QLD Transformers Sightings.

[Mr Ed]

This is really a 'non sighting' post.

Rang Toyworld at Mt Gravatt and enquiried about the Mechtech Voyagers

They said not on shelf yet - 16 May 2011.

Interesting that other Toyworlds may have had them for sale?

I might ring Springwood/Loganholme.

It certainly can't compare with the fun of seeing new DOTM toys, but I just saw a new endcap display (cardboard) of ROTF activators in Woolworths. With this and PCC combiners, it looks like Woolworths is really supported transformers.

Yep, they've got four TFs lines now. Its just ironic then that the Hasbro TFs website page that lists stockists, has Coles listed but not Woolworths (in addition to the seven chains we automatically think of as toy sources - Kmart, Target, BigW, TRU, Toyworld, Myer, DJs).

Toyworld Jindalee (QLD) had WAVE 3 DELUXES!!!! (A world first I think) And I guessed correctly on the checklist, as they had Thundercracker, Laserbeak, Nitro Bumblebee and Mudflap $27.
They also had Wave 2 Voyagers (Shockwave & Skyhammer) $50.
Plus Wave 2 Legion/Legends (Ratchet, Lightingbolt Bbee, Crowbar, Leadfoot (red one), Mudflap) $8.

Target Mt Ommaney and Indooroopilly had the Stealth Force Mini-changers 2-packs (one is a vehicle with pop-out weapons on car doors plus a Robot-Heroes type figurine) for $9 each (they had 5 types).

Target Mt Ommaney had the new Stealth Force Electronic Bumblebee (same size and gimmick as the Optimus one from TF2) for $49.

Target Mt Ommaney & Indooroopilly, and Toyworld Jindalee had the Cinemasks ($19 Target, $26 Toyworld).

Both those Targets and that Toyworld had Revving Robots Optimus & Bumblebee ($49 Target, $50 Toyworld).

Forgot... Toyworld Indooroopilly had the newest SW Crossover (Thire) for $30.

Wow, Wave 3 already! Did you get them griffin or are you waiting for the trip to Botcon to get them at USA pricing?

Other sightings from today.

Toyworld Redbank, Jindalee and Indooroopilly had a heap of RtS Voyagers (Strafe, Lugnut, Grappel) and Wave 1.5 Deluxes (Perceptor, Optimus, Wreckgar, Jazz, Tracks, Bumblebee), and RtS 2packs for $40 or $50 (I forgot).

Target Mt Ommaney and Indooroopilly had most Wave 1 DotM toys in Deluxe, Voyager, Leader, Legends, Revving Robots, Gobots, Activators, Action Sets, and wave 1&2 Commanders. Prices are on the Price Comparison listing.
Mt Ommaney store had Optimus & Bbee kids costumes with DotM header card (same costume, just different 'packaging'.
Indooroopilly store had an endcap display for the Target AUS Movie promotion, which will be posted up in the AUS news section shortly.

Toyworld Jindalee had a single HA Mudflap, DotM Deluxes wave 1&3 (not 2), Voyagers W1&2, Leader w1, Legion W1&2, Commander W1, Revving Robots, Cinemasks, Action Sets.

BigW Mt Ommaney only had the first wave of Action sets.

Kmarts in three locations had nothing out for DotM, and almost no other TFs in store.

Myer Indooroopilly didn't have DotM out yet either, but had a fair few reeeeally old TF2 toys, including Long Haul and 3 Devastators.

Yeah, a painful wait for BotCon...

But comparing our AU$24-30 ($27 for these ones at Toyworld) to the US price of about AU$13... I can wait to pay half price.

DOTM officially everywhere on The Coast. Caloundra Kmart got wave 8 generations too - minus 1 x warpath, tc & scourge

Considering the amount of toys in the DotM line you'll be buying, I'd be waiting to pay half price too.
