could those deluxes be the new terradive and tomahwk? terradve looks f* awesome, a new and different jet mold, yay. and tomahawk doesnt look that bad either, helicopters like motorbikes can prove tricky to engineer. He doesnt seem to look that bad. terradive deffinately!

I'm guessing it's the Optimus Prime with Camshaft and Megatron with Camshaft packages, if it is... it's extremely cheap, you're getting a leader and deluxe for only $67... so tempting

just want to clear up one thing though, are these special prices for the toy sale in July or just normal stock?

That was the standard price in the system. They might be reduced for Toy sale. WA will be getting this stock Friday night so depending on nightfill, they may hit the floor for Saturday morning. Ill post pics if I see them tomorrow.

Very likely, as the HFTD deluxes have been sighted at TRU.

Just wondering, the Leader packages with Optimus and Megatron, are they the ROTF ones, or are they the updated ones? I recall new Optimus has a blade of some sort?

The bonus packs are the older versions in ROTF packaging.

it looks like the first (ROTF) versions of both. The newest version of Prime has hooks not swords

That's right, hooks!

This probably explains the cheap cheap pricing

Hmmm, I guess there was a lot of Camshaft returns ( shelfwarmers no doubt) to Hasbro from the stores that they finally found a way to flog it backso all that fugly plastic toy wouldnt go to waste. I own that toy:o and am really not that impressed with the recoloured figure - wonder if its just Camshaft though or will there be other Deluxe figs included

It's only camshaft as the bonus figure.
And they don't get returns from stores. Even if they did, they wouldn't unpack every figure from the packaging, and then repack it into new packaging - that would just cost too much time, labour and resources.

Still plenty enough of the current megatrons and prime leaders on the shelves.

They had out plenty of payloads and rotf deluxes today too. The TF section is *packed*.

I think I'm skipping tf's this mid year again and just getting (hope they have them by then), new space police legos. I may get hubcap though. :)

Saw heaps of the Skids/Mudflap 2-packs at Big W, along with the new ROTF Prime + Bonus and Black ROTF Leader Megatrons.

Is it possible to buy leaders without the bonus? Like Prime Bonusless? And can I also get Jetfire or is it Prime and Megatron only?

You can get the Leader Optimus Prime in the bonusless (leader only) version however it was still $87 compared to the $68 of the version with the bonus deluxe.....

Whatever they have in store is all you can get for the sale. And I don't think they do rainchecks or transfer stock from other stores.

Leaders without the bonus are at full price - it doesn't matter what is in each packaging, it will come down to the barcode telling the cashier how much you have to pay.

The strange thing is that everytime Big-W has a sale at my local Runaway Bay one there is never any stock. But when there is never a sale they seem to have more stock.

Maybe check the store again on Wednesday afternoon, when it's closer to the sale date and maybe there's a better chance of finding new stock. If not, then maybe it has to do with how your Big W stocks toys, maybe some stores stock toys based on whether (and I'm assuming) they can afford to stock so many new toys and what the local demographic consists of (maybe in your area there isn't much young people and there are more old people).

I have a friend that works at Bunnings and the store that he works at does not stock as much new items as the other stores because his store is actually in mass-debt/loss because they haven't been making enough profits.

I felt the same Chuttla, so I bit the bullet last week and picked one up.
I gave Camshaft to my younger Brother though as I could care less for the Movie based Autobot figures, apart from Leader Class Prime of course. :p

In all the Big W stores I have looked in they have an absolute truck load of the Leader Prime + Camshaft combo remaining they are still going to have plenty at the end of the toy sale, hopefully they reduce them to move them out the door :)
