I just finished mine at Castle Hill. The VIP night drew a small crowd but nothing like last years sale. So i strolled around enjoying the lack of mayhem and left with a Weaponizer Prime and a bottle of Pepsi Max. I did consider Weaponizer BB, but decided against him. Nothing else appealed to me. Magnus, after careful consideration wasn't worth the $40 they were asking. Others may feel differently, but i just left him on the shelf.Quote:

Incidentally, Target's prices for the Toy Sale started early, before 6pm. They covered all price check points (yeah, classy lying to the customers instead of merely turning them off) and the place was full of catalogue signage anyway, despite disclaimers saying prices start at 6pm (is that even legal? to advertise it in store, then have disclaimers saying those prices aren't correct?). Quietly went to the clothing department and pulled the sign off a scanner slightly to see the prices in the system and if they were turned on yet.
Long story short, bought an Arkham Asylum Breakout Lego set, and returned the one that I bought a fortnight ago. Saving? $50. Also picked up a TMNT Metalhead (Target exclusive) for $12. All at 5:30pm.
Picked me up tonight at the sale a Platinum Edition Ultra Magnus and, since he was half price, a weaponizer Bumblebee. $119 bucks worth of TF for$59 so well happy :)
Just a shame that the deluxe BH toys and the FOC Soundwaves were not on sale or would have walked out with a few more purchases
Although I picked up u Magnus at the reduced price, the weaponizers were still full price :(
Fuuuuu. No Magnus' at the 2 Targets I went to. Can someone in Victoria hook me up? I settled for a Weaponizer Prime, but I still want Magnus.
Update, relief, in panic I searched the web and found out Target's site has them, so click and collect. :D Also, weaponizers are $18 if you want to save another $2, or $4 if you're getting both.
I go Magnus, ultimate prime and another weaponiser prime. I should have a MISB weaponiser prime somewhere in my storage, got it from Target for $32 if not mistaken during their last toy sale. My friend told me that the price change started around 4pm-ish when he was there and scanned Magnus.
Lots of Ultra Magnus(s) at Target Chaddy as of 7pm last night if anyone is looking for them. About 7-8 left... They also had weaponiser Prime and Bumblebee and all the other advertised TF Prime Beast Wars TF on sale.
I picked two Ultra Magnus(s) up with the LEGO Batman Arkham Asylum and LEGO Friends Camper set plus a few fisher-price toys for my son and niece. :D
Went to Target North Lakes there were heaps of UM and weaponisers
Got a Ultimate PK but just couldnt bring myself to buy the UM or weaponisers just didnt have that wow factor for me to want to buy it
Just wish they had the soundwave on special would have definitely brought that :)
Went to my local target looking for some toys. Couldn't find them, found a staff member though, catalogure in hand "I want some of these please"
"Oh, pretty sure they are all sold out"
Me :(
It was 11am:rolleyes:
What have the stores been like? Busy? Dead quiet? Ive beem told by some stores that they are counting the tumbleweeds
Wednesday night at macquarie at about 6.15 there were maybe around 30 people or so in the toy section, half of them with trolleys. the rest of the store was dead though.
Did you walk around the whole target? The one I went, the TFs were place at 2 different location.Quote:

Oh and not many people around, more staff than customers when I went (although after work). I have NEVER seen that before:p Nice to see the toy staff in costumes. There was a girl in a Thor get up and a dude in a green arrow get up too. They were pretty well done. Thorette had a hammer as well.
Shame when I went to the checkout, one staffy was serving, while the other spent 5 minutes cleaning the bench of her till :-/
Just reading some of the comments across the board and talking to friends, it looks like Target's sale was well below what was expected. I wonder how Big W's looking
Went on Tuesday around 8pm to CBD Target, and it's was dead, they have TF toys at the toy section on level two, heaps of YOTS UM like 10+, and last night when there again around 10pm, still dead and still heaps of YOTS UM...
