That sucks... cause there is a limit of one per customer

Had to go Garden City for my bus connection to Sunnybank and decided to check out Big W anyway. They had 19, now 18 or less. Seems they got the majority. Turns out they still have layby despite what the website says.
Earthrise Prime and Jetfire still elude me though.
I am guessing a good chance of resellers
When i got mine, i got in by the skin of my teeth as this guy was going after all the good transformers lucky i spotted it in time and there was only one left
Yesss, I got the last one, had to take a train then bus to Craigeburn.
Turned up to Bigw 20mins early stood in inline, found everything but skylynx, was given the run around by staff. One guy went out back to check, told me to wait in home entertainment, 10mins later I see him walk around helping other customers, apparently he told someone else to tell me they didn't have em. Got a raincheck, went home made breakfast, got call, they are now in home entertainment. 4 of em, rushed down got mine.
Merrylands had 2 allocated according to the Staff member who checked on her doohickey. Both gone of course
c'est la vie
Went to Eastland. They had 2 but couldn't find them. Assume they were in trolleys between shelf and register.
Doncaster had none by the time I got there.
Lilydale had six as of 9:00am. Wife couldn't go until now and they are sold out.
Ah I was hoping that was the case elsewhere, doesnt sound like it, but there was an alright amount this morning, managed to get one. And hung around for about an hour trying to get other stuff without other people trying to scalp thankfully or being too interested. No leaders though. The single Mixmaster is probably gone by now but I wasnt interested in it and they had plenty of Mv1 Megatrons.
Sadly, but understandably, a lot of retail staff aren't willing to enforce rules with determined consumers. It's not worth standing up for the company at their paygrade - they can't physically stop the customer, as such. With self-service, it's even harder to stop it.
