Actually guys, scratch that - I'm going to go and do a pricematch at K-Mart. Some of the guys on the other thread suggested it, and my local K-Mart has plenty of Seasprays. :)

Well if things don't work out at K-Mart, I can tell you that I saw at least 3 Sea-Sprays at Big W Arndale for $37ish.

Also, plenty of ROTF Deluxe figures at $12 clearance price still remain at Big W Arndale too (more variety than TTP Big W).

Can you give a rough list of the figures there? I might be heading there tomorrow but I live in the Northeast suburbs so I have no idea if it's worth the trip...

[kaiden]

[spooniebeard]

Kmart West Lakes has 1 each of Gen Megatron and Darkmount. Didn't see a soundwave so I just took a Darkmount for myself, still one left.

[kaiden]

they finally got something new in huh? that store was so depressing to go to.

[spooniebeard]

It's still better than the kmart at Port Adelaide recently. I was checking it near on every day a week or two ago, nothing every time.

[SofaMan]

It's still better than the kmart at Port Adelaide recently. I was checking it near on every day a week or two ago, nothing every time.

They've got Megatron and Darkmount in now - I got Megs from there yesterday along with my price-matched Seaspray.

[SkyWarp91]

Just picked up the only Red Alert (Wave 3 Generations) from Toyworld Rundle Mall. There were no other figures in the wave, however the store is packed full of deluxes now (Waves 1-2 of Generations, and complete Wave 1 of HFTD, HFTD at $20).

Myer Centre Rundle has the 2nd wave of HFTD Deluxes, while Target has the Wave 2 HFTD Legends figures. TRU has nothing new, only the Animated Leader Bulkheads are still on sale at $40.

[kaiden]

KMART WESTLAKES has 3 Terradive + 3 Tomahawk + 2 Jolts left thanks to Skywarp91 for letting me know - got them price matched to big w for $18.66ea

Just a reminder, the big w catalog ends tomorrow so hurry!

[SkyWarp91]

I saw both Mudslinger and Double Clutch PCC 5 packs at Big W Noarlunga and Seaford.



When was the last time you went there BigPenney? are they still there?

[BigPenney]

I haven't been there since so I'm not sure if they're still there.
I'm going there on Thursday though, so I can check then. :)

Cool because that's the only Big W store I've heard of that sells the Wave 2 PCCs at the cheapest price, I'm willing to make a trip to the other side of Adelaide to pick them up. Might do it on saturday based on how many are left.

[BigPenney]

Sorry SkyWarp91, I checked today and they had both sold out :(.

Kmart Noarlunga had 1 Darkmount and 1 Mudslinger 5 pack as it's only new Items.

Big W Noarlunga had the newest HftD Deluxe wave i.e Tuner Skids, Hailstorm, Elita-1 and Sidearm Sideswipe.

Big W Seaford also had them as well as some of the new HftD Legends ( 2 Tracker Hounds and 1 Sandstorm, which I grabbed :D)

[SkyWarp91]

Question: Has anyone been to that toy store at TTP that's called 'Toy Buzz' (or something like that) and is near the Hungry Jacks on the corner opposite TTP shopping centre? Does that store sell TFs?

[Robzy]

Kaiden, those t-shirts look wicked!! :eek:

Target Elizabeth which is normally very dry of anything non mainstream movie line shelf warmers actually had a few generations soundwave/red alerts. $28 which is a little steep however.

My Big W has those as well as Sideswipe and BB. Still a stack of them left.


I was going through some of the robot hero's that have been on the shelf for an eternity and noticed they still have some 25th anniversary packs there- not sure if anyone is still after these?

Elita one was new on the shelves while i think about it too- I want her, but not at full price!

[BigPenney]

I saw 1 Generations Cybertron Megatron and lots of the new HftD Legends (Tracker Hounds, Sandstorm, Long Haul and Override) at Big W Seaford.

I also found RotF Christmas Countdown Calenders, Christmas Stockings and Mugs fill with candy at Cheap as Chips Seaford.

[SpeedBreaker]

If anyones still after Human Alliance Jazz and Bumblebee (with new Sam) they had a couple of each at the Noarlunga TRU this morning. They also still had 1 Masterpiece Grimlock and a few of the Star Wars big AT-AT.

[Jaisun]

Grimlock is tempting, only because I have a gift card to burn, but the trip to Noarlunga is a bit excessive for me, and for you to purchase on my behalf defeats the purpose of the gift card =o( They've ran out of him at town, TTP and Gepps X, hopefully they'll get more in maybe.

[BigPenney]

Did my usual rounds today.

No new stuff found at Big W Noarlunga or Seaford and the only new Item at Kmart Noarlunga was a Generations Cybertronian Megatron.

I also managed to get to Toy World at Morphett Vale however they didn't have anything new, mostly the older HftD deluxe waves plus some Animated voyagers and a single Universe 2008 Blaster (Cybertron Soundwave repaint). :confused:

[SkyWarp91]

Has anyone been to the Toyworld at Norwood? How's the stock there?

[Gutsman Heavy]

Has anyone been to the Toyworld at Norwood? How's the stock there?

Shit if I remember correctly.

[SkyWarp91]

Nothing new in Rundle, same ol' stock at TRU, TW, Target, Myer.

Generations Wave 1-2,
PCC Waves 1-2 (2 at TW only but 5-packs only)
HFTD Deluxe Figs Waves 1-2, Voyagers 1-2 (2 at TW only), No new scouts seen.

Also for the first time just noticed the ROTF Bumblespuds at TW.

If anyone wants an ROTF BB Arm Blaster, Target should have them for $35.

[kaiden]

Saw Generations Dirge & Blurr today at harbour town $30ea. I passed, so someone desperate for them (probably skywarp :P) can pick them up.

[SofaMan]

Saw this PCC Skyburst value pack at TRU Adelaide today

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4104/5170757345_3015daa359.jpg

It's the same price as the normal PCC 5-packs ($39.99), so it's actually some good value from TRU for a change.

not really... 5packs are $30 and 2packs are $15 at big w.

i hear skyburst sucks anyway.

[SofaMan]

My point exactly - TRU will, in this instance, sell you these two toys for less than you can get them at BigW.


i hear skyburst sucks anyway.

The limbs are neat. The robot is meh.

[kaiden]

I wouldn't pay $5 less for a crappy toy... but i guess your point is taken.

[damnyouhussies]

Myer Elizabeth had deluxe Axor for sale, couldn't find a price but I am assuming its the usual 29$ ish they charge at Myers.

I think its the first one I have heard of being seen in SA?

Probably is, last week I gave a call to a TRU and they said for this week expect new stock for toys to be coming to most toy stores!!

[spooniebeard]

Picked up a Generations Soundwave from Kmart West Lakes today. They also had a Red Alert and all the others from the older waves. Thats all I noticed before I saw soundwave :D

Also I have to say that you lot are far more dedicated to spotting stuff then I am. I would go out somewhere, find something then look on here and see it already posted!

Fantastic work fella's, keep it up.

[Robzy]

Found Voyager 'Battle Blade" Optimus Prime today (the one that looks like a smaller version of the ROTF Leader Prime).

[SkyWarp91]

Wave 3 PCC 2-Packs spotted at Big W Arndale

Black Sideswipe at Myer Marion and damn is the box huge! The figure looks much better in person than its promotional pictures, which is a shame cos Universe 2.0 Sideswipe had the same problem!

[Robzy]

Just curious...

1) Has anyone seen Generations Dirge and/or Blurr?

2) Also, any sightings of Reveal the Shield figs (Jazz, Tracks, etc...?) They're supposed to be here now (November)!

Try looking at Big W now for Dirge and Blurr. I bought the last Dirge and Blurr at Marion Big W, but their shelves were empty so I'm expecting a refill just before christmas.

I haven't seen any RVS lately, but I will do a BIG shopping trip tommorrow for you and see.

[kaiden]

I have a Red Alert mosc i want to sell :)

[Robzy]

Try looking at Big W now for Dirge and Blurr.
Cheers :)

I went to the TTP today - found Blurr at Big W, and a couple of Dirges & Blurrs at Kmart. Nothing new at Target or TRU at all.

