Looks like Voyagers will be around $55. Leaders $99 and I think the Ark is at $299.

They are one of the last physical retail stores selling cd's let alone dvd's

Odd to see it all go

Yup, they're following Sanity's move into self-imposed-irrelevance. My local JB has cut down their CD stock by as much as 50% the last year. I do buy CDs, and prefer to do so, and that was my main reason for buying anything from them. Their slashing what they will stock has simply led to me buying from elsewhere. I know the nobs at the top say that they need to get out of CDs because CDs aren't selling, but so far as I can see the reason that (their) CDs aren't selling is because JB doesn't want to sell them. Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy...

Anyway, I'm not really going to go to them for Transformers if they do start stocking them here. There are plenty of other places with better prices, what I presume will be better supply, and what I know will be a better experience.

I rarely buy CDs from JB because these days they mostly don't stock what I look for. They used to have some rare gems for me, but it's mostly just the popular stuff now. I still head to my "go to" before the pandemic hit and they're online only for time being. Still buy blu ray/DVD, so I'll be annoyed if they cut their stock further.

Honestly at this point in time if you want a get a CD, you might as well:
a. Head to your local record shop (yes these things still exist, they'll die the moment music fans stop being a thing)
b. Buy online (although I guess you might as well get the MP3's or even stream it, but heck you know you want it physically)
c. If it's an older album, head to literally any Op Shop (or even School/Church Fetes at times), try your luck and see what hidden gems you can find. The majority of my CD collection is literally stuff I found 2nd hand for dirt cheap.
d. Head to Discogs (or eBay) and find it there. Honestly that's probably your best place to find 2nd hand CD's, and even 2nd hand Vinyl!

Alot of the time I buy directly from the band/label, and on bandcamp. Or Utopia Records. 2nd hand yea op shops and music fairs too, and markets. I miss doing all those
