Kmart Xmas Edition 6 catalogue (Dec 10-24) came today. No TF sale but enticing photo of Netflix Soundwave that I'm sure I'll only ever see at Kmart in this catalogue :mad:.

The official 20% off toy sale at Big W only makes the shelf-stackers' refusal to put out the entire case of stock that much more infuriating...

I really hope that there was a second batch, to be released to stores in the next few weeks.
I think these Netflix figures have been flying off the shelves, even the Voyagers that were released last time. The Leader boxes though seem to be slower to sell, probably because regular shoppers have no idea what is in them and don't want to risk $90 on an impulse gift.

I don't think the "spoiler box" concept works as a marketing gimmick, if the contents aren't a spoiler to Transformers fans, and there is no product image on the box or window for non-fans to know what they are risking almost $100 on (or to be sure that the toy is even inside, as it is well known that people swap out toys and return them for a refund, and windowless boxes make it even easier).

The Voyager Optimus and Soundwave toys have been found at several Kmarts in WA... hopefully they didn't all get sent over to Perth, and we see them in other states as well.

That new catalogue is now currently on the Kmart site.

I'm still not going to hold my breath seeing Soundwave in a store myself. I never saw a Bumblebee on the shelf despite frequent visits to several Kmarts and/or phone calls. Just like Bee, Soundwave is going to sell out quickly to collectors and scalpers. Still, good for the OTCA members who got their Soundwave. I think OP might shelf warm.

BigW has Studio Series Leaders for $48 save $40
And Studio deluxe $29
And ER Voyagers for $49 save $10 (I thought they were $49 to begin with but anyway)

They are in the catalogue but I can’t post photos here.

Edit: Actually I clicked on the Voyager link and they are indeed $39

That'd be great if I didn't already have the SS Leaders but amazing price for those who don't.

earthrise leaders also $49 at bigw

I haven't seen an Earthrise Leader at Big W in ages but really hope I do.
