QLD Transformers Sightings.

[griffin]

They must have got in another case or two today as there were three of each and 4 Hounds & Trailbreakers.
They got in the Shockwave legends as well so now they finally have all the catalogue toys. Just not the latest ones like SkyLynx or Wreckgar.

Glad to hear you got your set Griffin, and it didn't sell out.

[griffin]

Yep... but still two left to find to finish the series...

Big W Strathpine has new legends, 2 each wreck-gar, shockwave, warpath, bombshell.

Coles Indro had a full box of RID Tiny Titans series 5.

Tinyjazz sent me a photo last week to post up, showing that we did indeed miss Wave 4 of the RID Tiny Titans.

My local Coles have Series 3 & 5 point-of-sale display boxes side-by-side for a month now. It was on special for $3.50 last week IIRC.

Wait... aren't you in Melbourne?

Saw one Sky Lynx in Toys R Us Townsville today.

It's like Coles don't have full priced Transformers anymore...

Last night I saw these sale tags, yet again, but since they are only modest savings, and it ended today, I didn't remember posting it up until tonight (when it is too late ).
(we used to have a few people working at Coles, who would have seen these sales when they start, instead of the last day like I've been finding out about them the last couple of times)

RID Tiny Titans, at about 13% off.


And the RID Legions at about 15% off.

(still pegwarming all those Fixits and Sideswipes)

Not as good as the previous 30% off prices, and I can't work out why they have such odd sale prices and sale percentages.

Anyway, onto something worth noting... Kmart Sunnybank at midday yesterday, with a heap of new Rescue Bots and SKY LYNX - the first one I've seen or heard about in Brisbane.

.


The new Megabots (used to be called Epic), High Tide and Optimus (the cab portion of the RB Optimus toy that is still lining the bottom shelf of that first Kmart photo above... but with both being $39, you get the trailer for free with the older version).


The new trailer Heatwave and Chase, who appear to be the new regular toys sold with a trailer (neither of these two regular toys have been released here yet).


Plus, the new "Friends" Minicons, Drake and Servo (who is in the cartoon as High Tide's pet, and later Cody's pet).


As for the regular, transforming Rescue Bots, this wave isn't new here, but I wanted to include a photo anyway.


For those in the Sunnbank area, the independent toy store near the Cinemas (which was half filled with KO toys), is now gone. They were never really a source for Transformers, other than the odd Movie toy... or Dong Man.

What says creepy more than giving an underage child a toy called 'Dong Man'?!?
