sifun, don't you have a car? doncaster is highly accessible to anyone and TF hunting won't kill you.
$100 for an MP4? If possible, can someone pick one up for me (I'm after one in good condition or better, still double sealed) ? I can transfer funds via netbank or paypal if need be :) or a meetup in the city when I pass on my universe figs to everyone else. PM me !
City myer seems to have finally put out some more stock.
They had about 8 Universe Ultras, only Autobots though
which Ultras? Silverbolt and Powerglide again?
Toy Soldiers eh.... so are you hurt?
pity that you won't be joining us for lunch meets then :)
doh.....................
Anyhoo,
Big W: Crap load of Robot heroes if you like that sought of thing.
Not sure which wave it is, consists of arcee and "red" rumble, iron hide and kickback, primal and rhinox, etc.
MP-04 sold out at Waurn Ponds Target... I guess their clearance price worked! Oh and if anyone wants to know, as long as the store as stock (and your receipt is within the time limit for returns) you can bring in your receipt and get the difference back, at least that was basicly what I was told when I asked at customer service.
hmm do i want to drive down to mornington to get one.........
Haha... you guys crack me up. Seriously, Mornington isn't that far... it's 13 kms from Frankston (maybe 2 or 3 suburbs). They have more copies on the shelf than they did before christmas... so some of those babies have been sitting in the back since they were released!!! Most of the boxes are in better shape than the ones available when this toy first came out in Target. And for less than $100.
On a side note... Is everyone just looking for an extra or two at an amazing price or do some of you not own this toy? Genuine question, just really consider this one of maybe 3 or 4 toys that are a must own.
are there still some in mornington, cause i rang this arvo while at lunch with icy and they said they had none.
im interesed in getting one to paint :P
need a nemesis for my prime
the fact is we just love your signature too much that must get more prime... *hehe*
Yesderday at 12.13pm I purchased 2. There were 12 on the shelves, 4 across 3 deep. I'm guessing there would still be some there... but it is pretty cheap and entirely possible that someone cleaned out the other 10. I would go down and see but I did not enjoy the drive yesterday... seemed to catch every red light.
just kidding my friend....haha
loving them everyone bit. i'm sure gok has a number of pics of all his primes and bumblebees and others figures bunch together
went around looking for MP 4s, went to the pines, and got myself the remaining ones, mornington only has 1 instock when i checked, left that there incase someone planned to make the trip.
if anyone is interested, i picked up an extra one for the sake of it, and happy to let that go for the price i purchased it for. just pm me.
and if anyone is interested, when calling up target to see if they have any instock. the code is "42977605 convoy" that way they will know what your on about. just a heads up for those who have called and have been unsuccessful.
wow! :eek: good catch! :)
i arrived with the shelves already empty with no MP04 at the shelves.
it was lucky that blackie placed 2 on hold yesterday. hooray to him...
so he reserved, i picked them up
well that was lucky then :P
good i made sure i got 2 on hold, rather than chancing it :)
Was at Big-W (CBD) this arvo:
Animated Jazz x 1
Animated Swoop x 1
Animated Sentinel x 1
Animated Lugnut x 3
Animated Grimlock x 1
Animated Blitzwing x 1
Universe Powerglide x 1
Universe Silverbolt x 1
Crossover Hulk x 2
Probably at least a couple of movie deluxe figures (which I didn't bother taking a good look at :o)
And one tray filled with Robot Heroes (which again, I also didn't bother looking too much...:))
Btw, anybody been to any TRU lately?
if so, kindly post what can be seen on their TF shelves as I have a $50 TRU gift card just waiting to be spend for a good TF toy..
:)
Lockdown and Soundwave Bumper Battlers spotted in the CBD.
Hoppers Crossing Target:
Nothing new, TFU Ultras and Combiners, TFA Leaders and Deluxes, some other tidbits like Robot Heroes.
Corio KMart:
TFU - Deluxes: AcidStorm x2; Ultras: the first 3; LOTS of TFU Legends wave 1 (come to think of it though, I cant remember seeing a Hound, just Tank Megatron and Jazz).
TFA - Deluxes: LOTS of most released so far, mostly the current wave (Swoop, Sentinel, etc); Voyagers: Noticed a couple Blitzwings, Bulkhead, Lugnut and a few others; Leaders: At least Megatron and I think Magnus.
Various Robot Heroes, sorry cant remember which ones.
Belmont KMart:
TFU - Deluxes: Sunstreaker, Prowl and Silverstreak (more Silverstreaks than last time, so I'm guessing they're getting regular stock, just keep missing out on an Ironhide); Ultras: All the usual suspects; Combiners: Superion
TFA - Deluxes: TONS of latest wave (Swoop, Sentinal); Voyagers: Not much, nothing recent for sure; Quite a few Safeguards; Leaders: Magnus for sure, cant remember seeing Megs or BH
nice...finally someone from that area....
Unfortunately it wont be for much longer. My wife and I finish work here within the next couple of weeks and then after a bit of time in the Melbourne area, we head West. But I'm glad to post what I can while we're still here. :)