And still no sign of the RTS figures :(

[Jaisun]

So typical, I was there a couple of days ago for TRU and decided not to check K-Mart/Big W/Target because I was getting sick of looking at the same old shelf warmers, bummer =oP Oh sweety pie? Wanna go for a drive to TTP? Late night shopping =oD

[SkyWarp91]

Went to TRU Gepps X, nothing new apart from the HFTD Deluxe 3-Pack of Rampage, Bumblebee and Ravage for $80. Also plenty of old ROTF deluxes if anyone is still looking (like Sideways etc).

[damnyouhussies]

one each of blurr and dirge left at ttp kmart after my trip today.

[kaiden]

west lakes kmart had a lot blurr and dirge but no soundwave.

[SkyWarp91]

west lakes kmart had a lot blurr and dirge but no soundwave.

Hey guys,

Went to K-Mart West Lakes today. Saw a Deluxe Soundwave, but I decided to hide it behind other deluxe figures so if you're looking for one - better get down to it quick.

But yeah, that store has Terradives, Red Alerts and Tomahawks. Also if anyone was looking for PCC 5-Pack Double-Clutchs, they're there too.

[loophole]

going to marion tommorrow so hopefully i find some dirges and blurrs :D

[Robzy]

Blirges and Durrs are everywhere!

Even David Jones in the city had them tonight.

[SkyWarp91]

they certainly did got mine from Big W :D

[Jaisun]

These (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attachment.php?attachmentid=2981&d=1291070952) found at Parabanks Big Wubbleyoo. Hopefully the Twin Deluxe packs are close behind (as they are all supposed to be part of the sale starting December 2nd).

[SkyWarp91]

Spotted the HFTD Deluxe 2 Packs at Big W Arndale today (Barricade + Sideswipe, Tailwind + Arcee) and Deluxe-Legend 2 Packs (Brawl + Jolt), (Bumblebee + Blackout (more like Orangeout))

[Jaisun]

2x Skullgrins at Parabanks Big W, which weren't there yesterday, so I doubt the Cliffjumpers and Thunderwings would've sold already, so I'm guessing they just grabbed two figures out to fill the display and put the rest out the back until they move more.

[Jaisun]

All four of the AA/HftD 2-Pack Deluxes at Marion Big W, about 10x of each pack. Also had Axor, Rescue Ratchet and Thunderwing.

[BigPenney]

I saw HftD Deluxe Axor and Rescue Ratchet today at Big W Noarlunga.

[Vector Sigma 13]

Dirges, Blurrs, Red Alerts, Soundwaves sighted at K-Mart and Big-W in Marion too!

Everywhere but Renmark!

GRRR

[SkyWarp91]

Went to TRU Gepps X, TTP K-Mart, Big W, Target. Same toys as usual (usual being Generations Waves 1-4, NO Thunderwings, Skullgrins or Cliffjumpers spotted) and same ol' HFTD Waves 1 Voyagers, 1-2 Deluxes (no Terradives, Tomahawks seen) but there are Wave 2 Scouts (Insecticon and Breachers at Target)

Also went to Big W Arndale, no new deluxes seen. Just Waves 1-2 of HFTD Deluxes and only a couple of figures for Generations (Megatron and Darkmount). Also Wave 3 PCC 2-Pack Commanders if anyone is keen on those.

Has anyone spotted HFTD Voyagers Wave 3 yet (with Highbrow and the Blue Fallen?) I'm worried they might skip that wave considering how the shelves never empty of Payload and Seaspray and Ratchet.

[SkyWarp91]

Deluxe Rescue Ratchet, Axor seen at West Lakes K-Mart for $24.
Deluxe Blurr and Dirge also released at the same price.

[SkyWarp91]

Masterpiece Movie Starscream spotted at Shin Tokyo for $130, also the Japanese Generations 2010 Catalogue for $40 and TF Monopoly.

No new toys at Toyworld Rundle, however Thunderwing, Skullgrin and Cliffjumper are seen at TRU. Pics coming soon.

Remind me folks to not go to Marion for the next month or so; it's packed full of mothers and their trolleys and they're all hunting down any form of Bumblebees, especially the Battle Ops BB!

[loophole]

i was at marion this morning and yeah dont go there and the fact there was no new tfs there anyway

[damnyouhussies]

TRU TTP had a thunderwing and a skullgrin today, 30$

They also had the new reveal the shield legends figures, they were on 7$ pegs but would not scan properly, came up as 10$ each at the counter. Not overly happy as I had to wait ten minutes for them to work out the price also.
Lots of megatrons/starscreams/goldbugs and primes.

Saw the new RTS G1 Legends today... Megatron, Prime, Screamer and GoldBug. They were at TRU TTP.

[Robzy]

Kmart Ingle Farm just had a couple of Windchargers (Scout class)... only 1 left now though ;)

[SkyWarp91]

K-MArt West Lakes: RTS SCout Windchargers and Red Brimstone redeco, Sunspot (only 1 seen).

Also new Iron Man 2 wave figures are there too (Guardsman, Classic Iron Monger)

[griffin]

Sunspot (wave 3 Scout with Firetrap) hasn't been sighted yet, so that's a first.

[Jaisun]

Sunspot (wave 3 Scout with Firetrap) hasn't been sighted yet, so that's a first.

I saw about 8x Sunspots along with the Windchargers and Chopsaws at Ingle Farm K-Mart today, but couldn't recall if he had already been sighted, so I didn't mention him earlier sorry.

[damnyouhussies]

I can confirm that there are a dozen sunspots still left at K-mart ingle farm, however post my visit there appears only one windcharger left.

nice toy generally, doesn't sit overly well together in alt mode and tends to pop out a little however.

[Jaisun]

So not just mine then... both a relief and a nuisance =oP

[Robzy]

Windcharger?? I must have got lucky then, coz mine snaps together perfectly.

I think you just have to tab all the parts in securely tbh.

[kaiden]

Awww, must haz Firetrap NOW!! Too far for me though =o( Sunspot is a maybe, but I know I can get him local if I decide on him. Anyone else had any QC issues with the RTS Legends? My Prime has a gash on his faceplate and my SS paint app has a few 'airbrushed' edges, like the template wasn't on properly or something. Dunno if I should keep them sealed to swap when more come in stock or just get over my pedantic-ness =oP

[SofaMan]

TRU has the new wave of Generations Legends - G1 OP, Megatron, Starscream and BB in Goldbug colours.

[kaiden]

$64 for a Binaletch OP? I miiiiggggghhhhhtttttt consider it.

Went to K-Mart West Lakes today; all scouts have been replenished. Also the scouts there are also $8, but there is no sale tag which is why no one has noticed it or bought it...

[Gutsman Heavy]

still scanning at $8? there's hope for a windcharger yet...

[kaiden]

K-Mart TTP restocked RTS Scouts, but normal prices have returned.

Big W TTP now has 5-pack Victory of the Fallen Legends Pack.

[nyerk]

Has anyone seen any of the Reveal the Shield deluxes around the city, specifically Jazz? My family's on holiday there at the moment, and they're looking for a present.:)

Also, in the spirit of contribution, I can report that there is apparently an plentiful supply of Darkmounts and Cybertronian Megatrons in Toyworld.

Haven't seen them around yet unfortunately, but Adelaide are usually a little behind the eastern states. I'm sure if any SA's do find any they'll let you know asap =o)

[SkyWarp91]

TRU Gepps X - Same stuff as usual but don't remember seeing any Springer/Ratbat two packs - but I could have just missed them. Plenty of Terradives, Tomahawks and Electrostatic Jolts for anyone that missed out. And Animated Waspinator on the side shelf for $20.

Big W TTP - Only store that I know of that has Wave 2 PCC 5-Pack Commanders (Double Clutch and Mudslinger)

Target TTP - Suprisingly their TF section is nearly empty! But the store was PACKED AS EVER

TRU TTP - Only store to still have Animated Activators. Same stock as TRU Gepps X too.

K-Mart TTP - Now has Breacher, Insecticon.

[BigPenney]

Found all three of the wave 2 PCC 2 packs (Icepick & Chainclaw, Leadfoot & Pinpoint, Sledge & Throttler) at Kmart Noarlunga.

[BigPenney]

Kmart Noarlunga had 1 Generations Skullgrin (which I grabbed :)) as its only new Transformer.

Toys'R'Us has a heap of the wave 3 PCC 2 packs (Steelshot & Beacon, Windburn & Darkray, Darkstream & Razorbeam).
They also had 1 RtS Legend Gold Bumblebee (which I also grabbed :D)

[Gutsman Heavy]

The new PCC 2packs are at K-Mart TTP

[Robzy]

Shin Tokyo has Predaking (pretty expensive - about $280 I think) :eek: Way more than what I paid online!!

