I finally remembered to go to the Port Adelaide markets today in search of the mini Devastator. It turns out that the figure in question has been sold out and they won't be getting anymore in. Looks like I miss out :(

Kmart Firle had heaps of new figs today... the next wave of ROTF Legends, including Jolt & Arcee (which I bought), and Deluxe Ratchet & Brawn.
Finally- something new! I reccon its the same wave of legends as Robsy's post. My missus managed to get Arcee and Jolt. Stealth BB and Power Armour Prime were there apparently too. No deluxes though:(
Today I went to Target on corner of Pulteney St and Rundle St - I saw 1 Voyager ROTF Fallen and 1 Voyager Optimus Prime, 1 x ROTF Leader Prime, many ROTF Leader Jetfires, a few ROTF Deluxe Sideways & Autobot Wheelie boxets and a few NEST ROTF Deluxe Battle Bumblebee and Blue Soundwave boxset.
The new Toyworld in the Myer Centre had expensive MP Skywarps and 1 Deluxe Jolt and a few super expensive 25th Hasbro Anniversary Prime boxes.
Toys R Us on Rundle had some new Animal-like Universe Transformer (forgot it's name but it had wing features), a few Universe boxsets with Springer and someone else who I also forgot but other than that not much from the ROTF line.
Im actually surprised they had anything :p usually they have absolutely nothingQuote:

Hi everyone,
Today i checked out Target on Main North Road (Sefton Park), Toys R Us on Gepps Cross and Big W Arndale.
Target, like the Rundle St/Pulteney St Target has the 2-Deluxe ROTF Fig Boxsets with Battle Bumblebee/Soundwave and Wheelie/Sideways. No other ROTF deluxe/voyager/leader class figures but plenty of scout figures including 1 nightbeat. Also now they're stocking these new ROTF Digital USB Cameras at like $60 each.
At TRU Gepps X there are plenty of Universe Ultra Class toys and double-voyager packs at $100! (SO EXPENSIVE :( ) and even some ROTF Voyager figs; (Stratosphere and Mixmaster). Not many deluxe figs but from what I saw there were Rampage, Bumblebee and Autobot Gears.
Finally, at Big W Arndale, there are plenty of Deluxe Animated Figures and some new Scout Class ROTF figures including Scattershot and Skystalker. I also saw some old wave Deluxe figures like Rampage and Breakaway.
Kmart Noarlunga had a few deluxe Arcees, Tuner Mudflaps and a heap of Swerve.
They have also just put up quite a few Scattorshots and Skystalkers.
Noarlunga TRU had a few Universe Bruticus (redecoed Cybertron Scourge) and a lot of Darkwind and Countdown plus a few RotF Bumblebee/Soundwave two packs.
Big W Noarlunga Had plenty of Scouts, Mainly Scattorshot, Skystalker and Brakedown.
They also had a few legend Jolts and 5 or 6 Battle for the Cyber Planet Keys five packs.
Noarlunga Big W has just stocked Shadow Commander Megatron plus Legends Arcee, Soundwave, Bluesteel Sideswipe, Stealth Bumblebee and Power Armor Optimus Prime
Kilkenny Big W has the exact same stock too. Has anyone seen many voyagers around anymore?Quote:

I hope they restock more voyagers, I want Mixmaster, Demolishor and Long Haul. Though as I said there are Mixmasters left at the TRU on Gepps X. So it's just Demolishor and Long Haul left on my list. Also, what do you think I should get? Leader Class Movie Megatron or ROTF Voyager Mixmaster?
I'd go mixxy, but I really don't care for movie cyb alts (or in general really)
ROTF Skystalker and stax of Legends Soundwave at K-mart Colonades. Big W at Colonades had a few Deluxe Brawns and Deluxe Ratchet too. I was very excited to have finally found Brawn!
I haven't really been looking much lately due to such a lull in quality TF releases at the moment but I did notice something interesting today.
Rotf Scout class ransack repaint, with the red paint aka. red baron theme at Big W Elizabeth.
I don't think I have seen him anywhere else and its definitely a quality re-paint.
Saw a few RotF Voyager Mindwipe and Defender Optimus Prime at Noarlunga Kmart.
I belive I also saw a few Scout repaints. Divebomb (Red Baron Ransack) and Wideload (white\grey Rollbar)
Kmart Noarlunga now have stocked the latest RotF deluxe wave i.e. Lockdown, Brawn and Ratchet plus a few of the Depth charge repaint Sonar.
Hey BigPenneyQuote:

Thanks heaps.

TRU Tea Tree Plaza is filled with HEAPS of recon ravages, I don't need it cos I already have the original Ravage. They are also new box upright variants of ROTF Voyager Prime, with him in robot form and standing.
Kmart Noarlunga still has a heap of the new NEST deluxes i.e. Lockdown, Brawn, Ratchet and Strike Mission Sideswipe plus I saw a couple of Swerve (Red Sideswipe) and Tuner Mudflap.
Noarlunga Big W had nothing new however they have put out some more of the last wave of animated deluxes i.e. Blazing Lockdown, Swindle and Blur.
I ended up getting Mixmaster. Good choice, it's a complicated figure to transform but the effort is well worth it, meaning money well spent. I'll still get the movie leader Megatron but that's when I get paid again.Quote:

Went to Galaxy toys yesterday- they had changed everything around. So once i found everything i was surprised just how much they had, and some of it was REALLY nice! But unfortunately the same deal applies-
Just too pricey.
one of his new partners had a whole stack of Transformers in there but has since taken them out and they made the other stuff look cheap!! i.e. there was a powermaster prime for $200 and a complete Scattershot for $140:eek:Quote:

Well on Sunday I went down to the Fisherman's Wharf Markets and I found a vendor that had plenty of G1 figures, both originals and encores. He had G1 Primes for $175 complete, $275 G1 Devvy, $450 ORIGINAL SKYFIRE!!! :eek: and plenty of other G1 figures.
But if you are a regular you are bound to be offered good discounts.Quote:

Has anyone seen one around their areas?
Thanks heaps if you can help,
Skywarp.
PS. I'm just a couple of Transformers away from owning every single one that has appeared in the live-action movies (apart from those that have not had a toy made of them yet like ROTF Elita-One).
I remember seeing long haul at Golden grove Big W, but that was a while ago
Thanks heaps Gutsman_Heavy, I'll have a look into it. Any particular figures you're looking out for that I might have potentially seen?
There's nothing out that interests me these days :(
good luck with the Long Haul, I personally want the Yellow Redeco, I loves it!
Nothing much new down my way.
Kmart Noarlunga hasn't restocked anything.
Noarlunga Big W have put out the RotF Voyager Mindwipes and Defender Optimus Primes plus more of animated deluxes i.e. Blazing Lockdown, Swindle, Blur and even Bumblebee.
Went and checked out the Target sale at Hollywood Plaza, hoping they'd have Mindwipe there, but no dice. Anyone had any luck with the newer Voyagers at Target?
There a few Mindwipes at Port Adelaide KMart for $49, I was just there today around 3:30PM. Mindwipes and Defender Optimus Prime.Quote:

Also, I saw a two-pack Legends of the Autobot Twins for about $13 at Target CBD. Only one left. And there are plenty of Leader Jetfires and at least 1 Leader Optimus Prime. The NEST line Battle BUmblebee and Soundwave two-packs are priced at $40, was tempeted to get it but figured I better save my money because I already have those characters but in different molds.
And the rumours about Target reducing the price of Universe Optimus Prime and Crumplezone boxsets to a $50 doesn't seem to apply to this Target or the Target on Main North Road.
If anyone is looking for ROTF Voyager Starscream, there are about 3 left at Big W Arndale.
Today I also visited TRU Gepps Cross. There are still the old wave Deluxes (up to Gears, but no Thrust), and the prices of Universe Ultras have been reduced. Decepticon Bruticus is only about $30 (FOR AN ULTRA!), while others like Darkwing and Countdown (Countdown was in the summer toys section for some reason) are $50 as opposed to $70. There are still some Shanghai Showdown sets left. Also, Animated Leaders like Black Megatron, Bulkhead (green truck?), and Megatron are ONLY $40.
I bid you luck in getting Mindwipe Sofaman!!!!
Yeah if I can't find a Long Haul at all I might as well just get Payload (Yellow Redeco) which is said to be hitting our shelves midyear, which is around when a Toy Fair i read in other threads is on in Adelaide. So maybe I might run into Long Haul there as well, oh the possibilities! :eek:Quote:
