I didn’t pay much attention the the regular 25th primes, but this box is bigger and looks like it comes with a DVD too. :/
Also spotted 2x classics mirage at a fairly big Toyworld. One box was open at the top but nothing seemed to be missing. They're hiding below the other Deluxes. There’s a lot.

Pillows in the city... I rarely go in to the cbd, so by the time I do, they'll be gone...
If they are a comic store (previews) item, they should be able to special order them in if they are still available from the source.
Big W in Brisbane City:
TFA Deluxe figures
Jazz x 1
Elite Guard Bumblebee x 1
Swoop x 1
$23.88 each. I grabbed the second Swoop, hooray.
Did a circuit of Pacific Fair yesterday, nothing special. Toys R us was pretty much crammed full of Movie figures and Animated leaders.
Kmart has plenty of leaders, voyager lugnuts and Deluxe Sentinels and Swoops, tho all the Safeguard packs are gone.
Myer is also full of leaders, 25th Prime's and $40 Animated deluxes.
Tho if anyone here collects Star Wars, a bunch of the fans choice figures from the TAC line just randomly appeared on the pegs, they have the various black repaints of the troopers and Zev. Also they're going got 16.95 which is better than their new rate for SW figures of 29.95....bastards.
So pretty much Leaders are shelfwarming everywhere, which is the stores own fault for making them unjustifiably expensive >_<
Actually, it's Hasbro's fault with their wholesale prices being twice US wholesale. The stores have the same markup percentage with the larger items as they do with the smaller ones.
Myer Indro
6 x Ultimate Bumblebee in box packaging $149. :rolleyes: bargain!
Since theres no QLD thread for potential shops I'll use this thread to ask, where are the best places to go toy hunting on the Gold Coast? I'm heading up there next week for a holiday and wouldn't mind searching for some new toys like the new Activators. I'm aware of Titans Tower in Southport and then theres Pacific Fair but are there any Toyworlds/Toy Kingdoms on the GG?
Check the toyworld.com.au website and look up their stores locations. There are at least a couple there.
If you get a chance you could check out Titans Tower. I've not been to the store itself but the staff at brisnova were pretty friendly, and they did have some good TFs. :)
Anyway, the address is
Australia Fair West
Young St, Southport
Yeah, there's Toyworlds all over the place here (Tho I must warn you their stock has been pretty poor recently), and various Kmart's, Targets and Big W's, tho Titan's Tower is the only place on the coast with imports, in fact its even better than any of the Brisbane shops since those don't tend to carry much TF stuff...
where abouts is titans tower and what are there prices like?
Tinyjazz posted the address above. It was deleted, but I restored it because someone wanted the info from it.
cheers
Whoops! Now I'm embarrassed :'D
Anyway!

Two Kmarts I have visited recently have restocked Universe Special Editions, and Universe Superion and Bruticus box sets as well.
Yep, saw about half a dozen SE Universe figures at Kmart Sunnybank yesterday, so Kmarts seem to be restocking them this week. But still at $38 each though. Toyworld/Toykingdom is cheaper at $30-35.
They used to be located in the older section of Australia Fair, on Young Street, but have moved further down the road now, just past the Department of Health and then a florist/hair-dressers.
There's a toyworld in Southport, in Australia fair. You could hit the two stores in the one shopping trip.Quote:
but are there any Toyworlds/Toy Kingdoms on the GG?
As for new sightings though, Toyworld Runaway Bay has the new 25th Ann Legends figures for $7.99. There's 2x Brawn, 1x Beachcomber, 2x Bumbles. I passed on them as they are likely to turn up at Woolworths like the last series (which means I get them free, because I sneak them into the weekly grocery shop!). I would imagine you'll see them at other Toyworlds in the next week.
Strange though, as I thought Cosmos and Wheelie were this wave as well. Cosmos I can understand being a fan-favourite, but who the hell would buy 2 sets of Wheelie the most hated character in all of Transfandom? :eek:
Oh, and for the record, I'll be buying Wheelie :cool:
The character's hated, sure, but he is a part of what made G1 what it was, so therefore deserves a place in the collection.
I'd like to see some other unpopular characters get a Universe release too for that matter...guys like Twin Twist, for example.
toy world at indooroopilly has ALOT of special editions 1,2,3,4.
Dont really know if anyone cares just thought i would post it.
The Toyworld at Australia Fair has the next Wave of Animated, Blurr, Swindle, Blazing Lockdown and Bumblebee, That's the first release of Bumblebee, not the Elite Gard, btw. I picked up Swindle and Blurr.
Yay New Transformer Love!!!
saw mighty mugs at toyworld Indro, only had a Megatron And Soundwave for $20 bucks each, didnt bother getting them as they look crap.
Well i have managed to find nothing, i guess it was a good timne to take off as nothing seems to be around.
have seen those mugs at indro as well they looked so bad but i still should have gotten soundwave any who toyworl in the city has a race car track transformers style with bumblebee and barricade just letting you guys know whats still out there you never know.
Spotted at toyworld:
Universe:
Smokescreen
Hound
Dinobot
Cheetor
Animated:
Blurr
Blazing lockdown.
mv75 which toyworld did you see them at all of them or a specific one just asking thanks
North side, the big store. :)
Seeing as how these are pretty worthless to scalpers, I'm more inclined to give that more obvious hint. ;)
BTW, don't try for hound, I got the only one. :) There were two smoke screens and two dinobots though and at least one cheetor.
Hey man, I can't seem to PM. Can you please PM me the location? Like, exact store? :P KEEN for new toys.
kmart in indooroopilly had hound, g1 starscream , chettor, and cyclonus.
i got cyclonus,hound, and starscream there how ever is one cyclonus left and cheetor, am not a big fan of beast wars thought i might give you guys a heads up.
Yep, I checked out the "big northside store" and man alive, its got EVERYTHING. All the new Animated and Classics spotted, excluding Hound.
Drool.
Did we ever get the repait of classics Powerglide?
