I was on Chapel st today, went into that shop next to Subway and opposite Greville st, usually has astroboy t-shirts etc in the window. Wow, they had quite a few masterpieces! I could see Megatron, ghost starscream, sunstorm, coronation starscream, rodimus and either MP-4 or MP-10 with the trailer, couldn't see. Cheapest one I think was $349 and the Optimus was $499... :/
They also had 3 voyager class optimus primes from one of the movies, but each had different paint jobs. One looked clear/translucent, one looked green/brown with some gold details and another was green/brown again but with gold flames. They were $59 each, I don't know if those were special editions or knockoffs or anything.
There was also an encore Sky lynx, a big boxed Sixshot, a few other types of optimus prime and some other random figures. I was surprised with the variety! Can't really justify getting any of those however![]()
Hopefully not a new trend in toy engineering. What's next a Grimlock with an extra long bod...oh wait...never mind...
I went to chaddy today and myers has done up the toy section with a display similar to the cbd one in those photos, not quite as big and flashy though. I don'
t think they had quite the full range of movie toys, but they did have 8 YOTH Optimus so I nabbed one (I had some vouchers so didn't really cost me anything, I had been umming and ahhing for a while but caved in!).
One of the staff there said there would be a sale next thursday (didn
t specify how much, or possibly this thursday, I don't remember) but I grabbed him as I was going interstate for work this week and wasn't sure if there would be any left at the sale price when I get back.
Had a few Lego star wars super star destroyers there at $699 when I asked, which is when the person mentioned the sale. I've got an unfinished collector's series regular star destroyer sitting inside so don't think I can justify adding another one until this one gets finished![]()
Went to Chaddy today and AOE wave 2 deluxe is out. Toy R Us has them for $23.99 catalogue price but I mentioned that their website had a banner for "buy 1 and get the next 1 half price". Sales rep checked with their manager and was able to honor the deal. Got Strafe and Slash for $36.

That's interesting...
The big banner says its only for Marvel Titans, but the smaller banner doesn't say what it is for... but when you click on it, it comes up with four Marvel Titan products AND the TF4 Movie Deluxes.
PLUS, since the TF4 Movie Deluxes are on sale ($24 instead of $30), if you buy two, you get one for $12... adding up to $36 for the pair.
If it is an error on the part of Head Office, use it before they fix it.
Saw the Mega One-Step Change Bumblebee at Toyworld Docklands today, along with wave 1 deluxes, voyagers, leaders, the DOTM leader BB repackage and various Constructbot stuff I don't know.
