Actually I went in not really expecting them to price match but surprisingly they did after I showed them the catalogue. It was hassle free too, just grabbed it, showed the store manager who approved it, then told the checkout operator and walked out. I wish all price matches were this easy, I'd do them more often.

Nah, it's definitely Movie Swerve. I just bought ROTF Leader Class Jetfire, ROTF Ravage (I wasn't going to buy him but he was so cool in the movie and for sub $20 it was hard to resist) and ROTF Soundwave. Jetfire is a truly stunning toy!!

Picked up ROTF Jetfire for $67.73 which I was pretty stoked about.

Can't believe how awesome OP and JF combined mode is, wish I had of ended up buying an additional OP and JF to have a permanent powerup mode on my shelf.

I am very disappointed at K-mart (Sunnybank) the reason is that they weren't allowed to match big w's prices for voyagers because when they rang Big w they didn't have it in-stock so I ended up having to pass on demolisher,mixmaster,starscrean and ironhide! "GRRRR... I hate you kmart!"

Unfortunately, that's their price-matching policy - it has to be instock at the story they ring. It's just bad timing that most BigW stores are cleaned out of TFs at the moment, especially the Voyager size.
Go to Myer (like Carindale if you are still in Brisbane), as they have the early wave stuff like starscream and Ironhide, and their current sale has them at $40 each, which is only $3 more than BigW. Plus, it'll give you the chance to enter their competition to win the golden Optimus figure (just make sure you buy each toy separately to enter the competition more times - each entry form needs a different reciept number).

One of four Autobot toys released in Europe and here after Actionmasters (1992). They are recolours of four Japanese toys, and since they didn't have actual names on their packaging in 1992, fans just call them by their original Japanese names.

Nice but I managed to arrange something at k-mart australia fair, they can match it there and they can hold it till today so I'll be picking up mixmaster, demolisher, ironhide and startscreen!

Got G1 Bumblejumper/Bumper today in a nice custom card:

http://www.geocities.com/wow_frostwolf/loot/060709.jpg

Unfortunately the figure is far from being in good codition, all his metal parts are rusted and fixed in place (arm/wheel pin) and the painted bits such as the back bumper are worn badly. Looks like a kid had a lot of fun in the bathtub with this toy - I am in partial refund talks with the seller as he neglected to mention these 'small' details :mad:

He is going to be a bit of a restoration job but once I finalize issues with the seller, I will get cracking and I am confident of being able to bring him back to a respectable state.

BTW:

Doubledealer, that turbo master looks awesome!

I wish I still had my Hurricanes engine/gun. I owned two Hurricanes at one stage and still managed to lose both parts.
