Toyworld Midland were restocking animated deluxes. I didn't really get a view of what exactly was on offer but I think it would be in the same vein as what target & kmart have been restocking lately.
morley toys r us also have a clearance sale on that ends Jan 31. the sale includes some transformers items, of which i can remember only bumperbots.
also marvel legends 2-packs for $11 each... which is the first time i have ever seen them there!
Saw the new wave SWTFs and one lone Legends 2-pack (bought it) at Target CBD. Also saw a single Tuner Mudflap at Kmart Belmont (didn't buy it). And to add to what Snaketales posted, TRU at Morley had heaps of Animated and Movie toys, just nothing too new.
The Animated we saw at TRU Morley included Samurai Prowl and Waspinator. We also saw the new ROTF Scout wave (the one with Brakedown) at Big W Belmont and Kmart Morley. Empire Toys' basement had TakaraTomy ROTF EZ Collection vol. 2, but Optimus Prime was sold out. :/
Target Carousel was quite full tonight. of note
3 x TFA leader magnus $19xx
3 x TFA leader megs $19xx
2 x ROTF deluxe jolt $29xx
2 x ROTF deluxe deadend $29xx
1 x bumble vs soundwave nest $50xx
TFA voyages $49xx
Kmart Caro was re stocking pinkimus prime
:(Shudder I watched ROTF again on Sunday and realised I now have to buy Jolt as he was in the film:rolleyes:
Not to worry Bumbles, after Kyle said he had picked one up for me I went and did a rummage through my room nd found out I have actually got one:o so I don't need him. Thanks anyway:). I really need to start on my TF room again:o
Okay, first time post, here's everything I remember off the top of my head regarding shops I've visited in the last few months.
Empire Toys
Hay St
They've got the Japanese versions (I think the only real difference is the sticker on the box I think) of the wave 1 and 2 RotF voyagers, and wave 1 and 2 of the deluxes (although I think all they've got left at the moment are a bunch of Skids and Breakaways.
They've also got G1 reissues of Jazz, Skids, and Ratchet kicking about, and the recent Arcee Binaltech release. I think they've also got a Laser Ultra Magnus kicking about that I keep eyeing every time I'm in there. As for masterpices, they've got MP03 Prime, and Grimlock.
They're a bit pricey and I wouldn't recomend you get any RotF toys from there, but the others are quite interesting.
Toys R Us Cannington
2 or 3 Animated deluxes. No RotF deluxes. Actually they've mostly only got RP stuff and Activators, although they have some Universe and RotF Voyagers.
ToyWorld Kalamunda
Wave 4 (? I think, it was the wave with Dead End and Desert Brawl) RotF Deluxes, and the leaders.
He's been taken care of :p
Oh I should mention that Empire has a few HA BBs in stock for $65 AUD. I've yet to see them anywhere else, but then I haven't been looking that hard.
Also if anyone is interested in picking up Animated voyagers and leaders, Target at Carousel is well stocked, right the way back to wave one (I saw a few Starscreams in there). Didn't see any deluxes though.
I take it Electrostatic Soundwave and his wave-mates haven't turned up yet? I think he was out early December in the states.
Lads,
Did the run around today looking for Mindwipe but only found the following:
Toyworld Success
2 x Dx Wheelies
3 x Vgr Demolishers
1 x Ldr Bulkhead @ the bargain price of $74.99 :P
2 x Vgr Lugnuts @ $44.99
Toyworld Freo
Only FABs and a few scouts such as Reverb, Ransack, Dirtboss and Scalpel
Kmart Kardinya
Plenty of older stock, Dx Bumblebee (Preview), Sideswipe, Skids, Icecream Twins, Jolt, Ravage, Desert Brawl and Dead End.
Bumblebee voice changers at $45.00 (still not cheap enough to buy IMO)

Yeah I'd like the NEST waves to hit properly. I think I've got one of two Dirge's that have been sighted at shops in WA, and I'm keen for Brawn, Lockdown, etc to hit.
Also whats the ETA on Animated Rodimus (general and WA specific?)
Still unsure of if and when we'll get them, but several months ago when asked, Hasbro AU were aiming to have them released here early this year.
innaloo has arcee deadend balzemaster shadow scorpy

Also for all of you waiting for the new ROTF scouts, deluxe and voyagers, Big W's warehouse in SA has received the new shipment in. The Eastern states have started getting the new scouts ans deluxes already. Should start hitting stores in the west next week...hopefully (if there is no train derailments)
Went to Toyworld Midland last night. It was pretty decimated (Only Cyber Slammers, Activators and Robot Heroes left really)
I have to go birthday shopping tonight apparently... has anyone seen the NEST wave that has Brawn, Lockdown, Ratchet and SM Sideswipe anywhere? (I know its just recently been sighted in NSW, I don't know if there's generally any delay before it comes to WA)
I don't know of any retail locations but Paul at Figuresdirect have Brawn and Lockdown listed if you are happy to pay a little more than conventional retail.
Where is this figuresdirect? Google maps tells me it's out near Kelmscott but that's under a different name...
Went to Cannington TRU today. Still nothing new for RotF, but there are a tonne of RPMs. And I admit with a mixture of shame and amusement that after literally TWO WHOLE YEARS of going to TRU Cannington and seeing the same lonely TF07 Mudflap (yellow crane), I finally caved and bought it today.

They sell at the Nexus Collectors Fair in Vic Park every 3 months as well.
Are you able to buy off them in person as opposed to the net? Because figuresdirect gives me this:
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=fig...N&hl=en&tab=wl
which has the same number listed. I only ask because if you can get them in person I'll go tomorrow or Monday, but if you have to go online then I'll either way for general retail or go for taht case on BBTS.
I believe that could his home address, which is not listed on his website. I remember many months ago he told me at Nexus that he worked in Perth and I could pre-arrange a pick up there by phone call. Fellow board member SentinelPrime knows him better and had picked up from his place before.
Just realised he lives quite close to me.
Yeah I had a good chat with Paul not so long ago when I got some stuff off him, generally he prefers to meet somewhere usually a shopping centre. But he is reliable and easy to deal with if you place an order with him you usually have the stuff in your hands within 24 hours.
