QLD Transformers Sightings.

Target Garden City on Thursday afternoon had the green Kingdom core class fossil, but no Soundwaves.

Mr Toys Macgregor on Friday afternoon had about a dozen Kingdom T-Wrecks for $99 each. And a few Core class Soundwaves.
Unfortunately they didn't have any of the new Kingdom or SS Leaders.

Nice to hear them having something new, but I wonder if this would be the one weekend recently that doesn't have a discount sale at Myer.

According to the website, there's a 'buy one, get one 50% off' deal for the weekend. Hopefully that's also available in stores.

Not sure if Garden City still has Galvatron but decided to test my click and collect luck with the 2 for 1.5 deal that's about to end. Have the other 2 Leaders so will return those.

Popped into that Myer at Garden City this afternoon... found 7 Ultra Magnus, but no Galvatrons (these would have been 1 to 1 in the shipping cartons).

So you're saying there's a good chance I got 2 Ultra Magnus? Ah well, I'll just return them when I go on Thursday as someone kindly got me Ultra Magnus from Big W sale already.

Probably not, as this was after you had posted about placing your order, so yours should have already been taken off the shelf and put away for collection... and if they did, I would think that if the staff member saw a different one in there, they would give you two different ones.
Fingers crossed.

Maybe both are Galvatron! Earlier this year, I ordered three Studio Series 86 deluxes for click and collect. They managed to pick three of Blurr even though there were more than 10 each (30 figures total) of Blurr, Kup and Jazz on the shelf. :confused:

That'd certainly be cool. Question is, what do I do if end up with 2?

If you do get two, hope at least one of them has its shoulders assembled correctly.

I'd buy one off you if you got it with the promo :D

Hopefully, although I don't mind it that much if they are misassembled.

Sure. Will let you know what I get when I go pick them up on Thursday and yes, I did use the promo so they'll be $67.50.

On the chance you do get two Galvatrons, I'll have to skip as I just saw that Amazon US charged me today for the Galvatron I ordered (thought I had more time since they said in stock in August). Hopefully you get at least one though!

All good! Thanks, hopefully.

Myer Robina a full case pack of 6 Ultra Magnuses, and nary a Galvatron in sight.

Toymate Robina Has Studio Series Leader Class Grimlock for $99, for those who missed him at Big W. But its a hell of a price

2 Galvatron and 2 Ultra Magnus at Big W Garden City

Thanks I just grabbed one Galvatron, one still remains @ $95!

Nothing at Carindale Myer yesterday. Almost went to Garden City this morning. But nah, GC never puts out stuff before anyone else...

And the other one is now gone... so fast.

Are the shoulders correctly assembled on the Galvatrons recently sighted at Big W?

Good to know they're available. Thanks.

BigW Garden City this afternoon... still 2 Ultra Magnus, and they now have wave 2 Deluxe Kingdom (which I didn't see there on my last visit).

The one I got from Garden City BigW today didn't have the good shoulders.

A reminder for those wanting to know what to look out for (the top of the shoulders should NOT be level with the corner of the purple chest panel, they should be sitting half a centimetre above)...

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2021/061301.jpg

Okay. Just got the last Galvatron at Carindale Big W. Correct shoulders. 2 x Magnuses left.

No Galvatrons at Myer. Lots of Magnusses and a Beast Megatron.

Went to Myer and new Mr Toys in the CBD. No Galvatrons in sight. Myer even still has ER Grapple and Arcee.

There was one kingdom galvatron (I bought the other) with the correct shoulders at Ipswich big w. It was $95. There was also 3 core class soundwaves.

Toymate Robina 5x Kingdom Galvatron at the front of the store, 3x Galvatron in the Transformers section as well as 4x Leader Grimlock.
I honestly don?t know what to look for with shoulders being assembled/misassembled but the advantage of Toymate is that you can at least inspect before you buy.

I like to look at the little circular protrusion at the far edge of Galvatron's chest (or where the vertical ridge meets the 45 degree angled one just below the circular protrusion - bit easier to see from afar). These molding landmarks should sit level with the bottom half of the rectangular slot on the front of the shoulder. It they are above or at the top of the slot, then it's wrong.

Just picked up Galvatron at BigW Strathpine, just one there so he?s gone now :)

Big W Chermside, 2 Galv good shoulders, 2 UM, 1 Rodimus, 1 SS Grimlock, wave 1 deluxes.

Morayfield Zing has generations select 5x Hub Cap and 5x Greasepit

For anyone who uses the EB Games at Sunnybank Plaza for their pre-orders - they are closing tomorrow, permanently... and the staff were only told on Monday (and they seemed pretty upset today).
If you have any outstanding pre-orders at this store and they haven't been able to contact you, you need to call them up and let them know which other store you want your pre-orders to go to.

And if you have Tricranius on order, you'll need to pick it up by tomorrow... or it will be shipped to a nearby store and wait for you there.

Yes, please do go out during our strictest lockdown yet, that is teetering on the edge of being extended, to pick up your toys when there is an alternative arrangement in place.

Which is why it is noted, that it can be shipped to another store to wait for them...

I certainly didn't go there just to pick up a toy, and didn't suggest that others do it as well.

This EB Games is next to a Coles, and since I was there for groceries (and checked in with the app), it wasn't any additional covid risk going next door with my shopping and having them hand out my single item through their partially closed roller door (they remained open for their click and collect orders, but people weren't able to enter the store or get close to the staff... something that the grocery stores don't/can't do, which makes them a higher risk than this EB Games store).

That's just an awful way to handle things, and shows zero respect for their employees to give such short notice.
I hope that some can be shifted to other stores, but they'll probably be job hunting.

Sympathy and compassion would be the appropriate response here to reading this, and not a snarky dig at the poster.

Thats a shame, and bad for the staff. Hope they can find positions in other stores. Sunnybank Plaza always has shops close, but not really unusual, I was disappointed when Hungry Jacks left the food court :(

That was a sad day for me too... I'd bought a lot of stuff from that HJ, especially when seeing a movie and taking in a bag of cheeseburgers and onion rings.
Just about every western franchise store is now gone from the plaza. The only things left I go there for now are the post office, Coles and kmart.
There are a lot of stores boarded up at the post office end at the moment too.

Kmart website shows Netflix Voyagers back in stock. I hoped this would finally be Sparkless Seeker and Primal wave, I’ve checked two stores this morning and unfortunately it’s just restocks of wave 1 and 2.
Kmart Cannon Hill
2x Optimus Prime
Kmart Victoria Point
1x Megatron
1x Hotlink

Kmart Chermside also has the voyagers in stock, but only Primes and Soundwaves, about four of each
