Ah cool, no worries. Completely forgot to ask about Mindwipe. Ah well.

Not much new except Zing have Core and Leader W2 and BB SS at Target. Oh yea and SS86 Deluxe at Kmart, there were 3 Blurr and 2 Kup when I was there.

Damn... gotta be quick with the Headmasters.
At least they are going to a good home and not to a scalper.

Mmm scalpers. Not sure if it's someone from here being legit or not, but Target Brookside got 8 in overnight and all 8 are on hold for one customer...

Hey guys, Myers QLD definitely have wave two Kingdom in. Just nabbed the deluxe and voyagers. They still are up for recall but the staff are aware and manually entered it for me.

Further, the lady who runs the North Lake toy section advised.me thet is NO MORE stock coming to them. She said they are getting one drop and once they are gone won't be back in stock. She didn't say I'd this was for every store or just this one.

And now we are all locked down 😀

Today at Garden City....

Kmart - had the new Rescue Bots Featured Bots (the larger transforming figures). They must have got in quite a few of them and sold at least 7 Bumblebees, as there was at least four cases worth of Medix figures, but only one Bumblebee left (each case has 2 Bumblebees, 1 Medix and 1 Hoist). I bought the last Bumblebee.
They also had the newest wave of Cyberverse Deluxe toys. No new Kingdom though.





Myer - Had Cyberverse Iaconus, which I think is new since I was last there a couple weeks ago. Everything else was old.
None of the Kingdom toys were out, so I asked at the only desk with a staff member on the ground floor (they have really been cutting down on staff at that store).
They looked up on their system and noticed that they only had Deluxe out the back. They grabbed them, and when scanning one up, it said "product recall"... so they refused to sell them, because they said that they were required to send back items listed as "product recall" because they could be unsafe and a lawsuit if they sell them and it injures a child.
Since they only had the Deluxe Kingdom out the back, they said that they would hold the 3 new ones for me, to sell to me later if they are allowed to.
(side note - they said that there was a "Kingdom 4-pack" in their computer system, which was leaked on the American fansites a month ago, but it isn't expected to come out until around September)



Myer Carindale - Yep that's right... after striking out at Garden City, I went straight over to Carindale. I tried calling them first several times, but the phone kept ringing out, so just had to take a chance that they had the new Kingdom toys, and would be able to sell them to me.
When I got there, they only had Huffer on the shelf. Bummer.
I took one to the checkout, and sure enough, it scanned up as "product recall".
Since the lady on the desk was already aware of them showing up as "embargo" in the last week, she went out the back and asked someone (maybe a manager) to see if she could sell me Huffer. She came back and said it was okay... and so I asked her if they had any others, or were they already sold or being held (I saw two Deluxe toys on the bench at the back with a piece of paper on it). She said that they had Voyagers and Deluxe, looking to a box on the floor at the back, which I could see was filled with Kingdom toys (it ended up having 1 case of Deluxe and 2 cases of Voyagers).
I asked if I could also get some of the others in the box, and she went back out the back to ask for approval... and got it.
Phew.
Since they were entering in the products manually to sell them, I also had to ask about the 20% off Transformers sale... which the lady had to go check the sign above the Transformers section before adding the discount in manually as well.
So I ended up with the 3 new Deluxe and 2 new Voyagers, leaving behind a couple of Deluxe and 4 Voyagers... for anyone else who can try to convince them to sell them, when Myer opens up again on Saturday (if the lockdown isn't extended).
The website also said that they should have some units of Studio Series Leaders, but there were none on the shelf, and they couldn't figure it out, so we just assumed that they had been stolen or bought in the last day (and the website hadn't refreshed yet).



Also checked out Target at Carindale, but nothing new to report... the amount of stock there was quite pathetic, but not as bad as the Target at Garden City.

Huffer is the only deluxe worth getting in wave 2 if you have Arcee beast wars are shelf warmers!

[Akky82]

Sucks man, that Airazor and Ractanite were the 2 being held for me, after being told they had no Huffers... Huffer was the one I wanted. First thing in the morning I called Chermside, they said they had none, later called North Lakes who were selling out as I was on the phone so the lady called around for me, told me yeah Chermside had sold out and found some at Carindale for me.

After work I decided not to go to Carindale as they said they'd hold them til Saturday, and instead went to Chermside at 3pm... to find multiple dinobots, arcees, an airrazor and a ractonite. They wouldnt sell them (razor/racto) to me but put my name on them for Saturday (so I called Carindale and cancelled the hold there). Should've just gone to Chermside during my lunchbreak and I might have gotten lucky, but either way came home to my Inferno/Dinobot/Ultra Magnus from toyworld online.

Anyway... Chermside had nothing new anywhere else, except a core Starscream at kmart.

[Zommael]

Myer Sunshine Plaza had Wave 2, but only Arcee, Airrazor, and Ractonite, and they now only have one Ractonite and Airrazor left.

[reillyd]

Pacific Fair Big W Wave 2 Kingdom Voyager (2x Dinobot, 1x Inferno cos I took one). Unfortunately no deluxe stock -any- wave.

Pacific Fair Target No sighting of Wave 2 Headmasters, Wave 2 Kingdom any class, but plenty of Wave 1 Deluxe.

Pacific Fair Myers No Kingdom at all, but Earthrise Wave 2 Deluxe Arcee.
