Thank you for the offer but I prefer to buy from stores if at all possible, so there's some kind of local sales data that will hopefully encourage more releases locally, especially of the more special collector-y type stuff. Sorry, my phone makes random posts on the forum tiny so I didn't see your response yesterday!Quote:

They've been there for at least a week, so I'd say if that was going to happen it would have by now.Quote:

At Garden City last Thursday night (nothing major so it's taken a while to get to doing up the photos)...
ToysRUs have restocked their Voyagers (Sky Lynx) and Legends (Wreckgar), plus the recent wave of RID 1-steps (with Quillfire & Springload).
A single GEN Deluxe left (Swindle) and there aren't even any peg labels for it, so they must have stopped restocking for the upcoming Titans Return Deluxes.
MP Sideswipe looks to be the only import or exclusive item at this ToysRUs store, which defies logic, as this would be the store that has to cater to the largest population, covering all of South Brisbane and Gold Coast.

Target appear to have found two more Transformers toys, as there was an extra Legends and an RID Legion, after a month of just six Legends toys.

Kmart, still the best source for Transformers at Garden City. (BigW still had about the same as my most recent sightings photo of theirs, while Myer is about half of what was in my last Myer photo, including one of the two Soundwaves now gone)

Coles Garden City are still sitting on their 2014 Kreo wave 1... and were included in their recent 30% off sale (which ended today). No RID Tiny Titans though, which was odd, but maybe they won't get them in until they get rid of this box and a half of Kreons first.

At "Candy Time" store on the ground floor near the food court, which is an import candy & snack food store... Transformers themed Easter Eggs (four different tin eggs with candy inside) at $3 each, and three PEZ dispensors at $5 each.

And yesterday at Sunnybank Woolworths, a restock of RID 1-steps in the last week, of the 2016 wave 1 assortment. Looks to be the cheapest source too, being $1 cheaper than Kmart and $2 cheaper than TRU... but less likely to have a sale price though.

I also saw this at Garden City on the weekend outside BigW, which I never noticed before so could have been there for a while, as the one I saw in Melbourne was about 2 years ago.

Tru garden City told me that when they check their systems No one has listed any road rage for delivery to their store. They run that's very unusual.
Aspley keep telling me that they have no stock whatsoever although their system shows they have 5 in stock.
There were 4 Road Rage on the shelf on Monday at Maroochydore, $129.00 each.
Riddle me this though, how is Tracks $149.00 and RR $129.00? (I am pretty sure that was the price for Tacks)
Exchange rates. I believe the dollar was lower against the Yen or the Hong Kong Dollar around the time Tracks was imported, but had recovered enough by the time Road Rage arrived that the price was slightly lower.Quote:

Yeah she was $10 or $20 cheaper than Tracks when I bought them both from HLJ.Quote:

But be careful if you want to get a Sky Lynx from there during the sale as one was clearly a returned toy that was re-taped by the customer to look like it wasn't opened... but all the plastic ties were gone, leaving the toy to sit loose inside the plastic insert. So it could be missing something or has something broken.
Someone must have bought the retaped Sky Lynx as I took the last one today (crushed corner but still had all plastic ties), only Onslaughts left, and a few Deluxes.Quote:

Just found crazybolt at big w brisbane cbd. Still in its case box on a staff trolley. Happily removed it from its bonds lol :D $28

Big W Runaway Bay still have Generations Commanders for $12, but more importantly are putting out all new stock ACROSS the store in the isles, so lots of new toy goodness. No Fort Max, but so many others from the catalogue. I reckon a couple of days and it might be out.
Popped in today, about 8-9 of both Fort Max and Victorion not in toy section. They were on an end cap near outdoor stuff.Quote:

He's a hefty fellow too. I'm glad I didn't bite when I saw them at Myers for $379!
Did you check to see what price Victorion was right now before the sale?
Big W Kawana has some of the Power Battlers for $5 and also has a heap of Fort Max and Victorions.
bought mine there same yesterday afternoon，mateQuote:

Thanks. And for anyone like me MacArthur Square doesn't have any and isn't getting any.Quote:

Edit: scratch that. Went to Kawana today and they had 6-8 fort maxes, tucked in behind monster high playsets. If you find Victorion they're in the next big section along, to the right, tucked in behind everything.
So yes to SEQld. Runaway Bay still has them.
I found RiD Legion Ratchet and Blizzard Blue Prime in Woolworths. I think this might be the first Aus sighting of Ratchet? There was only one, but two blue Prime so got.one of each. I didn't realise it until I got home, but I don't think he's just a repaint of Strongarm - the head looks spot on for TF:Prime Ratchet. So I'm almost certain the head is a remold. Shame they couldn't put siren lights on him in vehicle mold though.
Yeah Major K i was going to say that i was there the other day and there were a heap of them. I posted about it to.
At ToysRUs Garden City last week I found the Tops Trumps cards that the Melbourne newspaper was giving away some of. At $10 for just 30 cards, I didn't buy it.

At BigW Kuraby on Friday, they didn't have any Fort Max or Victorions out yet, but did have the RID Power Heroes that are in the catalogue...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw07.jpg
Plus the most recent Deployer (Crazybolt), and some old RID Hero Mashers.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw08.jpg
As of today the Transformers sale items (and the big Lego sets) still haven't arrived at BigW Kuraby.
Victorion and Fort Max put out at Big W Strathpine now.Quote:

I found Tiny Titans Wave 6 at Coles Runaway Bay. Thought it was only wave 5 until I opened it up at home. Assorted characters include Minimus Ambus and Unicron, apparently.
Power Battlers in Brisbane CBD Big W for $5 each -> includes vechicon an the dump truck (though there was only 1 of each of these)
Didn't see any ghost busters set thoughQuote:

Since the beginning of this year, sightings posts that have been quoted in the first sightings topic have been from...
9 - NSW
9 - ACT
8 - QLD (now 7, as I swapped out one for your sighting)
4 - VIC (now 5, from your sighting)
4 - WA (includes one of your sightings, so there is nothing deliberate in missing your sightings)
0 - SA
0 - TAS
Victoria may not be at the top of the list, but it isn't being totally ignored either... and "southern states" take out the top two spots. Not to mention, QLD would probably be equal or less than Victoria if you took out my sightings of the more obscure items that I have to keep track of here that most others don't even collect to notice.
K-Mart Hervey Bay had a new G1 Soundwave T-shirt for $10 that wasn't there earlier in the week - must be a new arrival as they had about 100 of them. Great to see a Decepticon T-shirt as nearly all the ones I've seen before have been Autobot-themed.

That's an awesome Soundwave shirt! Going to have to track it down!
With the greatest respect, I do think you might be missing the point of the sightings thread. It's not about who gets recognised first, but rather letting people know which stores things are appearing in.Quote:
