Well if it's any help there's some sky lynxes and ER prime's and SS Jetfires showing up on eBay for a mark-up.
There is four listings on ebay for Sky Lynx. All between $170 to $200 plus postage. So yes, does seem scalpers had got to them...
Oh, and three of those listings have two or more available.
If anyone stumbles across a SS Jetfire, I'll happily pay for it plus postage if you could grab it for me.
(Harder to find than Sky Lynx).
Cheers.
Good luck! I had to stumble upon someone selling it on FB to get one.Quote:

I just got a shipping confirmation for the Sky Lynx I ordered on the 18th. Looks like some online orders are being fulfilled at least.
Hey, likewise! Sweet, this might actually happen lol :)Quote:

And it has actually arrived. Less than 24 hours after getting the shipping confirmation. Ok, so it was delivered to the neighbours place after the Big W system auto-populated and over-wrote my address, but it wouldn't be from Big W without some sort of screw up along the line.Quote:

As with the others, I received the confirmation that my Sky Lynx is ready to be picked up from my Parcel Locker.
Even if your local Big W shows it has no Sky Lynxes in stock on the website, might be worth checking in person because the Top Ryde store said no stock for lay by, delivery or pick up. But i went there this arvo and saw two Sky Lynxes.
Now one left. :)
Four Skylynx at Big W Runaway Bay (now moved to near the front of the store), and plenty of Voyager Starscreams.
If you?re in QLD and fancy a drive, almost certain to still be there tomorrow.
That's because there is a buffer built in for each product. Once stock is below that level, it will not be available online or pick upQuote:

Ah, that's good to know. The odd thing was that I went to that store once before when the website already said it had no stock, and there were none. Then a few days later, I go again, and saw two.Quote:

(last sighting a few days ago reported only a couple left, so these are probably all gone now... hopefully most didn't end up going to one person to scalp online)

Katoomba only received 2
I bought mine online during the first day of the sale during that short period where I could, and while the website was saying only one store in Victoria had some. It was shipped out of SA but from an industrial area near the airport (a Big W distribution centre I guess) rather than a store.
SS Sentinel Prime Construction scrapper spotted at Big W Craigieburn.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2020/062601.jpg
More people are finding SS Voyager Sentinel and Scrapper at BigW stores for $35, as it is one of their regular size classes (the Leaders are unlikely to restock as they aren't a regular product line for BigW).
Also... since the sale is on for 2 more weeks, which means 2 more weeks you can use their catalogue for price-matching (if you find a store with something you need that price-matches), and if you still need a copy of the toy sale catalogue, check out a Woolworths... as the one near me has hundreds of copies at their registers.
I used ebay price beat to get the leaders but only good if you intend to buy more from eBay since they refund the difference in a voucher
I haven't heard of this.Quote:

you just have to go into chat and ask if a item can be price beat before you purchase it if it can be they will generate a voucher for you after you buy it.
it has to be the exact item but i was able to do a single earthrise optimus leader listing to the bigw selected at random listing, just keep trying different chats if someone says they can't.
Thanks for posting this. Just picked up Scrapper from the Dapto store.Quote:

I'd recommend getting Studio Series Leader toys online (like Amazon), as the are really unreliable at retail here. The ones at BigW for their toysale are wave 2 from 18 months ago... and we haven't had any of the later waves here.Quote:

It's almost like someone at Hasbro knew that something bad economically was going to happen in 2020 (the virus) as they only had planned ahead to release just one Leader toy for 2020, compare to 5 planned and released in 2019.
Thanks for the heads up. Strange that the Voyagers are pretty up to date yet the Leaders are so far behind but I understand they are harder for retailers to move at their price point.Quote:

also i was wrong about ebay price beat ending seems to be ongoing indefinitely till noted.
its a bit hard to match single items cause of bigw's assorted but its possible just gotta keep trying different people on chat.
also the vouchers can be used to buy gift cards so you don't have to worry about expiry dates.
We didn't get SS-32 Optimus here. We missed out on two waves of Voyagers here (wave 4 & 5) and had limited stock of a third wave (wave 3).Quote:

if you get desperate you should be able to easily price match this on ebay.Quote:

Myer had heaps. Though their price matching was hit and miss.
