*Bigw Toy sale 1st july*

[MV75]

Just a note in advance, 19 days to go.

This is the big one that has layby until christmas. My local is opening a 8am as well, earlier than usual, so you might want to check your stores too to avoid long queues.

[liegeprime]

Hmmm i know what you mean about long queues.... it snakes all around the sides of the store and its reaally reaaally long prolly longer due to all the prams of the mothers in line.:D

[MV75]

And the trolly loads of stuff they have.

The trick is knowing what you want and getting it, then go straight to the counter. All the while everyone else is still milling about loading carts.

[Stompy]

If the last Toy Sale and any major sale Big W does, head in there the night before and scan prices. From my experience the prices kick in late arvo on the eve of sales. I had the entire range to pick and choose for myself on a wednesday evening in my local Big W.

[Hursticon]

What are the odds of the 2nd Wave of Generations figures coming out before hand?
Fingers Crossed. :D:p

Prices usually "go live" at approx 2pm on the wednesday before the advert starts

[MV75]

But they usually won't do the layby until the next day.

Who's included in the second wave? Straxus? That one I would certainly get!

[Hursticon]

Red Alert, WFC Soundwave and WFC Megatron!!! :D:D:D

[MV75]

Mmmmmm redalert. Might get it.

Which is all well and good unless you want to laybuy stuff.

Hmmm pass for me then. I dont collect the WFC figs. Already have Henkei Alert..... ah well my wallet can relax.

[5FDP]

The word I have been hearing is that wave 2 isn't too far away so it's a distinct possibility. I can hear the grumblings already over on the international forums :p

[Jaisun]

But they usually won't do the layby until the next day.

My local Big Wubbleyoo does a 24 hour hold, so it's worth checking with them. So you can go in Wednesday arvo, pick ur gear care free, 24-hour hold them, head to the lay-by counter at 8am Thursday, boom! =o)

And ty for the heeads-up =o)

If your lay-by counter is that free by 8am on the Thursday, you are very lucky.

[mknell]

though normal layby should be fine to use just not the no deposit/xmas layby

[Jaisun]

If your lay-by counter is that free by 8am on the Thursday, you are very lucky.

I'm only saying 8am as an assumption that your stuff is already set aside, so you can instantly lay-by, where almost every other customer with lay-by i mind will spend at least 10-20 minutes getting their stuff together before they start queuing the lay-by counter. The least hassle method though would be to do the 24 hour hold at say 5pm Wednesday, then you have until 5pm Thursday to head in and put them on lay-by. But like mknell said, this is only really for people who want to lay-by to xmas.

[kaiden]

will the transformers be cheaper?

[Gutsman Heavy]

will the transformers be cheaper?

my local big w just made more room for TFs so I'm guessing yes!

[jaydisc]

Interesting. I've seen the reverse. Where TFs used to be in a few of my local Big Ws has now been superseded by Toy Story 3 crap. I hope you're right and it's just temporary.

Same at Melbourne's CDB Big W.....

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

Same at Melbourne's CDB Big W.....

Sorry Guys. This is the new layout. Most stores will/should be changing it by now. This has come down from H/O

[FFN]

They've moved Transformers from the island in front of the toy section to the action figure aisle, but from my observation, the overall total space for Transformers has increased (I've always found Big W's "little shelving island for promoted products" strategy to be pretty poor in terms of available space for products.)


I hope they'll have sale-specific items this year (like how Kmart had the Endor AT-AT for $50 back in 2008).

[Golden Phoenix]

Any catalogues out yet?

[foor]

Is K-Mart doing a toy sale this year as well? Very strange as they're normally simultaneous to Big W but I haven't heard anything.

[KaRNiV8L PRiME]

I will get Big W Toy brochure next Wednesday. Will be online the sunday before it starts

[Autocon]

Will let you know when I get the Brochure :P

[Robzy]

About time! If you're referring to the TTP, they've been slack of late! :rolleyes:

[Gutsman Heavy]

yeah TTP have padded out a bigger TF area, mostly using Leader Jetfires as a stop gap

[JuzMel]

Hurray! Layby till Xmas sounds real good, am wanting the new Cybertronian figures!

Apparently the Kmart one is starting on Thu 1 July.

http://ourkidz.com.au/content/view/1157/298/lang,en/

[liegeprime]

oooh more sales for us then, thanks Mel.

[foor]

That's great news. I'm looking forward to July 1st now, since my K-Mart and Big-W are in the same shopping centre.

[TF76]

Toy sale time is my favorite time of year. I'll probably looking for Lego as I haven't really liked much of the transformers this year.

I hope there is some exciting stuff in the cataloge.

[foor]

Wow.. besides the TF's, there's really nothing else I want....

Oh well, more money saved..

