I do not know about world accurate. Cement mixers I know were all the original front cab back mixer. This is in Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia etc.....so I am unsure that would be considered as a "standard" . It does exist and I guess from the designer's view point it makes the leg more sturdy I guess?Quote:

Unless someone is willing to sell? :p
Considering people were thinking that this larger, second wave of Devastators would warm the shelves and not move... I'm pleasantly surprised that they have been sold pretty fast. There haven't been too many sightings of them a month later.
It's a good result, as it could get BigW taking on more Transformers toys... it's just a shame that Generations Leader toys are struggling to be taken up by retailers here, or sell too well.
I think the price has a lot to do with it, with most retailers selling Leader class figures at the $100 mark, it's a bit much for most collectors... $70-80 would probably move more figures...Quote:

Slowly meandering along may be more apt description ;) :D
Mhassar, there were four at Big W Capalaba this morning... I bought one there two weeks ago, when there were six
The way I found mine was the Big W website, there is a section which will let you now about store stock levels. It may not be completely acurate, but it will tell you which stores not to bother trying. It led me to me finding one ☺Quote:

Carindale and Capalaba have it in stock
Underwood has low stock
Garden City out of stock
I was in Carindale last week and from memory they had about 4 on shelf.
It took a long time for them to turn up at my local Big W.Quote:

They're both real world, just based on different types of cement mixers. It may be because you're just not used to seeing it. In 2007, some fans criticised Michael Bay for turning Optimus Prime into a long-nose truck instead of a Cab-Over-Engine truck (even though Optimus Prime was already long-nose truck back in 1995). Both types of cement mixers are equally realistic just as both long nose and CoE trucks are both realistic. :) #robotsindisguiseQuote:

My store seemed to have a couple extra turn up out of nowhere.
