sorry bout shit mobile update. Will tidy message when i get home

Phew, so long as it's the TFM2 line I don't have to worry about the HFTD Scouts suddenly disappearing off the shelves! :D I'm so tempted to get Devastator on Layby but just can't bring myself to buy a figure that takes up so much room!

Btw KaRNiV8L PRiME, I assume you do work at Big W and wonder if you can answer me this question -

Can I get layby for multiple toys, even if some of them are scout-classes? I read on the terms and agreements in the catalogue that apparently Lay-By is meant for only purchases above $50 but is that $50 per item or $50 collectively?

Thanks heaps if you can help me out.

Woohoo, is the price of the voyagers live already? At that price I may be able to catch up with my movie collections :)

the total price of layby must be $50

and

the voyagers and scouts in belmont WA are live and it is my understanding that if they are not live now they should be at 2pm tomorrow. Best to check if your big w has set it up yet

KaRNiV8L PRiME you are awesome. I snuck in today and managed to buy the last Mindwipe and Bludgeon my Big W has for $24.88 each! Scoooore!

And picked up a few scouts at $8.73 while I was at it too... :o

They have the yellow voyagers, but no PCCs or deluxes. :( The yellow voyagers sadly weren't on sale...

The prices for some of the non-TFs are already live. So if you can get in today, you'll be able to beat the soccer mums tomorrow.

The TF aisle may be smaller now (thanks to TS3) but if Blacktown is anything like Plumpton, then the toys are on every endcap all around the store as well.

The TF2 sale prices are very tempting, thanks for the update, I was planning on going in tonight to see what I could get presale officially starting.

You still have Screamer in bot mode? I've always wanted a second one and can't say no for less than a deluxe

Thanks to this update went in and grabbed Mindwipe and some robot heroes figures.

No price tags or anything to indicate these items are cheaper, and funnily enough the sale items that were advertised are still their normal prices until later.

Silly old me. I read "live at 2pm tomorrow" and forget to take into account time differences! 2pm in Perth doesn't equal 2pm in Melbourne! :o:o

If someone could post a receipt for the reduced prices of Voyagers and Deluxes that'd be much appreciated...I have no Big W within a day's travel but those prices are pretty good, might be able to grab a Divebomb, and maybe even a Mindwipe/Skystalker combo from KMart.

how would one go about trying to price match the additional scouts @ $8.73 [$15.84], for either yellow packed scouts [brimstone/hubcap] or even PCC 2 packs which normally sell at the same $15.84 price point in the same store [Big W], or at other stores like target or kmart?

I ask with the context that the additional scouts are not in the catalogue, and here in lies the problem...

any one have some wisdom...

Go in and take a photo of the promotion, like the prices they have displayed, and then use that as "evidence". They should price match or at least call up the opposition and confirm that's the price.

Always worked for me.

i asked them at kmart shellharbour if a photo would cut it and they said definitely not as the photo cant be correctly dated...

i think they were just trying to weasel out of price matching

has anyone managed to nab a scout yellow box [hubcap] for the Big w sale price?

Well, show the photo to them and also make it clear that they are free to contact Big W to confirm scouts are that price.

Of course, if that doesn't work just buy a few cheap scouts from Big W, and take the whole bag to K-Mart and show them this is what you bought, and here is the receipt. And then POINT to their sign that says "If you find a lower price, well match it". BAM. Game over!
