The thing is, I'm a very 'uniform' type, and I like my collectibles in a uniform style for neatness. So if anyone is planning on getting HA BB and doesn't want the box, I can give it an much better home than the bin =o) And yes, I know I'm strange =oPQuote:

I have been waiting for the HA's. I might have to hit up a few K-Marts today
And welcome SpeedBreaker
Ingle Farm had a few BB's.Quote:

It doesn't mention how much you have to specifically spend to get this voucher, but I did buy ROTF Voyager Class Stratosphere for $40! WOO!
Now I have seen them stocking the PCC and as mentioned previously the first wave of Generations figures and ROTF activators.
K-Mart Munno Para had heaps of HA Sideswipe and Skids, easily 8-10 of each. One thing I did notice is the packaging is smaller but the new catalogue has them in the old package
which toys r us has the generations in stock? and any other stores if possible?Quote:

For Kaiden, on Thursday, the glorious day after my final exam on Wednesday night I am going on a Toy-Hunt throughout many stores, so if I find generations figures along the way I'll post it on the boards ASAP. Or even better, I can go early in the morning and SMS you a place that has generations toys as soon as I see one, so that you can be able to get them in the afternoon/night (that's if you want to PM me your number :D).
i was there at 3:30!Quote:

btw, are you going to the midnight sale?
Was at the midnight toy sale looking for Generations. The prices scanned at 24.66 and the guy from toys had to come out. He checked his store copy and said the code is different and I told him the catalogue said "TFs Deluxe Figures #Assorted styles" (I had noticed TFA deluxe figures too.) And he said okay $18.66ea it is.
Arndale - none.
TTP - none.
Golden Grove - none. (because i bought what was left there)
Parabanks - 1x WFC Optimus & Bumblebee
Elizabeth - 2x Thrust
Unlucky for me I couldnt find Drift. So if someone could be helpful enough to find one for me and price-match to big w it would be much appreciated.
I bought a second WFC Optimus just in case - so there's an option.
Hi Kaiden, I assume you visited these stores during the midnight sales. I had planned to visit both Arndale and TTP later on today as well :D, I might even head down Marion Big W and check out the Big W there.Quote:

Went to TTP Big W today... not a lot there (except crowds of Mums and their over-sized trolleys blocking the aisle).
They had heaps of the various WFC platforms (all on special), as well as a lot of the new ROTF/AA figures.
You should have seen it just after midnight. it was packed full of trolleys waiting to unload stuff on the laybuy tables. they made a really bad smell and i was glad to be out of there.Quote:

my wfc bumblebee has 2 pistols now. had to return the one i bought from big w because of a faulty screw in the right leg which stopped bb from transforming. forgot to put the pistol back in the pack lol.
No problemos, I got Crankstart today and he had a missing ankle joint axis! >_< but that was easily solved with a good ol' shortened toothpick as a replacement axis :DQuote:

I had intended to go to Marion but that got pushed aside till Saturday, but I did go to West Lakes and their K-Mart has plenty of the Human Alliance figures (Skids, Sideswipe and Bumblebee) and now they stock the HTFD Voyagers, Scouts, Decepticons, Legends and the PCC line. The cheapest PPC toys now that I know of are from Big W!
New deluxes at Marion (Big W, Target & K-Mart):
Battle Blades Bumblebee
Jetblade
Sea Attack Ravage
Ironhide
Also heaps of HA Bumblebee and Skids at the K-Mart there.
Hey folks,
Given that school holidays have started, how long do you think the new HFTD scout toys (huffer and brimstone) and PCC toys (2 packs and 5 packs) will last on the shelves, especially during toy sale time? I actually started collecting toys during September 2009 so I've had no experience with the toy sale time of the year. Will the shelves be mostly empty by the end of the holidays/sale time or will some toys still be there? :confused:
I know that K-Mart has just started stocking HFTD and PCC very recently and Big W has done so to. I guess I should be fine assuming that Target will start stocking these new toys considering they haven't done so yet...
I wouldn't worry, with out a movie or show to help pull sales I'll expect you wont have any trouble finding what you want
When the Generations came out last month? or so, at $30 toyworld, they were all gone when i came back later in the day. I had no regrets about not buying them for that price and the other day my patience paid off with the mid year sale. saved $45? now i can go buy seacons! shishishi
This is more of an anti-sighting really, but since that first flush of Generations toys at BigW last month, I haven't seen them since (except at David Jones).
Even then, I've still not seen Optimus Prime.
Hey Sofaman, if you're really keen to grab a hold of WFC Prime there should be one at TRU Tea Tree Plaza for $25. Might not be the cheapest, but considering its seemingly rare, it may be worth it! ;)Quote:

That is all.
I'll keep a sharp eye out too, yay, I now have another reason to go shopping! :)Quote:

I counted about 10 Drifts and Thrust and 6-7 WfC Optimus and Bumblebee plus a big stack of the PCC 5 packs and FAB Skids/Mudflap 2 pack.
Saw a PCC Mudslinger 5-pack at KMart West Lakes for $39.
Will wait until these are on sale again, methinks.
Nice to know they are appearing though...Quote:

The endless repaints used to make me cross, but honestly I kind of appreciate the breathing space they give me now, since I don't have to buy them. :)Quote:

Saw PCC 5-pack Mudslinger at West Lakes K-Mart today (18.07.2010) however will save up my money for Avcon!
Saw a couple of the PCC Mudslinger and Double Clutch 5 packs at Kmart Noarlunga for $39.
