Reminds me of a certain hotwheels multi pack with some kombi like vehicle, someone in all the western suburb stores (ALL stores) that stocked them ALWAYS ripped out that kombi-thing.Quote:

It's weird. A couple weekends ago at Target (in Highpoint) I saw a headless Agent Venom and Vulture. Didn't think much of it at first. Just thought it might have been the doing of some crazy douchebag who thought it'd be funny (it's not, it's gonna be impossible for the store to sell the toy in that state). Last week at Big W I saw another decapitated Vulture.Quote:

Yeah, it's like stumbling on a murder scene.. A serial-action-figure-killer..Quote:

Right now TRU is virtually running on empty. Most of the store has been sealed off.
Day trip to Bendigo. BigW has POTP wave 2 deluxes; no voyagers though. Picked up Slag, Swoop, Triggerhappy, Slugslinger, Twinferno. 8 bucks for TR deluxes! :)
You mean Sludge and Snarl is out in Big W?
That's a negative techx. A typo on my part. Should be POTP wave 1 sorry.Quote:

Of POTP prime masters, I spotted 4x Quintus Prime, 4x Solus Prime and 3x Megatronus at K-mart Dandenong.
Toyworld Chadstone had 3x Leader Skyshadows, 1x Leader DragonStorm on clearance for $40/each as of yesterday (7/Aug).
Went to Eastland, Big W has a few Studio Series stuff but totally cleared on PoTP and the Titan Returns items. Was hoping to score a few Gnaws but no luck. Tried Knox Target and Kmart, still no luck. Box Hill Big W is barren as well. Anyone wants Voltron 84 series lions, there's 1 set of the "Limb" lions, can't find the Black Lion but there was the New Voltron series Black Lion.
Anyone managed to to score the $5 Gnaws and willing to sell, let me know. Thank you.
BigW Sunshine has plenty of voyager Blitzwing & Octone (Octane). $15 each (20% off does not apply).
The Reject Shop has:
+ Rescue Bots Flip Racer Launcher sets. $8
+ Rescue Bots Mini. $5
At Kmart Footscray I was pleasantly surprised to see at least one of each from Legends waves 1-3. $15 each. It's not often I get to see the complete cast on the pegs/shelf.
Wave 1 - Beachcomber, Dinobot Slash, Windcharger & Skrapnel
Wave 2 - Tailgate, Battleslash & Roadtrap
Wave 3 - Outback & Cindersaur
EDIT: Went to Queen Vic Market. Not a single legit TF toy in sight. All KO's. :(
Its the vic market lol, but any...g1 combiner ko's hanging around, could use the spare parts to repair some of mineQuote:

Not a single one, no tags either. Target also only had 2 or 3 POTP deluxes left, so hopefully they restock with w2 figures.Quote:

As for TF Cyberverse, they had the legion class 'wing slice' Starscream and a Grimlock. There were also a few 'Matrix megashoot' OP and Megatrons of the same size class.
They did have the teeny weeny TF things for a while. Don’t know what the deal is.Quote:

Sporadic reports of POTP deluxe wave 2 showing up at other Big W through Australia. Hopefully see them in Melbourne soon
Interesting development, looks like toyworld central has acquired the old toys r us store section in werribee plaza (even the old staff, looks like no one lost their job), their stock is essentially what other toyworlds have but REALLY OVERLOADED, tf wise they got the TLK dragonstorm leaders TR skyshadow HEAPS of tlk leaders and cyberverse wave 1 POTP legends wave 3 POTP prime masters and the location of things is the same as when it was TRU...
But no POTP deluxes, I'm worried, speaking of worried the old toy world central store is still open and no signs of closing, why have both I don't understand :S
@galvatran your buddy, the prime statue is STILL, looks like he belongs to toyworld now LOL
Waverley Garden Big W pretty much bare of TF expect for a few Dreadwing PoTP and RID Wingblade, PoTP Masters wave 1 and some Voltrons lions.
Target was good, I managed to get Titan Masters SkyTread, Repugnus and Shuffler. Only 1 Skytread and Brawn left. Plus wave 1 PoTP deluxe and Cyber erase stuff.
Which Lions? Legendary or Classic?Quote:

There was only 1 Yellow Classics Lion, 3 New Voltron Black Lions, and the smaller deluxe size combiner lions (didn't check which colours)Quote:

Hey leave my 'hood alone. :p Was there today by the way.Quote:

Big W Sunbury had POTP wave 2 Deluxes in. Sadly there’s only a Blackwing left there now. $29 each hopefully they’ll be showing up at more Big Ws now
Target Sunbury has Studio Series wave 2 Voyagers (Brawl and Megatron) POTP Wave 3 Voyager Inferno and every size class of Cyberverse
Prices as follows
Scout:$24!!! :O
1 Step: $19
Warrior: $29
Ultra: $39
Ultimate: $59
Would have been good had they showed up during the sale & not soon after. Wonder if it's limited stock again.Quote:

Yes, one looks like junk and the other has a TLK look and both are in the one store. The question is "Are there more of these TLK ones around or is this all that TRU had?"Quote:

Is that a first sighting for a BigW store?Quote:
