Swoop from VIC has found these at a local Target (Legion and Commander).
As Griffin said these are tad expensive as it should be $25. I guess the question is, do you buy now or roll the dice and hang out for a cheaper price.
Now for all you Brisbanites, can you guys do a search for these.
I will go to Target Springwood tonight to have a sticky. Can you guys have a look in town and other shops. Thanks

Kmart Garden City restocked with two cases of Generations Wave 8
As at 1:30pm this afternoon the following Generations were at KMart Garden City:
6x Thundercracker
7x Wheeljack
2x Kup
3x Scourge
4x Warpath
HA skids is at big w carindale for $28
Is this a DOTM figure? Or the ROTF version?
it is the dotm skids
Rang Springwood Target, they said that the Legion/Commander set of Ironhide (blue) and Leadfoot & and Megatron and Bumblebee have sold out. He reckons they had some and sold out.
For the foreseeable future they expect to get nothing, but will be some restocks for the toy sale.
Hopefully they will be better priced than $30.
Is this a Target exclusive? I cant seem to find these on MOVIE Toys list unless I am Mr Magoo!
Hey Mr. Magoo, just found my glasses: :cool:Quote:

Sighted DOTM HA Bumblebee x3 and HA Skids x1 at Garden City Big W today.
Hi guys, I'm gonna be up in Brisbane for a few days (30th June-ish) and around the CBD area - any good stores I can visit for TFs?
Can you stick around? We're having a meet on the 2nd! (probably)Quote:

CBD stores:
Queen Street Mall
Toyworld - usual stuff, sometimes cheaper, bigger, has tf busts and overpriced (non tf) model kits.
Ace Comics and Games - Comics! But usually no toys. There's a record shop (egg records?) under it that sometimes has some old TFs in one of their display cases. This is right at the top of a staircase above a money exchange
There's also a JayJays.
McArthur Square Big W (at the CW Bank end)
Just note the woolies underneath doesn't seem to stock toys if you're looking for PCCs
Myer Centre
Target - Had a big DOTM display last time, does have liscenced tees too.
Myer - Yep.
Toyworld - Smaller, less TFs. It has a gamesworld opposite.
Elizabeth Street (next to Queen Street Mall)
Comics Etc - Comic Shop. they've had busts and mighty muggs in the past
Daily Planet - Comic Shop. Only seem to have anime toys.
Apparently there's a sneaker culture store that has been known to sell encore stuff. I don't actually know were it is though, anyone else?
Apparently there's a sneaker culture store...
It is on Adelaide Street up near JBHiFi. The shop is on the first floor so from the footpath you just see some nicely painted stairs heading up. It is appropriately called Laced.
the sneaker shop is called laced
Kmart Sunnybank is gearing up for the Toy Sale with clearing a dedicated space.
On items of interest is the Deluxe Sideswipe for $23.75 and the Deluxe/Voyager Kmart Exclusive of Commetor and Optimus Prime for $29.
Apart from that, same old sh*t at this store.
Target at Capalaba had about 4 boxes of Classics Optimus Prime (usual red truck) vs Classics Megatron (Green tank) (Deluxe sized) in their stock trolleys.
Very strange that they have those I gotta say.
K-Mart Caloundra has a few each of Warpath, Thundercracker and Wheeljack, and one Kup.
Kmart Garden City:
- Ark
- Optimus with Comettor $29
Big W:
- Deluxe Optimus $20
- Wave 3 Deluxes $24
- Wave 2 Voyagers $48
- Wave 2 Cyberverse Commanders $15
- Leader Ironhide $88
Kmart Helensvale has a few Warpath left on the hooks, 3x Wheeljack, and
I noticed a full set of all figures had been placed on the shelf BEHIND where the Generations toys are, at the very bottom. Maybe someone hiding it for the sale?
Also, Prime with Commetor for $29, but at the FRONT of the store, near the Cars stock alonside Leader Ironhide.
Target Helensvale has Lazerbeak and Thundercrack's wave, but not sale prices yet. Cheaper to get them from BigW in the sale, but if you need them *now*, they're in stock.
Kmart Sunnybank today (Saturday).
Ark sets (near entrance of store)
Optimus & Comettor sets
Wave 2 Action sets (Optimus & Megatron)
Speed Stars Minichanger 2-packs $8 each
Nothing else new... no Rally Deco Deluxes yet either.
A new toy store opened in Sunnybank Plaza this month. It has a few DOTM toys. It has some other items of interest, such as some Lego imitation toys, made in China I guess, with military vehicles, tanks and helicopters. Also with a few others like pirates and city.
Name : My Toys (??)
Where : Sunnybank Plaza
What :
DOTM mechtech deluxes $29.99 (wave 1)
Voyagers $49.99 (wave 1)
Cyberverse sets $37.99 (wave 1)
there are a couple of RTS Legends for $9.99
Went to Chermside today. Things of note were:
Myer had Jetwing Optimus Prime for $169
Target had the Legion/Commander playsets of blue Ironhide (Commander) and Leadfoot (red Wrecker with Target) and Bumblee (Legion) and Megatron (Commander) for $29

Has anybody spotted the Jetwing Optimus Prime Pack in QLD at Big-W?
Jetwing Optimus at Garden City Big W for $149 (in the clothing section on the far right of store), about 11 left now.
New DOTM Speed Stars at Garden City TRU and Kmart Sunnybank
Kmart Sunnybank also had the Sideswipe and Bumblebee exclusive deluxes for the sale
The New DotM Speed Stars Minivehicles were $5 each and included:
Transcan Series (translucent) - Bumblebee, Mirage (Does that mean I'm the first to own a DotM Mirage toy here?), Crumplezone.
Stealth Force Series (weapons) - Optimus Prime (this one is really heavy), Bumblebee, Autobot Topspin.
Beast Machines Series (animal paint apps) - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee.
Night Attack Series (mostly black) - Optimus Prime, Crumplezone, Bumblebee.
These weren't detailed at BotCon this year, and I haven't seen them on foreign fansites yet, so I don't even know if this is the entire first wave (it was 11 different figures, which sounds like an odd number).
Back of packaging lists 2 more Stealth Force Vehicles (Leadfoot & Roadbuster) and 1 more Beast Machines Vehicle (Lockdown), which may have already been bought, or are released in wave 2 with other themed series vehicles.
Not sure why we now have 3 Crumplezone Speedstars cars now - it's almost as if it were originally meant to be a character in TF3.
TRU Garden City had their Scanning deluxes (Ironhide and Sideswipe) for $18.99
Note that Kmart doesn't have Sentinel Prime for $65 during the sale, it's only for Bumblebee and Ironhide.
Target had around ten copies of The Vault ($29) and ten copies of the DOTM Tin set for $39:

Whats the DOTM Tin Set?
Its a collection of all the 4, 5, and 6 dollar activity books/sticker books/poster, etc.Quote:

It's in their catalogue (in the Target sale topic), and looks to have kids stuff like activity books and things.
The tin is nice, but I don't want the stuff inside (or spend $39 on just the tin).
Big W at Garden City has heaps of Sentinel Primes for $63Quote:

WARNING, ALL OTHER DELUXES ARE FULL PRICE!
TRU just sent out an online flyer, check out their Voyager prices

Kmart Garden City have the Rally Deco Duo in stock, but didn't have them put out because the pegs were already full of (regular) Deluxes - they didn't know they were different.
The old lady staff member I spoke to was either really tired, or just rude... I tried being really nice, because I know to her I was just a grown up looking for kids toys for myself. And she just didn't believe me when I told her that they didn't have them in either of the two sections they had TFs. If only I had a verified ID card to show that I know what I'm talking about when it comes to TFs... :p
oh, how i wish that was a thing and i had one!Quote:

Big w robin is almost cleared out of wave (3?) deluxe figures, got the last thunder cracker and laser beak, but is choc full of wave 1 deluxe figures. The 19 price point makes them cheaper and so I guess the later wave figures are more popular? The ark play set IS in stock, but not in transformers section - keep walking around, it's near pink zhu zhu pets on an end display of it's own
Ah. Not sure I would pay that much for that either. I would only want the tin :pQuote:

Has anyone found any Kre-O yet?
Not expected until September here.
Interesting find in Bigw today, a reissue of Optimash Prime for under twenty, and it had a 2011 copyright. Strangely without the dark of the moon logo though
