Just looking at all of that chocolate is making me feel ill

3 packs, 1 full set with an extra Starscream. Guess I got real lucky (for once).

I hate you...

Bwah HA!HA!HA!HA!

Managed to duck over to Garden City just before the stores closed, and Coles have heaps of wave 1 Legends, so are not likely to get wave 2 any time soon.
They also still have quite a few of the Kreo Customs (wave 1 of Movie and some wave 1 of the Gen1 series), plus about a dozen still of the Beast Hunters Legends... including a Rotgut and Windrazor (which is coincidentally the same two left of the last wave at the Sunnybank Woolies).

That reminds me - the Coles at Pinelands Plaza no longer stock toys. I was there the other day, and couldn't find their toys (it's been about 3 months since I was last there). I asked, and they said that they've cut back on their range of stock... including their toy section. It is a smaller store for Coles, but was a good backup for the smaller toys for me.

Anyway, back to Garden City tonight...
Still no Evolutions Optimus set at TRU. There were boxes everywhere in the store in the closing 10 minutes of the day, as they were just unloading a delivery. They mentioned that they didn't see any Transformers in the load, but are currently "behind" with their stock schedule (because I asked why Aspley already had it).
Apparently a big delivery is arriving Tuesday night, so Wednesday morning might have some new TFs items.

As for BigW, I managed to get a couple good photos of the Kinder Surprise display.
I've replaced the file of the photo above (and left below), and took a second photo of the other display case (below right). While I was at the register buying some more, I saw a THIRD display case at one of the far registers. Hundreds of these things at the one store... but doing quite well, as there were two layers sold in the last day on that display case located in the queue area.

A closer shot of the header board...


As a follow-up to my post from yesterday, it took me another 18 eggs to finally find the remaining two I was missing.
That was 48 eggs just to get a complete set of 8.

The final numbers from 57 eggs...
Starscream - 11
Bumblebee - 11
Ratchet - 9
Soundwave - 8
Bulkhead - 6
Megatron - 6
Optimus - 4
Arcee - 2

That just defies logic.
Since the most popular/significant character (Optimus) was the second-rarest for me to find, it doesn't seem likely that figures were made in different ratios. So it is expected that each figure was produced in similar quantities, to give the same odds - 1 in 8, or 12.5%.
Statistically, the larger the sample becomes, the closer the result should get to any pre-defined ratio or odds.
But as you can see in the numbers above, Arcee ended up being a mere 3.5% (a quarter), while Starscream & Bumblebee were each just under 20% (almost double).

After all that, I only ended up with one spare set to sell or trade (to Americans who didn't get them), as incomplete sets won't be worth anything unless I have a lot of Bumblebee fans wanting just that figure.

I can't believe you went out and bought more chocolate. Now that's dedication to the cause

[Krayt]

Interesting.... I'm 5/8 after 5 eggs, including an arcee.... But even bigger odds, I got a Double EGG!!!

Time to get a lotto ticket.

Just swung into TRU aspley and they seem to have found some old stock, I couldn't believe my eyes when I found a Transformers Prime voyager Bulkhead! I snatched him immediately, it was a hard choice though. They've still got 2 Prime voyager Starscreams and a Prime Voyager Optimus. I also noticed a voyager beast hunters talking Bumblebee(black scheme) and a voyager beast hunter Prime (green). They otherwise had still plenty of aoe Grimmys and wave 2 of the voyagers (heli drift and slog) also saw at least 2 evo bee sets and the predacon rising abominus sets. So happy with Bulkhead, i may do a review on him soon!

Same. I was lucky enough to grab, from what I could see, the last voyager Bulkhead from the Garden City TRU. I didn't mention it because it looked like the last one.

Looks like they've found some dead stock at their warehouses or elsewhere. The same wave of figures are also available in a few stores down in Sydney.

I saw two new models of Transformers at Sunnybank Kmart: Drift and Slog





Note: These are not actual photos I took at the store. I've found these images on the web to show what I saw at Kmart
