Thanks for stashing them :D
Skystalker is my new favourite scout :D
He is amazing. I love that they really got into the drone vibe in both modes.
big w belmont today. I stashed lockdown and brawn behind bumblebee helmet on bottom shelf for anyone
Nice timing KaRNiV8L PRiME, just before my lunch break :) The hiding spot now has Lockdown and a Ratchet (tho there was still another Ratchet as well as new Bumblebee and Sideswipe on the shelf)
skystalker scattershot divebomb
rachet lockdown brawn strikerswipe
big w midland - no more skystalkers
Now just awaiting sightings of Mindwipe and Bludgeon...
Dunno if this has been posted yet but Empire have the "complete Japanese G1" DVD set on sale for $100 at the moment.
diirge. did we miss out on him? seems like there was only 4 of him in total
The only place I know that had him was Big W in Cockburn, and I got one of those. If you're looking for him talk to Paul from figuresdirect, he has some in stock and he's local.Quote:

whats figuresdirect email? ask if he has any dirge left
Hey guys, Im heading to Indonesia tomorrow, Keep an eye out for Mindwipe and the new legends for me. They should hit Kmarts early next week.
Cheers
Kmart Kardinya has plenty of Defender OP, Mindwipe and Skystalker.
I picked up a Mindwipe and Skystalker, Mindwipe is cool but the red, purple and mustard is gawdy he is definitely going to require a very minor repaint.
Oh come on, why do the new releases never appear somewhere within half an hours drive... Oh well I need to pop out to get a toy pistol to complete my malcolm Renyolds costume anyway...
I went to Kardinya to pick up a Mindwipe for 1orion2many. There was still one more there when I left, and about 6 Defender Optimus Primes remaining... :eek::o No Skystalker though, but about 4 Scattorshots and a couple of Divebombs left. They also had the latest Legends wave.
Thanks Bumbleb33, a single Mindwipe is now mine - as you said, plenty remain!Quote:

I'm glad I didn't pick one up for you. :p I called your mobile earlier before going to Kardinya to ask if you'd like me to pick one up for you, but didn't get through. When I was there (after 3:30pm) there were only two left. I thought about buying one for you but then remembered you said you might run into trouble with wife. :pQuote:

Kmart Innaloo:
Lots of latest ROTF Voyager wave - Mindwipe & Defender OP
Wave 5 & 6 ROTF scouts also out - saw at least one of each (Brakedown, Wideload, Sonar, Scattershot, Skystalker, Divebomb)!
Also a few early wave ROTF deluxes (Cannonbee, Sideways, Sideswipe, etc).
No Universe though, which was what I was really hoping for...
after another lockdown and scattershot...hasbro fix up!
If anyone is interested in picking up an Alternity Megatron, Nemesis Prime, or Prime, Empire toys has literally about 30 of them.
Hmm last time i went they only had 3 total. Were they in the basement or something? I'm assuming they're still $75 right? If no one buys any, perhaps they'll reduce the price to something reasonable.
No they're still upstairs, they must have received new stock over the last few weeks because there is an obscene amount of them up there. I'm not up on all the different types of Alternities that there are, but I saw blue and black Megatron, Nemesis Prime (I think it was Nemesis Prime anyway), and Some Primes. There'd be, no exaggeration, about 30 - 40 of them there.Quote:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLQuote:

I'm after red convoy aswell so I had a look at their website. I searched under optimus prime, alternity and convoy but no matches came up. I'll email them when I get home and hopefully I'll have better luck then
:DThey do this occassionally llama:p, I picked up all 3 of my BTA figures off them for $60 each and some BT's at the same price but it's normally a long wait for this to happen:DQuote:

Carousel KMart has ROTF Mindwipe, Defense Prime (that blue redeco) and latest scouts
I nabbed a Mindwipe from Innalloo KMart today - they've got plenty of Primes but I didn't see if it was the last Mindwipe or not.
Did some rounds today:
Mirrabooka Kmart has a heap of Defender ops and Mindwips. About 6 of each. No new scouts, just the voyagers
Midland Kmart had Scattershot and Divebomb scouts and Defender Prime and Minwipe again. QUite a few of each as well.
Midland Target has lots of the movie Vs packs, a universe Op v Crumplezone pack, Wave 1 ANimated Voyagers and Grimlock, Megatron activators. Movie scouts, involving Ejector and many early wave fellas.
Midland Big W had some Skystalkers, Breakedwon, scattershot, fab Arcee and some FAB power armour Optimus. Animated deluxes of Swindle, Blaxing Lockdown Bumblebee and the unverse 5 pack. They also had a Voyager ROTF Starscream, packaged in robot mode, which I thought was interesting. Same bio by the looks of things and looked exactly like the first release.
