That's funny.... I went to a Myer THursday night, and they had the SDCC Boba Fett with Carbonite Han in spiderwrapps on a display.... Nice levely Black Box with no idea whats inside, and most of the writting hidden by the security....Quote:

Duuuuude, Soundwarp you champion. I was going to go to that TRU today to see if they had anything I wanted. Looking at ur photos, I think I just saved myself a fruitless trip. Cheers.Quote:

The problem with Grimlock earlier this year, i think, was they had no stock in AUS at all but now they have stock so there should not be any trouble in transferring.
Edit 2: As for MP Sunstorm, their system said they had 10 of the in stock but couldn't find any, so they said as soon as they find one they'd call me :(
Great, thanks for the tip, I'll try, i noticed you can order again online as well...Quote:

First day of the Myer toy sale, and the Garden City store is out of the Autobot 5-pack, and has 2 of the Trailer/Sideswipe packs.
I grabbed the last Autobot 5-pack and asked if they had anymore out the back (so that I could post here for others to know if it was worth bothering going there for one). They said that more "should" come in and were taking names and details... so if they do get more in before the sale ends, you can reserve one and they'll chase you up. Otherwise, try a different store first if you can.
(I forgot my Myer One card... but wasn't going to go back home for it, as there was someone else there wanting one, so I couldn't risk saying that I'd go back home for it and come back to find it sold to someone else.)
TRU Garden City had a few MP Wheeljacks when I was there earlier today (I counted 4) and about half a dozen Prowls in case anyone doesn't have one yet.
Also saw TF4 Voyager Hound and Slog, Prime Voyager Bulkhead and Starscream, and the translucent Abominus legends set.
I was told by the Saleswoman/Cashier that these TF toys were on special & hence no further 10% discount with the Myer One card. But you do get the rewards points.Quote:

Also off topic they have an impressive Black Series Star Wars range, figures and the Speeder Bike and Endor attack set. I am trying to post a couple of photos I took but not sure how.
The store is only open till January at this stage. Hopefully it will stay open. It was very refreshing to go to one without driving an hour.
WHAT?! WHERE?!
A temporary store? How weird.
It's on their website now too.
Shop 4, Sunshine Plaza
154-164 Horton Pde
Maroochydore QLD 4558
That's two new stores this year, which only offsets the ones they recently lost (Mackay, Gold Coast).
I wonder if they have any more new stores on the horizon.
I can't fathom where it is in the plaza. Gonna head down after work.
It's where the original TRU was. Outside of the plaza area next to Teds camera house in the Woolworths centre.
Ah, the old Sam's Warehouse. Awesome. Will check it out tonight. Thanks!
So it's not actually in the Plaza (the address on the TRU site), or does Plaza Parade count as part of the Plaza?
There's a walk that connects the two buildings, but they are separate with separate parking. However, it does seem that those buildings at Plaza Parade (Woolie's, Teds, TRU) are officially part of Sunshine Plaza.
Yeah it is pretty sweet, especially seeing every figure there.
Bought a MP Grimlock at Aspley at 4pm on Wednesday 29th they had 1 left on the very top of the shelf on it's side you'd need a ladder to get it down. They may have moved it by now since there were none in easy reach.Quote:

It might make for a good meet location around Christmas time, while the store is still there (for a dinner, or if there is a park nearby for a picnic lunch). Get all the lurking Sunny Coasters together. ;)Quote:

That sounds like a stellar idea.
How much is MP Wheeljack at TRU?
I'm willing to come up, have access to a car now :DQuote:

I got the last Wheeljack at TRU Garden City this afternoon.
Picked up Slog from Myer Pacific Fair. There was also another one left and as per Myer sale was $39.
They had all of the Myer exclusives available.
Helensvale Westfield has wave 3 AOE deluxe. Picked up snarl saw Lockdown and Bumblebee but no sign of hotshot.
Edit: Target was the place
bump...Quote:

Probably best to do some google searching for applicable search words, as we don't have many Toowoomba members here (I can think of one, but might not post here often enough to see this request).
Don't know how helpful this is but a heads up anyway, saw 2 voyager Slogs and 2 voyager Drifts at Mr Toys in Queen Street Mall. $50.00 though :eek:
Gday mate, honestly not much to see here ...Quote:

In the way of toys, we have a Mr Toys Toyworld that isn't much to write home about, otherwise I usually get anything from Myer, Target, Big W or Kmart (un-conviently in three completely different "shopping centres" - using the term loosley).
I don't know if anyone has found this anywhere else yet but I found in a basket at Big W Gladstone with a ton of $5 Movie Legends figures in it. I noticed Prime and Stinger.
At Auspost, they have AoE Transformers silver coins. They're like $115 each, and comes in a display box that kinda looks like the allspark from 2007 first movie.
