You shouldn't have any trouble with Trypticon, except maybe checking that the lights and motor still works, as there's no KO of that toy to my knowledge.

Good chance you may have! It wouldn't be hard to spot me out; the clue is comfy Blue Shoes... :cool:Quote:

When I've bought things from there, they usually pull out a guide (want one!) of the figure and accessories to make sure i haven't been ripped off.
Not jumping to their defense, but interested to know what may be fake.
Only one that looked dodgy (to my knowledge) was the Shockwave, but I thought it might have been a diaclone or the radioshack version?
All Star is nice, havent been there in ages but a fair hike =(
I think the owner split from Comics R Us to make his own shop
I should clarify:
All the TFs in the display case by the stairs are obvious KOs, the "Shackwave" of uncertain lineage.
I don't recall seeing a KO TF priced for sale, but the presence of KO TFs in any store selling G1 toys, is enough to make me look twice and closely at any purchases.
That's toyco astro magnum (basically diaclone shockwave- but without the dia, or the clone)Quote:

Minotaur in Melb CBD has Cyberverse Commanders - Ironhide and Dreadwing from Prime
I guess a sighting, kreos at toyworld southland heavily.reduced.
prowl, ratchet, sideswipe $15
Megs.$25
Spotted this today at target chadstone, scanned it but no price, nor was the a tag on the shelf so unknown at this point.

The guy from toys was nice enough to give it to me for $20.....Quote:

Recently picked up and Arcee and Ratchet from Target Malvern Central and I must say that the Arcee is very cheaply made and broke when I took it out of the package but aside from that the joins had been badly glued and were really weak so just a warning to anyone wanting that figure, keep your receipt.
Hopefully get to Chadstone tomorrow morning to see whats there.
Heya Lp, any Arcees left?
This was 2 weeks ago and both Ratchet and Arcee were the last left. I was there last monday and they were only a few BB's left. Must say with the current Prime line Australia is not getting that much stock and the price hike is annoying.Quote:

Also of interest is there they are throwing out the big Optimus Prime Kre-0's for $29.95 while at Target in Bendigo the same set is still &129.95 (which is what I paid nearly a year ago dammit!)
Went to Toyworld Docklands,
No generations, a couple of TFPrid bumblebees, some cyberverse bases or whatever and 2 or 3 Optimus Maximus'.
I found Arcee to be a great sturdy figure so you must have a dud.Quote:

Both K-Marts and Big W have had less than 4 figures on the shelf (Cliffjumper)
Toy's R Us had about 7 Bees, and not much else.
With Wave 2 supposed to be out (still havent seen Arcee anywhere), FoC released, where is the love??
Is it only Toy Worlds that get new stuff? I saw Bulkhead at Myer months ago, but nothing has shown up anywhere else
I picked up my arcee and Ratchet as well as my FOC wave 1 toys at Toy Kingdom, which as far as I know is not in the same retail chain Toy World so I don't know that TF Pride wave 2 has made it past some smaller chain toy retailers.
That said, I saw one each of Deluxe Ratchet and Arcee at Target at Forest Hill only on Friday night (sorry guys, I picked them up for someone I knew was after them). Whenever I go to a shopping centre I'll have a wander down the toy aisles to see if there is anything new, however I've not seen anything past Wave 1 TFPride nor any FOC toys at Kmart, Big W, TOys R Us or Target, aside from Friday night, nor at any Toy worlds near me (forest hill and mountain gate).
Hopefully, if Target Forest hill had wave 2, we'll start seeing wave 2 appear at other Target stores as well.
Toyworld at Southland has this for $40.Quote:

I think it was about two years ago that Toyworld bought/merged with Toy Kingdom, but since each store is an independently-owned franchise, individual store-owners may have been allowed to rebrand to Toyworld or keep the Toy Kingdom branding (depending on which they felt worked best for their area).Quote:

Pretty late in the game, but if you are still after Kreo Optimus Prime (the big one with a trailer) Toy kingdom Fountain Gate had about 10 left at $34.99 each (a full $100 off!).
All 3 first wave FOC deluxes at Target City. $22.40 with the current 20% off. Only one Jazz left though.
http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9...guy1o1_500.jpg
Target Chadstone as FOC as well for $22.80 each.
1 jazz
2 shockwave
3 optimus!
Nabbed foc jazz from target Waurn ponds yesterday for the sale price. They are on the bottom shelf, mostly all tucked in behind one another :rolleyes: I actually quite like jazz, can't wait to repaint him into something obscure and g2!
Legion Bulkhead, Evac, Soundwave and Mirage spotted at Big W Waverley Gardens.
Thanks Paul,
gonna go get Shockwave soon.
Target Malvern has a couple of FoC Optimus and Shockwaves. Plus Prime Arcee and Ratchet. The latest Botshots and the usual shelf warmers.
Target Knox has the same FoC figures in sale, picked up shockwave :D
no FOC stuff at target watergardens :(
but FOC stuff was at Target Sunbury, the HAD 2 Shockwaves 1 Jazz and a bunch of Optimuses but i nabbed a shocky and the jazz :)
For those looking for FoC stuff, don't waste your time at Target Highpoint. They got nothing
Similar story at Target Northland
Ringwood target, big w and Kmart all had ratchet and arcees in stock :eek:
FoC: Op, Shockwave & Jazz in Target in Swan Hill.
Also the big Bot Shot packs with both the Op & Megs trailers, Brawl, BBee etc
Hey,
Anything left at target city? Dad said there was nothing at all.
I found the FoC combaticons at my local Toyworld. $30 each though.
Awesome news! Hopefully Target/Big W gets these soon :)Quote:

Big W had DOTM Leaders on clearance for $75. Target had those DOTM Tin book cases in a clearance bin too, just under $20.
Target had the new DVD volumes Prime "Alien Threat" and the Remastered G1 2.2 collection (nice "exclusive Australian" cover on it too with the new s2 characters).

I checked at city target on Sunday- no FOC. But I think they restock on Tuesday, so I might have a look.
