Australian Transformers Price Comparison Listing 2014
Here we go again with another price comparison topic.
Previous ones for reference - 2011 - 2013.
This only covers the six major chains that carry a "full range" of toys - BigW, Target, Kmart, ToysRUs, Toyworld, Myer... plus Coles and Woolies on just the smaller figures.
PLEASE POST ANY missing or changed prices (here or in the sightings section), and it will be added to this first post.
Anything with $? means it has been sighted there, but no price is known yet.
Prices are rounded to nearest dollar if it is within 10 cents of that dollar.
