Titans Return toys arriving in Australia

[Batfan007]

does anybody have any kind of guess at what the Titans Returns toys will sell for in traditional stores such as Kmart, Targer, Big W etc.

Particularly:
Titan Galvatron, Blaster, Astrotrain

The two waves of Headmasters that include the bat dude, wolf, guy, the generic robot dudes (sorry, I forget their names)

The reason I ask is that online preorders are up on various sites, but the prices are all over the place. For example I've seen Titan Headmaster Blaster for $55 preorder and $100 AU preorder.

That's just nutty variance in price.

Any clue what these specific toys will sell for at normal retail brick and mortar stores?
Yes I've read the generic price thing on this site, but it doesn't really help in this case.

Just a broad guess, but most likely similar to current Deluxe, Voyager and Leader RRP prices: Deluxe $30, Voyager $50, and Leader $100

Most of those characters are quite unique (at least the monsters), so I doubt there will be very much repainting opportunity for Hasbro. Given that repainting opportunities are low, they should be trying to generate the most revenue by selling at great volumes. I see the chance of getting all of them at sale prices (20-25% off) to be quite good, though I'd most likely go for Takara's releases pending reviews of differences in quality to justify the additional cost.

I spoke to a few Toyworld store onwers (Mandurah and Cockburn) and they aren't getting them until September apparently. Big W and Target staff don't know a thing ...

Cockburn WA or elsewhere?

And thanks Suspectimus. I'm gonna wait for retail releases, as I don't want to pay outrageous prices for them.
and now that I've finished buying my CW figures, and ordered Titan Max today, I can sit back and wait for these considerably cheaper toys.
I really only want Astro, Galvatron, Bat-bot-man (mindwipe) and the other two animal themed headmasters that are based on the G1 toys that sell for too much.

[requiemau88]

Yeah WA.

[Batfan007]

Yeah WA.

Oh, that's the toy world I go to. Well that one and Fremantle as both are local to me.
I bought a second onslaught there last week as he was marked down to $40, and I really like him in bot mode as well as combined mode.
The people are so friendly there.

Will people post sightings of Titans Returns in OZ stores in this thread, or should I go ahead and start a new one?

Saved me a lot of fuel last time getting a tip from someone on here about the only Kmart around that actually had CW Bruticus/Combaticons.

Would be great do the same with this TR line and not waste fuel looking for over 3 months and finding nothing like I did with the late releases in the CW line. The local stores that got them previously I regularly went to had all decided not to stock the later waves, regardless of what their catalogues said. So I didn't find any combaticons or sky lynch stuff till like 3 months after they were released....and everybody had sold theirs except for a couple of stores about an hours drive from where I live.

I am sure that they will be posted in the Sightings Thread for each state

The previous Titans Return toys were an advance release so when they get their general release here it will be a news posting... which people can post their first sightings there if they want but since it is a whole line and not a single exclusive toy, we wont be having an ongoing sightings topic.
