January Acquisitions

[jaydisc]

Left Activator Megatron and Grimlock on the shelf, not worth paying $23 for them, plus Megatron's packaging makes him look like he should be all silvery and metallic when he is a normal flat grey in reality.

yeah, that's how much Kmart are selling them for. I tried to talk it down but they wouldn't budge. So I went elsewhere.

Could we please get some clarity on both of these comments?

Trunks, where did you see Megs and Grim?

Gok, are you saying that Kmart has them for $20 or $23? Did you notice if they scanned as "Deluxes" or "Activators"?

They scanned as "Deluxes." I took it to the counter with a Deluxe toy and pointed out to her the difference between an Activator and a Deluxe and how this was clearly a smaller toy and not the same price point. She agreed with me and called her manager, but the manager told her over the phone that she had to sell the toy at whatever it was scanning at. She explained to her manager what I told her, but the manager told her to sell the product at the scan price - she was adamant about it. Oh well... I later found the same Activator at Target for a cheaper price.

gok...you can then go back to Kmart with that purchase from Target and get a 10% off that price you paid at Target from Kmart!

Gah... too late now. I'll keep that in mind for next time thanks.

Lovely travelling there, Jaydisc. I need to hope on over sometime soon.

Nice work too, lcz128

Trunks, where did you see Megs and Grim?

Saw them in an independent toy/sports store in Milton on the NSW South Coast, it's about 10 minutes north of Ulladulla along the Princes Highway.

Damned and Bartrim are the closest members, and might even know the store I am talking about.

This arrived in the post last friday on the 30th, thanks to KC99. Only 2 acquis in a month, that's by far the least I have in my time of collecting TFs...
