AUD 50 I heard.
Robina KMart has a full set of the Hound/Sideswipe/Trailbreaker/Wheeljack wave (so two of each), and a single Skylynx to go with them. They also have the new wave of mini-cons (all the previous wave are now gone) for $9 a pop. They also have the mini-con deployer Overload that launches the new round balls
Found today at Woolworths Garden City, the wave 2 Rescue Bots Feature Bots (figurine with moving part) Optimus Prime... which came out with High Tide, but I couldn't find any others at this store.
It was $10, which is a bit much, as they are US$5 in America.

Myer Garden City got in the Voyagers Onslaught and Scattershot, but no other Combiner Wars toys for the sale that started today.
ToysRUs got in heaps of the first wave of 2016 Combiner Wars Legends, but suspiciously, all of the Shockwaves were already gone. There were about six of each of the other three, but no Shockwaves, so I hope it wasn't a scalper.
Those rescue bot things. I saw 3 different ones at woolworths in Beerwah tonight. Didn't see a price tag and aside from Optimus I can't tell you the character names. There was a white one and a green one though.
$10 each or two for $15. OP, Heatwave, Boulder and High Tide.Quote:

And they cut all three boxes open upside down, so all the Rescue Bots have to sit upside down in the slots or fall over.

Totally forgot until now, I'm sure at tru Aspley when I picked up arcee last weekend, they also had combiner wars superion and menasor box sets near the checkout. Anyone else confirm?
Myers Mt Gravatt has Wave 4 Deluxes for Skylynx (full set plus extra hound) for 19.99
Myers Logan Hyperdome has 6x Year of Goat Chrome Optimus 50% off, so now 104. Also one set platinum seekers
Finally!Quote:

They must have got in another case or two today as there were three of each and 4 Hounds & Trailbreakers.
They got in the Shockwave legends as well so now they finally have all the catalogue toys. Just not the latest ones like SkyLynx or Wreckgar.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016m06.jpg
Glad to hear you got your set Griffin, and it didn't sell out.
Yep... but still two left to find to finish the series...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/d125.jpg
Big W Strathpine has new legends, 2 each wreck-gar, shockwave, warpath, bombshell.
Crappy phone not letting me get a small ver on flickr, so photo here https://flic.kr/p/FQDwRa
Tinyjazz sent me a photo last week to post up, showing that we did indeed miss Wave 4 of the RID Tiny Titans.Quote:

My local Coles have Series 3 & 5 point-of-sale display boxes side-by-side for a month now. It was on special for $3.50 last week IIRC.
Wait... aren't you in Melbourne? :)Quote:

