I'm pretty sure Phantom Zone was the only comic store down here. I work all thru town everyday and i haven't seen any more stores open up.

There's no comic stores in Wollongong anymore. The Phantom Zone store there closed down several years ago.Quote:

If you're after comics, it would be probably be cheaper to online shop then drive to Sydney. That's if you know what you're after.
Yeah - Phantom Zone died a slow death. I think the Kings Comics deal is pretty good.
Kmart Penrif have also expanded their TF section.
It has tripled in size, with there being 8 pegs of Animated deluxes, 4 of Universe Deluxes, 3 or Universe Legends, and the shelves underneath chock-a-block with Universe Voyagers and Leaders, plus a couple of Animated Voyagers (mostly Prime).
It was the fullest TF section at a Kmart I have seen since just before the first live action movie was released...
ROTF preview Bumblebee and Soundwave at Target Shellharbour. $28.99ea. About 6 or 7 of each.
Ditto @ Target Carlingford. 2 Bumblebees and I grabbed the only Soundwave that was there. :p
WHAT!!! Looks like my wife will be getting ROTF figures for Mother's Day from my kids...Quote:

darn their beginning to show up, that means I have less chance finding Waspinator locally , sigh.....
Hey Liege
I saw a few Waspys at Hobbyco in the city last time I was there a couple of weeks ago, prob a bit expensive though at just over $30 something.
Saw a lone Waspinator at the same TRU I found the ROTF pack.
So months after everyone else, the KMart and TRU in Chatswood have Waspinator and Samurai Prowl from animated if anyone is looking for them.
Damn, I just want bludgeon (glad I skipped the original)Quote:

Forget America, Universe Voyagers are cheaper than that in the same store.Quote:

So no Wave 1 ROTF figures being found in NSW yet? Damn, they seem to be on early release at Target stores in VIC/SA/WA...
I wouldn't worry too much; they'll be available everywhere next Saturday, I;m not going to give myself a stomach ulcer over it.Quote:

And besides which, any Target that's put them out already is proving the spectacularly high caliber of it's workers - the boxes are covered in stickers that clearly say "DO NOT DISPLAY UNTIL MAY 30", they're also positioned over the seams of the box at the top, so there's no way they can open them without seeing the sticker.
But, you know, literacy rates :(
saw a few ROTF whirl and bludgeon tandem at TRU Chatswood the other day
Found about 7 preview ROTF Soundwaves and 2 Bumblebee in Target in Charlestown Square. There were no prices, possibly because they weren't in the system. Also heaps of Animated Leader Magnus for $39.
I didn't buy any just yet - I was keen on Magnus a while back, but over him now. Even at $39..not encouraging me. lol
Uncle Pete's at Manly Vale had quite a bit of ROTF stuff yesterday. Deluxe Bumblebee, Soundwave, Sideways, some autobot jet I can't remember the name of, voyager Ironhide, Starscream, Demolishor, leader ops and megs... I think that's about it.
Sorry, I can't remember how much... I didn't buy anything. :o
Kmart Burwood Westfields NSW have them for sale now but at the normal RRP (i.e. not at the sale price).
Had plenty of Gravity Bots, Leader Ops and Megs, Voyagers and Legends.
David jones chatswood have Scout class $19.95 knock out, rollbar, dead end. Voyager class $49.95 optimus prime, starscream, demolishor, ironhide. Robot activators $29.95 megatron, bumblebee. Robot heroes. No leader class sighted.
still nothing out here in western sydney.
as of today, all shops that sell toys at Liverpool westfields are running dry of animated, universe 2.0 and TF07 movie stuff. may get lucky with re-stocking the shelves for thursday night shopping.
as of last saturday, Parra westfields. all shops that sell toys are either bone dry from tf toys or overflowing with animated, universe 2.0, and TF07 movie stuff.
as of yesterday, Blacktown westpoint and kmart. all shops selling toys are pretty much the same as Parra shops. Target is very very low on tf stock so you might get lucky with a re-stock for thursday night shopping.
as of monday, both BigW and Target are running very low on TFs, target had about 10 of each of the preview figs but theyre all gone now. again, may get lucky with re-stocking for thursday night shopping.
im heading out to parra westfields on thursday before i head into uni and ill be at wetherill park on friday so i'll bring and update on the shops there
good hunting everyone. any one else got any western sydney sightings yet?
Went out to East Gardens today and saw Big W had both Megatron and Prime Leader class figures for $88. Voyager Prime, Starscream, Demolisher and Ironhide. Also had lots of the deluxe figures like dirtboss. Didn't pay to much attention to them sorry.
Checked with Target and spoke with one of the guys who recons they are putting out all there ROTF stock tommorow (28May09) after having to pull it off the shelves a couple of weeks ago as ordered by Hasbro.
Target Castle Hill has ROTF figures. Scouts, deluxe, voyager and leader classes. Fast action battlers...
K-Mart is releasing them tomorrow 28/5
Target miranda, We put our ROTF stuff up today after the green light from Hasbro was given. We got leader class megs and optimus, voyager starscream demolisher, ironhide and prime, deluxes, scouts, robot heros, FABs and 15%off until saturday.
By the way I read a post on here yesterday about staff being illiterate and not being able to read release dates. This kind of ticked me off, especially considering the majority of stores that broke embargo was thanks to management. not regular staff.
If the staff brought the embargo dates to the attention of the managers when asked to put the stock out, then my sincerest apologies to you, sir.Quote:
