    Toymate Logan Hyperdome on Friday...

    Since I was last there (apparently it was all the way back in May... longer than I thought), Toymate has moved the Transformers from the wall to one of the aisles.

    Quite a few things to note...
    Studio Series Core class Ravage and Shockwave for $20 (just Ravage left now).
    Heaps of The Ark for $300, and heaps of Rodimus for $159.
    The Worlds Collide 4-pack (with Fangry) for $149.
    A butt-load of 2018 Power of the Primes Voyager class Hungrrr and Elita-1 for $35 each.
    Speaking of old... Rescue Bots Flip Changers for $30, which are from way back in 2013. The interesting thing is that they were never released in Australia back then. They were labelled at Toyfair that year as New Zealand only... so this makes it a first sighting for Australia, nine years late. Now I have to go back to the 2013 Checklist page and update it, from "not here" to "here 2021-2022". (being 8 months since the last time I was there, they could have been there at any time)
    Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Spike 2-packs that flooded Kmart, for $35 here.
    Buzzworthy Bumblebee RID combiner 2-packs, also for $35.
    Buzzworthy Bumblebee Spark Armor for $30 (down from $50).
    Leader class Studio Series used to be $80, but now $89. Still probably the cheapest source for Leader class though.
    A single Delorean Transformer, with a big label stuck to the side saying that it was $60 and was the last one. (not sure why it needs a label)
    Cyberverse 2-pack combiners (just wave 1) for $50.
    Rescue Bots Firetruck Hotshot for $70.
    "Rescue Bots" Plane Optimus (with Bumblebee) for $80.
    "Rescue Bots" Electronic Trex Optimus for $99.
    Earthrise Slitherfang and Singe... the two hardest Battlemasters to find here, for $6 each.
    Heaps of those old Siege Battlemasters that flooded Kmart last year, for just $4 here.

    It reminds me of how some Toyworld stores were about 10 years ago, with a range of stock that was several years old.





    Going from left to right down the aisle...














    The back of the box of one of the Rescue Bots Flip Changers to show that they were from 2013. Where have they been collecting dust all this time?


    The wave of Cyberverse Scouts, which I think is wave 9... which was just a wave of re-releases.



    At the front of the store they had a large number of these single-pack Hangrees... which are those pooping parody toys released almost 3 years ago, but looks like the unsold stock has been dumped in Australia for cheap, as these were just $3 (from an RRP of $20).
    The reason why I noticed them is because I remembered that there was a Transformers one (Pooptimus Prime), but when I got back home I looked it up and that one was in a 3-pack, so it wasn't one of these.

    Haven't been able to do the rounds lately.. Stopped in quickly to Target North Lakes while I had the chance. roughly 6x core class SS Ravage and Shockwave on show. Still a few of the Wave 1 Retro Headmasters available, no wave 2.

    The autobot box looks to have Brainstorm on the top, so at least that one is wave 1.

    I've checked Mt Ommaney and North Lakes Targets (Jindalee Mr Toy's too), no sign of Spike in QLD yet sadly..


    Edit: Make that.. no sign of Spike in Brisbane as it was sighted up North earlier last week. Also anyone looking for a Wreck-Gar, there was one left at Jindalee Mr Toys.

    Today at Kmart Sunnybank... I popped in impulsively looking for something else, and just checked out the toy section while I was there. Lucky I did, as there was one new toy there that I then bought - Rescue Bots Rescan Ratchet.
    They also had the new "Rescue Bots" Dino 2-packs, which the shelf tag has them called "Dinobot Defenders", for $29 each.
    Quite a few Rescue Bots toys at the moment, plus 3 SS Sweeps and a single WreckGar, along with Kingdom Voyagers Cyclonus, Rhinox and Dinobot.

    Okay, did a small round trip today. Nothing note worthy found sadly. I know people have talked about the price hike in Big W previously, but I only remember them talking about the Leader being increased to $95. But SS Voyagers have increased to $60 as well (Kingdom still listed at $45). Sadly no tag up for Kingdom Leaders and didn't have time to run around to find the price of Galvatron. Zing also did have 1x Commander Rodimus and 2x Worlds Collide packs in the display case.
