say has anyone seen any cheetor, hound or cyclonus's lately in nsw?
Stormcloud, Silverbolt and Powerglide for $59 at Big W Plumpton.
Also had 3 Acid Storms, 2 Sideswipes, and a single Ironhide and Galvatron for $26.
O Stormcloud! how did it look in person ?
I was up at Avoca this week, and Erina Fair had quite a few that I hadn't seen before.
Target had the 25th anniversary Optimus Prime reissue, as well as what I think was a whole lot of Masterpiece OPs-I didn't look closely enough. There was also lots of Universe stuff.
Myer had a random assortment of stuff from Animated (Oil Slick, and first wave voyagers plus Leader Megatron), Universe (Galvatron, Sunstreaker, Ultras and Voyagers, including Dropshot), the movie (Armorhide), and even the Classics line (Optimus and Jetfire).
There was also a Toys R Us, but I didn't get to look there since it was closed for a stocktake.
Does anyone know when universe hound, cyclonus and inferno are due out? I thought it was supposed to be in January?
Thanks
Dave..not out here (Australia) yet.
they out in the states so maybe a month or 2 here :rolleyes:
Did the rounds of Hurstville tonight... wasn't much there.
KMart had older SWTFs and the usual assortment of overstocked Animated Leaders. They do have a couple of An Swoops and Sentinel Primes, at least.
TRU has boatloads of the usual suspects - the movie repaints, An Leaders, some real gear repaints and the Universe Two Packs. Oh, and the not-so-nighttime Animated Nightwatch Prime Bumper Battler thing.
Target had two Pink Primes and nothing else.
Didn't check out Grace Bros... couldn't be bothered (:
Thanks guys
Sighted the following at an import store in Sydney CBD:
+ MP Magnus (reissue)
+ MP Skywarp
+ MP Thundercracker
+ Encore Skywarp & Thundercracker
+ Henkei Skyfire
+ Henkei Ramjet
+ Henkei Starscream
...that's all I can remember. :p
Is it worth buying from there or are you better off using online shops/ebay?
It's worth checking out online prices. Import prices are expensive. The shop's in Haymarket btw so you could just walk over and check it out yourself. Aw heck, at their inflated prices I guess not many people would be wanting to scalp from them - it's Modellers World. :p
Thanks Gok, I'll check it out soon when I'm passing through C-town. I'll just go for the browse as they would be very expensive.
I think the prices will pretty much be in line with other non-specialist stores like Dymocks, i.e. very expensive.
at my local toyworld they had
a new wave of animated activator's $19.99
grimlock
dirge?
bandit lockdown
megatron
universe legends $6.95
brawn
bumblebee(not the animated one)
25th anniversary prime $100
shame i am broke.....
Milton Toy Shop (about 10 minutes up the road from Ulladulla, heading towards Sydney) had the new Legends, both 25th anniversary and Animated, as well as the next wave of Activators: Dirge, Grimlock, Megatron and Bandit Lockdown.
Since it is a private store, prices are more expensive, the LEgends are $9 each, the activators $23.
Missed out on checking Uncle Pete's at Nowra who are often pretty good as they do not do late night Thursday trading.
Kmart Mt Druitt had the standard fare, finally getting in Swoops and Sentinel Primes, still had over a dozen Animated Twin packs, and 3 S.E. Megatrons.
Were selling off the Screen packs cheap, cannot remember the price, and they were also advertising the Optimus and Bumblebee 2 packs for a sale price, but could not find a single pack.
And strangely the Mt Druitt Kmart is opening for longer hours, from 8-midnight during the week and till 7pm on the weekend...anyone else have a local store opening longer hours?
Big W Chullora has restocked with earlier Universe deluxes including Prowl, Sunstreaker, Galvatron and Octane.
K-Mart Broadway has a row-thick wall of Ultra Magnus (Ultra Magnuses? Ultra Magni?) which have been there since December, and some Commander Cody SWTFs. There's also a big 3-pack of Starscream, Arcee, and Optimus Prime that was aroun in November. Evidently they couldn't sell it, put it away, and have now dragged it out in case anyone wants to buy three toys for about $200.
Ultra Magnus is beginning to annoy me, since it's occurred to me that, while loads of him are sitting on the shelf unsold, new product (read: Grimlock) isn't going to be restocked anytime soon.
Big Ws Rockdale & Miranda have some of the newer SWTFs - although none have all three. Rockdale had Grevious (I nabbed it) and still has (as of yesterday) the Tie Bomber and the Yellow Ring-Fighter. Miranda has the ring fighter.
Not much else in St George/Sutherland Shire, although I didn't check Menai.
I saw a few grimlock in EastGarden last weekend.... cant remember if it was BigW or Kmart
Hobbyco QVB had:
-All Universe Special Editions
-25th Anniversary Reissue Optimus Prime
-Universe Ultras Wave 1 and 2 and Voyagers wave 1
-Safeguard pack
-Loads and loads of Ultra Magnus
-A headless Leader-class Brawl
-Cybertron mode Megatron
-All Universe Legends up to wave 3.
-Loads of Robot Heroes
-Activators, including Grimlock, Megatron, and Bandit Lockdown.
Phew.
Sighted:
Universe Sunstreaker
Universe Silverstreak
Animated Optimus Prime Cybertron Mode
Animated Ratchet
Animated Autobot Jazz
@ Target Carlingford.
TFM Incinerator and offRoad Ironhide at Kmart Mt Druitt.
No idea on prices as I couldnt give a rats about these figures.
Some were on the overflow shelf, some were hidden in with the Screen battle sets keychains and bouncy balls.
K-Mart is only getting Incinerator now? Wow...
Its been a while since i made a post so i thought id make it count!
Yesterday i saw at a local Kmart - Universe Cyclonus, Hound, Starscream and Cheetor.
Awesomesauce. I've been thinking about getting Incinerator on account of his unique alt mode, but consigned myself to having to get one off eBay in a few years when I can be trusted not to spend all my money at once there.
Incidentally, K-Mart Broadway has, in addition to the Great Wall of Ultra Magni:
-Jetfire/Jetstorm pack
-Universe Galvatron, Silverstreak, Ironhide, and Sideswipe
-Movie Optimus Prime/Starscream/Arcee threepack.
-Animated deluxes wave 4.
No voyagers from any line. They'll likely show up later on.
K-Mart Bondi Junction had one each of Voyager Movie Prime, Ironhide, Incinerator and Evac this morning.
This annoys me.
The only store in Penrith that I have seen pretty much all the new figures at is Toys R Us, and the bastards dont do laybuy anymore.
Mite go buy a few every pay to get em.
You'd think they would considering they sell some expensive playsets, bikes and furniture. haven't been to Penrith TRU for a while, and only ever rarely, since they put their prices up after Cybertron. I miss the days when old stock from other stores was sold off cheap, like $25 Alternators.
I miss the days when I could buy a Deluxe for about $15. (-_-)