[SkyWarp91]

Banzaitron spotted at K-Mart Marion.

[BigPenney]

Found a few Generation Thunderwing, Skullgrin, Red Alert and WfC Cliffjumper at Kmart Noarlunga.

Nothing new at Big W Noarlunga, although they did have a Animated Blazing Lockdown which they haven't put out before. :confused:

[SofaMan]

Thunderwing, WFC Cliffjumper and Skullgrin at Arndale Big W. $24.66.

[SkyWarp91]

This is a verifcation post for anyone else who maybe looking out for a Legends WFC Starscream.

I found one in the 'bargain bin' at Gametraders Marion, it comes in just a clear plastic bag with (C) Hasbro, Inc. Pawtucket, RI 02862 USA written on it.
Each GT store is independent so good luck hunting.

[loophole]

um i think that is actually a legends figure of cybertron starscream not wfc starscream

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

WFC starscream is a repaint of cybertron legends starscream

[griffin]

um i think that is actually a legends figure of cybertron starscream not wfc starscream

nup, as KP said, the WFC Starscream was a redeco of the Cybertron one (http://www.tfu.info/2005/Decepticon/LOCStarscream/starscream.htm).

Different enough to be interesting. :)

[damnyouhussies]

Target Elizabeth had a selection of generations toys on sale at $22.
Nothing amazing although there was a WFC cliffjumper, dirge, skullgrin amongst the other earlier entries.

[loophole]

i might go hide in the corner now :o

[Robzy]

I've been checking out Big Ws over the past couple of days (TTP, Golden Grove, Cumberland Park) - looking for the new Generations/RTS figs... and haven't found a single thing :(

I hope we won't be too far behind the other states!

Went to Rundle Toyworld, Shin-Tokyo, Toys R Us on Frtiday 28th and yeah, nothing new too. But if anyone was looking for Transformers Generations (Japanese Catalog) book, there is one at Shin Tokyo wedged on the side to the Monopoly box for $40 AUS.

[loophole]

was at Big W this morning and they RTS figures!! they had 2 Bumblbees, 1 Perceptor and 1 or 2 G2 Primes so i picked up a Perceptor and Bumblebee

then on the way home i went to the one on cross rds and they had nothing, i was so hoping for a Wreck-Gar

[Robzy]

Man - I gotta get these!!!! :o

[Vector Sigma 13]

Man - I gotta get these!!!! :o

Me too- the only stock changes at my local Big W were the new legends. Bought all but bumblebee/ gold bug- he bores the daylights out of me. The rest of the figures are awesome!

[loophole]

my local kmart have actually restocked and they had the new RTS stuff so picked up a Wreck - Gar

[Robzy]

Damn you!!! I visited 3 Kmarts, a Big W and a Myer yesterday and saw NOTHING! :(

[SkyWarp91]

PCC Waves 1-2 spotted at Coles Arndale in the toy section. PRice ???

[Robzy]

Found RTS Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Bumblebee & G2 Optimus Prime today at one of my local Kmarts. Only $23.75!

Go get em!!

[Gutsman Heavy]

Please be at TTP...

EDIT: Nope :( they did restock, but only the Thunderwing wave, got a Skullgrin though.

[Jaisun]

I haven't been on much here lately, so this is a little old, but around a week back Parabanks Big Wubbleyoo had 2 each of Wave 1 RTS Deluxes, of which I bought a Wreck-Gar and Perceptor, as Prime does little for me (I had little to do with TF's between G1 and Alternators), and although BB was tempting, I already have Classics BB, so he's on my 'maybe' list for now. Wreck-Gar is very nice, but haven't opened Perceptor yet, been busy nesting the house for bubs number 2 due any time now.

Congrats Jaisun. Do you mean Wave 2 RTS Deluxes?

[Jaisun]

Congrats Jaisun. Do you mean Wave 2 RTS Deluxes?

Ah yes, forgot we got shafted on Wave 1, so I just said Wave 1 because they were the first RTS Deluxes I had seen. Thanks for over-ordering then skipping waves you noob stores... And ty for the congrats =o)

[Gutsman Heavy]

Ingle Farm restocked, after I got my fill there is 1 Wreck-Gar, 1 Percecptor 2 Primes and a swarm of Bees left. Go get 'em!