It's like Coles don't have full priced Transformers anymore...
Last night I saw these sale tags, yet again, but since they are only modest savings, and it ended today, I didn't remember posting it up until tonight (when it is too late :o ).
(we used to have a few people working at Coles, who would have seen these sales when they start, instead of the last day like I've been finding out about them the last couple of times)
RID Tiny Titans, at about 13% off.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016c09.jpg
And the RID Legions at about 15% off.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016c08.jpg
(still pegwarming all those Fixits and Sideswipes)
Not as good as the previous 30% off prices, and I can't work out why they have such odd sale prices and sale percentages.
Anyway, onto something worth noting... Kmart Sunnybank at midday yesterday, with a heap of new Rescue Bots and SKY LYNX - the first one I've seen or heard about in Brisbane.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km12.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km13.jpg
The new Megabots (used to be called Epic), High Tide and Optimus (the cab portion of the RB Optimus toy that is still lining the bottom shelf of that first Kmart photo above... but with both being $39, you get the trailer for free with the older version).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km14.jpg
The new trailer Heatwave and Chase, who appear to be the new regular toys sold with a trailer (neither of these two regular toys have been released here yet).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km15.jpg
Plus, the new "Friends" Minicons, Drake and Servo (who is in the cartoon as High Tide's pet, and later Cody's pet).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km16.jpg
As for the regular, transforming Rescue Bots, this wave isn't new here, but I wanted to include a photo anyway.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km17.jpg
For those in the Sunnbank area, the independent toy store near the Cinemas (which was half filled with KO toys), is now gone. They were never really a source for Transformers, other than the odd Movie toy... or Dong Man. :p
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/b732.jpg
What says creepy more than giving an underage child a toy called 'Dong Man'?!?
LOL! Dong Man...
It's a rocket ship... it's a submarine... it's Dong Man!
And a restock on the Combaticons
Coles Sunnybank finally got in the 5th wave of RID Tiny Titans after many 30% off sales... so I probably won't see another one again.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016c10.jpg
Kmart Sunnybank - just four days after I sighted all those new Rescue Bots toys, most of them were already gone. The new large High Tides and Optimus, the Chase trailers, and the regular sized bots like the new Medix and Boulder.
And the Sky Lynx was gone as well.
New since the last visit were the latest wave of RID Warriors with Quillfire and Thunderhoof, as well as the 1-steps Springload & Quillfire.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km18.jpg
And some photos by Justowen yesterday.
Target at Garden City... this is their entire Transformers range - 6 Generations Legends. This is worse than BigW. It's almost like stores here are competing with each other to stock the least amount of Transformers.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016tg07.jpg
Myer isn't much better, with no new toys since their last restock at the end of March for their big toy sale.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016m07.jpg
And Kmart at Garden City, with the various new Rescue Bots toys that I saw at the Sunnybank store last week, except the Chase trailer set, which was also already gone. (seems very popular for some reason)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km19.jpg
If any one is interested in picking up the Stomp and Chomp Grimlock for around half the original release price, then Target Brisbane CBD is the place to be. May be worth calling your local too if the CBD is out of your way...
Saw this display this morning
http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/...psftunpbil.jpg
Checked out Kmart and Myer Sunshine Plaza yesterday and found nothing new at Kmart but at Myers found the G2 Optimus YOTG had gone and they had restocked the Soundwave YOTG with about 5 of them all priced back to their original of $299.00.
Big W Robina, and Burleigh Heads have Crazybolt minicon Deployers but no Wreckgar. Lots ofShockwave
Tinyjazz found the RID Tiny Titans wave 6 at a Coles store on her side of Brisbane, and sent me a photo for me to post up...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016c11.jpg
From Garden City on the 10th of May (I'm still catching up on things since finishing my BotCon write-up).
Target still had the same six toys from the photos I posted up on May 2nd. :(
BigW, which is always a surprise to see something new there after many months of little or no restocking.
They had the latest RID Converting Titans and 3-steps, and both waves of 2016 Deployers.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw04.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw05.jpg
One item that I could find discounted in the system was the GEN Legends... probably to make way for the new Titans Return toys.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw06.jpg
Kmart... the best range of Transformers at the moment, leaving BigW, Target, TRU and Myer in the distance.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km20.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016km21.jpg
Myer with it's increasingly shrinking range, now down to one shelf and two YOTG Soundwaves.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016m08.jpg
ToysRUs, also shrinking in shelf & peg space.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016tru12.jpg
Still with some Giant RID Bumblebees on the over-shelves.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016tru13.jpg
But the big surprise was walking through one of the younger toy aisles and finding an entire range of Rescue Bots, including two items not yet found anywhere else here yet - the two mini-playsets on the top two shelves (which MayzaPrime has also sighted in the ACT sightings topic).
ToysRUs might be more expensive to Kmart, but it is good to have a second Retailer stocking them for us who collects them, to have more options... especially on the rare occasions of sales (or for price matching).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016tru14.jpg
Also found this at ToysRUs... a returned Legion Thunderhoof, that had been torn out of packaging but then taped back into the bubble without trying to make it look like it hadn't been opened. Surely this shouldn't have been refunded by the store, as they should only be refunding items that are clearly unopened, or not damaged to the point of no longer being re-sellable.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/d158.jpg
Combiner Wars Victorion at TRU Maroochydore, along with G2 Superion and Menasor. Think this might be a national first?
http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0ostzer8.jpg
http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8ry3laiu.jpg
Anyone seen Stripes in Brisbane?
Saw Power Surge Bumblebee with Min-Con Buzzstrike and Sideswipe with Mini-Con Windstrike for $59.99 at ToyWorld today.
I would very much like Victorion, but at that price? It actually works out more expensive than if they were being sold separately.
Myer Pacific Fair has 2x Fortress Maximus, 1x Skylynx
Fort Max is now also at Myers Queen St Mall. $370ish. No TR legends at the moment.
This might be old news but big w has a clearance on devastator for $160, might be online only
Anyone seen Road Rage? TRU keep referring me too Aspley but they are adamant they don't have any and haven't received any.
As of yesterday, Garden City still only had MP Sideswipe as the only special thing in the last two months... they are the worst for stocking the imports and exclusives, but is the TRU store that has to cater to the largest number of people. :(Quote:

I have one in my sale thread (click on my sigature). PM me if interested.Quote:

Yeah. I live on the coast. Work in Brisbane. Called all the TRUs for Road Rage on Friday and nowhere had them so I didn't get the money out to get her, just Victorion thar Maroochydore put aside for me.Quote:
