North Lakes had one WFC Optimus, but he’s mine now
Check your BigW’s. He’s out early.

Edit: seems they’ve learned their lesson from Rodimus. He’s under embargo and cannot be sold. Managers will not over ride.
3 Legacy Armada Primes on display at the entrance of Big W Brisbane CBD. $179, but the online price is $139 with free postage.
Yeah, I was really, really tempted to buy it anyway when I saw it. But $40 is a big discount, to wait a day. But risk it selling out…. Decisions!!Quote:

Carindale Bigw had about 12 of the Legacy Armada Optimus at the front of the store.
Only surprise for me was seeing wave 2 Smash Changer Rhinox, which I don't think has been seen yet.
Pretty much everything else that is from Hasbro is out elsewhere.
Big W Robina
5x Legacy Evolution Skyquake at the entrance of the store.

It’s a joyous sight to see the displays in a movie year.
Big W Runaway Bay went all out, with a giant Optimus Prime standee at the front of store.Attachment 6710
It looked really cool.
The Garden City BigW store still had some Armada Optimus toys at the front of the store, about 5 of them.
It looks like the info was true, about BigW only having a small amount of stock released for the 2 online days, as this store was showing "no stock" online on Wednesday night, but then had several in-store on Friday.
I checked out some Chermside shops yesterday. Main things of note were Target had the NEST Ratchet and Bonecrusher and Big W had about 5 Armada Optimus and plenty of Scourge/Sludge though very lacking in SS Deluxes. Heapa of ROTB stuff of course. JB Hifi had a lot of the on sale stuff, I did see several SS Hot Rod which was a surprise.
Motormaster for 80$ at Mr Toys Toyworld Rothwell (10+ available)
JB Hifi Australia Fair has Nemesis Leo Prime, Dirge, Axelgrease and Beachcomber. Couldn't find Devcon or Tarantulas though.
JB Hi-Fi Chermside had most of the latest wave out today, so Nemesis Leo, Dirge, Axelgrease, Beachcomber and also Leaser Armada Megatron. No Devcon or Tarantulas and also a lot of SS Hot Rod in case anyone missed him first time around
I bought the only Dirge and one Beachcomber this morning. I left 2x Beachcombers.Quote:

JB Australia Fair also had, this morning, 2x Legacy Evo Core Scarr and a few 07BB AOE Grimlocks.
JB Helensvale has the Buzzworthy Bumblebee Grimlock, Nemesis Leo Prime, Axelgrease and 1x Beachcomber left (I took the second one)
JB Pacific Fair - Legacy Evo 2x Dirge, 2x Nemesis Leo, 3 or 4 each of Beachcomber & Axlegrease, no Scarrs I could see, 1x Armada Megs. A few BB AOE Grimlocks. Lots of other recent figures too: Origin Jazz, War Dawn packs, Legacy Shrapnel wave, Armada Screamer, Metalhawk...
New Costco Cooma: Lackluster toy collection, and the only Transformer related item was thisAttachment 6717
I don’t follow the line, so no idea if a new item or clearance stock.
Also at Kmart Coomera, I did see this on an endcap display. It’s different to the converting RC Optimus that Big W had, which wasn’t in ROTB packaging. Accompanied by a Bumblebee equivalent.

I couldn't get a photo in store, but the toxitron collection, studio series ironhide/prowl, studio series bb optimus prime and the nemesis were all available at JB HiFi Carindale today
YO!! He’s FINALLY here!! Just snagged SS 102 Prime at JB Chermside! They had the Ironhide/Prowl two pack, The Nemesis and some absolute eyesore G2 fellas that I didn’t pay attention to haha. I have no idea how to post a pic, but I took one. So there’s that. But let’s focus on the fun part! RotB Prime is out now!
Jb hifi on the queen st mall has the entire toxitron collection. I grabbed one of the mirages as those colours look so good to me
JB in Oxley had the Toxitron collection in store yesterday. I didn’t count but they seemed reasonably well-stocked. Only one SS86 Brawn (which I bought), and one of the red Hotshot sets but the box was a bit squished. They didn’t have SS86 Snarl so I went to Garden City JB and they had nothing new on the shelves yet.
JB at North Lakes had one SS86 Snarl, I bought that so now it has none
The JB at Garden City finally got in their August items, including the Gen2 redecos (all 8 still available), the first four 1986 movie reissues, the Prowl/Ironhide 2-pack, and the Shattered Glass Grimlock.
Fortunately I was there today before any of them had sold out, as ten of those items were ones I had on pre-order, but weren't held for me to collect.
So I had to get those 10 toys off the shelf (the Gen2 redecos, the SG Grimlock and the Prowl/Ironhide pack), and take them to the counter, at which time they found out that 4 other items were actually on hold for me out the back (which I also didn't get notified for)... and then a 15th item was sitting in a bucket of mixed stock behind the counter, which I was able to claim as another pre-ordered item that hadn't been set aside for me.
And that wasn't the only problem... I was at the counter from 2.40pm to 3.40pm, not only to track down the 15 items physically, but also to find them in the system across 5 different orders, with some being fully paid, some being just a deposit, and some having no deposit. And for a while, the system was over-charging the total amount by $17, and the staff couldn't figure out why... so had to cancel 3 of the items, credit them and re-order them.
Which all took an hour to do, partly because the staff member processing my order, had to keep asking for help from other staff to figure things out.
(it was also annoying that so much had been pushed back from the last 3-4 weeks, that it all ended up hitting at once, costing over $900, instead of being spread out over each week in smaller amounts)
Anyways, the other 5 items I picked up that must also be in that store somewhere, but I didn't see them with the rest of the toys - the Hotshot/Jolt pack, the Core 2-pack with Optimus & Bumblebee, SS86 Brawn and SS-102 ROTB Optimus in Buzzworthy packaging.
JB Hi Fi Cairns have various Transformers on clearance, including Shattered Glass Soundwave for $50.
Edit: Should probably mention that it's JB Hi Fi Cairns Central.
On Friday (SEPT 1st) the JB at Garden City actually had out the first six 1986 Movie reissues. This store is always so slow to receive new stuff, I did not expect to find Perceptor and Kickback, as their release was only just being found that week in other stores.
But true to form, my pre-order for Kickback was not flagged, so I had to grab one from the shelf and take it to the counter.
Kmart Garden City had the new ROTB Beast Mode Bumblebee toy, as did BigW (who only had Beast Mode Optimus for their June sale, but now have both in-stock).
Other than that, Kmart, BigW and Target had nothing new for Earthspark, ROTB, Legacy or Studio Series.
(I didn't bother checking Myer.)
JBHifi Harbourtown on the GC also had all six items. I was thrilled to be able to pick up Kickback, and even more delighted when I opened him up to find SIX energon cubes rather than the single one shown on the box. The colours were awesome, and I’m very happy to have a minty fresh insecticon. Can’t wait for Shrapnel to add to the army.
TOYMATE Robina has still all retro Headmasters for 25$ and Power of the Primes Voyager Hun-Gurrr for 38$
Had a chance to whip around Chermside today. Zing had some wave 4 stuff, Big W had 2 Studio Series Sludge on special for $51.
In terms of big ticket things, Toyworld had Studio Series Ultra Magnus, but also some Legacy Menasor and Kingdom Rodimus for $80.
JB has fully stocked with the most recent stuff, including the Menasor gift pack, SG Rodimus/Sideswipe, VNR Optimus, deluxe and voyager Legacy Evo wave 4 and SS Ultra Magnus.
JB HIFI Bundall had all the new evolution wave. But no 86 Ultra Magnus.
JB HIFI Harbour Town had all the new evolution wave, 86 Ultra Magnus, Menasor gift set, and Volvo prime.
