Heading down to Mandurah to look at Big W and Toyworld.
Also nothing at Rocko Toyworld atm.
Damn scalpers :mad:
I'm starting to think this section should be restricted to members only so no casual observer can see the sightings as we may be giving the scalpers all the info they need.
To be fair, that's how I got started joining this forum (well I wasn't a scalper but I saw like the only reported sighting for Dirge in WA at the time and immediately zoomed off to get it).

I'm so glad that my local Toyworld is too out of the way for scalpers to hit.
That and the guy that owns it has known me since I was about 4 and playing with G2 stuff, so he often sets stuff aside for me if it's going like hotcakes.
Subiaco Toyworld has 4 pegs full of Generations stuff but only if you're willing to pay $32.95 each... That is to say, if you're like me :rolleyes:
After driving out of my way to check their store i wasn't going home empty handed!
so has anyone spotted hftd leaders anywhere in perth???
Wow, you ended up going... :eek:Quote:

Hopefuly animated Rodimus and Masterpiece grimlock make it here soon!
btw anyone in perth gonna order up the alternity toys? i'm hoping to grab starscream, skywarp, and thundercracker.
EDIT: lol forgot to mention what i was hunting for. Gonna hunt for Leader starscream and Generations Thrust.
Rodimus won't be here unless maybe Empire Toys pick some up - TrU Australia hasn't picked any of the Animated exclusives up.
If you're looking for Alternity the usual import places in the city have Megatron and Prime (in various flavours),but I'm yet to see a BB or CJ.
To be fair most Toyworlds haven't dedicated whole pegs to generations stuff, it seems like they just fitted them on top of ROTF pegs where they could. I would say it only takes 1 or 2 collectors to make generations scarce at a particular store.Quote:

yeah they did only a couple though. the megs n ops seem to have double in number lolQuote:

No this was one person going in and cleaning all the new stock out, I don't believe this was a collector, it was at least 2 of everything thats just been released or more.Quote:

I just don't like to think this fair city has scalpers :mad:
I would think that if it was a one off but this has happened in a few stores.
For the seventh time in this thread, I'm so glad that my local Toyworld is reasonably out of the way. I went back two days after the figures were put out and most of them were still there - all the ones down on the flats got cleared out fairly fast.
I realise in saying that that I may draw scalpers attention to it but to be honest if they're that desperate that they're going to drive all the way out here to make marginal profit on a $30 dollar action figure they probably need it more than me.
There are some people that will pay stupid prices for things:rolleyes:

I thought that ROTF Leader Optimus Prime was a very good figure and one of the best TFs I've owned.
I couldn't agree more.Quote:

I also saw a lot of toy hiding, seriously I thought that kind of despicable behaviour was limited to those melbourne collectors :p
Incidentally, no generations at Mirrabooka
Oh did you see me? Haha, I saw a Seaspray there actually hidden behind the Ultra Silverbolt. I had no interest so I didn't touch it as another fan might have wanted it. Did you get that one?Quote:
