US Costco exclusives (and maybe here too).

[griffin]

With the arrival of Costco in Australia in a few months time, we are already expecting some exclusive items (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=4622)(Roleplay 2-pack and a Voyager 2-pack). Well, we now know what the Voyager 2-pack is... the Ratchet Vs Grindor set revealed recently here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=5328).

Someone posted to tfw2005 (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/official-listings-for-costco-transformers-exclusives-168299/)a list of upcoming Costco (US) store exclusive items, and since 2 could be coming here already, maybe the others will as well, including the cheaper Devastator.


Transformers Voyager Figure 2pk (repack Ratchet vs Grindor)
• Item #416598
• Sell: $32.99
• Units: 40,240

Transformers Supreme Combiner- “Devastator”
• Item # 416620

A cheaper devestator would be awesome, and in line with the Costco savings theme. But would they necessarily carry US exclusives? Target AU, for example, doesn't automatically offer all of Target US stuff, Kmart AU is not part of Kmart US, etc.

Here's hoping though

[griffin]

Costco AU is part of Costco US, so it is possible.

Target AU has no relation to Target US (they just have the same name). Same goes for Kmart, which is why it doesn't guarantee our stores getting the same exclusives. If they already have a store sticker on them from the factory (like a lot of the Target stuff, and the TF1 exclusives), it is easier for Hasbro AU to get that store here to take it on (or at least, Hasbro AU would hope they take it, or else they have to open up all the cases and cover up the sticker - like BMac Fox-kids or TF1 Movie toys).

Cool! Looking forward to shopping there then!

Well you might be waiting awhile for it to hit QLD as they wont be here for a few years, the first is opening in Melbourne in the next couple of months and then the following year (apparently) in Sydney and then in a couple of years after that, Brissie.

Do you reckon the Melbourne will have devs when they open at docklands, or will they even get him in at all?

Only time will tell.