[Gouki]

The toy sale was really better last year and the year before. I may say differently when the prices are there but besides a couple of Lego sets (I hate store exclusives so damn much) a few TFs and a handful games it's very lackluster.

[mknell]

I'm wondering how much the Voyagers will go for

[5FDP]

Agreed, however ROTF had just come out and we were spoilt by the range of toys released (even though most seemed to dislike the movie aesthetics).

[autobreadticon]

hey guys does *HFTD Deluxe 18.66 include generations deluxe toys (WFC)? Are they the same code? peux-tu m'aider?

[foor]

hey guys does *HFTD Deluxe 18.66 include generations deluxe toys (WFC)? Are they the same code? peux-tu m'aider?

I don't think so. But I'm still going to try!

If it's not then my plan B is to take the catalogue to Toyworld and see if I can pricematch, since deluxe and generations are same size/price there.

Fingers crossed...

[JuzMel]

I'm assuming the HFTD deluxes are not the Generations deluxes? Cause I went to scan yesterday and they are still coming up as $24.98

It should




New Transformers Deluxe Vehicles
$18.66
Starts 01 July - Ends 14 July
New. Hot buy. Price after promotion $24.66.
Styles may vary by store.

The Toy shown is also WFC Bumblebee.

[snaketales]

The Toy shown is also WFC Bumblebee.

If you zoom in the label says "battle blade bumblebee", which is not the WFC one alas.

Here's hoping the sale does include generations, though

[christalcase]

not sure if anyone is interested but I just realised in the catalogue they have the 17 Disc G1 Boxed Set for $74.84

[fatbot]

Bugger, it shouldn't matter though, it says on there "new Transformers deluxe vehicles", It doesn't stipulate generations or HFTD, you could argue and win that point.

[kaiden]

i was thinking that too. good thing i didnt give into temptation and buy them at $30 each when i saw them at toyword last time.

[foor]

You're lucky you don't have crazies who buy out the stock before the sale even started. I didn't take that chance and bought one of each, because I came the a few days later and they were sold out.

Here's hoping they get restocks in time for the sale...

[blackoptimus]

I'm assuming the HFTD deluxes are not the Generations deluxes? Cause I went to scan yesterday and they are still coming up as $24.98

um.... the sale is 1st of July, the prices would obviously be full until the sale date.

i went to big w at arndale and they had none of the generations line. 5 movie deluxes - pathetic. i hope they get more stock in.

[foor]

Same here. Mine has no stock at all. They even sold out of the Mudflaps and Ravages! They're really prepping for the sale, I see a pile of Devastators and scouts, even a few voyagers, but no deluxes....

[JuzMel]

Just back from Big W, yes most of the toys are scanning up with Sale Prices. But the $18.66 "TF Deluxes" as they mentioned in the catalogue are still scanning up with $24.66. So couldn't get any. :( This includes TFM2 and HFTD.

But leader prime, the scouts and the FAB's are scanning up as sale price already. HFTD voyagers still normal price, didn't have any other voyager around to scan.

I agree with u there Mel, I also just came back from Big W. Wanted TF2 deluxes Brawn and Ratchet but still at normal price :(

Couldnt find Mindwipe as well....

[JuzMel]

Yeah that sucks! Funny how most of the items on sale are already on their sale price, yet the deluxes are not. :( I also so want a Blundgeon and Mindwipe.

Do those scout prices include HFTD scouts too?

[i_amtrunks]

Just came back, and there was a lady there arguing with staff about some prices changing over and others not.

According to the staff member the prices are changing at staggered times, some items (such as the older TF stock) changed over at 2pm, but items like the lego sets and bigger items will change while stores are closed about 8-9pm tonight in time for when the store opens again at midnight.

[mknell]

Just back from big w auburn, while they had sweet fa in the deluxes the hftd ones did scan up as $18.66 there, but they didn't have any generations for me to try and scan. Though sea spray still scanned up as $48 he was the only voyager they had

[JuzMel]

Do those scout prices include HFTD scouts too?
Nah HFTD Scouts are still scanning up as $15.66. :( HFTD voyagers are also still scanning up as $48.xx.

[MV75]

Ok, while I'm at bigw tomorrow morning and if I find a blugeon, would anyone want me to get it for them? Plus how much should it be?

[foor]

Bludgeon and the older voyagers should scan at 24.88

[mknell]

yeah he scans as 24.88 i checked at plumpton big w. I checked a generations thrust & he too is 24.88 sadly. Funny though so was brawn. But all hunt for the decepticons delux were the 18 price yet the voyagers stay at 48

[kaiden]

anyone in SA see any generations at big w? anyone going to the midnight sale?

im thinking about it but since i dont collect movie transformers it might be pointless for me.

[twisted_belly]

I saw a couple of generations bumblebee in BigW Cumberland park this morning, although none of the other generations.

