QLD Transformers Sightings.

And not just any KO sighting either, the Ultimate Collectors Edition versions too.
I love that the Optimus says he has Methtech. Just say no, m'kaaaay?

[Cassa]

I know, I was rather impressed!

But but... It's so big! Got linked to a review of a nearly identical toy on another site, still want it.

Some pics of my nearby stores that had displays set up...

ToysRUs, with their usual front-of-the-store set-up, and their regular section.

BigW with an entire mini-aisle display.

And the three leaders at Kmart, showing the shiny small vs the big and boring.

Kmart at Hyperdome has the Wave 2 Voyagers (Hound & Galvatron).

Myer at Hyperdome was almost stripped of exclusives, with no Platinum 2-packs or First Editions, and just one YOTH Optimus and Gaia Unicron sets.

Also saw a number of places stocking Gen1 Kreo Customs instead of Movie Kreo Customs at a number of Coles, Woolies & a Toyworld. Just a pity that they weren't wave 2 Gen1, as they are hard to find globally.

Woolies Hyperdome did have some of that third wave of BotShots that didn't show up in America, but since one didn't scan and one had a discount label on it for $3.20, they put them all through for $3.20 (not sure why, as it wasn't even damaged).

All the stores in Rocky have yet to restock. Hopefully wave 2 and the exclusives will make their way up the coast soon.

Lawnton Toyworld/Mr Toys seems to have had a huge restock of Transformers, and if you want a legends class brown bumblebee, they have at least 15.

Found these at Big W (Westfield Shopping Centre, North Lakes)



They're about Scout/large Legends class size.


P.S. I forgot to check the price...

Big W Runaway Bay now has a giant cardboard pallet with a giant Grimlock head at the front of it. His jaws are wide open, and spilling out of his mouth (literally, some on the floor) were the Movie Legion figures. They had the four figures, Optimus, Bumblebee, Stinger and Grimlock, scanning in at $5.00
The rest of the palette had Wave 1 quick changers (Optimus, Grimlock, but I didn't see any other characters).

Grimlock seemed in shorter supply, but I suspect parents/kids have been looking for him specifically ($5 is a lot cheaper than $40, or $90 for the leader class!)

This is located in the center isle of the store, and not in the main toy section.
Nothing new in the main toy section, so none of the new commanders or any wave 2 toys. its chockers and no room for them.

I was dubious about how Grimlock would work, but its actually a really good deco and nice to have one at legion size. Stinger works well too, and looks quite nice. I didn't pick up a bumblebee, but he did have a slightly different deco with brigher side windows.

Toyworld - Stocking Wave 1 deluxes, Kreons and constructabots ,Evasion Optimus and Grimlock, Leader class Bumblebee and prime (yuck) as well as Leader Class Grimlock (pretty much THE Grimlock to get if you're going for the movie figures)

Myers - Same products as Toyworld, only 3 YOTH Optimus Prime left, get them while they're on special! $120

Target - Looks like they're original display area has been reduced to a small section in among everything, Starscream Constructa-bot reduced to $12

Big W - now stocking Beast Hunters- Predacon Rising two pack, AOE Legions (pretty disappointing) and seemed to have the whole range of Dino-constructa-bots, even the huge Dino-Fire Grimlock who looked pretty darn impressive. They're also stocking all the wave 1 leaders, Prime, Bee and Grim
