So the windowless packaging strikes again with two SS Core Ravages being easily stolen, leaving only empty boxes, found at Springwood Target. If Hasbro is going to go windowless for small figures, I would rather prefer them to be fully enclosed like the Leader class figures. I am now paranoid that someone might have stolen an accessory (a gun or Eject from Blaster) whenever I buy something and triple check that it's there.

There are heaps of Sludge's at JB Hi Fi Carindale for $75. The price says $99 on the box. But they charged me $75
I spotted a legacy Elita-1 for $30 at JB hifi in the city. The one next to big W
TK Maxx at Chermside has about three Kingdom Tigertrons at $40
New stock at JB Hi Fi MacArthur today:
- Legacy Core Shockwave
- all Legacy wave 2 deluxe and voyagers (Elita, Wildrider, KnockOut, Tarantulas, Jihaxus, Soundwave)
- Transformers x GI Joe Megatron HISS tank
- SS86 Junkheap
The JBHifi store in Garden City still hasn't processed its new Transformers stock (the dozen or so items that had a release date of yesterday on their site)... so it is all still sitting out the back, and they can't tell me exactly what they have other than the Beast Wars Monopoly set. They said that there are a number of new toys as well, but it doesn't mean that they got all of the new items. (especially considering the large amount of stock they have in the store already, which includes about 20 Legacy Deluxe toys from wave 1, and for some reason quite a few Elita-1 toys and nothing else from wave 2).
Also - BE AWARE if you go into that store and want to buy one of the Worlds Collide 4-packs (the one with Fangry in it), one of the packs has Fangry missing its head... and since those 4-packs have honeycomb-shaped holes in the top (as does the new Beasts Collide 4-pack), those sorts of small things can be lost through the top of the box if someone was wanting it - I could touch the Fangry toy by pushing against the plastic window of the box, so it might have been possible to push the head off the top, and then shake it out of the top of the box. Those boxes really shouldn't have holes in the top like that. They can still have that honeycomb effect, but have another layer of card underneath to stop things from being lost that come loose (or are shaken loose).
JB Hi-Fi Pacific Fair Wave 2 Legacy Deluxes - Elita-1, Knock-out, some purple character.
I saw lots of stuff at the city jb hifi. (The one across from the myer center, to be precise. Legacy wave 2 deluxe and voyagers. Megatron gijoe crossover. Bumblebee movie iron hide and arcee
-also the one around the corner has’86 Perceptor
SG Blaster and Rewind at Zing Carindale - $70
I don't think that EB/Zing were supposed to be getting it, which might be why any store that did get one, just put it straight out for sale, instead of waiting for mid-September as they would have had on its pre-order page if they had had one.Quote:

Last week at JBHifi Garden City...
All of the new goodies from end of July were now out - they didn't get the Studio Series toys though (Junkheap, Sideways and Bumblebee).

And yesterday at Kmart Sunnybank... pretty much everything here except Blaster. (this was a photo from a previous visit, but that was the only thing that I noticed was different).

Was at Westfield Carindale today, saw this at JB Hi-Fi
Attachment 6622
Garden City JBHifi has Shattered Glass Ultra Magnus.
Kmart chermside has velocitron stock now, cosmos is gone. Other stores in Brisbane are also getting stock.
JBHifi at Mt Gravatt (not Garden City), has the Collaborative Jurassic Park set and Back To The Future, plus several of the more recent Studio Series Deluxes. I went there for Junkheap, as the website says it was there (and their own inventory system says there were 2), but I couldn't find them, and the staff there couldn't find them. :(
I had it on order at the Garden City store for 3 weeks now, and it still hasn't come in yet, so I might just have to wait for the Amazon release on September 15th.
I’m about 95% sure that Zing at Carindale has 2 or 3 Junkheap’s when I saw SG Blaster there the other day. They might still have a few in stock. From memory they were $58 so not too different to the JB price.Quote:

No Cosmos at either. I got the last at Woodridge.
Velocitron deluxes and voyagers are at Kmart Helensvale now. Picked up Override and Road Rocket.
Yeah, I was at sunnybank at 2.30pm and they had all but cosmos... and then calling up woodridge they had all but cosmos too. :(Quote:

The remaining assortment was untouched.
Pacific Fair Zing Shattered Glass Blaster is in the glass case. Only one, top right shelf.
Enjoy
Today at Sunnybank Kmart - didn't even need to go to the Transformers toy section...
I picked out some, and they still appeared to have several Scourges, and maybe just one of each of the two Voyagers and the 3 (unwanted) Deluxes - the bike, the black van, and the whatever-it-is (Blurr). I didn't buy Scourge because I am hoping that EB honours their $60 price in about 2 weeks time when they release theirs.

Thanks... but I got JBHifi to price-match another retailer ($49) when I made the order 3 weeks ago, so I kinda want to get it at that price if I can, and EB/Zing don't appear to have a price-matching policy.Quote:

Loganholme Kmart has their Velocitron stock, still in cages though... and it looks like their Cosmos is already gone.
Caloundra Kmart had stock when I called this morning, but they were down to 7 out of 8, and Cosmos was indeed confirmed missing. I didn't ask about voyagers/leaders.
Noosa K Hub amazingly got stock next. I called and they still had 8. I reserved Cosmos and just picked him up and a Road Hauler. All the rest of the Deluxes/Voyagers are there (just no more of those two)
Sunshine Plaza is still expecting.
I felt like a toy scalper calling up different Kmart stores asking for just Cosmos, as I'm sure that's what they will be doing. I hope fans get to them first.
It's just really stupid for Hasbro to be short-packing the two figures that would be the most sought after in the Deluxe class, and it doesn't take a genius to know it - for the hardcore fans Cosmos was the only Gen1 homage toy in the Deluxe class case (and of the entire set of 8 toys), with the other four toys being from niche collector eras (Diaclone, Gen2, IDW). Meanwhile for those who aren't hardcore fans, Clampdown would have been the first choice of parents and kids in the store, because it is a sports car, as opposed to two toys that have odd looking vehicle modes (Cosmos and Blurr) and two toys that are still available in a different colour in Legacy packaging (the bike and the van).
All but Cosmos still there...Quote:

The regular toy section.

And an adult's t-shirt (size M to XXL) that I came across while walking through the store...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2022km29.jpg
A message from someone else - all but Cosmos are out at Indooroopilly Kmart. (maybe Clampdown is gone too, as he said that he got all but Cosmos)
Garden City has the Velocitron Scourge and one Road Hauler (I took Override as I was only wanting her and Scourge from this assortment). There were no Deluxes, and since the online stock checker still says it is In Stock (green circle too), I'm guessing they aren't out yet, and there is hope for ONE person to get it (Hasbro is so stupid putting Cosmos one per case...).
My girlfriend grabbed that Cosmos off a stock cage around midday yesterday. I should’ve mentioned it so people could discount it from their search.Quote:

Dropped in at Orion yesterday. Looks like Mr Toys is getting Roadmaster now. $180, but it means the other stores can't be far behind.
Checked Browns Plains Kmart this AM. Only one RID Scourge as far as Velocitron is concerned, which I picked up.
Stopped by Kmart Australia Fair yesterday and they had the Velocitron Legacy in stock too. Unfortunately no sign of Cosmos.
Kmart toowong has two scourges, and one each of blurr and Override. All I want is a Cosmos, though

I dint get a hence to get a pic or check the price, but Ipswich River-link JB hifi had a GI Joe Megatron Hiss Tank figure. They also had two Jurassic Park Cross over sets for $199.
Riverlink Toyworld also had a bunch of Kingdom Tigertron for $35.
Kmart Garden City today - I wasn't intending to go inside, but I was at Garden City for JBHifi and a quick look at the Kmart site it was the only store in the nearest 15 that had a "green" in stock noted for the Velocitron Deluxe range... which suggested that they only recently received them in, but when I got to the store, they only had two left.
But the interesting thing is seeing what this store had done with all of their Velocitron toys (even Deluxes), which wouldn't be good for anyone who wanted mint sealed packaging for display or investment.
They also had that new Transformers T-shirt that I found at the Loganholme store last week.
