[christalcase]

Just saw da kmart catalogue and here's da tf specials listed:

Supreme Devastator - $97
Legends - $5 (shows ROTF ones)
Deluxe - $20 (shows ROTF packaging)
Universe Optimus Prime "Voyager" - $30 (think it's da G1 rerelease thingie that I saw at myer a while back)

[Grievous]

^I dropped into K-Mart today and picked up a couple of things...
;)

[omega3]

the $30 voyager is indeed the G1 optimus reissue, very good price considering its $99 at toys r us

[SofaMan]

There's some good prices on stuff, but none of the current waves where I was. The most current stuff was Swerve, Arcee, Jolt & Blazemaster; no NEST stuff. :(

Oh Blazemaster! been wanting him for ages.

i just HAD to buy arcee from them the day before the sale began... well there was only one left (mine now) so i guess it was lucky i got her at all! and she is worth the extra 5 bucks imo

[DarkHyren]

I never get the Kmart catalog nor do I remember to look at it online (I normally just go to Lasoo for all the catalogs, and they dont do Kmart).
So many thanks to you christalcase, from me and Prime :D

[Paulbot]

At that price I'm going to buy two g1 Optimus Primes and make the fanciest pair of rollerskates you ever did see.

*ducks for cover*

That's a wicked idea. For $30, I couldn't turn it down, pink or not. It'll keep my son away from my Henkeis.

It's almost worth it for the comic and voicebox (as well as the accessories).

One question, is it any different than the version TRU is selling?

[jaydisc]

No different as far as I know. I think by now you've already gotten it though! :D

Everyone seems to be reporting the same deluxes at Kmart across the country.

I noticed though that this particular assortment seems to be from an Asian source. They have the same Chinese language choking warning stickers that I've had on toys from Robotkingdom.

How bizarre. Big W had the multilingual Animated and now Kmart with the chinese ROTF.

Hasbro Corporate: Hey, Hasbro Australia, we got this shit over here no one else wants. Want it?

Hasbro Australia: Would I?! Would I?!

[Kyle]

Those are Hasbro Hong Kong stickers. The bigger one lists the address and phone number of Hasbro HK. :p

[liegeprime]

maybe there was a corporate shakedown somewhere to make hasbro aus pick their stuff from HK instead of US to make shipping cheaper but still charge us the same price :p

[5FDP]

Wow, they're still doing that after all these years. We actually received some of the Chinese reissue G1 toys back in the early nineties. They had similar stickers placed on them.

My Legends TF Movie Ratchet was bought from KMart sometime in 2008, and you can tell it was from the UK given the 'suggested age' marking on the front of the card.

Maybe its more of a case of there's so much of a demand for deluxe figures that they're trying to fill it in any way possible. Supplier of choice is Hasbro US, but because it appears that we can only get limited stock, when the time comes they try to source what they can from where they can.

[jaydisc]

Possibly, but this wave doesn't seem to have any big demand figures. Ah, you said deluxe figures generally, my bad.

I noticed this same wave with the same Chinese writing at a Myer today too.

[griffin]

Two people from 2 different states have noted in the sightings section that some Kmarts are selling Deluxes for $19 instead of $20. No idea why, or how many stores are doing it, but at least it is only a dollar difference.

[k.wong23]

anyone seen any pinkimus primes left? went to Brandon Park, Chaddy and 24/7 Burwood East but didn't find any..was I too late!:?

I believe Parkmore might have a couple left.
