    There's little for me as I'm not a live action movie or Armada collector, and the only figure I might buy is SS86 Snarl, if he shows up earlier than expected. No Legacy Evolution Deluxes or Voyagers on sale and I have no interest in the next lot of Leaders. I will probably buy the Jada Transforming Optimus Prime as $85 is a very good price.

    No early waking for me this year!
    I picked up the catalogue from Woolies Secret Harbour on Tuesday night while I did a little shopping. Not much there this year for me which I am very happy for.

    I've decided what I'm getting from the toy sale. A gaming chair and a PS5 controller. Nothing TF related for me this year.
    I have a list of all G1 characters that have been released in CHUG form. You can find it here. Please feel free to let me know if I got anything wrong so I can fix it.

    Note that there is an online-only price on the website for some toys e.g.:

    Studio Series Leaders are $69 online-only but the catalogue advertises $75;
    Legacy Leaders are $69 online-only but are still advertised in the catalogue at $69;
    Legacy and Studio Series Deluxes are $29 and $23 online-only but are not advertised at all in the catalogue.

    The website states:
    Online Only Toy Sale Pre-sale Price
    This item and price shown is only available online as part of our Online Toy Sale.
    If this product is not available to add to cart, we have sold out of our online launch stock. More stock will be available in store on Thursday 15th June.

    So, on Thursday, perhaps those Deluxes go to usual price.

    Got my pick-up order in for Armada Prime and the RotB Jungle Mission 3-pack.

    Don't really want or need the movie Cheetor but I want Nightbird and Pablo so while grabbing the individual deluxes would've been cheaper I figure this way I don't risk the local store not having those two separately so the ease of just getting them this way and the extra rewards points probably makes up a little bit of the extra I'm paying.

    Actually works out to be cheaper per deluxe to get the 3 pack (amazingly so) only paying $9 for Cheetor so i bit the bullet


    Only ordered Prime and the three pack myself, was going to get the legacy leaders but didn’t want the hassle of selling tmII megatron so i’ll try and grab Skyquake in person. Same with the other assorted listings.

    Oh yeah, I meant cheaper if I was buying the two from the set I actually want compared to just going this way for convenience.

    It's Thursday and the website has gotten rid of the "online-only" and the above descriptor, but those prices above are still the same.

    Haha, mannn, my jungle mission pack has duplicates of Nightbird's accessories instead of having Wheeljack's blaster. I don't know if I care enough about taking it back to the store to exchange or whatever over just a missing gun given it doesn't actually affect the form of the modes like it would if either of the other two were missing accessories but dang. I dunno.

    Has anyone else seen the tv commercials for the BigW toy sale? I have been told that there are three of them (I've seen three, so might have seen all of them), and they include people in toy costumes... including a Bumblebee costume and a converting Optimus costume.
    They are simple costumes, but the commercials are fun to watch.
