Went to Impact Comics today to check for Henkei's & Encore's. They had a huge amount of stock but their pricing was crazy on most things. I picked up a Encore Metroflex for $169.
Other stuff they had were:
Encore
Omega Supreme - $249.99
Skywarp/Thundercracker - $149.99
Minbot Set - $59.99
Henkei
Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Tankor/Octane, Galvatron & Ironhide - $49.99
MP Thundercracker - $249
I wouldnt advise getting anything from these guys unless you cant find it anywhere else.
yowza, they're charging 100% more on that place ei, Omega?
That's typical of Australian import pricing due to all the import taxes, duties, levies etc. slapped on by the government. I have a good friend who used to work at an import store who explained it all to me one time but it's way too much for me to remember. ;) But if it shelfwarms long enough we might see it get slashed to move dead stock. I remember when God Ginrai was shelfwarming at import stores here and they slashed the price down to $20.Quote:

For example, Hasbro reissue Inferno, Prowl, Tracks etc. were initially selling at TRU for $75 whereas I saw importers in Sydney and Perth selling the Japanese reissues of those toys for $85. For an extra $10 why wouldn't you just buy the import and get the chrome, proper working missile launchers, tech specs card, file cards etc.?! Then Sydney importers slashed the price of TFC reissues down to $65, making them $10 cheaper than TRU!
After the imports all moved TRU then finally started slashing their prices in a desperate attempt to move their dead stock - I saw prices reduced down to as low as $25, but even then the stock moved slowly probably because most collectors had already gotten the Japanese reissues at a similar price (or cheaper price if they were ordering from Japan via dealers like HLJ!).
Had a look around yesterday, but couldnt find him anywhere :(
Anyways Toyworld Fyshwick has
Universe Treadbolt - $39.99
Universe Prowl, Sunstreaker, Galvatron & Acidstorm - $24.99
and thats all I checked prices on. They did have quite a few of the Universe legends figures though.
Hey guys! Im new, living in canberra. I work in the city, so Im always out at lunch doing the rounds to see if any of stores have something new! also Im out every second weekend checking both Toys R Us (brand depot seems to stock more than the belconnen store) k-marts, myers and toyworlds, and will be sure to post anything you may want to know!
ok, Big W in the Canberra Centre has 3 Cheetors, 2 Cyclonus and 1 Starscream.
Target (Canberra Centre) has a truckload of Rescue Ratchet, Stealth Lockdown and a whole bunch of new TF Universe figures!
can we please have a separate ACT thread for this. :)
I agree! its very difficult to filter out the ACT sightings from the NSW (which is most)
Okay. Just gimmie a day or two to organise it.
for anyone in Canberra, Impact Comics in the city has Animated Blurr, Swindle and Soundwave for $29.99 each.
is there hound cyclonis, inferno and the new animated figures around the act now?
cheers
BEn
toyworld have a bunch of ultimate bumblebees for $79.95. these are the first
batch in the rectangluar packaging.
they also have all of the universe robot heroes foR$9.99 incase anyone missed out on those.
i came up on sunday managed to get universe 2.0 hound, starscream and smokescreen, animated activator Thundercracker from toyworld, lucky i looked under the shelf on the floor otherwise i wouldnt have found hound or smokesreen.
but there was nothing anywhere else,
toys r us brand depot - must be the dumping ground as there was squillions of
old stock like blackout scorponak 2pk, movie voyager reapaints etc nothing really from the latest waves though
civic big w - nothing of note
target - just big daddy, jolt..... (got a stealth lockdown)
impact records - didnt have much at all..
belconnon- kmart - just a couple of universe Sideswipe
and toys r us - older animated deluxes...
gungalin - big W was totally devoid of a single deluxe
so that was my day trip
btw toyworld had pretty good prices as the deluxes were $24.99
shame they didnt have inferno or cyclonis.
Big W had the cheapest deluxes @ $23.99 but........... they were totally empty of them. :(
wow i didnt even know there was a toys r us in brand depot.
shopping time tomorrow :)
Hey, on a weekend trip to Canberra, I found nothing in Civic or Belconnen... until I had a quick look in Toys r us in Belconnen... New Animated Waspinator and Samurai Prowl.
Still no sign of Shockwave or Wreck-Gar though...
myer belconnen have first strike movie prime and the blue coloured ironhide
for $19.95, reduced from a marked up $59.95. have heaps left
ultimate bumblebee $89.95 in big W civic
checked impact comics the other, they are stocked in heaps of Alternity Convoy in blue red and silver, along with a lot of other exclusive takara transformers, Ill get the names and post them, sorry.
Alternity Convoy is $99.99
Target in Civic, have a load of Universe Inferno, & The 2 cybertron repaints, Prime lion and the other guy(the voygers) for $19.99. Picked up a few Inferno's for myself and some friends but there still would easily be about 15-20 left. Forget about the other two as they are just dodgy repaints :)
revenge of fallen toys now on sale in belconnen toys r us.
I noticed that also target in civic is stocked, and toyworld fyshwick has 'em all. prices are really good too!
for anyone intereested, Toyworld also has MP starscream for 89.99!!
wow toyworld getting some good prices these days.
did u manage to catch the price of the leader class prime?
Leader class are 79.99 or 89.99, not bad seeing as though most places have a price tag of 99.99
and Big W's leader class range is 88.73
just to confirm, leader class @ toyworld 79.99
nabbed a ravage today from toyworld, but thats all they had ( unless you are after the new gi joe movie figures, they were there very cool) , nothing new at big w woden or TRU airport for ROTF
was hoping to find skids or someone !
( went to see movie today, but almost at the end, the movie BURNED and everyone had to get a refund so not seen the ending, but was great IMO till then though! )
did they have more than the one Ravage you got???
and WOW! the movie burned out! thats harsh :confused:
GREAT! :) thanks heaps!!
no worries! during my lunch break I saw that Myer in civic have ROTF Ultimate Bumble Bee for an introductory price of $109, after that they are back to $199
sorry i wasn't around to answer the q, but was the only one i could find!
yeh burning movie not so great ! lol. but will go watch on weekend though so its all good!
so they had mudflap there today? darn, wasn't there yesterday... ! Was there more than one that you may have noticed?
Isn't the ultimate the same as last year? And think its cheaper at toyworld or somewhere else, being under $100
Checked out myres tuggeranong and they have a stand full of toys but alas, tis nothing new.
Kmart was the same, as well as Target.
Need to hit toyworld again it seems !
hey no prob ;-)
maybe the mudflap will be there, but wont hold my breath!
I kidna went nuts on the joe stuff as well, sorta.. showed SOME restraint hehe.
