, aswell as Sonar, although I'm not sure why =oP I think it's my weakness for black...

Haven't found any of the deluxes yet though, which I want a few of...

Big Wubbleyoo Elizabeth had a single Tuner Mudflap today, but some pesk had ripped the N.E.S.T. sticker off it *peers around the room suspiciously*. Is this something to do with a possible redemption thing? Anyways, I don't like to pay new prices for tampered goods, so I'll wait until they pop up elsewhere. Besides, that deluxe wasn't a high priority for me anyways, I just wanted something new to play with XD So instead I got The Fallen Voyager from Target.

Anyone else notice Big W dropped their prices? Deluxes are now $24.48 (they were $25.88 the other day), and Scouts were around 50c cheaper too iirc. Yay for us =o)

Oh, and they had a couple of Jolt's too, one of which I picked up for Wayne.

Yeah, his bot is a bit ordinary imo, but I luuurve his alt, so he's a keeper for me =o) Still regretting getting Sonar though, now I have 2 of a mold that I can't decide if I love or hate...

These N.E.S.T. deluxes are a turd to find... I bet they are a street dated for after xmas or something and the Big W's that have them out already just ignored it.

Went to Galaxy Toys this arvo... heaps of new G1 figures (and I really do mean heaps). The only problem is the price of a lot of it. I really wanted to support the guys and looked around for ages for anything to buy, but most of it is cheaper on ebay sadly :eek:

Still, it's worth a look for some rarer figures if anyone's interested.

I know what you mean dude. Money is too hard to get to just give it away if you dont need too.

On the same token they have to make some money out of it too. I think it would be pretty tough trying to make money in this area when you have to compete with ebay and the like.

I don't mind paying a little extra to them, then I would from ebay, just for the ability to buy it and take it home straight away. But I'm only talking an extra $5-20 tops!

It's when some of these figures are vastly more expensive than ebay prices, that's when I can't really justify it.

Hi everyone,

Today i checked out Target on Main North Road (Sefton Park), Toys R Us on Gepps Cross and Big W Arndale.

Target, like the Rundle St/Pulteney St Target has the 2-Deluxe ROTF Fig Boxsets with Battle Bumblebee/Soundwave and Wheelie/Sideways. No other ROTF deluxe/voyager/leader class figures but plenty of scout figures including 1 nightbeat. Also now they're stocking these new ROTF Digital USB Cameras at like $60 each.

At TRU Gepps X there are plenty of Universe Ultra Class toys and double-voyager packs at $100! (SO EXPENSIVE :( ) and even some ROTF Voyager figs; (Stratosphere and Mixmaster). Not many deluxe figs but from what I saw there were Rampage, Bumblebee and Autobot Gears.

Finally, at Big W Arndale, there are plenty of Deluxe Animated Figures and some new Scout Class ROTF figures including Scattershot and Skystalker. I also saw some old wave Deluxe figures like Rampage and Breakaway.
