Retro Headmasters coming to Target Australia

[i_amtrunks]

Didn't even know these were coming, so it's a very lovely surprise. Target getting them isn't great, but at least they still do have sales on transformers overall from time to time.
I know I'm a pessimist but I expect these will be more than $40-$45 here. We very rarely get good exchange prices.

More G1 exclusives. Ha ha haahaa haaaha ha haahaa!!!!

I still have these exact TR figures in bags somewhere that I can’t sell/nobody wants.

I was hoping these weren't going to hit Aus, if for only one reason.. that being I wouldn't have to decide if I was going to get them or not. They do look nice!

I?d rather them reissue the original headmasters instead repacking the TR figures though,

Now available. Check your stores/stock level.

You and me both. 100%. They probably lost the moulds. Only explanation for the reissue of the same G1 toys over and over again in the last 20 years.

Not bad at all for $29! Especially for a store exclusive in G1 style packaging.

Same. I've had doubles of Hardhead (LG and HAsbro versions) I've tried to sell for going on two years now. Never had a single msg/click any bit of interest so I don't even bother listing them anymore. find it nuts that you put modern toys in a vintage box (not even a true vintage box as its thin and flimsy, not the same) and people go nuts for them.

Never got a Brainstorm myself, so will have a look for that one at least.
Don't like my chances, their is like one Target about 20km from here, that usually gets nothing, and the other one in a major shopping mall is now gone / swapped into a Kmart. It's one of the more popular metro malls in the state, so it's not just regional.

People go nuts... you said it (and Hasbro knows it).

I thought to myself when these were announced that I would only consider getting them if there was a reasonable chance of getting all 7. Because of the box art, exclusivity and the apparently good-value price, I had a hunch these would be hard to obtain. Worse still, Target stores seem to get one case of 4 figures at at time - has anyone actually seen more than one of a figure to indicate more than one case?

My very first, and quite possibly only, sighting was of wave 2 at Perth CBD Target 2 days ago. I held them, read the tech specs, admired the figures and art, and after thinking hard... put them back and posted the sighting (hopefully not for some scalper). I decided buying them and never seeing wave 1 (Brainstorm, Chromedome, Mindwipe) and then looking up insane online prices would just bring me unjoy.

So, Batfan, I think your chances are slim. But if I see one, I'll grab it for you.
