it's pretty disappointing that they are not getting Predaking in but at least now we know and can order it elsewhere.
I'm pretty happy about the studio series and POTP leaders $68, but I'll be even happier if wave 2 pops up during the sale.
Pretty disappointing, not just from the TF (or lack of) perspective too.
Some better sale prices on some PS4 games than in the recent sale.
And the Voltron complete sets are interesting. I quite like the Netflix version and might go get the classic version.
Also added into the first post, a scan from page 2 of the catalogue, detailing their new 10% price-beat offer, only during the sale period.
Thanks Griff. Appreciate it.:)Quote:

I wonder if you can order the SS series Leaders online and actually pick which one you want. I had to walk away from Grimock and Blackout when I saw them a month ago for $99 in TRU - don’t think I could resist them at $68 :)
I hope Blackout sells out by the time my toy sale shift starts at 5pm or I'll be walking out $68 poorer.Quote:

Some excellent prices on end of 2017 games, really top deals for books and some outdoor items too. Other than the hulkbuster and the pirate rollercoaster, nothing interesting or wonderfully priced in the lego section. Transformers is pitiful, but that is to be expected, how many times have the retail chains been burnt by Hasbro reps pushing insane amount of wave 1 movie lines that never sell???
Sure that those who collect all the blind packed figures will be happy, apparently they've got some great prices.
I agree. That's truly an underwhelming sale. Nothing in there for my kids (other than maybe a Sega Mega Drive and some Switch games).
My son has the Voltron lions. We brought them individually but they combine into Voltron. He absolutely loves them so if you're into Voltron (old or new) they are definitely worth looking at, although I got them for considerably cheaper as they were on sale at Wal-Mart in the US last year when I was there for US$10 each, US$20 for the black lion.
Nothing exciting at all in the catalogue.
People have been wondering about why no Predaking... I think Devastator was good early for them, but Trypticon and some of the others did shelf-warm for a long time, most were moved via clearance sales. Maybe they were burnt and going a bit gun shy now...or maybe its just not ready for release.

I'm spewing with the lions, I bought them separately but least this box set would have given me something to store them in plus a far cheaper price (let alone US prices) :/
Generally no, if an item listed on the website is grouped with others of a similar type, such as all PotP deluxes sharing the same page, you get sent however many you order at random, no guarantees which you will get.Quote:

Yeah I suspected as much. :(Quote:

Completely agree with you there. I will add that if you get a figure you dont want from these random purchase pages you can go to any store and get it exchanged, but it sort of defeats the purpose of shopping online when you end up having to go to the physical location anyway.Quote:

Check out the reviews on YouTube.
It's absolutely fantastic!
Working headlights, suspension, sits a 6 inch figure, POV camera, etc.
The thing is humongous! :eek:
I'll be picking up a couple studio series deluxes, leader prime and maybe the PotP Dinobots if they are in stock.
I was going to wait to see if there was a dinobot exclusive set for SDCC but maybe I should buy these now and return them later if something is announced.
Saw leader rodimus unicronus? At big w tonight
:D Hasbro of course.Quote:

If you can still get any Titan Returns, it's $10 at the moment. Managed to get Quake at Waverley Gardens Big W. There's a few Twinferno and 2 Kroks still left.
But it looks like my local Big W removed all those TR stocks already :(Quote:

Is that confirmed or speculation based on the fact big w aren't advertising it, I suspect SOMEONE will get them but very lateQuote:

Myer is the only possible stockist for Predaking at this point out of retailers that have previously stocked Titan Class Transformers.
awww crap not what I wanted to hear, guess TLTC might be my best shot although they haven't had a perfect track record with me by any meansQuote:

Hopefully that means that they are getting in new stock of the Deluxes too... as that previous single sighting a month ago of wave 2 looks like an error, due to no other sighting since then. It would be good to see wave 2 and 3 here at once, to get all the Terrorcons and Dinobots.
Well so far no stores where I frequently visit have gone past their initial allocations apart from one toyworld getting more POTP deluxes of wave one and those won't move forever now because the ones I visit never changes their prices.
But the big w's kmarts and nearby targets have been nearly depleted, they're due, I just wonder how their stock system works, its different to where I work (automated restocking system) but if you're sitting on 2 stock either theft has occurred or they have to manually order stuff or hasbro is really slow to send stuff out, so I expected restocks far sooner than now.
Whatever the case vic stores are 100% due, if they aren't out or low its the fact I've never seen a leader in store at big w so i expect to see something closer to next week
I’m very thankful BBTS let’s you cancel an order if it’s within a week of it dropping into your POL as I’d just paid $65US for Black Rodinus and that’s before shipping. $68Aus with no shipping sounds a much better deal :DQuote:
