Plenty of Brawls and one Megatron left at Kmart Carousel.
Drove past Kwinana BigW today, so dropped in.
Heaps of on sale TR figs: Octane, Bitzwing, Krok, Quake, Triggerhappy, Twinferno, Gnaw, Cliffjumper, Kickback, Brawn.
No Seaspray or Cosmos.
Also some studio series (B'bee, Ratchet, Prime), PotP Wave1 deluxes (Swoop, Slug, Dreadwing) and Hungrrr.
Heaps of Octane, Blitwing, Cosmos and Seaspray at BigW Karrinyup. Hardly any deluxe.
Went by Big-W Karrinyup yesterday...
From Studio Series they had DLX Stinger, Ratchet, & Berserker @ $24, and LDR Blackout & Grimlock @ $68. No Voyagers that I saw. Those Leaders are a good deal and I would have grabbed Blackout without further thought if I didn't already order this online...
From Titans Return there was a shelf on the way to actual Toy Section stacked full of Blitzwing & Galvatron @ $15, along with a loads of Comos & Seaspray @ $5. If I saw Gnaws I would definitely have grabbed 2, and may have been tempted by other better figures but this was all I saw. In the actual Toy Section there was only Quake & Twinferno (at higher price than the Voyagers!).
I walked by all the toy shelves I could see but seeing as they sprawled bits all over the store I could well have missed something...
Like others, for $15 I couldn't resist grabbing a Blitzwing - although had to put a few side by side to pick one that actually has a straight Decepticon chest sticker!
Hey Guys,
Did a drive around to my local Big Ws and I have noticed a trend (for the $5 Legends) in that stores are either receiving cartons of v2 Cosmos and Seaspray or Bumblebee, Gnaw, Roadrash, Brawn and Kickback. Stores that have Cosmos and Seaspray don't have the other five and vice-versa.
I found the following stores had the following combinations:
Livingston Big W = Cosmos and Seaspray
Kwinana Big W = Gnaw, Bumblebee, Roadrash, Kickback and Brawn
Armadale Big W = Gnaw, Bumblebee, Roadrash, Kickback and Brawn
Cockburn Big W = Cosmos and Seaspray
I personally picked up another 9 Gnaws to bolster my Sharkticon ranks from 16 to 25 (only square numbers work) :P
Big W Belmont has Cosmos and Seaspray.Quote:

Finally got Studio Series Starscream at a price I’m willing to pay at $34.99 from TRU. 30% off now.
In at Kmart garden city today and they still have SS Brawl and POTP Outback and the purple raptor redeco.
No new stuff that I actually want(still old waves of POTP).
There was a solitary PotP inferno at Kmart Morley today but it is now home with me
No new studio series - just wave one stuff
Just called around to what seems like half the Big W stores in Perth and none of them had any TR Voyagers. Anyone seen Voyagers in the last day or so?
Midland Big W had two Blitzwings this morning, Unfortunately I was looking for OctaneQuote:

Big W HQ is also being less than helpful; apparently a multi-brand, multibilliondollar retail giant has absolutely no ability to ask someone in one of the warehouses to wander down the appropriate aisle and pick out advertised products.Quote:

Several Inferno and Grimlock at Kmart Midland.
1 of each at Target Midland.
1 Blitzwing left at Big W - there was dozens of them a few weeks ago...unbelievable amount.
Nothing else of note.
Thanks for posting that... I heard about the TRU administration but I thought it was just in America - sad to see those shelves sitting empty like that. But yeah after I heard the WTF@TFW crew raving about the Starscream I had to grab it... it's truly a great figure, and very worth it at $35.Quote:

POTP VGR Inferno @ Big W Livingston if anyone wants him :)
K Mart Vic Park has a couple of POTP Infernos, a healthy amount of Cindersaurs and Outbacks, and 1x each of Hungrr and Elita 1.
Nothing beyond wave 1 of SS. There's still a Starscream there that I'm increasingly tempted to buy.
Get him from TRU Cannington. They had heaps of Starscreams there the other day. I thinks it’s now 40% off now too. Paid $35 for mine the other week.Quote:

That’s so weird. Someone must have ticked the wrong box on the order sheet.
Looks like Morley TRU has now closed
They should all be closed now except Cannington as far as I’m aware. A lot of stock moved to Cannington from other stores last week like Marvel and Star Wars.Quote:

How many were there to start with before the closing down announcement?
Morley, Joondalup, Cannington and Innaloo.Quote:

Yeah I was just thinking that recently, the old friday late night shopping after work heading in the city.Quote:

No TRU Cockburn?! Or have I got my wires crossed. (legs crossed too)
Only the East Coast. Lucky I’m not bothered about acquiring Thundercracker.Quote:

Hardly any Transformers left at TRU Cannington. A couple of Studio Starscreams left at 40% off. The Star Wars and Marvel section opposite are absolutely full of stock though.
Nothing left but Berserkers.Quote:

About 5 titan master Brawn left as well.
I got myself some Marvel Legends instead
Yeah a shelf full of berserkers. I bought Marvel Legend X23 and two small lego sets on Wednesday.Quote:

1x SS Starscream because I bought another one for me so now there is only one left.
Crapload of Quakes, Kroks, Triggerhappy, and Twinfernos at BigW Kwinana. $8 each. Few Blitzwings and Octones $15 each too.
Target Innaloo had a hun-grrr this afternoon.
I had to go to Midland Spotlight this morning for the missus and took the opportunity to drop in to Toyworld.
Good thing I did too - they have a catalogue sale that started today with TLK leaders for $40. I bought a Dragonstorm. There seemed to be plenty of Optimuses and Megatrons as well.
They also had cyberverse deluxes/warriors ($30) and legends/commanders ($12) and surprisingly a Beast Hunters Wheeljack!
