Went to Impact Comics today to check for Henkei's & Encore's. They had a huge amount of stock but their pricing was crazy on most things. I picked up a Encore Metroflex for $169.

Other stuff they had were:
Encore
Omega Supreme - $249.99
Skywarp/Thundercracker - $149.99
Minbot Set - $59.99

Henkei
Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Tankor/Octane, Galvatron & Ironhide - $49.99

MP Thundercracker - $249

I wouldnt advise getting anything from these guys unless you cant find it anywhere else.

Yeah its crazy, very glad I picked Omega's up when they were at $170(at the same shop!), the shop owners claim its because of the weak aussie dollar, but I think their mark up is over the top. Im sure they will learn when their stock just sits there.

That's typical of Australian import pricing due to all the import taxes, duties, levies etc. slapped on by the government. I have a good friend who used to work at an import store who explained it all to me one time but it's way too much for me to remember. ;) But if it shelfwarms long enough we might see it get slashed to move dead stock. I remember when God Ginrai was shelfwarming at import stores here and they slashed the price down to $20.

The hilarious thing was when TRU started getting Hasbro reissues, but they were obscenely overcharging for them to the point where even at 200% inflation, the Japanese imports were nearly the same price! For example, Hasbro reissue Inferno, Prowl, Tracks etc. were initially selling at TRU for $75 whereas I saw importers in Sydney and Perth selling the Japanese reissues of those toys for $85. For an extra $10 why wouldn't you just buy the import and get the chrome, proper working missile launchers, tech specs card, file cards etc.?! Then Sydney importers slashed the price of TFC reissues down to $65, making them $10 cheaper than TRU!

After the imports all moved TRU then finally started slashing their prices in a desperate attempt to move their dead stock - I saw prices reduced down to as low as $25, but even then the stock moved slowly probably because most collectors had already gotten the Japanese reissues at a similar price (or cheaper price if they were ordering from Japan via dealers like HLJ!).

Surprisingly good. I have never wanted the Powerglide toy (since it looks nothing like him) but Stormcloud is quite pretty and If he is still around after my trip (doubt it though) I may go pick him up, he looks nice and decepticon-y.

Had a look around yesterday, but couldnt find him anywhere :(

Anyways Toyworld Fyshwick has
Universe Treadbolt - $39.99
Universe Prowl, Sunstreaker, Galvatron & Acidstorm - $24.99

and thats all I checked prices on. They did have quite a few of the Universe legends figures though.

Toys R us brand depot is stocked in almost everything. my picks were dinobot and Jetfire.

i came up on sunday managed to get universe 2.0 hound, starscream and smokescreen, animated activator Thundercracker from toyworld, lucky i looked under the shelf on the floor otherwise i wouldnt have found hound or smokesreen.

but there was nothing anywhere else,

toys r us brand depot - must be the dumping ground as there was squillions of
old stock like blackout scorponak 2pk, movie voyager reapaints etc nothing really from the latest waves though

civic big w - nothing of note
target - just big daddy, jolt..... (got a stealth lockdown)
impact records - didnt have much at all..
belconnon- kmart - just a couple of universe Sideswipe
and toys r us - older animated deluxes...
gungalin - big W was totally devoid of a single deluxe

so that was my day trip

The_Damned
23rd March 2009, 08:10 PM
btw toyworld had pretty good prices as the deluxes were $24.99
shame they didnt have inferno or cyclonis.

Big W had the cheapest deluxes @ $23.99 but........... they were totally empty of them. :(

darockk
23rd March 2009, 10:11 PM
wow i didnt even know there was a toys r us in brand depot.

shopping time tomorrow :)

5th April 2009, 08:45 PM
Hey, on a weekend trip to Canberra, I found nothing in Civic or Belconnen... until I had a quick look in Toys r us in Belconnen... New Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl.

darockk
15th April 2009, 10:30 PM

Target in Civic, have a load of Universe Inferno, & The 2 cybertron repaints, Prime lion and the other guy(the voygers) for $19.99. Picked up a few Inferno's for myself and some friends but there still would easily be about 15-20 left. Forget about the other two as they are just dodgy repaints :)

darockk

gantz

gantz
19th June 2009, 02:38 PM

was hoping to find skids or someone !

( went to see movie today, but almost at the end, the movie BURNED and everyone had to get a refund so not seen the ending, but was great IMO till then though! )

sammc
25th June 2009, 05:09 PM
Isn't the ultimate the same as last year? And think its cheaper at toyworld or somewhere else, being under $100

Checked out myres tuggeranong and they have a stand full of toys but alas, tis nothing new.

Kmart was the same, as well as Target.

Need to hit toyworld again it seems !

sammc
25th June 2009, 05:15 PM

maybe the mudflap will be there, but wont hold my breath!

I kidna went nuts on the joe stuff as well, sorta.. showed SOME restraint hehe.

sammc
27th June 2009, 09:09 PM
Ahh, so there is a difference. Anyone know how much the Human Alliance is gonna be when it hits here?

Also, went to Big W in Woden and they had some Mudflaps there, and a couple of Fallen figures, but passed on the fallen for $50, the alt should be better lol.

Gotta say though, Mudflap is kinda frustrating to keep in bot mode, just doesn't click/lock together well.

It's a very frustrating toy. You've got to get the back right. took me awhile to get it right but its reasonably snug once you have all the back panels in the right position.

Toyworld fyshwick had some of the powercore units at $29, had the jet one left and some of the 2 packs at $15 as of monday. Didn't see the scout size ie brimstone or hubcap at all though.

Hopefully those 2 wont be far away!

nabbed the combaticons and one each of the 2 packs, all seem pretty cool, liked the drones more than i thought,but they could be better. If only they were bots and alts and limbs !!

gantz

sammc

Nabbed the new Generations from Fyshwick today, very cool!

Hubcap had arrived as well, nice bday present to myself it was !

Thrust = uber cool!

Prime and B interesting and cool designs!

Tell me how it goes. I may have to try my luck at Woden Big W.

gantz
23rd September 2010, 06:47 PM
OK the cannon is fine, doesn't seem to have exposed red as you were saying the other did, there is a little paint chipped from the side of the right knee, but nothing too major.

Good luck with woden, does gunghalin still have a Big W?

Soundwarp
24th September 2010, 05:56 PM

Target in Tuggeranong only had one of each of Terradive and tomahawk, at the 22.99 price point.

good prices on voyager animated at 15bucks though. might have to get megatron even though im not a huge fan of that one!

RtS: about 5 X RtS JAZZ!!!!! (there were 6), 3 X tracks, 3 X wreckgar, a heap of perceptor, G2 prime and bumblebee all $22.88.

then one battle in space ($49, but if big w is out of stock...)

some of the older generations stuff at $28 (cyb megs, prime and darkmount, maybe a cyb b'bee)

some voyager stuff, only one that stood out to me was bonzaitron.

heaps crowded in there, but worth the trip :)

Weeeell hopefully this helps someone here, but I was at toyworld today and they have the new voyagers Grapple and Lugnut for only $29! So I nabbed one of each.

I could see only one Wreckgar, a few percepters, but none of the others.

I also picked up a legends size optimus prime. I have to say, I think they are fantastic for such a small unit! The megatron is very impressive as well IMO.

One thing that is annoying though is grapples legs / hip joints are all so loose he falls over quite easily. Oh well.

good hunting! If anyone see's Scourge around the place please post to let me know =-)

(Must've been just stocked today) - Big W at the Canberra Centre had a bunch of the initial DOTM stuff:
- Voyagers (ironhide, prime and Megs at least),
- the cyberverse legends (bumblebee, topspin - the pegs were full),
- the cyberverse 'scouts' (prime, ironhide and I think a Megs, but I could be wrong)
- and I think 1 each of the cyberverse play sets (bumblee +bunker and starscream's one).

They had quite a lot of stock but it seemed mutliples of a few things rather than a wide range. No prices listed though, and didn't have time to try and scan them.

Belconnen:
-Target has a heap of the RTS perceptors & bumblebees going for $10 each. Also have a huge range of the movie stuff.
-TRU have a big area right near the entrance filled with TFs, their range is decent. Got the cyclonus/hotrod pack price matched to $25 as they are selling it for $39.99. Saw the Ark set for the first time today, was a bit disappointed with it so it will be a pass for me.

I couldn't find it, and it wasn't on their store directory (it's usually noted as a major store on the map like Coles or BigW, but wasn't on this one), nor was there any signage inside or outside of the centre. And google maps was showing it to be on the main road a block away from westfield (which I drove down, but didn't see it).

And I just find out that there was a second store near the airport... which I could have checked out if I had known. Shoulda done some research first. :(

I looked on the directory map too, and it only had those three stores, coles and woolies on the map itself. I didn't bother reading through the list of stores because (as mentioned above) I expected TRU to be on the map with those five majors.

Ah well, at least I wasn't tempted to buy it and cart it back on the plane (I already had 4 TFs to bring back that I bought that day).

Clearing out entire stock, to re-sell on their eBay store with greatly inflated prices, is somewhat different. As you can see from my post, there was a targeted audience, and you'll notice that I posted that in the A.C.T. forums, if I had a problem with lurkers or collectors from another state, they'd know.

What I find funny is that selling a TF prime(RID) deluxe on ebay for $30 is what will make a profit to anyone else in the world except here. We pay close to $30 here in store. So why would someone pay $40+ for a Deluxe from a Australian scalper? I bought a Deluxe Wheeljack off Ebay for $29.74AUD from a US seller and bought a Deluxe Soundwave off Ebay as well for $33.37AUD off a UK seller. so I dont really spend any extra for them online than I would for them in-store.

They also had a good range of Thundercats for $10 each.

I popped into Impact Comics on Friday during my stay, and they had Alternity Bumblebee and Cliffjumper, and a reissue Predaking for $299.99. I'd have bought Predaking if I had the cash, but I hope someone else who wants it manages to snag it.

Due to the pegwarming nature of the Bot Shots launchers, I didn't expect to see these guys here.

Thanks but I already managed to find one :D

Also metroplex is at target in tuggeranong, just called the guy then and he had them in his hand as I called. $120 and he said there were quite a few and are going on the shelves this afternoon. Managed to put one aside for me so if you call they can do that for anyone else looking for them I imagine. Good hunting guys!

Couldn't find any metroplex's in the Target stores anymore so just ordered one from target online for the sale price $119 plus $9 shipping, still a heck of a lot cheaper than TRU's $199! They wouldn't price-match because they weren't in stock, even though it was a catalogue advertised price.

No matter, I needed one after seeing how awesome the repro labels set is for it! I'm glad at least they were online and cheap shipping.

I just hope enough Masterpiece Soundwave make it to Canberra....

Ah too bad!

At least its been great weather for the most part these last couple of days, but we got nothing on QLD sunshine I dont think lol

Rumor has it toys r us belconnen is getting MP Soundwave today. Im going in to find out and ill post with what happens. Also from what the lady at the desk told me they cant reserve figures so if you want one your gunna have to buy online or go in store and quick.

Bad news guys all gone. No idea how many they had but they had non stop calls all day. I was lucky and one of the people who work there gave me theirs they had out back, I never got the chance to thank that guy. Hope some of you guys were able to get one at least.

thanks for the heads up! managed to secure my SW, asking ever so nicely my wife to go pick it up from Airport tru while I was still at work =-)

Such a great figure this! and with all cassettes released so far = pure win!

I'm pretty sure they are all gone now, but from what I understand it was a reallllly small amount received, under 10 if I remember correctly?

Always seems the best hasbro has to offer is the hardest to come by.

That doesn't suprise me. I'd be contacting them fairly frequently even if you've put your name down. I actually had a similar thing for acidstorm out there. Enough said given that you bought the last one, and I haven't heard anything.

Nope, I never received a call despite them taking down my details. Good thing I was able to get one online. My friend and I both put our names down on two separate occasions. Makes me angry. But at least I got one.

Tell me about it, On one hand they told me they cannot reserve the toy on the other when I went to the TRU I saw 3 reserved behind the counter? Double standards!

DQuick
10th November 2013, 03:40 PM
I got one online as well, as soon as I read they could be ordered online I figured for $10 there was little to no risk of missing out.

I had little to no faith in Majura park calling me even though two different staff members of which one claimed to be the manager had committed to doing so. I was just curious if they actually made good and called anyone at all? Seems not.

sammc
10th November 2013, 03:56 PM
I was numbered among those with my name down from around a month and a half or so ago, but didn't get a call as such. There was one held(for which I am eternally grateful!!) but I did not know it had arrived, it was by blind luck in seeing the posts on here in time to get the missus to pop over and pick it up.

From what I was told on the phone though the names down outnumbered the units that came in!

It always amazes me how hard it is to spend money on things, its like the toy companies truly don't want our hard earned cash enough to keep up to the demand!!

*sigh*
