Went to a few shops today
TRU at garden city did not have any Rodimus Primes
Kmart garden city did not have any HA exclusive Sideswipe redeco
HOWEVER Kmart Sunnybank had about 10 HA Sideswipe!!! Amazing at this Kmart is always very disappointing
Typical... I've been checking that store out often for those HA Sideswipes, and after seeing them in two other states, they show up at my local Kmart. (at least I have it now)
Headed out to Robina today, Target had some of the Rescue Bots - the human packs and Bumblebees garage. Kmart had a couple of Scourge on the shelf, but otherwise all stores pretty boring.
Kmart The Pines had Scourge as well.
And then headed to Tweed City, Big W had a bunch of Jetwings and Human Alliance as well as Rts Jazz and Tracks, while Kmart also had a bunch of there Human Alliance Swipe packs. Toyworld was the surprise, having a bunch of Rts Grapple and Lugnut for $25, HFTD leader Starscream for $50 as well as 2 MP Skywarps for $100. They did have MP Starscram for $90 but that came home with me.
I've been going to garden city TRU everyday this week except today looking for Rodimus. If they don't I will have to see if Aspley has it during our meet on Saturday at Chermside aka Chernobyl.
If needed I can bring some up from Pacific Fair to the meet but I'd need to know before 2pm ish.
Helensvale Kmart now has the HA Sideswipe and Icepick set
TRU still has nothing.
Hopefully TRU Aspley has Rodimus.
They do. I called this morning to have 1 put aside. He said there were 5-6.
Thanks I will call them too to order 2.Quote:

Any TRU vouchers / scams currently?
Toyworld in the Myer centre has a few Cyberfire Bumblebee. No sign of Specialist Ratchet.
I guess tomorrow at Chermside, we can go hunting for Ultimate Optimus Prime!
Chermside Target has one Ultimate Prime left, while Toyworld has Specialist Ratchet and Cyberfire Bumblebee.
He was at the Toyworld in Chermside, wasn't he?Quote:

As jaydisc has already posted, found Commander class Hatchet and Steel Blade Prime at the Aspley Hypermarkets, much to the annoyance of the fellow forum members who were checking out toys r us. Brought one of each leaving a Prime as Hatchet is only one per case.
Today in our meet as advised earlier, we went to Chermside shopping centre.
The most rare item we saw was a single Ultimate Optimus Prime at Target.
We then went to TRU Aspley and got a few MP Rodimus.
I was bullied/peer pressured to not buy any Angry Bird figurines....
We would never do such things.Quote:

Had to check out Sunnybank Hills hypermarket today for Hatchet. They didn't have ...
Aren't we scouting Brisbane shops Zippo!!!!
Your score at Pick and Pay at Aspley can only be described as extraordinary and lightning doesn't strike twice!!!!!

Of course I grabbed one for myself.
Good luck guys!
Went to Pick n Pay Sunnybank Hills
I bought the sole remaining Commander Steel Blade Prime
Something of note is they still have heaps of Animated Leaders at a bargain basement price of $99.95 :eek:
They also have 1 Grimlock Animated Voyager for $40 :cool:
Thanks for the heads up Cat, I got sick of looking after 4 days straight of nothing there. Picked up one today and there was 9 or 10 left. :)Quote:

One HFD Leader Starscream $88 ( in "clearance" at the back of the toy section)
Two or three HA Sideswipe/Icepick packs
Generations Soundwave x2 Red Alert x1
DJ's
One DOTM Skyhammer $50
One Leader Sentinel
Still 10 MP Rodimus at TRU Garden City today.
They also had the second wave of Activators (Megatron, Topspin) for $18.
Also saw a heap of the Rodimus Vs Cyclonus 'Battle in Space' sets for $40 each.
And that SWTFs Quad-changer.
No WFC 3-packs though.
Toyworld Carindale had those Battle In Space sets for $30 the other week. They also had RTS Voyagers for the same price. FINALLY got a Grapple.Quote:

Oh, and where are the WFC 3-packs being found on the southside? I MUST have one of these, never even knew about them til now!
Give it time for WFC. Aspley will probably get it first Rodimus was so behind.
Kmart Arana Hills has got some more generations in stock "warpath, kup, scourge, thundercracker and weeljack" also a good amount of the human alliance sideswipe 2pack thing
Really? Those were only given out during the first four years. What was your username back then?Quote:

I remember you now from your last name (on your email address on you registration)... which amazes me to think that I remember the early members so vividly, despite it being over 10 years ago.
Back into collecting, or just never left?
I spied a new Transformers item (and the first DOTM one!) at my local
Woolworths today. Its a Transformers Dark of the Moon "Mystery Bag".
Each bag, from what I read, contains up to five items, out of a selection
including stickers, badges, jigsaw puzzles, squishie balls, plastic ten pin bowing, tattoos, etc.
While the items probably won't be of interest to many, unless you have kids, its wonderful to see a kid-friendly package like this. We missed out on a Transformers Dark of the Moon showbag at the Ekka this year (only a knock off transforming robots bag with artwork of Armada minicons), so hopefully it will make some (not so big!) kids happy.
Little bit of both, really.Quote:

Posted on IDW, and the Allspark intermittently, after helping run a few Aussie sites that ultimately folded. And then I rediscovered here the other week. :)
Good to see you again, mate. :)
Sounds like the RotF mystery bags, just in new packaging (like the repackaged Tomy Figurines).Quote:

I don't know how they or TRU expect to sell so many at those prices..... Shelf warmers indeed.
Wool worhts Runaeay Bay and also Helensvale have restocked more of the G1 legend class, and both have Megs for those who missed out.
Garden City Kmart had a lot of Generations (including 2x Scourge and 1x Kup), HA Sideswipe/Icepick $25 and the Ark for $39 (new regular price?)
