Star Wars Transformers sightings

[griffin]

Report here sightings (and prices if possible) of Star Wars Transformers.

[griffin]

Found a single Commander Cody/Turbo Tank at Kmart Garden City. It seems to be the only one I am finding of the latest three.
And something interesting to note - the Deathstar/Darth Vader figure seems to have sold out everywhere that I used to see them only a month ago. Even the TRU at Garden City, which still had dozens of them a few days before Christmas.

[iceburn]

TRU has heaps of Commander Cody, AT-AT and Snowspeeders $34.99 (no sale)

[pheonix83]

hey guys.

found a store here in tassie that has most of the Star wars transformers in stock.

just in case anyone is keen

[griffin]

Kmart and BigW seem to be a good source for the latest three. I have found a few stores in Brisbane with heaps of all three.

[Borgeman]

i saw a kmart with half a dozen Death stars - $100 minus any discounts applying....

Found the new Obi-Wan and 501st Legion Republic Gunship at Grace Bros/Myer for $34.95, they had only one of each.

Obi-Wan followed me home (:

Obi-Wan followed me home (:

So you ended up buying him :)

What about the whole $34.95 thing? :D

The Big Ws around here (Rockdale, Miranda) never hang on to their stock for me to even see it.

[Golden Phoenix]

Melbourne City Myer recently restocked their transformers. They had a whole bunch of the Star Wars Transformers including the Obi-Wan and Arc Trooper

[iceburn]

hi Golden Phoenix...how about an introduction first plz?

[griffin]

He, and anyone else new, doesn't have to if they don't want to. I don't want to see newbies pressured into doing anything here.
Let them come out into the open when they feel comfortable to.

[iceburn]

that's cool...no pressure at all

[roller]

when i signed up i didnt make one, i didnt know:o

[goro]

Drat, I could've gotten Darth Maul cheaper. He was the most expensive of my SWTFs. Clocked in at $32. :(

[griffin]

Heaps of the SWTFs Millenium Falcon at BigW Browns Plains for $49. I thought it odd, but today I saw that it will be in their July Toy Sale, so makes sense now.

Toyworld Browns Plains also had a few of the Millenium Falcon in, for $50. Plus they had the smaller ones in for $30, but only up to the Snowspeeder/AT-AT/Cody range.

[STL]

Geez. They're getting stuff in that can't sell from O/S to put in their toy sale. I'm really excited...

[TheDirtyDigger]

Kmart Chaddy has a lot of Death Stars and Mill Falcons as well now.

[Paulbot]

I've seen the Death Stars and Falcon popping up in Targets too recently, which is odd if K-Mart's the one promoting them!

[kurdt_the_goat]

While not quite as good as Gok and Dirge virtually stealing Death Star TF's the other week, they can now be had at Big W for $48.62! Legitimately as well!
Also at the same price, the Milllenium Falcon, though i'm not even sure if that's a good deal! An absolute heap of both at Belmont, near the main isle opposite the shoe section.

[griffin]

I think it is funny that the Kmart Sunnybank has had a slightly damaged boxed Darth Vader/Death Star on their clearance shelves for over a month for $69, and will soon have minty fresh ones for less, for their toy sale.

[griffin]

Heaps of the Star Wars 2-pack (Darth & OB1) for $29.66 (that's like 2 for the price of 1) at BigW Calamvale.

[STL]

Borgeman and I saw the newly packaged SWTF figures in the white and blue style. It looks very easy on the eyes and I'm really tempted to get them because they look so nice. All old molds though unfortunately and at $35. No way I'd pay for crappy toys in the first place just to have packaging.

Come on Mate! You know you can't resist... :D

The White & Blue styled-packaging makes a crappy figure look somewhat... newish, different & uh... "special" :)

[iceburn]

Apparently i had a look today and they don't seem to come with the "mecha" (person that rides in the robot). I say its not worth despite the nice new packaging...

[dirge]

The mini figures are no loss to me. All of mine either live in the cockpit permanently or stored with other random accessories :)

[llamatron]

I saw these blue/white guys today. Are they out in the USA yet?

[GoktimusPrime]

I saw SWTF repackaged as Crossovers at TRU.

[komikskolektor]

saw a dozen in Target Westfield (burwood)

[Paulbot]

Not an in-store sighting as such, but I keep seeing ads for the Death Star and the Falcon in prime-time on Channel 10. Four times now between 7pm and 8:30pm in the last three days.

[Paulbot]

I don't think anyone's reported seeing this before, but I found a TIE Bomber/Pilot at Big W this morning.

[griffin]

Someone posted in the acquisitions topic that they got the new grievous, which has the tie bomber in that assortment, but yours is the first to actually mention it. And I'll be the second :p
Found and acquired the tie bomber and grievous figures today from BigW Garden City, and they were on sale too! Sweet! :D
Priced at $23 for both the crossover lines during their sale, it's cheaper than Deluxes, which are supposed to be more (US RRP is about 20% more, but most stores in Aus price them the same).
Pity they didn't get the second wave of the Marvel TFs for the sale... :(

BTW, only one grievous left, no more tie bombers at that store.

[griffin]

[MV75]
