Might Muggs at Kmart Belconnon for $9

Heaps of PoTP Wave 3 Deluxe at Target Belco

The Mighty Muggs shelf tag is the for the Marvel ones... so do the Transformers ones (and Star Wars ones) also scan in at $9?
I saw that they are only $15 in Kmart, which was already the cheapest in Australia so far (compared to $20 at other retailers), so knocking it down to $9 is less than half price.
(maybe they are already seeing these things not selling - the non-Transformers ones were released a few months ago - and are already discounting them)
I didnt scan them mate, unless someone in CBR beats me to it, I will have a look tomorrow.Quote:

So they are discounting the older ones after just a couple months. Maybe wait till Christmas and the Transformers ones will be discounted too.
Woden Big W has SS16-18 Deluxes - Shadow Raider, Ratchet and VW Bee.
Gungahlin too.
Tuggeranong Big W too...Shadow Raider, VW BB, & Ratchet...no SS Jazz though.
Saw SS Jazz @ Target Belconnen at lunch time.Quote:

Looks like I might have lucked out in terms of undoing some of the poss of joy those scalper scumbags have caused. I just called Bigw Tuggers and was told they have 2 Megatrons left which I told them to hold, so they can be bought to go under a Wishing Tree for families who can't even afford $5.Quote:

That's good to hear! I really wanted a Megatron as my young one loves jets / spaceship thingys but there has been none anywhere. If they can limit milk formula may be they should as well on heavily discounted stuff :rolleyes:Quote:

Well it is all good, found a lone Hound at TK Maxx for $20...would have taken it if it was Megs but just bought a Rescue bots instead for the little ones at same price as he doesn't want to let it go:)Quote:

Depending on the series, Rescue Bots "build fine motor skills", so technically you're being a very responsible parent and only buying your child educational toys ;).Quote:

Today on TCCA, someone was actually critical of Hasbro for claiming down on KO makers in China because they were going to miss out on cheaping out on completing their collections (never mind that the scams with KOs have been so prevalent in the past decade that it actually both motivated the creation of high-end tfs and has made it the success that it is).Quote:

Botbots and Siege at Toyworld now. Saw Deluxe, Voyager, Leader - dude mentioned “micro” guys but I didn’t see them.
Probably meant the battlemasters- for some reason the wave came with Pteraxodon rather than Firebolt.Quote:

Siege line is indeed at Fyshwick Toyworld, as well as various TLK, Cyberverse, and Studio Series.
Interestingly, the prices for Siege voyagers is the same as for deluxe, so I bought Siege Optimus & Sideswipe for $35 each! Was gonna get Megatron but he looks kinda Cyberversey. :D

Pteraxodon is wave 2 (with Aimless)... which wouldn't surprise me, as we are so far behind with getting WFC in compared to the rest of the world, that wave 2 is now being released, and we probably didn't get much wave 1 stock into this country... or missed it altogether (like the Micromasters who haven't been seen here yet).
Posted on Seibertron, the Bumblebee Movie Mission Vision toys (Bumblebee & Shatter) were also found at a Toyworld in Canberra.
The article is partly BS.Quote:

Which is why I didn't include it when referring to their news posting.
Besides, there are probably quite a few fans here who didn't realise we got MP Barricade here (particularly if they didn't have a TRU near them), and the news people in America definitely wouldn't have known every toy that was released here... so they can be forgiven for assuming that it was new here.
(and unfortunately, the Exclusives section of the 2018 toy checklist was the one section I never got around to (yet)... so they had probably didn't have an archive like that to check up on either)
What surprises me there though is that there was an Aussie transfan who is active in the community who didn't know it was out here. I honestly thought that was common knowledge for those of us who were online.
Target Belconnen has studio series baricade, sideswipe and WWII bumblebee in stock if you are still looking for them
All sieges are at Fyshwick toyworld. Only one Shockwave left and nil UM.
Heaps of Sideswipes and Hounds though.
Did they have the Micromasters yet?
To tell you the truth i didnt even look at the basics.Quote:

Not yet... only the targetmasters. Otherwise I would have bought them :DQuote:

Siege has finally hit bigw woden
But only the little fellas
Picked up laserbeak and ravage today
