    Thanks for the heads up, certainly good information to have.

    But if it's correct it's a brave move for Big W to try and get rid of the massively shelf warming RotF figures they didnt get rid of for $12, the aniamted Swindle toys left over and the few PCC early waves still on shelves until the third movie is released.

    And all the better for the Wesfarmers owned stores.

    GAH! And so, the chances of picking up Jazz, Mindset, and Fallback seem to dissipate faster by the second.

    Totally unfair, given the already limited releases.

    All of those are Reveal The Shield toys. Big W is still getting those in, so there's still hope.

    Hopefully, but I'm not sure. The store I went to this morning said they weren't getting anything new in from Generations/RTS, as they were waiting for the DOTM toys.

    Maybe they were incorrect, but it's not exactly the most promising news.

    Oh, if they are saying RTS too then yes it's not a good sign. I've seen new RTS toys in a few Big W stores recently but RTS is only a short fill-in line before DOTM (only the two waves right and we were slow to get them) so it could very well be that if they get them in and sell them they wont restock them.

    Hi, This is not exactly correct. RTS is still an OR RP line (On range / Replenishment). These lines at this stage will continue to re-order when stocks get low automatically. Unfortunately the computer orders full cases so if there are heaps of shelf warming bumblebees, the computer will not order a new case.

    Generations is a Q7 line (quit). The computer will not order more of these. The only way there will be a re-stock is if the Buyer orders in bulk and allocates them to each store in australia, usually only for events or brochure. (eg special purchase)

    Just wondering, if grouping and importing like 2-3 figures of each wave, would it be cheaper compare to the shops?

    Depends on where you're buying them from and how much they're charging for the figures and postage.

    I generally buy an entire case of each Generations wave (from RK) and even with postage, each figure works out at about $20.

    Cheaper than retail and I'm assured that I get the figures (sometimes ages before local launch, if they're even released) and it saves me the hassle of running around hunting for them.