[kaiden]

I feel your pain! I missed out on Legends Prowl and Trailcutter today by minutes... literally minutes! :(

[Gutsman Heavy]

Yeah I can't believe they disappeared to quick, I even shoved trailcutter to the back of the peg so buy some time >_>

@Kaiden, I couldn't find a Skystalker, I'll keep an eye out though.

[Robzy]

Thanks anyway for the heads up G-man!

[SkyWarp91]

Went into town on Monday, nothing new found at ToyWorld, Target or Toys R Us.

Did see RTS Legends Trailcutter and Prowl though, wasn't so keen on them though as I do have Universe Prowl and prefer a bigger Trailcutter.

Oh yeah, so I thought TRU was having $40 for all Human Alliance figures and so I figured time to grab me a Jazz, I go to all my local TRUs and find only Bumblebees.MOTHERFU.....

[Pipesqueak]

So which store has started stocking prowl and trailcutter? Target?

[SkyWarp91]

So which store has started stocking prowl and trailcutter? Target?

Big Ws and Targets

[BigPenney]

Found a few Trailcutter and Prowl at Big W Noarlunga today but besides that, nothing new down this way. :(

[Robzy]

Yeah, my local Big W had a couple of Prowls and Trailcutters.

[Pipesqueak]

The Tapleys Hill Rd Target had the new legends today. Nothing new at Kmart Port Adelaide (but there was a dirge, red alert, skullgrin)

[SkyWarp91]

Big W Arndale -

1 x ROTF Voyager Defendor Prime at $50!?!?!?!? :eek:

Golden Grove Big W -

Gen. Deluxe Soundwave and Red Alert
ROTF Deluxe Lockdown
1 x ROTF Leader Prime + Camshaft for $30

So I went to Golden Grove Big W to pick up another toy that was one of the only few remaining in SA and this is the first time in GG and man, that place is so un-Adelaide (not a bad thing), it's so different from everywhere else and the people there were all nice (everyone that I had met) and it was JUST FREAKY AS.

[Gutsman Heavy]

It's my shining influence.

[Pipesqueak]

I'm starting to get worried about Grapple and Lugnut not appearing. Are others relying on them showing up here or going to import?

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Lugnuts i've seen plenty at targets in WA so should be turning up in SA considering WA (Wait Awhile) has them

[Jaisun]

Found 1x Jazz and 1x Tracks at Parabanks Big W today, which I got sorry, but at least they are showing up now =o) They also had a few Prowls and Trailcutters, but no Fallback or Mindset, so they probably only put the Jazz and Tracks out to fill the pegs and put the rest out the back maybe.

I think Jazz and Tracks are only stocked because the wave following RTS Wave 2 is a revision wave (which is not inclusive of Fallback OR Mindset which were both repaints anyways). Good to see new molds hitting AUS shelves, but would prefer it if Highbrow, Lugnut and Grapple did show up.

And Marion Big W just did a restock on all Legends, now there's PLENTY of Jazzes, Optimuses and didn't even see a single Trailcutter.

Oh yeah, if anyone is collecting those Halo Mini-Fig 1-packs I got bad news, there's no Purple Spartans. I could only feel for Red Spartans, Flamers, Flamers and Covenant Pilots.

[SofaMan]

RtS Wreck-Gar, Perceptor, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Battle in Space 2-pack at Target Hollywood Plaza. Picked them all up today, except the Bumblebee.

Also saw Trailcutter and Prowl at TRU Gepps Cross.

[Robzy]

Saw RTS Jazz today at Big W.

[damnyouhussies]

target elizabeth for the first time in a long time packing the goods.

hot rod/cyclonus two packs, plenty of at the nice sale price of 30$

lots of RtS legends, including the prowl and trailcutter releases just over 5 bucks.

[SkyWarp91]

Went to TRU Gepps X, Target Fulham Gardens TTP.

TRU Gepps X
Nothing new, but anyone looking for Darkwings (the Silverbolt repaints) can find them here for $50

Target Fulham Gardens
Battle Ops Bumblebee, a Perceptor, mostly AA figures - nothing new. Wave 5 Generations spotted.

TTP

Big W - Nothing new.

