Yeah I spotted the Generations Deluxe Line at Big W Arndale too, only had Thrust, Autobot Drift and Cybertronian Bumblebee. No Prime seen :( Oh well, since I'm on a budget I only grabbed Thrust and Drift. The plastic quality on Thrust seems a bit more brittle than Robots in Disguise Ramjet, which are almost the same body mold except for Thrust's back wings and hover packs. Has anyone else noticed this somewhat subtle change in plastic quality recently in the newer lines of toys? (even my ROTF Deluxe Thrust had tighter parts and loose wings than his retool counterpart Breakaway)

Also grabbed some Tomato Juice as well to try it for the first time, and let's say - I don't intend to drink it in a very very long time...

I saw the knockoff WST Fort Max, Bruticus and Protector in a store in Elizabeth Shopping Centre. I might pick them up next week. I didn't want them when I saw them and now I do :)

That's what they had when I went there this afternoon, and now they don't have any. :cool:

They also had Voyager Seaspray and the Ratchet repaint when I was there.

Local Big W now has power core combiners and hunt for the decepticon scouts and voyagers.
Im still undecided on them.

When i got back from Sydney i managed to spot some of the same at Big W Elizabeth. I just happened to stop in at Myer at the same Suburb and snagged a ROTF dirge for a very impressive $23.98 (impressive for Myer anyway). Not much more as far as new stuff is concerned there.

No new Generations figs at Big W TTP :(

But I did finally see the Legends ROTF Devastator pack... $49?? Seriously?! I realise that Legends are normally $7 bucks each (so, with 7 figures, $49 is the right price), but whatever happened to saving money by buying in bulk? :rolleyes:

Needless to say, I passed... might wait til it's on sale - although it looks a bit meh anyway.

Yeah I'd wait till Devastator goes on sale. I bought it full price the other day - it's okay considering that there's 15 modes (7 robot, 7 vehicle, 1 devastator) total but it doesn't look as accurate as the supreme class version. I'm actually considering getting the supreme class when it goes on sale, even if each part doesn't have individual robot modes. I'm just that size-picky :D

Leader Starscream at Parafield Toyworld for $99.99, I passed... Only leader I paid $100 for was Buster Prime. They also have the Battle Hooks Leader Prime (same price as SS), PCC 5-Packs on sale for $29.99 and the singles for $14.99.

Oh yeah, they also had those G1 Bumblebee and Cliffjumper torches (seen at K-Mart) on sale for $5.99 (down from $15.99). I forgot to get one, I just remembered =oP

They had 2 each of the 2 available packs, but I bought 1 of the Bombshock packs. Was so close to getting the other one, but I wanted to save as much as possible for Saturday, then get the second pack afterwards if I have any cash left. According to grif, they are going to be that price when they show up in Big Wubbleyou's anyway.

Moving on to todays' sightings, at Elizabeth Target I found a 2-Pack of Wave 1 RotF Voyager Prime (with the bronze ancient symbols on it) and Movie 1 Bumblebee mould with the Stealth/Battlefield headsculpt for $49.00. I took a photo, but cant find my phones' usb cable -.-
