2 Animorphs spotted in Perth

[Paulbot]

Wow that's a random sighting! :)

It maybe fits in here that the other week at Chadstone I found a store selling Die Cast Concept Camaros in Bumblebee's colours and in various scales, with a sign behind them implying they were Transformers merchandise.

[griffin]

In a retail store? Those things were released back in 97/98. Which ones?
I'm missing:
Visser 3(Andelite)/Ultra Alien
Tobias/Mega sized Hawk
Marco/Beetle

The line only had 13 toys released before it was axed, and are hard to find. Those three are the only ones I am still looking for.

[roller]

they have tobias and some other one

[autobreadticon]

these are not offical transformers hasbro merchandise, but just wanted to let people know of 'bunny truckers' from the latest target catalogues, only available at Target stores. For $9 i just want it cause it can be used as a clear storage case, e.g for pens, rubbish, even you can use it to store food in the kitchen?:)

[roller]

saw energon optimus pen

[i_amtrunks]

Big W has G1 styled Optimus Prime and Megatron Cupa Chup holders on sale for about $5.50 a piece.

They have little poles in their backs that enable each hand to punch out, and if you hit the faction symbol on their waist then their head pops up, all Rock-em Sock-em robots style.

They cant actually punch each others symbols though, but they are pretty good fun and look alright.

[SilverDragon]

I am going to top roller's random sighting with an even more random sighting of my own.

Armada Super Optimus Prime bubblegum dispenser.

Yeah. You heard me.

I found it in Target. The box was really battered, so it was probably something that had never been bought ever. Pressing the chest made it make generic 'Pow! Pew pew pew! Bang!' sounds.

[Pulse]

That's not exactly rare 'round my parts. In the past 6 months, I can remember seeing one at Target Parra & one at another Target (I can't recall which store it was :confused:).

Maybe they stashed 'em in the back from their Armada days (cos no one was buying 'em even them... :rolleyes:) & put 'em back on the shelf in the hopes that the movie hoopla would see them finally sell... :D

[SilverDragon]

I went back there yesterday, and it's still sitting on the shelf. If this thing is a shelfwarmer, then I'm surprised the shelf isn't ON FIRE.

At Big W today I saw a Transformers Advent calendar (yes Christmas stuff is already out in the stores!). It's G1 (not Movie or Animated-based) and can be seen on the maunfacturer's website (http://www.kinnerton.com.au/products/Transformers%20Std%20Advents.html).

On the back is a puzzle version of the Autobot cover from Dreamwave's Generation One Vol 1 #1.

[MV75]

Christmas stuff started like last month. :D

But freaking sweet find on that calendar! I think I'll get a few and have a treat every day from now until christmas day. :D

Found them at both Kmart and Coles last Saturday while I was shopping for my Giant Burger. Both stores had them for $3.50.
I got the one last year, and the chocolate is not what I would call chocolate. I've had compounded chocolate that tasted better. Even the generic brand cooking chocolate is better. The stuff in the advent calendar has weird nutty flavour that stays in the back of your throat for some time. And even if it was any good, they are so small, it's pathetic.

Just remembered the Austin Powers scene with the 'nutty' coffee... :p

[autobreadticon]

I saw that puzzle with G1 Robot hero optimus today, the packaging looked great,it couldn't scan a price ,so they recall all the stock because it wasn't meant to be on shelves yet. But not a bad display piece

[autobreadticon]

Those puzzles are out , i think they are an Australian exclusive ,$$$$ on ebay?

[autobreadticon]

TRU has the puzzles at $15 each

[iceburn]

TRU has the puzzles at $15 each

I spotted G1 Transformer DVD boxset selling at $79.98 at JB HiFi last Thursday. I don't know if it's store-wide or just a random sales at a particular store.

[autobreadticon]

Tk has those transformer bubblebath thingys for $3, WHAT A BARGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!

[reillyd]

This is the first time I've bought an advent calendar, but an authentic G1 calendar for only 4.99 is too good to pass up. Found it at Pacific Fair TRU checkout

[griffin]

Typical TRU... charging an extra $1.50 (43%) over Coles and Kmart.

[Paulbot]

I saw a Transformers Animated "make your own" wall calendar at one of those Shopping Centre Calendar stands. It was $16 and was square sized but not a full size Calendar.

Based on the description and images on the back, each month has a image of Animated Detroit (or other locations) and stickers of the characters you can place as you wish to create your own battle scenes. Almost brought it on the spot but I needed the cash for Universe Deluxes.

[Kyle]

Now that you mention this, Tetsuwan bought one of these calendars at the last Perth meet.

[Trailer Park Ninja]

I spotted G1 Transformer DVD boxset selling at $79.98 at JB HiFi last Thursday. I don't know if it's store-wide or just a random sales at a particular store.

They got them on sale for that price here is Sydney NSW stores too. Good pickup if you haven't already got it.

[griffin]

Found at Kmart today, some TFs Dinnerware. They are all Animated themed.

From left is a tumbler with Optimus and BBee on it ($6), Spoon and Fork set ($16), Squeeze Sip bottle ($10), Fun Float bottle ($10).
The 'Fun Float' bottle has a sealed liquid compartment at the base with a floating Decepticon symbol in it.
http://www.otca.com.au/merch01.jpg

Small plate and bowl ($7 each).
http://www.otca.com.au/merch03.jpg

And a 3-pack of the Tumbler, Plate and Bowl for $20 (no saving, but you get a nice carry box).
But in this week's sale (ends today though), they are on sale for $12.
http://www.otca.com.au/merch02.jpg

And I took a photo of the TFs stationary they had at Kmart today while I was there.
At the bottom of the photo is a nice looking Autobot Symbol Magnet, about 15cm squared, which the packaging says is good for 'car or locker'.
Yes, it would be nice on the car, but I doubt it would stay very long, as it would get pinched quite quickly.

Paulbot mentioned finding the TFs Advent calendar at BigW a week or two ago. Probably the same one I saw in NZ in early September. Price is usually about $4 (they ain't very fancy).

Yep, and it's also at Kmart stores now too for those interested

[griffin]

I opened mine up today (to take a photo for Lithart, but now don't need to) and noticed that it's actually made in Australia this time (the ones from the last two years were from that UK Kinnerton company), and the chocolate was actually edible too (the previous ones tasted terrible).

I took a photo of the back though, and will post it up later (camera is currently recharging).

[griffin]

Saw a nice looking pack of cards at Target today, in a tin case for $10. Will get some later though (didn't have time to buy them yesterday) and take some photos.

As for the calendar - I got the photos off my camera:

http://www.otca.com.au/calendar1.jpg

http://www.otca.com.au/calendar2.jpg

Surprisingly, these seem to be really hard to find. In every store I go to that has a display of 6-8 master cartons of these licensed calendars, there are no Transformers ones. I've only seen them once at a Kmart, and it wasn't a whole box, just 2 of them.
Maybe they are selling out really fast? Or stores would rather have Bratz and Ben10 junk instead....

[Paulbot]

I saw the Animated meal set for $20 at Kmart. I think Griffin posted a pic of it earlier..

[griffin]

Post #38 above. I bought a set, but haven't used any of it yet.

[Zippo]

New Zealand Warehouse stores have Xmas Stockings and M&M Dispensors. Both made in Australia, so guessing they will be over there shortly.

[Sleeve]

This came in to work today (Joyce Mayne, QLD). Retail price is $29.95, and you should be able to find it in Harvey Norman and other such places.

Looks like an expanded version of the 'Create and Paint' PC CD-ROM I found at Australia Post mid year.

Some Transformers Merchandise found recently.

Giant Giftbox of 15 different games and novelty items, at Kmart for $35.

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2giftbox1.jpg

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2giftbox2.jpg

Real working Digital Camera (the Autobot Symbol), at Target (can't remember the price).

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2camera.jpg

Ceramic Mug (with party mix lollies) - at Target for $10.
(It's a little smaller than the TF1 Mug, which came with hot chocolate and marshmallows)

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2mug.jpg

Movie Bucket (or used for storage, or even as a bin), at Target for $15.
Comes filled with Popcorn.

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2bucket.jpg

Giftpack of about 5 or 6 novelty items - $10.
Was pictured in a Pick-N-Pay catalogue (Coles Hypermarkets, only in Brisbane - so could be in Coles or Kmart in the rest of the country).

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2giftpack.jpg

Heelskates - $15 (not new, but was advertised in this weeks Kmart catalogue)
The fit over the shoe, allowing the wearer to roll along on their heels.

http://www.otca.com.au/tf2heelskate.jpg

[1AZRAEL1]

Some of those things look wicked, I may have to pick some of it up.

The skates idea I like.

[i_amtrunks]

That 15 games thing was marked as $45 at Penrith Kmart, and there was a smaller version too, but no prices.

About time we got TF based junk, Ben10 and co have been doing it for ages! :p

[griffin]

Found at a Woolworths (in Darwin), an Animated inflatable bop-bag (you fill the base with water, and inflate the top section). I got one of the TF07 Movie bop-bags a couple years back, but it didn't last long (water started leaking out of the base).
This one was priced at $6.81.

http://www.otca.com.au/anibag.jpg

[griffin]

Found and bought from a Kmart (Sunnybank) a cheaper version of the Ceramic Mug. It has a smaller bag of lollies in it, and comes 'carded' rather than boxed.
Priced at $6 (with it's own special Kmart price sticker on it).

http://www.otca.com.au/mug7.jpg

Also saw today at Target Springwood, quite a few of the $10 boxed Mugs and the Popcorn-filled buckets. Went there because I couldn't find any at the Target at Browns Plains.
And at a couple of Kmarts, I saw $5 mystery-bags of kiddie merchandise items (5 random items out of a dozen of the cheaper items found in the big $35 boxed set of items and the smaller $10 packet that Trunks mentioned above).

[griffin]

Christmas Eve I found another Christmas themed TFs item - a mini-stocking filled with sugary stuff (marshmallows, lollies, lollipop) and folded up sticker sheet (which damaged all the stickers). Priced at $8 at Target. I'll get a photo of it later.

[griffin]

Photo of the (empty) mini-stocking, and crumpled sticker sheet that was inside:

First Easter themed TFs merchandise I've ever seen. Which suggests the brand is finally getting popular enough to warrant more unusual licensed items.

Both of these were at Target Mt Gravatt, for $13 each.

First is a metal tin with 10 easter eggs inside. Despite the price, it is a nice container for holding parts and accessories in. (Leader class Optimus toy is just used for scale)

http://www.otca.com.au/easter01.jpg

http://www.otca.com.au/easter02.jpg

And the odd one, which is a clock packed with 4 easter eggs (why a clock for easter???).

http://www.otca.com.au/easter03.jpg

The Optimus toy was again just used for scale (still haven't transformed it yet, so at least I'm getting some use out of it :p ).

[Kyle]

The tin box is so nice!!! :eek:

[griffin]

The Optimus is actually '3D/embossed' on the lid, which is pretty cool. :)

Also sighted yesterday at the JayJays store at Mt Gravatt, 2 new T-shirts, a new 2-pack of underwear, and a Stationery Set. Info posted here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=6915).

Also - a semi-sighting. At the Coles warehouse I work at, we just got in some of the Kids TF2 movie costumes, so they'll be appearing at stores soon.

[Maxiewolf]

Not really a new sighting but Big W at Noosaville is having a big clear out of their clothing, There where quite a few of their retro Tshirts and Hoodies going out for $10 including Optimus prime tshirts, and hoodies with optimus,jazz and hotrod on there for $10 too.

Might be worth a look at your local BigW if they doing a clear out and you where after these.

[griffin]

I'm sure this is new - saw today at JayJays, a white t-shirt with a greyscale Bumblebee head covering the entire front.
Looks a bit weird, and not even in colour either.

[griffin]

More of the JayJays t-shirts (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=8641)sighted today at Hyperdome.

Animated Game Collection, found at a Toyland store (Carindale).
(Toyland is a breakaway group of Toyworlds, forming their own small franchise)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/animgc1.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/animgc2.jpg

It's a big box of stuff, discounted to $35 - but I'm more interested in the figurines.

(note that it has a Walmart sticker on it... so probably was left over factory stock, which pre-applied that exclusive store sticker on it)

[5FDP]

That is cool. I would get that just for the figurines as well. I wonder if they can be found here in NSW.

[jaydisc]

Yeah, those figures are neat. I remember spying one on Derrick Wyatt's desk and asking what it was.

[griffin]

A t-shirt sighting, but someone was wearing it, so don't know if it is official, or custom made...
A black t-shirt with a big blue Autobot symbol on the front, with Moari 'tattooing' on the bottom half of the symbol. And it was being worn by a Moari looking person too.
Very unexpected.

[5FDP]

Pretty sure I have seen them at the local markets here in Sydney Griffin. They're not official merchandise.

