Even though the sale is still about 3 weeks away, Jetfire should be out in force by then, and Target's sale price will be within a couple dollars of the current BigW/Kmart price. And even if your Targets somehow sell out before then, but you find them in a TRU, you only need the Target catalogue and they will price-match it. And maybe even Kmart and BigW if your lucky.
But yeah, it will be a painfully long wait (for me too...) :(
Kurdt gave me a phone message about the Bullcreek sighting while I was doing groceries this morning (Thanks heaps buddy! :D), and I got there within an hour. Took the Big W catalog with me but the checkout girl was a young one and had no clue about price matching so she called her superior. It took about 5 minutes for her to show up while all the customers behind me were waiting. She said "we don't price match" then just turned around and walked away. I thought it was pretty rude. :(Quote:

I gave phone messages to Orion, Roller, Herecticpoo and Bruticus etc. If other WA folks would like me to add them to my list please PM me your mobile. ;)
SentinelPrime I didn't notice you at all. Must have been trying the price match at the counter at the time. :p
Very tempting... :o:pQuote:

Went to city 2day
Target - No Jetfire yet, Pretty Average
Myer - Nothing new
DJs - TF section crap but if you're after wave 1 deluxes, they have a few
Went into BIGW Kingsway, a day later than I had planned on the 2nd.. went in there on the 30th and they had latest ROTF's
By the 2nd July the place was gutted.
LB'd a Leader Megatron, Deluxe Ravage, Mudlap and Barricade and Demolisher Voyager..
Did two things today, handed in my resume at various places whilst looking for jetfire!
Visited Toys R Us Canningtonl; nothing new there cept the FALLEN and the ROTF Whilr packs for 59.99
Went to target Carousel and K mart Carousel, nothing there cept Target now having stock of the FALLEN.
So i gave in and went to Bullcreek target and spotted 4 of the 8 jetfires found earlier by u guys.
Snapped one up hoping someone there would give me a price match with Big W's awesome price; didnt' get approached by the manager with the mole like u guys did but instead someone about the same age. She explained that Target only does price matches when the product they have is on sale...
oh well. here's hoping that jetfire will appear in kmarts, big W's and Toys R us b4 the 15th of July!
leader jetfires at target whitfords! Pics dont do jet convoy justice. Its awesome!
Toyworld Balcatta had 2 Masterpiece Starsrceams @ 89.99
Now they have one left!
Picked up a Jetfire at Target Joondalup :D Apparently, theres heaps of them near an entrance :o
Jetfire now at Joondalup - Lakeside Target (there's heaps of him near one of the entrances).
Still waiting to see him at Big W/Toys R us and Kmart ><!!!
oh yeah, that reminds me, i saw was a hasbro masterpiece starscream for sale at Perth Hobby Centre on murray street abt two weekends ago.Quote:

Nicholson road? Is that a mistake? I didn't think there was a Toyworld anywhere around there, excepting the old one on South St....?
This is a new one I think. It's next to a pet shop and a karate school.
Oooh really. Where is it close to? Carousel end, or further down into Canning Vale?
Further down into Canning Vale. Just checked my receipt, it is actually a new "Toyworld Canning Vale". Unit 3/489 Nicholson Road, Canning Vale.
Yeah theres one in Cannington, right after the double round about past the police station.
There is also a new Toyworld in Malaga, next to JB HiFi on Beach Road... largest Toyworld i have been in... but leader class ROTF was $114.95... i immediately left the building.
Did you mean Joondalup?Quote:

cool, last time i checked target cannington there wasn't any, nice to see them stocking upQuote:

Target Rockingham had at least one Leader Jetfire that I saw (it was over by boys' clothing (I think)) All their TF stuff is spread out in 3 or 4 different spots in the store. But it sure does look like they are gearing up for their upcoming sale.
Rockingham KMart had nothing new, pretty empty for TF stuff actually.
Toyworld Freo has a revarb and did have a scaple till I picked it up..:P oh and I think I shoudl mention that Scaple comes transformed Incorrectly in packaging.
Toyworld Success has Dunerunner, Reverb and The Fallen in stock, they did have Scalpel but I nabbed him, there is a possibility they had others though.
Kardinya KMart has Leader Jetfire (saw at least 2) for $69 as of 9am this morning.
Also noticed Universe Deluxes for $24.
yep, i also saw around 5 jetfires for 69.00 at Lakeside Joondalup Kmart. The jetfires at kmart were in pretty good condition. Target had like 4 jetfires but they weren't as good (bad boxes and whiskers). They were also priced at 69.99 :rolleyes:Quote:

Target Innaloo was most dissappointing. Allegedly Aust Biggest Toy Sale, but the TF section was still kinda stripped (well, OK, they had early wave Voyagers). And no special display... just their usual small section.
need pic of bad and good whiskersQuote:

Kmart would be the best place for jetfire as many ppl have been duped into thinking he may be a target exclusive since he wasn't released anywhere else but target before today (or maybe this week since i gave up looking for jetfire last week :p)