TrU TTP has all the generations except for optimus (I took the last one :p) two days ago, and with their current sale you may want to grab them if you're desperate, although the prices are not as low as bigW.

[adds]

Just a heads up.

BigW in Altona, VIC has about 7 Mindwipe's. Actually, this store has the most stock I have seen of the different releases and sizes, including generations.

And BigW in Werribee, VIC has a few Mindwipe's and a few Bludgeon's.

[Ingram]

I'm heading in at midnight to pick up Drift, even if he doesn't scan up at $18 bucks.

If they do scan at the cheaper prices I will grab WFC BB.

[jjr]

I'm heading in at midnight to pick up Drift

Lucky you, if we heading in at midnight in WA we would have 8 hours of waiting for the doors to open in the cold :(

[Ingram]

I've got to admit I'm surprised my store is opening at midnight, pretty crazy.

I also know Drift is waiting for me because I unofficially put him on lay-buy earlier today :P

[kaiden]

just got back from the sale. managed to get wfc optimus & bumblebee and thrust but no drift :(

[foor]

Were they discounted, or still regular price?

[griffin]

For those trying to get HFTD, Generations or any other figures matched to the catalogue prices, check out Kaiden's post (http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showpost.php?p=177312&postcount=654). (challange them on the wording of the catalogue, rather than accepting their own internal product codes that scan up the prices on their computers)

[mknell]

Still regular price :(

[JuzMel]

Big W Southland as at 12am.

Had heaps of the HFTD Deluxes at $18.66, they are located at the shelf near the cosmetics! A few walks around the store and Icy and I still could'nt find it, we had to ask the store person!

Also had TF2 Movie Shadow Megatron and Prime at $67 - with or without the free deluxe figure. Also had Leader Starscream but not on sale at $88. The FAB Skids and Mudflap is situated all the way the other side where the dog food is.

Also has the various scouts for $8.76, no FAB at $12.76 left except Blackout.

No generations deluxes nor were there any voyagers except Payload and Ratchet (Yellow box) which were still scanning up as $48..

[kaiden]

Were they discounted, or still regular price?

Just reposting this :


Was at the midnight toy sale looking for Generations. The prices scanned at 24.66 and the guy from toys had to come out. He checked his store copy and said the code is different and I told him the catalogue said "TFs Deluxe Figures #Assorted styles" (I had noticed TFA deluxe figures too.) And he said okay $18.66ea it is.

[foor]

My Big W has zero deluxes, even before the sale started. Very poor. However I did take the catalogue to Toyworld and asked them to price match what they had in stock and they did after some reluctance. But their stock is slim pickings...

Yeah, don't come to Darwin. We got no Transformers....

[5FDP]

My Big W has zero deluxes, even before the sale started. Very poor.

This has been my experience with my local Big W as well. When the sales have finished, they always magically seem to restock. Yes Big W Rouse Hill... I'm talking about you!

(quoting myself, as it is easier to refer to)

Christalcase and I tried to get the BigW at Garden City to correct the price on a Generations toy, but wouldn't - they noted the different coloured packaging and product code (darn observant staff members).

If you have a TRU handy, use the BigW catalogue to get something like Generations price-matched, as they will only see the 'Deluxe' label on the BigW catalogue (and show them where it says it on the side of the Generations toy bubble). I've found TRU are the easiest to price-match, possibly because they make so much money on their regular prices, they aren't too fussed about the occasional loss of profit on a price-matched item.

[Ingram]

Picked up my DRIFT today from Big W after having it unofficially on lay buy (which I'm glad I did because they had none left).

It scanned at $24.66 but I showed them the catalogue and they changed the price on the spot, was not a struggle at all, considering it's plain as day in the catalogue that the deluxe figures ARE $18.66 and it says right there on the toy that it's a deluxe.

[kaiden]

Christalcase and I tried to get the BigW at Garden City to correct the price on a Generations toy, but wouldn't - they noted the different coloured packaging and product code (darn observant staff members).

Looking at the catalog and it says NEW TRANSFORMERS DELUXE VEHICLES# (Styles may vary by store)

I would tell them that unless they correct the catalog then the advertisement is misleading. The Generations Line is -Transformers -New and -A varied style.


finally got drift, thanks skywarp. TRU were all too happy to price-match and the girls working there today were not bad looking either :D

The girl at the counter had one look at the picture and it was done! So yes follow griffin's advice and pricematch through TRU served by a cute girl if possible.

[autobreadticon]

damn those SW toys are pretty popular, couldnt find the one im after...

[MV75]

Ah well. I could have bought at least 2 bludgeons today. Noone wanted one though it seems. :)

I'd have to say though that the tf aisle was totally empty of people this morning, they were all in the lego or "girls stuff". :)

K mart on the other hand, a few people in the tfs, but most again, elsewhere. HA toys just sat there. I won't mention devastator or the other big toys. :) Suffice to say, they won't run out.

