Kmart ROTF Sale Thursday!

[jaydisc]

Got word from a friend who saw the flyer. Haven't verified myself.

$20 off ROTF Leaders. Unsure of original price. If still $89, that means $69! Woot!

[Kyle]

Really... feel like... skipping all my Lecturing on Thursday. It'll be fun having 60+ angry engineering students coming after me... :o:p

[Robzy]

Cool... thanks for the heads up Jay :)

[Autocon]

where are leaders in perth??!???!???!??!?!?

According to a NSW based member of Seibertron (http://www.seibertron.com/energonpub/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=154&p=926678#p926678), the sale might be restricted to a handful of stores, and the sale price is $79, which makes the normal price $99, so Kmart have bumped up prices for the movie.

The NSW stores he listed included Sylvania, Waratah,Nowra and Penrith, Penrith is one of the new 24/7 stores, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it?

[dirge]

Sylvania is the other 24 hour K-Mart in Sydney, while Nowra is street-accessible. Midnight sale, anyway?

Not sure about Waratah - I've never seen that store (don't head to Newcastle much, the Knights aren't worth watching :p )

[i_amtrunks]

Sylvania is the other 24 hour K-Mart in Sydney, while Nowra is street-accessible. Midnight sale, anyway?

Blacktown, Mt Druitt and a handful of other stores are also street accessible (Nowra is in a small shopping centre), so if it is a midnight sale, why exclude those stores (unless they are aiming to only do regional-ish type sales?)

Guess we can find out when they start appearing in letterboxes, the brochures normally arrive on Wednesday at my place.

[Bartrim]

Nowra is 24hr now... Don't know why. Guess you gotta give the locals some place to hang out when they can't sleep or are cold:p

I think I have to spend some of my hard earned money on Thursday night when I get paid.

[Dylbot]

So are we talking about THIS Thursday, if so w00t!:D

[blackie]

Awesome, cheers dude.

Kmart pricing usually kicks in at 10pm the night before. Why not just go to Burwood? STL and I are doing Campbellfield.

[Dylbot]

So no sale on deluxes or voyagers?
wonder if other shops are gonna have sales as well

[Ironhide63]

AWESOME...oh wait...the leaders are $99...damn...perhaps ill go for voyager megatron. Oh well...

why go burwood, chirnside is 5 min from the missus house :P

[Robzy]

Wow.. $100 for Leaders??? That's pretty steep!


perhaps ill go for voyager megatron.IMO I think the Voyager looks better than the Leader in some ways :)

[autobreadticon]

ROTF have hit stores!!!

[autobreadticon]

ROTF have hit Kmart stores!!!!!! yes

[Dylbot]

Just got off the phone with kmart knox and burwood east, they both said no rotf stuff until may 30, but the sale starts thursday. Does that mean they won't be on the shelf till may 30:mad:?

[jaydisc]

Woah. Didn't realize she lived so far out in the sticks. :D

[Krayt]

nothing at all at camberfeild....

I was thinking that as well when this was first posted up. Kmart mustn't be sticking to the release date then.

[jaydisc]

Based on comments from Target, Big W and Kmart, it would appear that everyone is starting on Thurday, which makes sense for Australia, as that's the official shopping day. I suspect Hasbro has permitted this.

The hasbro rep has informed us *Big W" that the street date is tomorrow 28/5...Yessss

[JuzMel]

Hehe if nobody is checking out Burwood tonight, I'll be happy to scout it tomorrow morning... :D

[funkyaw]

Kmart Burwood Westfields NSW have them for sale now but at the normal RRP (i.e. not at the sale price).

[jaydisc]

Hasbro reps are making their way around to stores and setting up displays today!! They have so much to do that's why they're starting early.

[Dylbot]

Kmart knox had all rotf stuff, but no deluxes. Target told me no rotf stuff till 30th. I'm really confused:confused:

[dirge]

Anyone heading to Sylvania at midnight? Zed? kup? Kyle?

[Lord_Zed]

A bit to late for me I think, I checked at 7:00 and there's still no sign of an ROTF TF. Though there is a small space cleared in the toy section, but I was excpecting a whole isle like for the previous movie.

There was no sign of anyone planning to set up and TF's yet either, so there is a danger that going at 12 might prove fruitless.

Kmart knox has set up, but I rang Burwood east (24 hour) and they said they aren't putting thier rotf stuff out till thursday arvo. the guy might not be aware of the sale though. Any word on target's official release date for rotf?

[blackie]

GAH
went to chirnside, they didnt have anything yet :(
might head back very early this morning :)
must go to target too to get the 15% off the deluxes

[Stompy]

Kmart Campbellfield had the Leaders (OP and Megs) as at 9:45pm and was already scanning at $79. Picked myself up Leader OP. :D

There was no other RotF stuff at all though.

[iceburn]

erm... someone must have hit the shelves before you Stompy :D
just kidding...did you look elsewhere, it might not be in the same TF aisle

[mknell]

Kmart Parra had heaps of stuff, Leaders (Megatron & OPtimus), Voyager (Optimus, Starscream, Iron Hide, Dimoloshor), Powerbots (Megatron & Bumblebee) and pleanty of other stuff so I just took some pics instead

Yeah had a good look around the store in case it was elsewhere. Checked in the feature aisles and sale aisle to no avail. Was only really there for Leader OP for the cheaper price. Was kinda glad no other figures were there as my impulsive side would have made me buy them at full price.

[Saintly]

the sale is definitely on at kmart... well at least in burwood NSW

Cheers for the pics...

By the way, your photobucket page background pic is awesome. Is it a default photobucket background theme or did you take it yourself?

[reillyd]

That is SO thoughtful of you mknell to take pictures of them on display. Must make time to go to Kmart !

No problems, no it is a defult, it does look quite awesome though

No problems :)

[Lord_Zed]

Not really part of the sale per-se but worth mentioning.

My Local Kmart has the stock that the new movies toys displaced in the sale trolley, half of which was Animated Ultra Magnus, now $29, and the jet twins which were $26 or so.

There were also a few Universe Combiner boxes for $40.

So it might be worth checking your local Kmart's discount/old stock section for homless TF's.

[PirateCop]

did you just say $29 ultra mags?

[Lord_Zed]

did you just say $29 ultra mags?

Yes I did. ;)
