Cannington has them I believe.
I was out this morning but couldn't go as far as toys r us as I had a child in tow. Was looking for the prime voyagers big w has fir 20$ but couldn't find them at Gateway or Livingston.
wow that was quick, I wonder it was all allocated to online shipping.
we must have killed ourselves paying more. They refused to ship to my parcel locker despite is a very safe process. had to ship to my office.
Yeah i think the online store is killing the store purchases. The soundwaves weren't even on display!
I'm in store now at Cannington... A guy grabbed one after staff located it from the back (none on shelf), but none left for me! I actually asked him if he's on the forum but he said not. I do wonder about allocation to online purchases.
The guy that took a look out back for me strongly suggested I jumped on my mobile to buy one now... So that's done, $11 shipping for me to Manning.
Ha. I just got home from there and saw a bunch of guys running around who I assumed were there fir the same reason. I did see one guy clutching one but didnt see anything else on the shelf. I bet you guys were both there at the same time as me ...
Well, when I say guys I mean, like 2 of em. So....
(I tend to exaggerate, I've been told that a million times)
Huh. When I was there about 10.30-10.45, there were none on the shelves. Wandered around looking at other stuff, went back to the TF aisle and there were two S'waves there. Lucky I guess (until the wife sees how much it cost :eek:)
Just got my order dispatch email
Good chance of that - the guy I saw clutching one was Caucasian and somewhat overweight. I am thin and asian, wearing glasses today :)
Guess I should've left the house earlier... I was there around 12:05. I definitely would prefer to pick it up in hand as opposed to getting it at the front door and questions of 'is that ANOTHER Transformer??' :rolleyes:
When I had a look at the shelf I didn't even spot the price tag, nor any space where he would've been sitting... super fast stocking or boy-look??
Just ordered 2 and shipping was only 9 bucks for both
But my order says it out of state
So must have run out in WA
Yep, I saw you and the other guy. You were going crazy on your phone ordering it online I guess :)
I didn't see a spot for it on the shelf either. But at least we both got an order in, mine was 9$ shipping and I'm in Atwell which is father away than Manning. Makes no sense.
Man, this is SERIOUS! Just checked TRU online and looks like MP Soundwave is no longer available!!
It's a bit of a difficult debacle for TRU I reckon, if in fact stock is being allocated to online and not being sent to stores. You want to move the stock but at the same time, store traffic increases sales as a rule. Maybe not for this case as it's mainly crazy collectors like us, but for others.
My wife keeps on putting ideas into my head that they would end up Going out the back and selling stock that has been paid for via online but I keep telling her its crazy talk.
I don't know why she's doing that. I know I won't rest easy till I get this delivered. It's the entire reason I got back into Transformers in the first place..
I am fine with no acid storm.
Mine however had varified over the phone on my delievery address and they sent a confirmation on the address so I think mine is as good as I gotten one.
Anyone used the voucher code? It says no longer valid.
What will be a game changer is that now online is no longer available.
I don't know. It didnt really seem to be that limited. eBay seems full of em. It's just crazy the small numbers we got over here.
On a different note has anyone seen any of the prime voyagers for 20$ advertised in the BigW catalogue at all? I tried Livingston and Riverton to no avail. I don't know if its just Optimus and Megatron as it shows in the catalogue or if there's more of them. Not as exciting as Soundwave I know but 20$ Voyagers!!
0 from TRU Morley. I think its been very biased that they think nobody wants it in Perth. But this has always been the case.
That's nothing new though is it? In any hobby/interest or pastime.
Hey all, long time lurker, but finally bothered to frequently check this site.
You guys were a good help these last couple of days, due to FIFO if I had waited till tomorrow (as my fortnightly ritual) I would of spent the entire day wondering around Perth looking and not realized I must out on this guy.
Ordered mine this morning from the website and shipping to Mandurah was $12. When I rang around yesterday day all the stores said the generic 'Yeah its coming soon' but I managed to get out of the store guy at Morley that they had received a pallet Wednesday morning and they were going to get around to opening it last night. Guess they must of had it ...
Again cheers
Sometimes you wonder that they left it sitting behind and "hey lets bring it out now." lol
Apparently Innaloo have none left as of 8pm.
