SA Transformers Sightings.

Went to Target in Fulham Gardens, $60 Universe Optimus Prime and Crumplezone boxset... I was so close to buying it but thought it wasn't worth spending money on Transformers I don't even know.

Bad luck loophole, I did see 1 bludgeon at Harbor Town Toyworld, with Defender Op. Prime, Recon Ironhide and Mindwipe. I just went to Marion and couldn't find Thrust on Thursday, well, looks like I'll be back :cool:.

By the way, is Masterpiece Prime with the Trailer worth $320? I know it's hell expensive and I could get it online for cheaper but I'd prefer buying it in person because I get the product right away and I know what exactly I will get.

I got that boxset at TTP Target for $48 about a month back, why do Targets have different clearance prices from store to store? Makes it hard for us to report sightings/prices when they vary. Glad I got it though, Crumplezone is alright, his alt is cool and decent bot, but Prime rocks! (imo) I don't have any Cybertron stuff, nor do I plan to, but just as a Prime, I love it, and actually prefer it (red and black) over the original Cybertron Prime (red and blue).

I know how you feel about Masterpiece Prime, I wouldn't be too keen on mail for something like that. $320 is pretty steep, but yeah, if it's got an issue, you can take it back instead of paying for postage again to return it. I kinda got a dud from Target, as it turns out the Target-sold ones were basically re-taped defect returns from the Japan market (so I'm told), so mine had a fairly average paint app, a couple of issues with the leg extenders, both light pods missing, the attachment plate of the energon axe missing, and slight wear on the chrome tanks on the legs. So getting one in person would be very handy in case anything like this occurs. Unfortunately for me, it was the last one Target had, so no swappy for me =o(

I found another set of i/c truck twins also at colonades i think- either big w or kmart. Spotted 1 bludgeon which is now mine from Big W and a ROTF Lockdown at Kmart.

Saw 1 Bludgeon at Big W Seaford along with a Mindwipe, Recon Ironhide (which I bought :D) and a heap of Starscreams.

If anyone is still looking for Bludgeon, Seaford Big W now has two on their shelves.
I also spotted a few legend Wheelies and Soundwaves there.

Big W Arndale's replenished its stock, added in typical deluxes like ROTF Deluxe Sideways and ROTF Deluxe Sideswipe. Still many Voyager ROTF Starscreams and about 100+ ROTF scout class figures. Seems like the demographic around Arndale prefer buying scout class figures. Also I saw a few Deluxe Animated Soundwaves.

There are heaps of RotF NEST Brawns, Lockdowns and Ratchets at Kmart Noarlunga along with many Battlefield Bumblebee/Infiltration Soundwave 2-Packs.

Noarlunga Toys'R'Us haven't got much new except for the Voyager Optimus primes repackaged in Robot mode.

Unfortunately no. There was Thrust, but I thrusted and got him right away.

Went to rundle mall and centerpoint target today,

Well, all the stores but Toys R Us had nothing new stocked.

Toys R Us Rundle now has the Shanghai Showdown set for $60, and one ROTF VOyager Bludgeon (at full $50 though), also a Deluxe Thrust if anyone was interested but there are still PLENTY of Recon Ravages!