[griffin]

Looks like another licensed item did sneak its way to stores this christmas - another coffee cup with lolly bag. Same cup as the one released at Easter, which is different to the cup with lolly bag released last Christmas.
I found it in Target (Chermside) this morning, for $5.

Spotted a mint copy of G1 Transformers monopoly today in a little book and collectables shop in little Collins st in Melbourne.

Had $80 on it, but it was crossed out, so might be cheaper.

And as they have just re-opened they currently have 10% off.

Be careful adds, there is a KO of Transformers monopoly out there. I'd be questioning where they got their stock from.

[griffin]

Usually the KO boardgames don't have the green Hasbro logo anywhere... so that might be something to look for as well.

Thanks. I wasn't planning on buying it. But now I am interested to know if it is genuine or not.

It looked like this:

If I get time tomorrow I might go back and have a closer look. ..

My TF Monopoly is a knock off and I don't really care because it's still stupidly fun to play.

[tinyJazz]

I'd pay a good price for the pewter Jazz figure that comes with the first version of the tf monopoly. ;)

[jena]

Now I don't know if mine is a KO or not, it has the green Hasbro square on the back but I always thought it was a KO because the 'pewter' pieces are actually really cheap plastic and the game board itself isn't very high quality.

Mine looks like this:
http://www.spudart.org/blog/images/2007/transformers-monopoly-game.jpg

[1AZRAEL1]

I haven't seen that one before, maybe it is legit but a different version.

Jena, I'd hate to say it, but I know yours is a KO, I have that one as well. The board should be hard cardboard, not the flimsy plastic you probably have. And the game pieces are meant to be pewter, not plastic. Also, my set ended up having the Simpsons properties :p

The board is cardboard, but really thin cardboard. One of the game pieces broke straight away because the plastic was so cheap. Either way, I don't really care because it's still fun to play. Plus, my mum bought it for me and she meant well.

Found these at Woolies the other day, for $3 each. A bit expensive, but I like puffy stickers... so I bought some.

Saw these at Myer Chermside saturday morning - the projector watch that JayJays were selling last year, and were released in America middle of this year for the DotM movie.
I forgot the price, but were somewhere between $10-20 I think.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/041.jpg

Note the remote control Barricade on the right - a testament to how long stock sits in Myer stores, as that one was released in 2007, and there were quite a few other items there that are up to 3 years old.

winter jacket. About $40, with the competition being promoted (I didn't even notice it, as this was before I went to Toyfair and saw the flyers there).

Found at Target around Easter, a bed set (doona cover and pillow case). Must be a few months old though, because it is a Dark of the Moon theme.
About $20 I think... but could be wrong as I've forgotten.

Today I saw at a Michel's Patisserie, kids' fruit drink pop-top bottles with licensed Brands, including Transformers.

And at a franchise called "That's Hot Gifts & Collectables", a variety of Transformers Merchandise from Ikon Collectables, and some imported items (judging by the Chinese characters & no obvious Licensing tags).


While searching for these items online, I found a couple other items instead, on a Tasmanian snack food wholesaler website (http://www.robbiesonline.com.au/Stock/Index/) (search for Transformers).

The figurine capsules (http://www.robbiesonline.com.au/Images/full/TRANSFORMERS%20CANDY%20EGG%2010G.jpg) that Sharky was collecting.
And the lollipop heads (http://www.robbiesonline.com.au/Images/full/TRANSFORMERS%20FINGER%20POPS%2012G.jpg) that were in one of the Easter Items... looks like they will be available separately in places like convenience stores and chemists.
You'd have to have really small fingers though, as the holes in the base aren't very big.

For anyone with kids, I just saw in Target in Swan Hill a Transformers Prime: Megatron hoodie. Looked awesome with just his big angry face on the front and a zipper down the middle. Would suit about 9 year olds. WHY DONT THAT MAKE THEM IN MY SIZE!?!?!

TF3 Bumblebee Alarm clock - $7.72

TF3 Figurine Capsules/Eggs (the ones Sharky collected and reviewed here (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?t=13060))
But this time, they were in their own master case of 12, for $2 each.

The box looks more like this when not in display mode...

(yes, I bought all 12, so just grabbed the box to add to the collection)
The resulting contents can be seen at Sharky's review topic.

Transformers Prime birthday card at a small gift store today.

(There was an Aussie website of the manufacturer on the back but I didn't note it.)
