Just saw the "Flash Freeze Assault" Sideswipe/Icepick two-pack at Kmart. Only $25 for a Human Alliance deluxe and basic? Kmart sure did a good deal on their exclusives. Was this part of the toy sale?

When in fact it should be the reverse - the existing lines should be the same price as these one-off items if the wholesale prices were ever adjusted to reflect the exchange rate.
BTW, it's nice to see that one here. I was thinking that and the Bumblebee one wouldn't make it to Australia... and this is the one I don't have either. :D
Well then we're getting a good deal then. :)
Just saw in the First Sightings thread the note about Ratchet and Starscream. I spotted them at Target the other day but didn't know they weren't already spotted.
Also saw a Mirage toy for the first time today. Speedstars but getting closer.
Here's some pics. I did happen to snap the worst of the two pack, but they had about 12 of them.

Excellent, another item to be on the lookout for when I cross the ditch. Thanks for the sighting Paulbot.
How much were those Voyagers scanning for Paul?
$49 at my local. The Starscream disappointed me. It's not fully metallic like Deep Space Starscream. Rather, a mush-mash of painted/non-painted bits.
Kmart campbellfield has around 20 of the flash freeze assault sets
Sorry about that Paul, I musta missed it when scanning through the sightings that day. I'll send a copy of your photo post to the first sightings topic.
Target stocked up with plenty of Leader Ironhides...
http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...guy1o1_500.jpg
Deluxes (but like most stores Wave 2 seems to be missing) and Voyagers...
http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lo...guy1o1_500.jpg
...and a big pile of Jetwing Primes

Found 8 Warpaths at Kmart. As well as a few each of the rest of that wave. Kinda regretting the BBTS order now! :o

Kmart also had this cheap remote control Transforming car

He's got a familiar face...

Target Frankston has the following;
Voyage StarScream and Ratchet
Heaps of Shockwaves/Skyhammers
Leader Ironhides
Topspins and Jolts (there wasn't TOO many of them there)
Prime/G2 Megatron 2 packs
There was also a nice stack of Jetwings.
kmart belmont(geelong) has the ha freeze flash assault 2pk (sideswipe/(black)icepick)@ $25 just put on shelves yesterday(20/7/11)
they have also restocked the generations(final 5-wheeljack,thundercracker,kup,scourge & warpath-1 or 2 cases?)@$25 & (more commonly available) ha basic figures(sandstorm,backfire,(white)icepick & thunderhead)@$19
Not much knew at Doncaster last night. Couldn't find those bloody Topspins unfortunately.
Were Target deluxes supposed to be $20? Cos I saw them at $19 and figured it must've been in response to Big W.
Yeah freaking annoyed I couldn't find a Topspin as well yesterday at Target Forest Hill. Regretted not buying it first when I saw 2 of them a couple of weeks before the sale. Gonna try my luck at Fountain Gate tonight since it's a rare opportunity we have to drive up to Narre Warren. :pQuote:

-----------------------------------------
Anyway Target Forest Hill had the new wave of DOTM voyagers Starscream and ratchet yesterday. Also had Shockwave and Skyhammer, heaps of Jetwing Prime, Powerglide. No new waves at Target Chaddy.
Kmart Burwood East also had Generations Scourge, Kup, Wheeljack, Warpath etc if anyone's still looking for them. And the HA Sideswipe with Icepick.
I didn't see any topspins at Highpoint Target today, they did have Jolt. TRU have a lot of Ghost Starscreams on sale at about $150.
Target Brimbank had a couple of Jolts Wednesday night I can check later.
Like I said, there were quite a few at Target Frankston yesterday. I'll be going there again Sunday afternoon to grab some nerf, I'll grab any others that are there?Quote:

Any particular local TRU stores have the Cyberverse playsets of Megatron and Optimus? (Eg the commanders with trailers)
northland and doncaster do
Cool thanks. If those two stores do, there's a good chance one of the ones closer to me will too.Quote:

No Prime or Megatron Cyberverse sets though. Just BB and Starscream :(
Target is well stocked with most stuff (except wave 2 Deluxes) but won't pay an extra $8 for the sets. If I was meant to buy them TRU would have had them.
Just came from Brandon Park Kmart which had 1 each of the prime and megs cyberverse playsets, and last night kmart fountain gate had a couple of each - dont know if that helps? (they were $23 or $24)
Thanks but I wanted the cheap TRU price but I bet on the wrong store. I'm going to save the $40 for something else.Quote:

6 each of Jolt and Topspin at Target Southland.

Also the non-transforming Rescue Bots (Chase and Heatwave) for $34 (only at Target sign) and the Bumblebee Rescue Garage for $29

Oh Topspin, why do you elude me.
Doncaster today had x3 sets of Prime Cyberverse sets.
Thanks for the offer! Found me one lone Topspin and grabbed him when I went to Target Chaddy on Sunday. :)Quote:

Went to the wrong TRU. No MP Rodimus at Knox.
They did however have ROTF Devastator on sale for $80 down from $170.
Didn't see any at TRU northland, highpoint had none yesterday either, I'll probably miss it just like mp grimlock, I never even saw him at retail.
Sightings are only NSW so far aren't they? I wouldn't stress yet
Like TF76 never saw Grimlock at retail, so now that they are in the country I don't want to wait and miss out and only get one chance a week to visit TRU.Quote:

I'd go and check TRU Frankston for you if I got more than 2 hours sleep last night... :/
Maybe later on.
Only one store? Since there were various postings here, on facebook and on twitter, it led me to think it was a more widespread release.
Still sucks that I can't get to a TRU until Saturday.
So far as I know. I found it in Parramatta, and told a few people as soon as I saw him. A few people have grabbed him form there I know. Could just be that they put them out early. You never know, you might find him when you get there on Saturday :)Quote:

Lots of movie stuff and heaps and heaps of battle ops bee. Ghost starscream was labeled at the regular price again but I didn't scan it.
I have a cold and wasn't up for looking much, I just woke up again.
I probably can't make it befor closing tomorrow so for me anyway, I hope they don't show up till Wednesday. ;)
