im totally hanging for those figures! but sadly no signs.
speaking of twins and giant robots....
any idea when the twins icecream truck is coming and when we can expect LongHaul?

actually, im dieing for the Arcee triplets, i got a thing for odd looking bots and am really excited to get them, any idea when they hit shelves?

by the way, does any know if we will get figures of hightower and scrapper, not the ones that come with the huge demolishor or the legends size but actual individual ones, deluxe or otherwise?

cheers

Spotted LC Jetfire at Target Chatswood for $99 a pop didnt get it coz of the price tried to make them to price match kmart and big w but they wont budge . Also saw sideways and sidewipe for those who are looking for it.

well good news is i got a jetfire on hold at target miranda speak to Dkaris and he might be able to help you with that

ill give you guys some advice for these toy sales which applies to most of the stores, target, big w, kmart etc.

Toy sales are chaotic, ive worked them and its hell for staff because you have constant customers wanting stock, and its hell for customers coz there are never any staff around for them to get assistance. Now, most people simply stand in the aisle with a blank expression on their faces, complaining about how there are no staff. To these people i say: wake up. its frigging toy sale. the biggest sale of the year, of course we're going to be busy. Now, if you really cant find someone and you want to know if theres anything out the back, that may not be on the shelves, your best bet is to find the stores reception area, usually located either at the front of the store or near layby. tell the receptionist what your after, and chances are theyll page someone to check for you. Sure itll take 5- 10 minutes but if your that eager for a certain toy, you'll wait =P.

Another thing to take into consideration is most stores during toy sales have a little information counter that is normally updated with what is in stock and whats been sold. These counters are set up to help you, make use of them =]

Take into consideration that not every staff member knows transformers, so when you ask for the deluxe class sideswipe, leader class jetfire and a voyager starscream,9 times out of 10 theyll stare at you as if your speaking some other language (maybe cybetronian =P) Do try to explain what it is to them, eg, starscream is a jet. then theyll maybe have some clue.

I think you guys all usually follow this one. Toy sales are busy, stock sells out, if you want something then get there early. You would not believe the number of customers we get during big sales that whinge because the item they want sold out of 5 days ago. Its these people that fuel my fantasy to take an M4 Carbine to work and star blasting them away >=]

Finally, if your going to travel a fair way to another store for something, call first to avoid disappointment. its usually policy that during sales we cant hold stock, but if y our nice to the staff, theyll usually put it on hold for you.

I hope these tips have helped you. I hope none of you end up in my M4 killing spree fantasy =P

Hey Deceptic_Optics were the any Barricade, Fallen, or Brawl at Big W eastgardens?

Was also told last night, a lot of the transformers stock we have in store will be put down the front of the store near the entrance for the toysale. Convenient or what!

there is one of the fallen left but i hid it behind near the gym equipments i was going to get tommorow if you really want it you can have. hope you can find it though, i got Dkaris to hold a jetfire for me and i got three of the fallens already. I saw barricade at big w and its all the way pass the electronic section one of the middle aisle pass the bumblebee battle charge figure. saw brawl at kmart none at big w unfortunately. Barricade aint that good though its the same mold as tf1 toy only with a different gimmick.

by the way, i found one box of deluxes tonight, it was a mix. one bumblebee preview, one soundwave, one breakaway, one of the bulldozer one, and maybe a few sideswipes, and one smoke screen, the jazz repaint
