TF DOTM deluxes at The Reject Shop

Remember a little while back The Reject Shop had $10 Reveal the Shield and Hunt for the Decepticon deluxes?

Well the latest catalogue is advertising a "Huge range of boys and girls figurines and toys" "from $5 each".

Pictured is DOTM Air Raid, the green one, who was a later wave toy that was a rare find in Australia. Be on the look out at your local stores and report your finding and prices.

Also pictured is a Super Hero Squad two-pack (Iron Man and MODOK) and Thundercats figures.

Update:looks like the whole wave has been spotted for $12 each:Air Raid, Dark Steel, Specialist Ratchet, Armor Topspin, Cyberfire Bumblebee and Nitro Bumblebee.

I keep a lookout and if they indeed they are $5 I take him.:D

It's from $5... I'd expect $10 but will update the first post as we know more.

Looks like 6'' Panthro in that picture....and series 2 Mumm-Ra....

Hey - by coincidence I was there today and didn't realise it was a new thing. They have DOTM Deluxes - Air Raid, Steel... um... Quickstrike, Red Ratchet, Grey Topspin and two flavours of Bumblebee for $12 each. I was very tempted by Air Raid and Steelthingy, but am trying not to spend money on unnecessary Transformers. (This was in the Cooleman Court Weston Creek Canberra store.)

They also had a good range of Thundercats for $10 each.

(Okay, the toys' names may actually be Air Raid, Dark Steel, Specialist Ratchet, Armor Topspin, Cyberfire Bumblebee and some other Bumblebee. There may have been more, those were just the ones I remember.)

Edit: The other Bumblebee was Nitro Bumblebee.

Great prices considering what most of us who have those paid to get them from the US (or the Japanese version of Darksteel).

I quite like Air Raid which I'm sure I testify to in the review thread. And I love the Quickstrike homage although the toy isn't so hot.

More interested in the Thundercats figures than the DOTM ones...

Their last sale of Generations came to WA a week after the eastern states.
I've had a quick look at the WA catalogues on line and couldn't see the DOTM figures, so I would expect them over here in the next couple of weeks.

Wonder how long till PRiD stuff turns up on their shelves. The big retailers around here are still on the first wave of PRiD.

It doesn't give hope for the future of Hasbros Transformers line when everything eventually shows up at The Reject Shop. Even when other brands such as Thundercats show up there. :(

Just went to burwood reject shop, already being put on the shelf. Looks like only 2 boxes for 1 shop. Air Raid X1, Dark Steel X1, Specialist RatchetX1, Armor Topspin X1, Cyberfire BumblebeeX2 and Nitro BumblebeeX2.

Reject Shop in Traralgon VIC had all of the above + Mudflap.

Darn. Hopefully some stores have some leftover RTS.:o:D

yep in batemans bay to. was happy as it meant i finally got an air raid

It is well and truly 'eventually' though - these are 2011 toys.

I wouldn't worry about it, this practice has been going on for years in the States. it's common over there for lines to turn up in discount stores, 12 months or 2 years after being on mainline shelves. Just like in this case here, it's often toys that missed standard retail due to overstock of earlier waves.

It's not necessarily a bad thing either. it moves unwanted stock off mainline shelves leaving room for more new stuff and it makes things available for those who may not have been able to afford it the first time, or have put off buying something because the after market is unreasonably high.

I grabbed Darksteel and Ratchet from The Reject Shop today, wasn't planning to get Ratchet but he looks kinda a nice in red and white.

Anyway I think that this is leftover stock from the US. On the back there are Hub stickers which I don't recall seeing on Australian stock.

This exact allocation was at forest hill SC tonight, but air raid came home with me :)

Highpoint today, 2x of each BB, 1x ratchet, dark steel, mudflap, air raid. Bought the only Top Spin, others are ugly in robot mode imo, especially air raid and dark steel.

Add-on, opened Top Spin, oh God, Should of went with another one.

went to the sci fi and toy fair today, got zilch, walked into the reject shop and walked out with 3 figures. at $12 a pop, cheaper than chips

Altona Reject Shop has a flame Bumblebee and Mudflap.
Also spotted heaps of packets of 2001 Bionicle cards?:confused:
