Went to Target, Waverley Gardens today. Saw a few Perceptors, Wreck Gars, BB's and G2 Op. Continued down the line of star wars figures and noticed an out of place Perceptor. Looked a bit odd. Picked it up...and there hiding behind him was a Jazz and Tracks!
So c'mon fellas...'fess up! Who's responsible? :P
Not that I am aware. I put them under the price scanner and it said $34.88. just like the deluxes said $22.88. If they had of been regular price I would have left them. (Generations Deluxes still $28)Quote:

Be interesting to see what the prices are on Thursday which is my main hunt day (well Friday is as well)
If it's an unadvertised sale price it's likely to end tomorrow. So get em cheap while you can. Then again maybe you are good luck and we should all go hunting with you. I am surprised you spotted a Hasbro MP Skywarp.
at kmart in northcote there was 2 lugnuts, a grapple and a strafe??? haven't seen him before.
Trip to Bendigo today to visit a good friend
Stoped by Big W had a heap of Legends although no Megatron
Target had lots of Reveal the Shield Deluxes, including a Tracks. Also saw some Hunt for the Decepticons exclusives. Starscreams Assault (Mudflap and Starscream), The Fury of Bonecrusher (Recon Ironhide, Bonecrusher) at $35 each - new to me, but old for Australians
Myer had some very expensive Reveal the Shield Deluxes ($35AU)
Toyworld had an 07 Movie Prime, a bunch of Bludegons and wave mates for $25, a couple of Steamhammer PCC 5 Packs for $30 and some other old stuff that didn't interest me.
Safeway in the Bendigo Marketplace had the cheap Wave 2 PCCs
Didn't get out to Kmart -- too far away.
Then visited Myer in the city, more Deluxes and expensive Legends at $8AU but again no Megatrons.
The Target in Bendigo provided some clues on whats happening with Transformer prices. Each of these had big clearance tags underneath them.
Hunt for the Decepticon Scouts - clearance to $15
Reveal the Shield Deluxes (Jazz, Tracks, Wreck Gar, G2 Prime, Perceptor and Bumblebe - clearance to $22.88
Hunt for the Decepticon Voyager/Deluxe sets - clearance to $34.88
It can be assumed that the $34.88 Reveal the Shield Voyagers (Grappel, Lugnut and Strafe) are also on clearance as well, but Bendigo didn't have any
Also a bunch of Star Wars and Marvel Legends on clearance as well.
Went around Doncaster, Forest Hill and Ringwood this afternoon.
Found good stocks of Legends at Target Forest Hill, and Target Doncaster had new Voyagers as well as a Jazz, Tracks and Gen Blurr (but they came home with me)
Big Ws are terrible, though I saw my first HFTD Thrust/Bee and Barricade/Sideswipe repaint two packs and wanted but had to leave.
Toys R Us Doncaster showed me some new to me exclusives I hadn't seen before, but are old news to everyone else here
Anyone seen a Generations Thrust recently?
Also looking for Targets with Goldbug and Lugnut. So far (Northcote, Doncaster and Greensborough) are all way out of my way.
Kmart at Brandon Park had a 2 thrusts last week that had been there for for a few weeks, you could try there.
anyone wants RTS legends megs
1 at minotaur-12.95-pricey and 2 at target chadstone for $7 (mind you this was last week)
Minotaur has Grimstone and Dinobots at $50. Also has the PCC deluxe Heavy Tread (green tank) at $25. That was Wednesday though.
Northland was bereft of anything new. Target had Bumblebees and G2 Prime but that was the extent of it.
I forgot about Minotaur. Shall have to take a look on Saturday
Did some MORE hunting today
Frankston - Target had at least a couple of sets of Jazz/Tracks + the rest of the deluxes. Kmart also had a Jazz
Southland - Pretty sure Target had a Lugnut and Strafe
Myer had Human Alliance Sideswipe and Bee, and David Jones had a Blurr that I looked at and had to pass because it was too expensive with the currnet NZ exchange rate
Chadstone - Kmart still had all the scouts, only place with Windcharger that I have got too. Still 3 left after I grabbed a few.
Northland - No luck with Buster Prime/Jetfire pack sadly. Anyone know where I can get one in the next few days? (Kmart $109 or cheaper)
Generally either nothing in Kmart or Big W, while your selection may vary at Target stores on what Reveal the Shield you find.
You went to Frankston, Southland, Chadstone and Northland. In one day. Without a car. :eek: That is an amazing effort.
And the GP as well.
Certinally takes a while to get around the place using public transport. Sorta like Singapore, though most stores are not near the train line so you have to take a bus as well
I can understand why people stick to their own area for hunting ..
Drat, Northcote Kmart -- not Northlands Kmart.
Sigh. Another trip needed to see if I can snag a Buster Prime
I saw the following at Box Hill Big W about 2 hours ago:
5 RTS BiS Pack for $25,
1 RTS Turbo Tracks,
1 RTS Deluxe Optimus,
and a few RTS Perceptors.
I think Battle Ops Bumblebee is on sale for $48.
verboten82 just reported that RTS Voyagers are available at Toyworld Southland for $25.
Any cheap Grapples?
Waverley Gardens
Target: A few RTS deluxes (including one Tracks). No Voyagers.
Brandon Park
Kmart: AA Leader Starscream for $88. I got the Thrust they had there.
Glen Waverley
Target: RTS Strafe. A lot of RTS deluxes wave 2.5 (Tracks but no Jazz)
Highpoint
Target: Most AA Voyagers and a Strafe. Quite a few deluxes
Toys R Us: Mostly old stuff that's not moving
Big W: Still a few Cyc vs Rod packs. RTS deluxes wave 2. A few RTS legends
Myer: some very old stuff at high prices (ROTF Rampage, Grindor, Long Haul, Animated Voyager Bulkhead, Prime and Megatron)
Doncaster
Target: RTS Wave 2 deluxes, no voyagers or legends
Big W: Nothing of note
Toys R Us: Lots of old stuff. A Drift among the Generations deluxes (but no Blurr)
I'll go there tomorrow and let you know ;)Quote:

Too far out to visit again though and really is no more room in the suitcase for more items. Be all Strafes anyway by the time I got there :-)
Went down to Southland, picked up 3 of Grappel and Lugnut and packed them up to send back home. Left 2 Grappels and a heap of Lugnuts behind.
Also RTS Deluxes (Jazz, Tracks, Wreck Gar, Perceptor, Bee and Prime) for $14.99 each!! At least three of each as I didn't pick any up (tempted but I didn't know if I could return the items I had brought from Target)
HFTD Leaders (Prime and Starscream) for $50 as well.
Amazing what two days makes between visits.
What? Were those at Toyworld?Quote:

Haha!
She also told me that they just got in last night, and have already half gone!
There is still over 9000 Lugnuts and Strafes, I grabbed the last Grappel on the shelf though :D
Also, $15 RTS deluxes there too. (revision wave with Jazz/Tracks)
I live about 190km away, so no I won't be there. ;) What I'm wondering is if this is a new Toyworld special or just something that shop is doing?
Just in case, I think I'll visit my local Toyworld tomorrow.
Well, they're all franchises(well, the Southland one is anyway)... Sooo I'm assuming the prices are only the stores owned by the same people?Quote:

With thanks to Wheel-J for the tip, I headed to Kmart Footscray and found they had two of the Buster Prime/Jetfire packs, scanning at $109. I took one leaving one on the shelf.
Really bad boxes though.
Saw over the weekend
Big W Southland
- 2 Wreck Gars, 2 Perceptors and 2 Primes left.
Target Southland
- Are they having a sale? RTS Legends are $4.80, Voyagers ~$39.95 and Deluxes are $22.43 (I bought 2 on Sat 26/03).
As mentioned above, Target is clearancing Reveal the Shield Legends, Deluxe and Voyagers. They seem to have got them confused with Hunt for the Decepticon toys.
And with this post I end my contribution to this sighting thread since Inam now back in New Zealand
so sad!! no wreckgars here in Singapore!!!!!!Quote:

Sorry just read you post! Arggh! I'll grab for you when I see them again! Haven't seen your Windcharger too, might have to let you have the one I've got. Do you mind it's open or you want the MISB one?Quote:

must. get. jazz and tracks and wreckgarrrrr
Yeah its funny actually, haven't seen Windcharger for awhile now.
Greensborough toy world has rts bumblebee, G2 optimus prime, perceptor, wreck gar, jazz and tracks for the unbelievable price of $18 each.
With the exception of bumblebee I already have them so only one cheap deluxe for me but anyone that doesn't have them already should jump on them at that price
Toy World at Docklands has CRAPLOADS of RTS figures!!! They were priced at $19.99 and loads of grapple and lugnuts as well they were $34.
Long shot here, but even after getting what I did while I was in Victoria - I didn't end up getting enough Deluxes :-)
Looking for the following
4-6 Jazz, 2 Tracks, 3 Wreck Gar and maybe 1 Perceptor.
From a store that is selling them for $20AU or under - $20AU being the top price I can justify paying for these figures (exchange rate and shipping issues)
I have asked swoop and primatives based on their sightings but they are unable to get back to the stores.
Thanks