Target - Nothing new.

K-Mart
Mostly AA toys, the 2-Pack PCCs are selling fast though ; must be what parents could afford most (Parents do tend to spend max 20 on toys for kids) but the shelves are getting emptier so could be a restock soon.

Toys R Us
- Spotted a ROTF Deluxe Dirge if anyone was still after that. Nothing new too.

Myer
They still sell plenty of ROTF toys including Voyager Starscreams! And even Animated toys! Wreck-Gar, Lugnut, Starscream at staggering prices of $60-70 each!!

[BigPenney]

Found Wave 2 of RtS (Wreck-Gar, Bumblebee, Perceptor & Optimus Prime) At Kmart Noarlunga today.

[Gutsman Heavy]

So, Blurr & Axor, anyone seen?

[Jaisun]

So, Blurr & Axor, anyone seen?

Not in the last week or two, but I saw about 4x Blurrs at TTP Target and 2x Axors at Arndale Big W within the last month. I guess by now they may be gone, but who knows, could get lucky =o)

[Vector Sigma 13]

Reveal the shield bb, wreckgar, jazz, g2 prime and turbo trax spotted at target rundle st. Lots of em too!

[damnyouhussies]

Target TTP has RTS Grappel/Lugnut and Strafe, all at the full price of $50 however.

[Pipesqueak]

Nope. I went online for them because i was sick of looking and never finding them in stores.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Anyone spotted W4/W5 of PCC at Woolworths?

[plakstift]

Hey guys, newbie to the forums, been lurking for a little while now though.

I was wondering has anyone seen any RTS Voyager Lugnuts laying around in Target anywhere in SA? North of the city would be desirable, I'm really keen to pick one up for the low low price of $35.

Any help? Any keen eyes spotted any around? I've tried TTP & Elizabeth but no joy...

Cheers,

Welcome to the boards plakstift. I tried Target Sefton Plaza yesterday and the TF section, basically empty. Hoping a restock happens soon. Good luck with your hunt.

[loophole]

Hi plakstift i have been looking out for Lugnut as well and havent had any luck yet :(

[kaiden]

Hi plakstift i have been looking out for Lugnut as well and havent had any luck yet :(

gutsman took the last one from ttp i think.

i was at city target yesterday and all they had were legends and generation deluxes. it didnt look like they would restock since i had a hard time actually looking for the section.

its all preparing for DOTM now really?

[BigPenney]

Saw 1 RtS Turbo Tracks at Big W Noarlunga today.

[twisted_belly]

Did anyone see any ROTF legends devastator (movie colours) left in target anywhere? Have been looking for one for quite some time

Btw, Wave 3 PCC 5-Packs spotted at Toyworld Harbour Town - Crankcase and the White Smolder Redeco

No, there seem to be plenty of PCCs in Woolies but they're all from earlier waves (wave 2 mostly I think - the wave with the orange race car)

[Jaisun]

Plenty of Heavytread with Groundspike and Skyhammer with Airlift at Elizabeth Big W for $7.72. They also had a handful of Icepick with Chainclaw and one Steelshot with Beacon for the same price.

Will be checking Rundle tomorrow.

Also if any of you guys bought a G1 Beachcomber at the Fisherman's Wharf Markets last Sunday darn you (from Atomic Toys)! I was going for that toy too lol!

Nice, the place I was gonna check, but opted for Ingle KMart instead, which has sweet nothing =oP I'm at Salisbury TAFE tomorrow though, so I'm a gonna check them out =oD

RE: Undertow. No good on the $8 mark, but I got Undertow and Salvage from City Woolworths for $12.99 and they had one left of each. I'm usually stingy, especially with PCC's, but I can see them getting cleared out of many stores, so I didn't want to be a couple short of a set because I didn't want to pay a few dollars.

[kaiden]

I didn't want to be a couple short of a set because I didn't want to pay a few dollars.

I mostly just want them for the mini-cons. i've only liked 2 pcc's and those would be huffer and heavytread. the rest really suck. (well icepick is okay i guess.) so trying to get them as cheap as possible and save money for the dotm toys.

[SkyWarp91]

I can confirm on Kaiden's spotting of DOTM figures at Big W Parabanks, but when I got there the shelf-packing staff realized that the toys weren't showing up on those scanners around the stores (not at front counter) and the manager there figured the toys had to still be in embargo so he told his worker to take them off the shelf for now. Good timing.

I taunted him though by saying thanks for the early releases :p:p

So yes, though the toys are meant to come out just next week, anyone who spots them now and picks them up gets a much better advantage.

Man, Hasbro's DOTM embargo must be in full swing... I went to 2 different Targets and Kmarts today (different areas) and not only did they not have any new movie figures, but they had NO Transformers figures... AT ALL!! :eek::eek: I'm serious... I mean nothing! Not even a crappy 2 year old figure from the last movie. No generations, RTS - nothing! The entire TF sections were either empty or filled with other toylines at all stores!

Hasbro must have really threatened Target/Kmart/Big W so much that they're scared to put anything vaguely TF related out :D:D

Obviously they don't scare Toyworld though... they had heads of DOTM figures on the shelves today! :p

I don't think the 'embargo' is terribly legally binding at all...it's just a sticker on the boxes in most cases, same as last time. Do you think Hasbro would actually penalise the shops that break street date? Until Hasbro makes the (obvious) steps to sell online, they have no other official outlet in this country. All of the big 3 have started selling in a few stores, as well as Toyworld. TRU is playing fair, but that's because they've organised a specific 'event' for the launch.

Breaking of the embargo date usually results in a monetary fine and possible withholding of stock in the future. At least that's how it is with video game distributors.

I believe the embargo is more to do with paramount and the movie rights than with hasbro.

DOTM first wave in huge amounts at Target across from the Northpark shopping centre.

I admit I did not look at prices nor specifics as I have very little interest in anything in the line, but there was an awful lot of it, regular toy section filled and more shelves up front for product also.

Thank you for the info =o) The fact that Warpath is vanishing so damn fast from shelves says to me there are ALOT of closet collectors in SA.

really? saw them all months ago (maybe not blurr and not dotm IH) and they are all on clearance everywhere else

[MECHA MALAKA]

everywhere else I went that is and I'm talking GENERATIONS

[damnyouhussies]

I admit I was the one who grabbed the last of the stock at K-mart Ingle farm, I picked up the last kup and scourge.

They also had the small human alliance scout guys from dotm, I admit I a movie line hater but they actually looked really clever and well designed.

They WERE on clearance a couple months back, but Hasbro musta convinced Kmart to take on the line again... as such, the line is back to full price, and weren't in their computer systems anymore.

DotM has finally hit Westfield Marion at Big W, K Mart and Target. Didn't see Shockwave anywhere.

K Mart has one Generations Thundercracker (they also had a Wheeljack but I bought it).

While Kmart had given generations the yellow clearance tag, I don't believe they ever dropped the price below $25.

[griffin]

Yeah, 'Clearance' tags don't always guarantee a discount (I had a debate with a Woolworths employee about that one once - food related)... so if Kmart didn't discount their Gen toys at any store, it wasn't a 'return to full price' as I have been posting.

those are human alliance basics right? does ingle farm still have them?

[loophole]

Some Kmarts did clearance their Generations stock in the beginning at $18, and they scanned at that price too.

deluxe or basic? Isn't the deluxe just HA Bumblebee and Skids again?

[damnyouhussies]

I assume so, they had a huge amount of them.
They had, the ski mobile/the little buggy thing and the futuristic crane sort of H tank guy. I couldn't see any of the decepticon three wheeler thing

[MECHA MALAKA]

does anybody know of a Windcharger scout for sale? I missed this guy DOH

[SkyWarp91]

Oooh it's been a while since I saw a Windcharger anywhere at a K-Mart, considering how he's now become rare in the US as they cancelled his wave there. You're probably better off looking for someone selling one in our seller's section.

[damnyouhussies]

I haven't seen windchargers for a while either.

I picked up a spare when they were around for someone in the states who then ended up pulling out of our deal that is available.

Nice on the Prime =o)

Powerglide and Blackout are wave 2 I'm pretty sure, but I've seen PLENTY of them at every Target I've been to, just not the K-Marts or Big W's. So either target ignored the wave sequence or they got them sooner than the others stores.

[Robzy]

Finally - my local Kmart has heaps of Generations Warpath, Wheeljack, Thundercracker and Kup figures.
