Nope, I never received a call despite them taking down my details. Good thing I was able to get one online. My friend and I both put our names down on two separate occasions. Makes me angry. But at least I got one.

Tell me about it, On one hand they told me they cannot reserve the toy on the other when I went to the TRU I saw 3 reserved behind the counter? Double standards!Quote:

I had little to no faith in Majura park calling me even though two different staff members of which one claimed to be the manager had committed to doing so. I was just curious if they actually made good and called anyone at all? Seems not.
I was numbered among those with my name down from around a month and a half or so ago, but didn't get a call as such. There was one held(for which I am eternally grateful!!) but I did not know it had arrived, it was by blind luck in seeing the posts on here in time to get the missus to pop over and pick it up.
From what I was told on the phone though the names down outnumbered the units that came in!
It always amazes me how hard it is to spend money on things, its like the toy companies truly don't want our hard earned cash enough to keep up to the demand!!
*sigh*
Found Kreo 1 Dragon Assault & 1 Mech Venom Strike sets at Big W Tuggeranong both were suitably bought.
Big W also had TF Prime voyager Starscream
Kmart had 3 YOTS Optimus for $59
Credit where credit is due. Majura park had a restock of MP Soundwave and Acid Storm and have been calling people with their name down. Apparently once again, none made it to the shelves.
Yeah my mate grabbed 2, I was lucky enough to get 1 of those 2.Quote:

Kmart queanbeyan has quite a few
For those still looking, there were 3 MP Soundwaves at TRU Belconnen this afternoon on the shelf.
Belconnen TRU has one MP Soundwave in the bins opposite the TF aisle, for the sale price of $104.99 as at 12pm
Big W Civic had Cyberverse Hardshell...
Its apart of my collection now :D
Big W Civic and Tuggeranong both have 3 YOTS Omega Supremes
Big W Woden has Kreo Microchangers wave 3
Myer in civic has 2 Gaia unicron and Optimus packs. $99 each for those who are looking for them.
Tuggeranong Big W have YOTS Omega Supreme, they weren't on the shelf but I found them in a box about to be packed on the shelf. So if you missed out on this figure now is your chance to pick it up at retail price.

Gaia Unicron and Prime at Myer Belconnen $99

ACT Big W stores are now selling covenant of primus books. Best time to pick one up as they are on sale for $50, marked down from $68 I believe. I just picked mine up from gungahlin.
Big W civic has FE Optimus Prime for $68 and pretty much nothing else :(
I guess the retailers are wait for more movie stuff
Its being really depressing for transformers lately, last figure I bought in store was a long while ago. My recent stuff I've had to get from ebay. :(
I picked up Kreo Menasor and Computron from Toys R Us Majura park today for $17 they still have a few left. (They are located near the non-movie lego)
They also have the custom Kreo for $10 (These were on the Transformers shelf)
Bumblebee
Megatron
Optimus Prime
Ironhide
Starscream
But no Soundwave
Saw AoE Power Battlers Hound and Strafe at Gungahlin Big W today. Strafe looks pretty nice but boy, Hound is ugly.
They didnt have any of the AoE deluxes?
I checked Tuggeranong (Big W, Target, Kmart) nothing at all
Yeah, only the Power Battlers in Gungahlin, and only a couple left.
they had some of those new basic deluxes at airport big w
Big W Woden has more Power Battlers - Bumblebee, Hound, Strafe, Crosshairs. Presumably the other four characters are wave 2?
Belconnen had nothing new and the kmart transformer section was really bare like a giant empty space. My guess is they will have the new toys by the end of the week.
Toyworld Fyshwick unpacked their AOE stuff this arvo - deluxes, voyagers, power battlers, construct-bots. Plenty of everything.
When I got there a guy said "your timing's great, we're just putting them out", and then a girl came over and said "these are embargoed until the 17th, should we put them out the back again?"
I was all "Noooooooo! These are all over the country, let me have them!" And the guy said "Yeah, a heap of stores have broken street so we got permission to sell them early."
So yay.
Did you happen to take note of anything else they had there Maruten? I'm particularly after Beast Hunters Voyager Ultra Magnus?
I know were I am going tomorrow, and its pay dayQuote:

Woden Big W now also has the Construct-bots Dinobot Riders (OP, BB, Drift). $12 each, which is more than I expected for those tiny bags!
Still nothing else except the Power Battlers though.
Target Civic now has
- Power Battlers

2x Leader Prime
0x Leader Grimlock
