Yeah, I thought that was weird. So I scanned other deluxes and they came up as the regular $23.xx. It's only these two exclusives that are priced as such for, I believe, the upcoming toy sale.

Yeah, I know they are in separate cases, but they've been paired up and released together as if they were all in the same case.
As for the price, it is another example of how Hasbro was ripping us off with keeping the regular sizes at the same price as last year...
As each one-off item is being priced based on the current exchange rate, its retail price gets cheaper and cheaper than the same-sized regular items that are still pegged at pricing set years ago when the exchange rate was US$0.50.
If Hasbro ever claims that they aren't taking advantage of the exchange rate, the prices of these one-off exclusive items are proof.
Wonder if they will be in the catalogue. They could be usefull to price match against. Especially if they just say deluxes.
Hi. I'm new to the forums. I saw a whole bunch of DOTM figures at Big W Sunbury today in a special Optimus vehicle mode display:
Jetwing Prime $148 (or $149... not sure)
Wave 2 Voyagers
Wave 1 Leaders
Wave 1 Deluxes ( :( I want a Topspin)
and the usual cyberverse
Big W City have Wave 2 deluxes & leaders and also Jet Wing Prime. They are scattered tho so you will have to look around.
jet wing prime @ big w parkmore 148 :)
big w city yesterday also had wave 2 voyagers. they put out the trailer display thing and stacks of leader toys. finally got to see JW prime in person. massive package! these are all in the middle section of the store not in toy section. two ha skids when i left.(i took the only bee)
pcc wave 4 2steamhammers and 1 grimstone at woolswoorths parkmore...
Any1 seen the new Ultimate Battle packs at Target?
Searched eastside, no luck
Was out at Highpoint today, BigW had massive truck display but nothing interesting. Surprisingly, all wave 1 Deluxes there. No Wave 2 of anything, really.
Myer had a good selection.
I saw the Stealth Force Prime at TRU for $50 and just shook my head,
Big W Westfield Geelong Has wave 1 & 3 deluxe, as well as their exclusive Deluxe Optimus. He's not bad, need paint apps badly though. Also Wave 1 and 2 Voyagers and Leaders.
Kmart Belmont has many (read: many) of their rally deco exclusives, wave 1 and 3 deluxes, wave 1 and 2 leaders, and the megatron and optimus cyberverse bases. still no deluxe wave 2, as is being reported in a couple of NSW kmarts. BUT they do have generations kup et al. including one scourge, if anyone is still looking.
...personally, i just want a damn topspin.
who wants a generations warpath?
kmart parkmore has one ( front racks with the dotm toys) along with scourge and wheeljax
Is dotm shockwave uncommon to find?
Depends. I first saw them at David Jones then last week I saw them at Big W. Hopefully they are still there when the sale starts.
Anyway Cyberverse Playsets Optimus and Megatron have begin to appear at Kmart. Just picked mine up earlier. $23.75 each. Their regular retail is cheaper than Target on sale price. :rolleyes:
Massive amounts of Shockwaves / Skyhammers at Big W city. Gotta say, I was impressed somewhat by the amount of TFs.
Also all 3 Leaders, Wave 1 & 2 Deluxes, HAs, Commanders/Scouts. Didn't see the Ark though. Will pick it up on the way out from work though.
Big W sunbury has plenty of DOTM stuff scattered all over the store
Wave 1 and 2 Legions
Wave 1 commanders
Wave 1 Deluxes
Deluxe optimus prime
Human aliance deluxe (bumblebee and skids)
Wave 1 and 2 voyagers
All 3 leaders
Jetwing prime
Ark
"bash bots"
legends 3 pack with bumblebee soundwave and rodimus
Target sunbury now has thundercracker sideswipe mudflap and laserbeak
Towworld sunbury has wave 1 DOTM stuff, ark, and RTS and NEST voyagers (lugnut, grappel, strafe, mindwipe, bludgeon) for $25 each
STL, the ark is near the woolies entry near customer service.
Big W South Yarra has pretty much stock of everything. I picked up shockwave so only 1 left. Still 50/50 on picking up Jetwing prime so there are 4 still sitting at the display.
i think i might have to get a few dotm toys >_>
Anyone still looking got DOTM shockwave, theres about 3-4 at TRU Chaddy as of Friday (01/07) evening - $33.99
Also Big W Forest Hill had DOTM Deluxes Thundercracker and Barricade, haven't seen them at other places yet. - $19.67
Sorry to bother but does anyone know what price K-Mart and Target have Shockwave for?
Just bought DOTM topspin at target ballarat. So there is finally hope of this wave being released.
Was at Big-w south yarra this afternoon. There were still 2 Jetwing Primes, 2 Shockwaves, 1 Skyhammer, 4 arks, a tonne of other deluxes & legions.
What are the chances of stores getting fresh stock? I'm wondering if Target will get more stock for their toy sale? The DOTM Voyagers are about $33 during their sale.
Big W City lots of Primes but still Shockwaves and Skyhammers, I counted at least x3 of each.
Target surprisingly has sales too tho at vastly inferior prices to TRU and Big W.
Big w south Yarra has the same stock as mentioned above but no more skyhammers. Has anyone seen ROtf leader starscream on clearance still? I'd love to get my hands on one.
