Masterpiece Sightings

[dirge]

I can recall seeing a Classics Soundwave missing both Ravage & Laserbeak from a local TRU... :rolleyes:

Wasn't me, I swear! :rolleyes:

[iceburn]

werribee

George

and you're wearing a red jumper!!!
*kekeke*

[Borgeman]

The location says a lot about why its behind glass!

to be honest, this store is actually very respectable - its the one near but not at werribee plaza (technically hoppers xing but meh...)

Perth is lucky enough to have its own International Mailing Centre. Anything coming to Perth via Overseas touches down here directly, not in the eastern states. Packages are inspected at the entry border. Because WA doesn't recieve its international mail via Sydney, WA customs has different alerts than Sydney customs. Unfortunately, QLD, NSW, ACT, SA, VIC all share the same entry border, therefore MP5=bad in the east. I may be wrong, but thats how I see it. :)

Although Perth has its own mailing centre, it still depends on whether the country of origin has direct flight to Perth. I've had parcels reaching Melbourne first and going through customs there and it showed in Auspost's tracking status.

[Mixmaster]

who needs security tags on boxes when you do this:

hmmph. Adelaide is still a Prime free zone. *sulks* ;)

[Golden Phoenix]

The location says a lot about why its behind glass!

ZING!
Although the ones at Camberwell were also behind class, and that's stereotyped as a good area

[Tropisetron]

FIRST Sighting in Adelaide:

2 securely wired box displayed on shelf. Box is in ok condition but has been slightly damaged by the wires.

[1orion2many]

:eek:Hopefully Perth isn't far off getting theirs:rolleyes:.

[Pulse]

:eek:Hopefully Perth isn't far off getting theirs:rolleyes:.

Here in Syd, I can only recall MP-4's being spotted in 2 stores which were both in relatively well-off areas (Rouse Hill & Bondi - I think) so maybe you should check out Target stores in those types of areas first :).

[Tober]

There were a few at Macquarie Shopping Centre Target, but that was a week ago.

[genechan]

FIRST Sighting in Adelaide:

2 securely wired box displayed on shelf. Box is in ok condition but has been slightly damaged by the wires.

There was two in centrepoint Target in the city today, and I know there is a few in Target Marion.

:(I still ahven't found any MP-04 in Perth:(

Cool! Vector Sigma 13 spotted some at Elizabeth too. I haven't seen them yet :(

[n2o]

one on chatswood shelves

[genechan]

Don't bother trying TTP...they haven't got anything >>

[pheonix83]

Found 3 MP-4's at target here in Launceston Tassie.

i layby'd 2 of them :)

[Vector Sigma 13]

Cool! Vector Sigma 13 spotted some at Elizabeth too. I haven't seen them yet :(

My missus has seen them at more than 1 target- im hoping they might be at my local target country too, but i might be pushing my luck. They were listed in the recent target catalogue too. Ill try and wait till they have a sale later this month and try to wack one on layby.

[Mixmaster]

Ooh. I'll have to go and check that out.

Well there is the Target toy sale, fingers and toes cross they have them on special (prob not)

[Mixmaster]

Target Elizabeth has 16 left. I put one on layby in case, but there is the Target toy sale coming up.

[Robzy]

Don't bother trying TTP...they haven't got anything >>
Yeah, unfortunately I went there today... :rolleyes: I also went to Newton and they didn't have any either! :mad:


Target Elizabeth has 16 left.:eek: I haven't even seen 1 yet!!!


They were listed in the recent target catalogue too. Ill try and wait till they have a sale later this month and try to wack one on layby.That's what I'm hoping to do...

[iceburn]

i've spotted 8 today at my friendly neighbourhood store :P
looks like Target is up and ready for their sales...

[griffin]

I get the feeling that the MP toys will be long sold by the time the sale starts. Kinda like TRU, who sold out of their MP Starscreams before it was advertised in their catalogue.

[Mixmaster]

:eek: I haven't even seen 1 yet!!!


Yea. I couldn't believe it. I went there thinking they probably only had a couple and they'd already be sold, and there they were, stacked three shelves high. I should have taken a picture.

[iceburn]

I get the feeling that the MP toys will be long sold by the time the sale starts. Kinda like TRU, who sold out of their MP Starscreams before it was advertised in their catalogue.

Was TRU's MP Screamers meant to be for their SALE?
I didn't know about that at all...but with MP04 at its current price compared to ebay and other online stores, it's really a good deal...

[edit] despite all the QC problems most of us have encountered

[Mixmaster]

Just had a peek at eBay and noticed someone stating that the trailer is die-cast. Is this true? Bonus if it is. I just thought it was plastic.

[jaydisc]

Just plastic

[TheDirtyDigger]

I thought there was a die-cast version somewhere.:confused:

[etht26]

iceburn, where abouts did you find 8, im in the chadstone area and i trying to find one atm as a birthday gift.. thanks

[n2o]

I thought there was a die-cast version somewhere.:confused:


if there were, he would weigh almost 2kg packaged and cost considerably more

[DigDug]

I thought there was a die-cast version somewhere.:confused:

On ebay anything is possible... You could have seen a mad custom trailer :)

Since its discovery, ebay has led to some amazing technological breakthroughs though. It has brought us gold rings that rust and 'I can believe it's not Louis Vuitton' designer wear. Die-cast plastic is seemingly another of these technological revolutions :eek: :p :)

[JuzMel]

iceburn, where abouts did you find 8, im in the chadstone area and i trying to find one atm as a birthday gift.. thanks

Target in Centro The Glen in Glen Waverley had about 6 boxes when I saw just last week.

[Robzy]

Yay - finally I've seen MP-04!!! :D There's HEAPS at my local Target!

[etht26]

Target in Centro The Glen in Glen Waverley had about 6 boxes when I saw just last week.

thanks JuzMel, I'll check it out tomorrow..

[Kyle]

Finally, 2 boxes of MP04 sighted at Target Bullcreek.

[llamatron]

Yeah I found 2 of them in a different Perth Target as well.

[1orion2many]

:(Now they show up:(.

[iceburn]

:(Now they show up:(.

i guess it's because it will be on sale soon....
perth stores must be pretty strict

[Nova Prime]

There's a lot (didn't actually stop to count just how many but I'd guess there's over ten) MP04s at Target Liverpool as of last Wednesday. I'm pretty sure they're all still there now and they cost $200 each. I'd like to buy one, especially since there's going to be a sale on in Target in a couple of weeks, but Prime's not exactly one of my favourites and if I get him then I'd feel compelled to get the other MPs (Ultra Magnus, Skywarp, Thundercracker, and how in the world do I get Megatron?). I hate this collector's obsession, it's worse than drugs. I'd prefer to just have Starscream as my only MP, since he's my favourite, I can justify having him without feeling compelled to get every one else...

i really have to agree with you there. my masterpiece collection so far is missing mp-2 and mp-5 which will cost me more than $500 to get them both. ahhh i wish i didn't started either. but i must say prime is the best masterpiece of all. very solid and heavy not like starscream which is just basically plastic. do you have the US version because i want to know what's the main difference to the takara one?

[1orion2many]

:)From what I understand there isn't really any difference between the Hasbro and Takara MP Screamers just some paint apps I believe.;)

[optimus1]

Id like to think my MP-3 (Green-starscream) as a Rainmaker!

Wouldnt mind getting MP-4, im liking the look of his trailer! He doesnt have 'battle damage' like Hasbro Masterpiece Prime does he?

[1orion2many]

:)I don't believe so at the seems to be more a Hasbro thing:rolleyes:

lol. Yea. I was just checking if there was a die cast version though. :)

[etht26]

has, anyone seen ultra magus mp-02, in melbourne or any online store? man... been looking everywhere for this guy... ebay prices are way to high atm, for me to buy him.... :mad:

[iceburn]

sorry..nope.

[k.wong23]

has, anyone seen ultra magus mp-02, in melbourne or any online store? man... been looking everywhere for this guy... ebay prices are way to high atm, for me to buy him.... :mad:

I took the plunge and won an ebay auction other day, $230 shipped.

Regret missing out on one selling for $165 because the buyer mis-spelt the item description and I stumbled upon it :(

Anyways Camberwell Target Still has MP-04's.

Hope Target can refund me $20 even though sale starts 24th...

[iceburn]

as long as you have the receipt bro...i'm sure they can return you $20 in cash

[k.wong23]

as long as you have the receipt bro...i'm sure they can return you $20 in cash

Just called up, can't do anything until the actual toy sale, they would have to refund the item to be able to be resold.

For once you can actually trust Pulse. (check my sig)

[Nova Prime]

For once you can actually trust Pulse. (check my sig)

Is that a fact? Well now I know who to blame, you and your site are partially responsible for reigniting my obsession for Transformers. It’s only after reading your reviews that I decided on some of my major purchases (i.e. Movie Leader Class Optimus Prime) which has led me to buy every character in the movie.

Nah, seriously man, it’s a pleasure to meet you and thank you for taking out the time to write such detailed and insightful reviews so that newbies such as myself can make informed purchases.

[dirge]

Yeah that's why I keep writing them. There are so many "omfg he's so cool" reviews out there... not enough people review toys they _dislike_. And not enough are critical of the toys they do like. I'd like to think I can offer a more balanced review than most of the reviews out there. And I love knowing that others find it useful (:

[Stompy]

Same here dirge. Your reviews helped fuel my transformers obsession the past year. Thanks!

To keep on topic... I wonder if Target will pricematch the toysale price for the MP Prime I lay-by'd? Pretty sure they would. Otherwise, I 'd just cancel and tell them to give me the thing and purchase it ont he spot at Sale time.

[jaydisc]

Super +1 on Cliffbee being a great resource. Shame about the performance though, which is easily fixed by using the speedy mirror (http://mirror.cliffbee.com/).

(edit by dirge: fixed up the link :eek: )

[iceburn]

yeapp..speed up the loading time!! :P
its really cool though +2

[Hereticpoo]

MP-4 at Target Victoria Park. There was 7 all up and the boxes are in perfect condition. They scanned in at $199.00. Go get em before the demonbay seller's do. :)

Not a single box available today when I went at lunchtime.

[pheonix83]

should the need arise for someone to get one, i have layby'd 2 lovely mp-4's :)

[Kyle]

Finally, 2 boxes of MP04 sighted at Target Bullcreek.

Almost forgot to post this. Back to Target today and both boxes were already gone. Almost picked up the Sponge Bob Rocket Lego set... :o

[1orion2many]

:(If you post a sighting don't say where it is, the people on the board can always PM you if they are interested this way we avoid lurker scalpers:(

[Kyle]

Sorry. :(

[1orion2many]

Sorry. :(

:)Don't worry Kyle that was just a heads up for all our newer members, I'm taking the day off from work tomorrow so you can guess what i'll be doing:D, I can't believe the tightwads are only taking $20 off the price for the sale:rolleyes:.

There can't be that many Targets in Perth... :D

:cool:Why run around wasting petrol when other people are doing that for you, you'd be surprised but it does happen and yes it may just be a coincedence:o. 2 people gave me a heads up today where they have spotted some more, Kyle put an MP on lay-by for me and llamatron let me know where there was some more so I'm a happy camper at the moment:D. thank you to both of themfor helping out.

Actually, I suspect that they've removed them from the shelves in preparation for the sale. In the past week, there were two places I visited with 10 plus MPs and then all of a sudden they disappeared in the space of less than a week.

That's if you think about it $4000-$5000, a lot of money for even a scalper.

:)Maybe a very good-bad scalper if you know what I mean but you could be right. You would really have to have a large bank account to start with and then mark up the items and hope they sell at your inflated price:rolleyes:.

[etht26]

well, i visited target knox city and they said the toys are being transfered??? and i'm thinking to where? what they should have said was they're putting it away in order to prepare they 24th toy sell. but with only $20 off i don't see much of a difference....

[jaydisc]

well, i visited target knox city and they said the toys are being transfered???

Surely they meant transformed.

[etht26]

Surely they meant transformed.

so far all the staff i've meet at target are all hopeless and don't have a clue to what's going on.... does anyone else have the same issue?

[iceburn]

went to the city Target and no MP04s are in sight...
lots of other toys thought, no Universe

I think your onto something here STL. Of the MP4's I saw in a Perth Target, 4 of them were on a stacking trolley next to the shelved items. However, me being Mr Naive believed they were being added to the shelves, rather than removed. :)

[Pulse]

I was in a local Target today & spotted six MP-4's (First time I'd seen them in that store)

I'm guessing they've pulled them out of the woodwork for tomorrow's sale...

[liegeprime]

There was 2 there way back last week Pulse, which got reduced to one ( lay-by heheheh) and now they're pulling out the stops and displaying more, hmmm shouldve waited.

[valkyrie_76]

Man I am going to be pissed when I come back Friday morning and visit the Targets stores in Perth and not find one bloody MP-04. Why does it always happen when Im away at work. *sigh*

[Lint]

I can testify that a certain store had 14+ units on the shelf on Thursday night. Naturally I snapped one up for myself and am pretty happy about it. My friend is going to hit the store tomorrow to get one for himself so I should be able to get an update on numbers.

[ChlorHex]

Lint, if you spot a piece available could you let me know where to get it?
I'm kinda frustrated at not being able to find this bot :mad:

[DigDug]

Chermside Target has 12 of the suckers left and the sale is still a few days away.

[Robzy]

I've still got my original 20th anniversary Optimus which I am very happy with, I didn't have an issue with the short smokestacks and the quality on this figure was very goodAgreed! :)

I did happen to spot heaps of MP-04s at one Target I visited during the opening of the toy sale (I won't mention which store here though!;)) They had none during the day... then, when the sale starts, they're everywhere! :confused:

[iceburn]

yeah..the Target i went to, the staff told me they couldn't find any left in their store but someone (prob the manager) must have hidden them. they were out again during the sale today...

[Pulse]

I wonder just how many MP-4s Target will actually sell?

$180-200 is not exactly a "light purchase" & I don't really think MP-4 is the best TF for someone who hasn't owned any TFs prior to that... :rolleyes:

(If I was giving someone their first TF, it would probably be Classics Voyager Prime - not MP-4 :))

[Lint]

Plenty left at my local store this morning. About the same amount on the shelf, minus 3 or 4 from last week. I think the store reformat has confused most scalpers, or more likely, theres no serious scalpers in Perth.

[jaydisc]

Mine's loaded too. I personally think the initial scalper fears were just rabid collectors.

[Paulbot]

At one store I went to today one of the staff said they were getting five more in.

[Kyle]

One store that I just visited has been cleared. 13 were sighted when I was there earlier last week. All 13 gone now...

[1orion2many]

:(URGENT if anyone in Perth comes across any MP's left at Target please PM me as i would like a second one for a friend:(.

[Mixmaster]

There's only 2 left at Target Elizabeth if anyone in Adelaide is looking for more.

[The_Damned]

would some1 from sydney be able to layby me an mp4?

[i_amtrunks]

I have yet to see one...

Perhaps Target figures people out West dont want to buy him?

[1orion2many]

:(Well after being tipped off that a store near my work had 10 MP-04's left on the shelf yesterday I shot straight down to Target this morning. It did have part of that 10 number still on the shelf, the ZERO part:(.

[iceburn]

lol!!

[Trailer Park Ninja]

would some1 from sydney be able to layby me an mp4?

I've got mine on layby but now don't want an MP04. I don't think I can get a refund on laybys (anyone know?), so you can have mine if you want.

[liegeprime]

hmmm Im splitting mine with Gamblor.... havent really inspected the prime bot that much. He appears to be quite complete. Twist ties detract me from pursuing a more in depth inspection, anyways Im keeping the receipt so if its faulty well we could still return it.

Hi all

Didn't know whether to put this here or in a new thread so mods can move if necessary.

Play-asia has got pre-orders open for Ultra-Magnus MP-02 reissues slated for NOV release.

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-8x-49-en-15-transformers-70-2wnj-43-d.html

Just to let you know, I've used Play-asia to buy Xbox 360 games with no probs and usually with savings. I've just received from them Encore Reissue Ironhide for a very cheap price thanks to 25% off sale. Encore Reissue Ratchet is on the way.

Toys aren't their forte so prices probably not as cheap as Robot Kingdom but very professional and super fast postage. Got my Ironhide within a week.

I've got mine on layby but now don't want an MP04. I don't think I can get a refund on laybys (anyone know?), so you can have mine if you want.

[g1_jazz]

target mp4 you mean?

[Paulbot]

I always get those numbers confused too, I did it just last night actually :confused:

[TheDirtyDigger]

It'd be great if MP5 was released at Target. What do you think the chances of that happening are?

[Pulse]

When this place freezes over...

Hasbro would probably repaint it so the silver parts are bright green and the black parts are neon orange.

[g1_jazz]

hey, bbts has got mp-03 starscream in G1 colours, japanese import verison (decepticon insignia on nose and generally less weathered) for $69 u.s. without postage which is the cheapest ive seen this version for, part of its 100 items on sale. just thought id let anyone know whos interested!

[TheDirtyDigger]

Sighted 5 MP-04's in the outer suburbs.

[Robzy]

My local Target had an MP-04 in the discount/clearance rack for $100 today. It was obviously refunded because the tag said the reason for the discount was "missing headlights"... :rolleyes:

[iceburn]

wow...$100 for MP04...still good without the headlights in robot mode.

[Robzy]

Yeah I spose! I probably would've got it if the box had been in better condition!

[Pulse]

Man, I can picture Target stores having plenty of exchanges/refunds on their hands with all these Prime's having missing bits & pieces... :rolleyes:

[Paulbot]

Hmm I paid a lot more than $100 for a Prime Convoy missing headlights... :(

[jaydisc]

Saw 6 seemingly fine MP4's at a Target on the Sunshine Coast.

[autobreadticon]

Yo one spotted up towards Ringwood...

[blackie]

ringwood :O thats my hood, and im always on the lookout and havent seen one yet :( wana pm me where?

[Pulse]

You probably shouldn't get your hopes up Blackie...

I've seen MP-4's in various stores with tags on the front corner marked down to $180 or so because they're missing something... :(

[blackie]

good way to pick one up for a custom :D

[jaydisc]

The Target up here has six in good looking packaging.

[autobreadticon]

Target Croydon

[blackie]

theres a target in croydon???? are you sure you dont mean ringwood? or chirnside.....

[MV75]

Saw mp04 on the shelf today at my local target. Beat up, opened up, box. :D It HAD to be a return as I hadn't seen one there for yonks.

[1orion2many]

I saw my first MP-04 at the Target near me, one of the young store attendants that I had been hassling before the sale with the MP's was on noticed me digging around the other day and pointed it out to me. I was told they had sold all of them in the sale but in truth they didn't get their stock until well after the sale had finished. It had obviously been untaped and retaped but the overall condition of the box was excellent.

[blackie]

i spied something ending in 5.. biiiiiiiig price tag :(

[blackie]

saw a mp04 at target ringwood, has a nice and new box, cant have been sitting there long..

[Golden Phoenix]

The one who shall not be named was seen in my local area (kind of anyway)
Didn't get a price though

[blackie]

250 if its the joint i think :) hefty :S

[Golden Phoenix]

250 if its the joint i think :) hefty :S

But you gotta remember why it's that price

[blackie]

i know, still if he can get them in (and he told me how he did i might add :P) then why cant we, for a fraction of the price...

[canofwhoopass_87]

Wow never seen a masterpiece at any of the local retailers around here. I saw a mp2 magnus at hobbyjapan(?) on bourke st melb CBD for $650 beans.
This was 2 weeks ago.

Suffice to say, my $75US pre order of this same fig should save me the restitching of my pocket holes.

Didn't you spot any MP-4's at Target?

[canofwhoopass_87]

Nah no way. Even the idea of any big retail store here in australia selling mp's sounds out of this world for me lol. I live like right in the middle of 4-5 big shopping centres and have never seen any mp's. I'll prob get around to buying an mp4 again when I have the money. Don't think I can be bothered battling customs with the megs again. That was 2 weeks of hell the last time.

They were available at Target for the big mid year sales but they moved very quickly. The odd one is still around but there aren't many left. If you want, let me know cos I know where one is and can put it on layby from you (though it is on the opposite side of town for you). Only $185 w/ the current 15% off sale at Target so lemme know before Wednesday (when sale ends). You'll never get it cheaper than that.

[Paulbot]

the current 15% off sale at Target
Target had 15% off storewide until Saturday. It's over unless there was a separate 15% off toys?

[iceburn]

Saw Mp-04 in Frankston Target today... Target really seems to have only animated recently... but I saw that guy on the bottom shelf and pointed him out to my girlfriend, suddenly the guy standing next to me glanced at what I was pointing at and pounced. He kinda got the toy in a bear hug and wouldn't let go... His wife/ gf said something like "we don't even know how much it is" and I replied "$200" he then said "I don't care... I have to have it" Was funny watching him walking around hugging this toy.

Lucky guy. :D

[d*r*j*]

he seemed pretty happy, even mentioned that he had one without the trailer that he payed $170 for...

[darockk]

[blackie]

[Tober]

MP-4 at Carlingford Target.

[griffin]

Still a single lonly MP-4 at Target Springwood.

[ozrein]

I saw at least 2 MP04s at Waurn Ponds Target. Quite surprising for me since I'm from Canada and never thought I'd see an MP in store. Too bad I didnt have an extra $200 on me.

Well you could've put it on layby... at least its yours already then just go back when you can to pay up the rest. Nice concept this layby scheme...
