Plus a whole pile of generations going for dirt cheap, if anyone is looking for a laser prime, get there!
Just got home from visiting the GF.
If anyone is after Generations Kmart Innaloo should have you what you're after they had Wheeljack, Kup, Scourge and Warpath
Dropped by Target Carousel earlier today
DOTM Topspin was sighted along with Jolt and for any interested parties there are x2 Topspin and 1 Jolt hidden on the top row (If looking at the Transformers) behind you behind some sort of kiddy play and learn giraffe thing.
DOTM Voyager Starscream and Ratchet Repaints were also sighted. Screamer looks like he has custard all over his face. :p
The topspin in carousel kmart :D or target :(?Quote:

Dropped by Midland Gate hoping to grab Topspin & Roadbuster on sale, but NO LUCK - Big-W & Kmart a little decimated! But nice surprise:
Kmart Midland Gate:
Generations on the shelves - Warpath x1, Wheeljack x2, Kup x1, Scourge x1, and Thundercracker x2 (!!)
Some random DOTM Deluxes but no Roadbuster or Topspin - they did have 2 of the exclusive Sideswipes, I liked the bright colours so nabbed one :)
Target Midland Gate:
Still quite a few DOTM Deluxes & Voyagers on the shelves, along with a whole stack of DOTM Leader Ironhides ready for sale next Thurs it looks. I'll have to pop in early to grab a Roadbuster (if they are still there) but no Topspin! Grrr!
Big-W was simply in a mess...
Popped out to Belmont Forum during lunch hour...
Kmart:
Stacks of Generations - 3+ each of Warpath, TC, and Wheeljack. No Kup or Scourge.
Also bunch of random DOTM Deluxes, Voyagers, & Leader Sentinel & Bee. No Topspins.
Still got 2 exclusive Deluxe Bees left, no exclusive Sideswipes though.
Managed to get Laserbeak for $12 :D
Big-W
Surprisingly good stock of DOTM Deluxes, although once again no Topspins!
There was even one Skyhammer left - weapon included :)
Happy to get my Roadbuster on discount at last.
Went by Innaloo after work - crazy I know, but the movie seems to have revived the excitement of these 'hunts' for me ;)
Kmart:
Not a bad range, all DOTM wave 1 Voyagers & all Leaders out.
Deluxes a little limited to shelf-warmers Bees, Crankcase, and more common ones. No Topspin.
Generations have been decimated - I saw 2 Wheeljacks only.
NB there are two areas of TFs, although this may be cut after the sale.
Target:
A bit of an eye-opener in that half the floor space has been converted into what looks like a TRU.
DOTM Voyagers & Leaders as per Kmart above.
Deluxes again mainly more common ones, although had a couple of TC & Laserbeaks (is it me or is this guy being snapped up quick after the film showed?).
Again, no Topspin.
NB as for Kmart, there are two areas of TFs.
As an aside, for those of us who work (I'm sure some make $100+/hr), you'd think that ebay makes more sense than driving around the city, but internet just doesn't replicate the thrill! :p
For those at joondalup...i saw an asian edition of bumblebee at big w! was tempted to buy it! but god...the packaging was horrid! looked like it had a boxing match with the english versions of the toy. Scanned at the same price as well as the english editions.
It was great to see the difference. The main difference i saw that the chest bit on the american edition has some bits coated in a vomit like yellow whilst the japanese version uses the same yellow throughout.
Midland and apparently Kalamunda Toyworld have an in-store promotion that ends on the 16th. It's a sheet in store (one per customer) with a bunch of coupons that give either a 50 (only one of these), 30 25 or 20% discount. You choose which one.
Conditions include one coupon per item and the item must be full-priced. I used my sheet to get a RTS deluxe for $15 and another for $21.
I've heard about this, are the vouchers capped in value? I heard that the individual item had to be no more than $30 for the 30% discount.Quote:

From what I recall, only the 50% one had a maximum price listed ($30) but I could be wrong.
No Topspins that I could find.
Sorry! I bought the only Topspin from there nearly 5 weeks ago:pQuote:

There were 2 top spins, a jolt, and a few barricades at target vic parkQuote:

Armadale Target has SHockwave, Skyhammer(right name:confused:) and other bits and pieces. One of the stores had some Topspins, maybe Target or K-Mart can't remember which.
Target Midland finally put out their stock... all of the shy DOTM Deluxe wave 2 spotted, with stacks of Topspin and Jolt (7+ of each) on a shelf near the kitchen porcelain (not the usual toy area).
Strangely didn't spot any of the 2nd wave Voyagers... maybe they're saving it until the last minute before Thursday sale.
Damn them for holding back... coulda saved $8 from my ebay order :p
Morley Toys R Them had the scan series deluxe ironhide and sideswipes in stock - $30
plus a mech tech weapon-less shockwave for $25
City run at last... but nothing huge!
Target:
Pretty crap considering sale on tomorrow.
Only thing of note was one Skyhammer & one Shockwave (first time I've seen this) on the shelf.
Stacks of shelfwarming Jetwing Primes.
Myer:
Average... only thing of note was a single Topspin.
Also quite a few Jetwing Primes going for a discounted... $169! :confused:
David Jones:
Really really crap - pathetic few common deluxes & voyagers.
Although still had a Leader HFTD Starscream... for $100
I am new to this website but I will try and contribute. Anyways I have a question, why is Scrouge a popular and rare transformers character? I'm just wondering.
By the way, I didn't see quite clearly but I saw a glimpse of what I thought was 2 shockwaves on the shelf at Kmart Belmont. Also a reveal the shield Perceptor, a few HFTD voyagers and around 4 jetwing Primes in Big W Riverton.
there was a topspin at joondalup
Have you played with the toy? it is an awesome update! plus in the cartoon series...he had sweeps (pretty much clones of himself), thus you have people that like collecting more than one (army building).Quote:

Couldn't do that, they had like a staff member perQuote:

There was a clerk watchin the transformers section. I took the one top spin that was visible from the start. There may be more behind. There were 3 or so target exclusive starscreams that i decided not to get.
Also thought myself out of buying the black cyberverse megatron n blue ironhides (these were stocked nicely).
Still plenty of meg n optimus classics 2 packs but they all had either a shoddy paint job on at least 1 figure. There was one that was almost perfect for both...but primes mouth piece was scratched!
Few jetwing primes going for 149.
I bought wwe all stars for 29 dollars as well as the sims for 35 (ps3 versions). Could have gotten the sims cheaper on ebay but...i dont like those platnium editions :0.
Yeah, I agree, it's an awesome update... plus he's bloody powerful too! If stats are to be believed, his numbers actually equal Megatrons, strangely :cool:Quote:

Thanks and I just bought him [Scourge] tonight in Garden City's Kmart. There were a couple of generations wheeljack, thundercracker, warpath and 1 Sergeant Kup.
You should those other guys to your collection as well. At one point warpath was the most wanted toy ahead of scourge (both are excellent toys)Quote:

More of a non-sighting: the power went out in Toys r Them while I was there so was unable to buy any of the cyberverse playsets on sale
Ya they're all great molds... although personally I favour RTS Tracks over Wheeljack... I reckon the mold works better on Tracks, with better colours, but one can also get them all :pQuote:

I guess i 'll try to get kup first since there was only one and in comparison with RTS Perceptor, which one do you think is better to get.Quote:

Is this just the mechtech deluxe topspin? If so theres a whole slug of them at the glassware section of Midland Target. Also more Jetwing Primes than you can you can poke a stick at.Quote:

Kups getting a re-release in November as part of generations wave 9. A case of 8 will ship as: 2 junkions(wreckgar repaint), 2 skyshadows(thunderwing repaint), 2 kups, 1 wheeljack and 1 warpath.Quote:

Just spotted Masterpiece Ghost Starscream going for $150 at TRU Innaloo for anyone that is interested.
Also still on the lookout for more dinobots, need that last PCC collection (another two required!)
I PM'ed you last week as I found one PCC Dinobot set for you. And that was the last one there.Quote:
