Still pissed in not seeing Warpath/Swerve and with G1 Prime, I was lucky getting a nice and fresh cableless box.Quote:

The stores nearest me restocked Megatron and Hotlink for the catalogue sale......
Warparth, Gears, and G1 Soundwave have been spotted today...
The hunt for Soundwave and the cassettes begin!

So it begins ...
Just dropped into Chatswood Kmart, still no Netflix OP or Soundwave. Restocked Cyberverse Deluxe.
Thanks for that, really appreciate it :)Quote:

Unsure if its just me but noticed this morning that The actual website has updated to include images of netflix Prime and Soundwave, https://www.kmart.com.au/product/tra...sorted/3069804
Found G1 Soundwave reissue at Kmart Hyperdome (Qld) this morning, $79. No spider tags :)

Given that EB Games has the 2nd Spoiler Box, would it mean Kmart is no longer getting it? Doesn't seem like they are and the lack of UM sales maybe turned them off it.
yes it was updated actually helps a lot can use for price matching.Quote:

Kmart were not expected to have it... and since it wasn't a pre-order at EB, it must have been a last minute acquisition by Hasbro Australia and offered to them, as the Kmart stock is organised months in advance.Quote:

In some stores the Optimus toys could be from a few weeks ago, and not all stores appear to be getting the Cassettes.
For box collectors, the G1 Soundwaves I've found at 2 Kmarts have a large legalese sticker on the back, covering almost all of Buzzsaw's techspec graph. I don't know how easy it is to peel off or whether damage/residue occurs.

That Kmart has security tags on voyagers? how weird.
The stickers aren't hard to remove... the residue is a pain though. I've removed it from my cassette packs tonight. The sticker on the back of the Soundwaves at the store I went to are on the mural, above the bios (covering Prime's face).Quote:

Minor residue was plucked up with the sticker, like blutac. I had given up hope on Gears and Warpath as they were not seen in the first wave in Perth (unlike over East), these G1 cars got bought up quickly here, and this second wave was a bit behind the East and a long time after the first wave.
I'm not hearing of Tailgate and Outback sightings - have these guys made way for Gears and Warpath in wave 2?
As a bonus, I got a spare Autobot sticker (the front one) stuck to Gears's rear wheel courtesy of the factory. Still, $19 for these small toys is pretty expensive.
I think the second assortment is Bumbleee, Swerve, Gears and Warpath. So yes, they have.Quote:
