BIG W Toy Sale 26 June - 9 July

[colin78]

So far I've only seen the Optimus Prime vs Predaking two pack (and heaps of it) at a couple of stores. Is the Shockwave & Bombshock pack around?

Also has anyone tried purchasing an AOE deluxe with the sale prices activated? I was wondering if they have been discounted too but just aren't in the catalogue?

I've been in a few stores helping with their toy sale prep, and I've opened a dozen of the 2 pack cases and all 6 in each carton was optimus vs predaking so far.

Disappointed to find out that Classic Batman Batmobile is just plastic. I thought it would of been diecast.

WHAT? I was thinking of picking this up for my wife, as for some reason cheesy Adam West Batman is the only Batman she likes. I haven't seen it yet in store, but based off the picture and price of $75 I figured it would be diecast. Boooooooo!

Those were two different waves in America, but I was hoping that we would get both here... or at the very least, the Shockwave/Bombshock set as it was the one being featured in the catalogues and on Hasbro's exclusive listing.
But it does seem that the second wave 2-pack of Optimus/Predaking, is the only one being found here.

It's 6" scale. While overpriced (everywhere, by Mattel), the Big W price represents a pretty good buy of this TRU-US exclusive.

Robin was only available in a two pack. I bought a second two pack (I have the whole 66 series that have been released so far) purely to display inside the Batmobile, as the two-pack have wires in the capes (which I've since removed) to display them "walking up the wall" on its side, as the show was shot.

However, Robin has never had a carded release (notice he's not on the back card!) individually.

AFAIK (from what I've seen) the Big W case assortment only includes wave 1 (Batman, Penguin, Riddler), and not wave 2 (Joker and Surf's Up Batman) or wave 3 (Catwoman), nor the two pack.

BBTS seems to have Catwoman (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...26&mode=retail) and Joker (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...40&mode=retail) in stock, as well as the complete wave 1 and 2 (no Catwoman!) (http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...39&mode=retail).

My thoughts? Return the figures to Big W ($30? LAME!) and buy the complete set of wave 1 and 2, plus the Catwoman figure from BBTS, POL it to arrive whenever, and try to chase up the two pack from eBay or somewhere.

Definitely buy the Batmobile from Big W - shipping from an international seller is far too much to bother about when you can get it locally cheaper by the end of it all - totally the opposite of the figures!