[griffin]

Looking at the catalog and it says NEW TRANSFORMERS DELUXE VEHICLES# (Styles may vary by store)

I would tell them that unless they correct the catalog then the advertisement is misleading. The Generations Line is -Transformers -New and -A varied style.

Yeah, I tried both of those reasons (pointing out 'Deluxe' and 'styles may vary'), but one of the managers was called over and refused to budge. She seemed to be well educated on the different Transformers products and their different product codes, and was determined that the sale was intentionally only relating to the Autobot Alliance Deluxes.

You win some, you lose some... :(

[foor]

That's a bummer to hear Griffin. It's very rare when a manager is so clued in on a particular brand.

Maybe go in on the weekend when there's a different manager on shift?

i'd say she was just mean in general. you know how in catalogs they have those disclaimers saying 'does not include *item* in photo' if she insists Generations doesnt fit the criteria it should say so in the catalog instead of being vague and open to interpretation - luckily she doesnt work in america or she would be fired for all the complaints and temptation to sue.

[Dkaris]

But how is what s in the catalogue the managers fault? she didn't make the catalogue. she got sent an email from head office saying this is whats on sale. put it out. if you have an issue with a catalogue being misleading then contact the stores head office.

[gdmetro]

argh...

I need to pick up a bludgeon...

but wont get a chance to get to a bigw until the weekend

Hopefully there will be 1 left, or then its not meant to be :(

[kaiden]

i never said its her fault - i said its the catalog advertising vaguely. all i said about the manager was she was being mean to griffin - being picky about what exactly is discounted.

[Ingram]

I'm sorry but I don't see what the problem is. The catalogue clearly indicates that deluxe figures are $18.66. It does not exclude any particular range of deluxe figures. It simply states that they may vary store to store. To get picky however, the catalogue does state "deluxe vehicles" which could be interpreted as just vehicles only, which is pretty stupid really.

The pricing on the computer system is not matching that of the catalogue. Most likely because the catalogue is wrong, so either they will fix this by selling all deluxe figures at the advertised price or they will issue a notice regarding it.

My experience, find a check out chick who's been working all day and is ready to go home/doesn't give a shit. Chances are they will put the price through at the catalogue price after showing them.

[popculturepooka]

Big W Kuraby (QLD) took the price of deluxe generations down to $18.66 after pointing out the catalogue issue no problem.

However they wouldn't do the same to the $48 HTFD Voyagers, even though the lady at the self serve registers was a bit confused herself by the pricing differerence.

[JuzMel]

*sigh* :rolleyes: I guess with the price matching stuff, it all boils down to a bit of luck and whether or not the sales person is on a good mood that day. But I do agree that since the catalogue does say "Deluxes styles may vary", it certainly does apply to all types of deluxes.

In any case, for any melbournians still looking for Voyagers or WFC Generations to price match, Big W South Yarra as at 10pm last night still had:

Voyagers
- 2 Recon Ironhide, 2 Blue Primes, 1 Mindwipe, 2 Blundgeons $24.88
- WFC Generation deluxes 2 Bumbees, 2 Primes, 1 Drift scanned @ $24.88

They also had the deluxes wave of Ratchet, Dead End, Mud flap, bumblebee etc - which I didn't scan cause I was in a rush.

[Ode to a Grasshopper]

We have no Big Ws in Northwest Tassie, and with my injured mother housebound I can't make the trip to Hobart to try there - if any of you lovely, wonderful, generous, good-looking:D Melbournites or Sydneysiders were able to nab me a Recon Ironhide at the sale price and send it over I'd be most grateful.:)
I posted this in the Toy Scout section too, but nothing like casting a broad net.

[STL]

Found a Generations Drift this morning and just for the hell of it went up and got its price corrected down to $18.66.

And geez, those Camshaft/Prime packs aren;t moving anywhere.

[griffin]

Yeah, saw heaps of them at a BigW up here, and didn't see any 'dents' in the wall (no boxes taken to be bought). I was surprised that it is just Optimus too, as Megatron was released as well with Camshaft, but we only seem to have the Autobot leader here.
I guess kids and parents have had enough of the Movie line, and the 'converted' (fans) would already have a version of Optimus by now (or know about the better Kmart 2-pack with Jetfire and spiffy gun/paintjob).
BigW looks to have got a really good deal on them, but will probably still have to discount them to get rid of them.

[blackoptimus]

Has anyone sighted Leader class Megatron? I can't find him anywhere!

My local Big W restocked most of the toys today and noticed that they have the Generations deluxes again. 2-3 cases worth half in the toy area and the other half in the temporary sales section. Didn't scan for prices though.

Also saw they restocked with PCC 2 packs.

Same here. They typically restock Thursdays. But no Generations too. Just more deluxes, PCCs and scouts.
