The TRU website now says the discounts are 30% to 50% off. That means action figures will be 30% off.

I have seen a couple at both Doncaster and Knox.
Some photos from the Garden City store tonight...
The 30% discount signs were now up, as of today.

And recycling of the 20% signs, with updated discount prices...

All of the non-toy items are also for sale, but not until they are near the end, when almost all of the stock is gone.

Their sign writing skills need a little help though...

The Doncaster TRU had them on the shelf, the Knox store had them behind the registers. Maybe Miranda has them somewhere else.Quote:

I cant tell if their prices are worth it, considering fixtures at most stores would be old and well used. I like the idea of having it look like you have an actual part of the store, with sealed items, especially if you have original 80s toys.Quote:

I like the idea of a fixture for nostalgias sake, but I don't' actually know what I could get that wouldn't get in the way.
With 9 days to go, I don't see Barricade and Thundercracker hitting Perth, so if any WA members are after them, I'd suggest they see if an east coast boardie can help them out.
Found a Titans Return Skyshadow. Couldn't help but grab him with the 30% off. Glad to have him in the collection now.
Someone literally beat me to the TF5 advertising banner. I ended up with a smaller TF5 advertising board (90cm × 45cm). FREE. :)Quote:

Which seems odd, because the one at Rutherford literally has a For Sale attached to it. I can snap a pic of it, and you can contest it with them if you want.Quote:

Got this beauty from Castle Hill Toys'R'Us today. Had to pay for it but figure well worth it for an officially licensed piece of Toys'R'Us/Hasbro/Transformers/Optimus history. They apparently had a cardboard cutout of Optimus too which was already sold when I got there - did anyone here get it?
There were also a few Barricades and Thundercrackers left for anyone still needing them.
Thats awesome Bladestorm!!!!
Went by Highpoint TRU in Victoria yesterday. At least 5 Thundercrackers & about 10 MP Barricades that I saw if anyone is interested.
(Some douche obviously thought 30% off was not enough. A member here pointed out an empty Star Wars Black Series Kylo Ren box.)
Was there a price tag?Quote:

Must be one of the reasons why they still keep a security guard hanging around, some of the time.Quote:

Shelves are getting pretty sparse.
I did see Hotspot and Cindersaur at Kmart Chadstone this weekend, which was a nice surprise.
$150?Quote:

For real? I know TRU is trying to recoup some $$ but c'mon, that's insane in the membrane. Not even worth that new, let alone every man, woman, child, porn star has had a turn rubbing up against Movie Prime. Don't tell me you peeps didn't do that.Quote:
