ROTF Mudflap, Ravage, Brown Breakaway, Interrogator Barricade and Cannon Bumblebee all out at Sunnybank K-mart QLD.

I think I grabbed the last Ravage, and there didn't look to be more than 1 or 2 left of Mudflap, Barricade and Bumblebee.
They still have heaps of Voyagers Mixmaster and Megatron, and early wave stuff of other size classes.
Plus heaps of the Animated multi-packs (sunstorm, Shockwave).

Sorry I'm late, but yea, saw today at bigW what Maxie said above.

[Tallestblue]

I saw ROTF Activators and Generations Cybertronian Bumblebee. Drift and Thrust at my local Toyworld, (Australia Fair, in Southport on the GC). It looked like just one Case of the Generations stuff.

Sadly I am poor so no new robot love for me. Enjoy them you cashed up (CENSORED)

WFC and generations at Bigw.

Which BigW?

I went to the one at Kuraby, and they had so much old stuff, the toy section staffer said they aren't likely to get anything new unitl the sale in July.

They did have a single case of Voyagers though (2 Seaspray, 1 Ratchet, 1 Payload).

The PCC 5-packs are in the system though - $29.62 (which is a nice price, almost Deluxe price for something being marketted as a Voyager).

[Deonasis]

$30 is a nice price for the PCC 5pks, plus they have the cheapest PCC 2pks. So long as BigW get stock they could be my new favourite store!

Also, Mr Toys at indro had no Generations figs yet, the newest TFs were the 1st wave of HftD Legends, PCCs and Voygers.

Last Friday I also found some new RPMs at BigW Garden City - the new Diecast ones.
They look and feel so much better, making the original plastic ones look like knockoffs. And they are priced at the new lower $4.74, compared to old $8-10 price, making them more competative to Hotwheels/matchbox.

I found 7, but the card backs suggest that there are at least 11 new ones out in the first assortment, which includes 'Metal Heroes', 'Nest' redecos, and 'Stunticon' redecos.

Below are the 7 new diecast ones on the right, compared to 4 similar plastic ones on the left.


Metal Heros series (8)
1 - Bumblebee (above)
2 - Jetfire (above)
3 - Optimus Prime (above)
4 - Soundwave (missed)
5 - Barricade (missed)
6 - Ironhide (missed)
7 - Sideswipe (above)
8 - (unknown)

NEST Global Alliance series (3)
1 - Bumblebee (missed)
2 - Optimus (above)
3 - Ironhide (above)

Stunticon series (3)
1 - Bumblebee (above)
2 - Barricade (not out yet)
3 - Lockdown (not out yet)

(other series will come out later)

I think it is good to have a re-release of the main characters in diecast, otherwise these better RPMs still won't sell because they would only be weird redecos or unknown characters.

The downside is that the diecast ones are now too heavy for the Devastator Trackset to launch (which might have been a factor for doing plastic RPMs in the first place). And Jetfire is too wide to fit as well, even with the wings folded up.
