This is really a 'non sighting' post.
Rang Toyworld at Mt Gravatt and enquiried about the Mechtech Voyagers
They said not on shelf yet - 16 May 2011.
Interesting that other Toyworlds may have had them for sale?
I might ring Springwood/Loganholme.

It certainly can't compare with the fun of seeing new DOTM toys, but I just saw a new endcap display (cardboard) of ROTF activators in Woolworths. With this and PCC combiners, it looks like Woolworths is really supported transformers.
Yep, they've got four TFs lines now. Its just ironic then that the Hasbro TFs website page that lists stockists, has Coles listed but not Woolworths (in addition to the seven chains we automatically think of as toy sources - Kmart, Target, BigW, TRU, Toyworld, Myer, DJs).
Thanks for the heads up Ed, was going to go there today :pQuote:

Plus Wave 2 Legion/Legends (Ratchet, Lightingbolt Bbee, Crowbar, Leadfoot (red one), Mudflap) $8.

Target Mt Ommaney had the new Stealth Force Electronic Bumblebee (same size and gimmick as the Optimus one from TF2) for $49.
Target Mt Ommaney & Indooroopilly, and Toyworld Jindalee had the Cinemasks ($19 Target, $26 Toyworld).
Both those Targets and that Toyworld had Revving Robots Optimus & Bumblebee ($49 Target, $50 Toyworld).
Forgot... Toyworld Indooroopilly had the newest SW Crossover (Thire) for $30.
Wow, Wave 3 already! Did you get them griffin or are you waiting for the trip to Botcon to get them at USA pricing?
Other sightings from today.
Toyworld Redbank, Jindalee and Indooroopilly had a heap of RtS Voyagers (Strafe, Lugnut, Grappel) and Wave 1.5 Deluxes (Perceptor, Optimus, Wreckgar, Jazz, Tracks, Bumblebee), and RtS 2packs for $40 or $50 (I forgot).
Target Mt Ommaney and Indooroopilly had most Wave 1 DotM toys in Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Legends, Revving Robots, Gobots, Activators, Action Sets, and wave 1&2 Commanders. Prices are on the Price Comparison listing.
Mt Ommaney store had Optimus & Bbee kids costumes with DotM header card (same costume, just different 'packaging'.
Indooroopilly store had an endcap display for the Target AUS Movie promotion, which will be posted up in the AUS news section shortly.
Toyworld Jindalee had a single HA Mudflap, DotM Deluxes wave 1&3 (not 2), Voyagers W1&2, Leader w1, Legion W1&2, Commander W1, Revving Robots, Cinemasks, Action Sets.
BigW Mt Ommaney only had the first wave of Action sets.
Kmarts in three locations had nothing out for DotM, and almost no other TFs in store.
Myer Indooroopilly didn't have DotM out yet either, but had a fair few reeeeally old TF2 toys, including Long Haul and 3 Devastators.
Yeah, a painful wait for BotCon... :(Quote:

DOTM officially everywhere on The Coast. Caloundra Kmart got wave 8 generations too - minus 1 x warpath, tc & scourge
Considering the amount of toys in the DotM line you'll be buying, I'd be waiting to pay half price too. :pQuote:

For the Voyagers, did they charge $40 or $50 for them?
They only had the $50 price stickers on them, but if they try to charge that, just show them the catalogue (which they have copies at the door).
(I didn't buy any)
Interesting. see my post on Toyworld Introductory posting thread you created. It appears the left hand isnt talking to the right hand.
griffin and christalcase bin raiding ma stores without a note. Next time you come out west give me a call so i can come say hi ;) Nice haul too!
the Toyworld CBD said they wouldn't release the toys until 16th May - Tomorrow.
Wow. Target Indooroopilly was bare when I was there earlier in the week, as was K-Mart on Thursday night. That's quite a setup.
Sorry dude, I keep forgetting you live out west.Quote:

And he didn't end up buying anything movie related (waiting for sales) or Generations (didn't find the final five). And all I bought was a SWTF Thire/Republic Cruiser from Toyworld Indro, because of the impending trip.
We came back with more photos than toys... :(
Kmarts have been stripped bare in the last week, with almost nothing in some stores, and absolutely nothing in others.Quote:

Sunnybank has been the only one I have seen pre-launch with DotM toys out.
That should change tomorrow though. (and hopefully some Gen toys show up as well at stores holding everything back until the 16th).
Pacific Fair Target (huge range of stock, including powerglide and blackout, plus an awesome self-transforming giant Speed Stars Bumblebee).
TRU featured a large wall display at the front of the stoor, including giant Optimus Standee (not for sale, but good to pose for a photo with).
Robina (Target, Kmart, Big W) no stock today (Sun 15 May).
Mr Toys Toyworld Mt Gravatt had nothing apart from some dumb DOTM TF Activators for $20.
They called up Springwood and held the stuff I needed.
They dont know what happened with their stock?
Spotted 2 x Dinobots, 1 x Steamhammer and 2 x Rallybots Power-Core Combiners for $24.99 at Woolworths.
A heap of W4 & W5 2-pack Power-Core figures for $12.99 at Woolworths as well.
Only 2 x Generations Skullgrin, 1 x Dirge at Kmart, no sign of DOTM merchandise at all.
Emphasis on Dinobot Combiners... ;)
At Woolies of all places.
Any stores in particular, because I've tried three and come up with squat.Quote:

That was fast.
I sent a txt to sleeve about it... but fortunately he said he wasn't going to go there to get the Dinobots (the one he wants).
Kmart Garden City finally got their DOTM stock out, not a huge amount and they've also restocked two cases of the $7 scouts, with two Windchargers left.
If any of you guys can grab me a Windcharger, I'd be very grateful. I can pay by transfer immediately and pickup next meet. Speaking of?
I can pick one up for you tomorrow morning, PM'd youQuote:

Kmarts should have warpaths. I picked up wheeljack and thundercracker from Indro Kmart on the 16th, they were the last ones from that case left though (and didn't scan up either).
I think someone mentioned that Kmart would be stocking more of that wave next month? :/
That said, Mt Ommaney Kmart had nothing but DOTM, one peg per character too :d
Toyworld Hyperdome had the Wave 3 DOTM Deluxes ($27) and Wave 2 DOTM Legions ($8), two Shockwave and two Skyhammer.
Woolworths Garden City, CBD, Logan Central, Hyperdome, Runcorn and Springwood didn't have the Wave 4 PCC 5pks :(
Woolworths Calamvale have 1 Wave 4 PCC Dinobots pack left
My contact on the gold coast tells me Kmart Australia Fair has generations wave 5, warpath, wheeljack etc. :)
Well, I can tell you that Collingwood Park, Goodna, Mt Ommaney and Monier Woolworths do NOT have the Steamhammer or Grimstone PCC 5 packs :mad:
Redbank Target has 2 ROTF scouts :confused:
Redbank, Mt Ommaney Kmart's have DOTM but no Generations last wave :(
So if we tally the score (:mad:, :confused:, :() ...hmm, not too bad! Looks like a pretty standard TF hunt.
Thanks Tinyjazz, I have a K-mart here in Mackay it is packed to the nines with DOTM as is Target, Big W & TRU. not a single new Generations fig amongst them. I called Kmart Australia Fair but they just said that they didn't see any of them and politely told me to buzz off. As usual Mackay gets squat.
Thanks again
Any Brisbanites want my spare Wheeljack? I'm probably coming in to town next weekend and can drop it off either directly or with another brisbanite.
Southport Australia Fair only had Scourge, Thundercracker, and 2x Wheeljack.
I was so hoping for a warpath, but sooner or later all this stock has to be put out by the other kmarts.... right?
