I might be convinced... :)
Is that a cannon in Bumblebee's pocket, or is he just happy to see us?Quote:

i was hoping to grab him tomorrow, but alas i'm sick until at least tuesday, none will be left by then and i doubt dirge could afford two shockwaves
I went to HobbyCo today, didn't see any Shockwaves, only Sunstorm.
Wave 2 of Marvel Crossovers just hit my TRU.... then my boot... currently my bed...
and Universe Voyager wave 5.... Inferno x 2 leo prime and overload
THe Black Emperor, Clone Wars Deco Gunship, ANd Forest ATAT are in toyworlds across brisbane....
The 2 Legends 5-packs (Leaders and Aerial Rivals) appearing in BigW, for the sale this week - $27.
smokescreen & dinobot @ kmart
Animated legends @ kmart
Smokescreen and Dinobot @ K-Mart Broadway.
There is one Dinobot. There were two, but the other is currently standing on the desk.
Kmart Sunnybank also had in today the Dinobot (Smokescreen already gone), Activators Dirge, Cliffjumper and Megatron, and the Animated Legends (Op, BBee, Prowl).
If looking for Universe Treadbolt, Kmart seems to be the best source at the moment. I found one locally recently, and aside from a couple of TRU sightings, Kmart looks to be the store that acquired most of that assortment.
And Toyworlds seem to be the common source so far for Universe Inferno, Leo Prime and Overload.
Target has a range of Classic T-Shirts in stock at the moment.
One of them is a TF one! It's a Decepticon logo with some wreath-like decorations.
I've been trying to track the release of the recent five Animated Deluxes (Swindle, Blurr, Blazing Lockdown, Waspinator, Samarai Prowl), but they still seem to be isolated sporadic appearances at places like TRU, Toyworld and Kmart. At least they are out here now, even if it is fairly slowly.
Swindle, Blurr, Blazing Lockdown are out in SA, Big W, K-mart & Myer have them now.
Found Inferno, Overload and Leo Prime at Target for $25 in Melbourne.
I've seen Blurr, Blazing Lockdown and Swindle at both Kmarts and Big W's in NSW, but their release is very sporadic.
Just a quick warning guys, stay away or at least be aware that Myer is charging $39.95 for all of their Animated deluxes. yeah they have plenty of blurr, swindle, blazing lockdown, but at that price? what are they thinking?!
Been like that for AAAGGGGGEEESSQuote:

Confirmed with the local distributor yesterday that he's due to get his ROTF toys in around 15 May, so if you know any toy stores near you that tend to get 'excitable' with embargoed stuff, start looking 2 weeks from now...
Krayt just called me to let me know he saw at least 2 Whirl + Bludgeon 2-packs for $80 in ROTF packaging at TRU.
UPDATE: TRU refused to sell them.
Bwahahaha. Oh dear. Is that a worldwide first sighting? And first refusal? (So I'm guessing that TRU think the two-pack falls under some sort of embargo on movie toys, even though Whirl and Bludgeon have nothing to do with the film...)Quote:

Yes, TRU are receiving their Exclusive (has the exclusive sticker) Whirl and Bludgeon packs....
Scans (checkpoint) at $79.9X.... But at the register comes up with an "Unavailable for sale" message.
What to say.... BEAUTIFUL cgi details on the character heads on the front of the box.... really going out of their way for "non-movie" figures.
so no idea of release date.... but they are shipping at least
any pic? :D
Of what? a recently emptied shelf?
I've always been curious about this, what's the law when it comes to refusal to sell displayed items in a store? I know they're worried about having a falling out with Hasbro, but really, they've already cocked up by putting it on the shelf, so an angry fan could always 'dob' them in anyway?Quote:

Items in stores and on shelves are "an invitation to treat". This means that the store invites you to make an offer to purchase the item. Once the store accepts your offer, then the contract is complete and the sale is made. Placing the item on the shelf does not constitute an offer so that your willingness to buy does not constitute an acceptance.Quote:

That's awesome, I'm going to use that the next time I'm in Myer trying to buy an Animated Deluxe figure.
So basically... "Computer says no".Quote:

The head of Whirl is something many of you will want to look at closely.... bad paint ap on top where the 2 halves join together....
Apart from that they look pretty good....
oh... except woth the injection mould mark on the knee of Whirl as well.... Mine's very white....
:p
So they did sell it to you? Wasn't that what Wheel-J was asking for pics of?Quote:

also didn't want to get peoples hopes up coz the rest were pulled.... only got this one coz i had it in my hand.... and coz they sold it as the Blackout&Scorponok 2pack to get around the system.
Now.... how do i post a pic?
If you have the pics on your computer, you can just attach them to your post (on the 'advanced' posting option). Or if you have a picture hosting account somewhere, you can insert the pics into the post.
Found a couple of new items last week at ToysRUs Garden City.
Animated Bumper Battlers Workzone Bulkhead (a lighter green redeco).
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...ct_id=10216578
Animated Power Bots Street Patrol Bumblebee (very slight redeco of Cyber Speed Bbee).
Just found ROTF Preview wave Soundwave and Bumblebee at Pacific Fair Target for 28.99 each! Hurry hurry cause Soundwave is going fast!
Is this a first? I suspect it is.Quote:
