Nice. Wave 3 starting. Is there motormaster and blackjack around retail yet though?

[Akky82]

Makes me cry that I preordered wave 3 from premium collectables thinking it'd come sooner than retail :-(

No Devi at Strathpine, otherwise I might've caved and gotten one... Must resist going out tomorrow...

I saw sweet nothing, well basically nothing of transformers at Strathpine last Thursday night.

I did see a full wave one range at northlakes bigw though.... legends only that is.

Please don't tell me another retailer is going to sell a wave of deuxes without the Voyagers to go with it.

Who is making these decisions? Do they not know the point of a combiner?

That's the down-side of combiners or sub-groups of toys across different size-classes or waves - there is no guarantee a particular country or region will see all of them, as demand (sales) dictates how often waves/cases end up getting to stores before the next wave is being sent out from the factories.
This is where a boxset works, and I was suggesting to Hasbro that they should offer boxsets after the waves are out in stores, for collectors to get the set (like in Gen1), while parents and kids can just buy the cheaper "random" toys from the store first. (a bit like comics - people prefer one or both when it comes to individual issues or TPBs, which you have to wait for later)

No they really probably don't. Especially stores like Myer. They don't give a crap either.

The fault lies with Hasbro's sales reps in not selling the point of the line more or offering retailers an incentive in picking up the complete line, such as old stock buy back or discounted rates. But then... I've met Hasbro sales reps during my time in retail that also had no idea about their own product.

BigW Garden City got in their $10 Beast Hunter Deluxes, and as noted by other people, it is just the fourth wave of Arcee, Vertebreak, Knockout with Bumblebee and Starscream.

ToysRUs have received the Ultra Megatronus $60, and 10 boxes of the Platinum Edition Blaster & Perceptor sets for $200 each.

Thanks for this siting. I'm often there on a Sunday and quickly do the rounds after shopping; did the rounds before shopping yesterday. Only a single of each was still there... well were still there . None left now. (Also, for anyone interested, found that Myer applies the greater of the 2 conflicting discounts to the items - so the $5 off sale price was ignored and the 50% off second full price toy was applied).

Also, (not sure whether to apologise for this one) but if anyone on here may have hidden the last Devastator in the preschool section behind the large, stacked Fisher Price Little People sets... The minion at the front desk said they were out of stock (sold out on opening on Thursday), but my wife found him hidden there when she went to have a look for some bargains for our little man. I have him now too if you were heading back for him...
