That's a first sighting I reckon!

Just grabbed the Marvel Crossover 2-pack from epping TK
Target City Melbourne.
ROTF movie preview Bumblebee and Soundwave.
About 6-7 of each.
Not exactly new figures, but Target Reservoir had about 6-7 Magnus figures at the $39 price, one Leo Prime at $20 and one each of the Stealth Lockdown/Rescue Ratchet with Legends set for $34.
Lots of Animated Magnus at Target FG as well and Universe deluxes only; no voyagers left.
TK FG has got the new ROTF Pre-release Bumblebee and Soundwave too at $28 and Marvel Spiderman/Ironman 2pack at $65. I think I also saw 1 Universe Stormcloud left and unsure if there's 2 new SWTFs but doubt they are new.
(will upload pics tomorrow)
Kmart has got nothing new but there's an Activator Ratchet scanning up as $13.
Had anybody noticed the entire toy section at City BigW is under renovation...
Hope they're making more space for more TFs...:rolleyes:
target forest hill still have 2 infernos and 2 leo primes...
target ringwood has 1 overload and 1 leo prime and a sea of leader class magnus...and only 1 leader class megatron tucked away behind it all...
Iceburn & I spotted a bunch of ROTF toys at Target Chadstone today. They had the first four Scouts, some Legends including Prime, Bumblebee, Jetfire & Springer, a bunch of Robot Heroes, some Voyagers (Prime, Starscream, Demolishor, Ironhide) and some FABs, which were mostly repaints.
Just got word that Target's already pulled these from the shelves.
God-freaking-dammit!!! Got to Chadstone Target and the store drone informed me that not ten minutes before he had taken everything off the shelf. All I got to see was empty shelves.
Like a pirate I exclaimed. "ARRRGGGHHHH!!!"
What time were you there?? I did the exact same thing....
pinched a price tag as proof....
but the interestin gthing was the one for the legends.... they must be in the system as either the old movies figures, or just priced wrong..... coz the ticket said 0.68!!!!
very interesting.... PHEW!
luckily i got all 4 scouts and 3 new legends (except bumblebee)
wanted to get the 5 2pack Robot Heroes but once again budget constraints
moreover the Voyagers is highly priced at $49.99 and FABs and Pre-released deluxes aren't that great to buy them now.
DIRGE!! nice hauls yeah
So they sold some of them and then took the rest of the shelf? How weird?!
:confused:
Sounds like some naughty employee must've shelved the toys before the official date (which is printed on every case) and then a manager must've noticed and pulled them off -- otherwise they can get in trouble from Hasbro. I got my first Revenge of the Sith toys like 5 hours before the official release date - the store manager told me not to tell anyone about it until after midnight. ;)
dirge called me at work from Chadstone to tell me what he'd found -- I was joygasming so hard at my desk that my colleagues were shocked and looked at me as I was gasping all the oxygen out of the staffroom. They thought that someone just had a baby and their looks of baited mutual joy quickly changed to stunned shock when I told them that it was over a new wave of Transformers toys; they'd gotten themselves excited for nothing. :D
Not much at High Point. TRU has the Animated Leader + Activator for $69.99, but that's still not as good as Kmart's $39+$13, but TRU did have Megs.
TRU is nearly all '07 movie toys. Myer had a Cyclonus, Smokescreen, Dinobot.
EVeryone seemed to have heaps of Universe Ultras, but no Universe Voyagers
Does anyone remember what is at Big W/Target/Kmart at Southland last time they went? Won't have a chance to get down there til later this arvo.
Jus went Southland yesterday but i didn't look at BigW
Target has Universe deluxes, some Movie deluxes, old Robot Heroes 2pack, Animated Magnus, 3 Animated Activators (Megs x 2, B. Lockdown x 1) and prob some others that i can't remember
Cheers Iceburn :)
All of the above-mentioned ROTF toys were spotted at Target Bayside in Frankston on Saturday. I picked up all four scouts and signed up on this forum to let you folks know (I also posted the info on TFW2005 as I'm already a member there).
Thanks and welcome!
Kmart - Vic garden Animated leader Ultra magnus for $39, saw it yesterday.
ROTF went really fast :(
Kmarts animated leaders $40, universe voyagers $36
Samurai prowl and wasp @
Knox TRU
all aņu. Leaders most places :p
Ihec wandered where u went
Not much at Northland, but ROTF galore (Previews, Scouts, Legends & Voyagers) at Target Reservoir. Only 1 of each Voyager, except no Demolisher. Lots of the rest. Target also had LOTS of Voyagers at $19.99, but as usual just Inferno, Leo and Overload.

P.S. They also had FABs and larger, non-transforming bots, like the size of that big Animated BB
That's where my Demolishor came from...
:D
i find it funny Optimus carrys a big old Irish guy on his back (potatosacking)
legends Optimus and Jetfire
A Target store in Geelong has already released and started selling ROTF figures, I saw demolishor, bumblebee, soundwave, prime (voyager), most of the FAB's, lots of robot heroes, and voyager Ironhide which is no longer there due to med buying it!!!!! I dont know how many are left but if anyone is planning to go to geelong soon...it is the Wesfield Target store.
Voyagers were 50$ and Deluxe were 30$
also plz dont go cause im going back to raid the rest of them
Jaydisc, that display is interesting. It's like the one they had for the Robot Heroes a little while back. Have others found the ROTF toys in Target stores on the actual shelves or only in these special displays? Or a bit of both?
It's the same selection....
From my knowledge of store receivings, this is probly only a Target related display, with a set number of each figure on each stand. That's why we aren't finding the Wave 1 deluxes.
Also, stores i've seen it in DIDN"T have shelf space, and stores with shelf stock only had this stock with no display stand....
So what happens is they move it onto the floor to save space out the back, or break it down if no space on the sales floor for it.
But i've also noticed it's the stores doing stocktacke atm that have the figures out, and if they aren't doing stocktake they don't have anything out.
THis could be why release date was broken....
Did a wide radius run today from Northland to Knox to Chadstone.
Northland TRU and Chadstone Kmart had Universe Legends Brawn, Beachcomber, BB (Classics) Legends, plus the Animated ones in the previous wave. I didn't find the newest wave anywhere, including Safeways. There was one Wasp/SamProwl pair at TRU Knox, but I didn't have cash. There was a lone Treadbolt at TRU (but $50!). Target Reservoir still had plenty of $19.99 Voyagers, but none of the other Targets did.
Infernos, Leos and Overloads. I have a spare $20 Inferno if you want it.
reservoir has ROTF voyager Prime, cleaned out of ROTF
