I blame the likes of One-step Changers and Fast Action Battlers. Not sure why Hasbro want to take the transform out of transformer.

No POTP at Mr Toys Indro or Jindalee yet.
Both of these products transform though.Quote:

Hey, keep to your side of the border... :pQuote:

Also from Nsw and just happen to be up here on holiday :p . Some decent stuff at stores from what I’ve seen up here so far, any good recommendations of places to check out?Quote:

It begins.
Well... you're both welcome to have a quick look at my collection if you end up being in Brisbane during the long weekend. Otherwise, it just sits here collecting dust, and no one else gets to enjoy it. :pQuote:

Keep in mind though that Griffin's "collection" consists of other transformer fans who he invited to see his collection.
If I had access to a car and some spare time I definitely would! Might have to hit you up next time I’m up because I’ve seen photos before and it’s an impressive collection to say the leastQuote:

Morayfield has nothing though. Their stock truck on Friday didn't have any.
Wow, I totally didn't know that Mr K and you've saved me hours of fruitless toyhunting. Thanks heaps!
Looks like Helensvale and Southport are the only stores on the Gold Coast. I'm heading to Helensvale now and they confirmed Optimus is on the shelf. Hopefully he'll still be there at that price :)
He was. Voyagers and Rodimus remain, but didn't see deluxe so. They said they have more to unpack
No problem. I forgot they had the feature years ago. It was when I was in at Morayfield, they reminded me the website could do it. That's where I also found out they have the series under Primes rather than the full name.Quote:

Wave 2 Alpha Trion? With the yellow Landmine shell?Quote:

My bad, it was Vector Prime/Metalhawk. I always get the two characters confused Vector/Trion.Quote:

ToysRUs have moved their Transformers section again (twice in 12 months).
Nothing new though. They did have a couple of the final wave of RID Warriors though (Thermidor, Bludgeon, Twinferno).
http://toycollectors.com.au/2018tru04.jpg
Kmart - pretty much just heaps of TF5 mega 1-step Dragonstorm and Rescue Bots Optimus/Blurr trailer.
Target - almost nothing.
BigW - even less than Target.
Myer - surprisingly had more stock than the three stores above, but mostly older stuff. They did have one set of the last RID Warriors (Thermidor, Bludgeon, Twinferno).
http://toycollectors.com.au/2018m02.jpg
With people in other states spotting PotP in Myer, I thought I'd swing by the CBD store.
Not a sausage. Why does god let mankind suffer?

Thursday night Garden City.
It was as if a Hasbro truck stopped by this week and dropped off POTP toys to most of the stores in there, as I found them at ToysRUS, Myer and Target.
Myer - had POTP Primemasters, Legends and Deluxe. No Voyagers or Leaders (yet)... which was annoying, as I would have bought the two Leaders with the 20% off sale at the moment. I might go back Sunday if I get bored, but I doubt they would have arrived in the last two days.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2018m03.jpg
Target - Primemasters, Legends and Voyager. No Deluxe (yet) or Leaders.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2018tg02.jpg
ToysRUs - all size classes of POTP were there, but only one Legends left, and only Rodimus of the Leaders left... so people have already been jumping on these toys, despite only being there a day or two.
Their Rescue Bots range is almost gone though, as there were only three items left, and one had clearance stickers on them. I hope they don't give up on RB, as it was a good backup source when there was a sale, or if Kmart didn't have something.
I also looked for, and found, the TF5 skateboard that I saw show up on their online store a few weeks back - $25.

Kmart - almost no Transformers at all, so no point in a photo.
BigW - I saw two Transformers cases in one of their new stock cages and got excited, but closer inspection showed that they were restocking FIRST WAVE Movie Deluxes and wave 2 movie 1-steps. Both are a step back from the last replenishment (the pre-pack display) of wave 2 Deluxes and wave 3 1-steps.
It's just more really old stock to clog their shelves, preventing them from getting anything new like POTP.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2018bw07.jpg
And Peter Alexander - some of the new licensed clothing had arrived at the store. I was looking at it and one of the staff there asked if I needed any help, but then walked off when I said I was just looking, but made an off-hand comment about the pricing, in that they are made in China like Kmart's clothing, but these are ten times the price. She wasn't happy, with a very defensive tone rebutting that the quality justifies the price.

Oh, and Kmart Sunnybank on the same day - looking very empty now of Transformers.

But this time around I figured I would never see a Dinobot on a shelf let alone on sale so I pre ordered. Ironically I am now waiting waiting waiting.
At least you guys have some options to get this stuff that isn't online. If I want to buy Transformers locally my options are Kmart or Big W which locally are still only up to TR.:(Quote:
