QLD Transformers Sightings.

Today at Carindale, around 2.30pm...

Target - only had two of the Retro Headmasters left (which I grabbed), and the 5th wave of Cyberverse Deluxe toys (thanks to the tip-off a few posts up, after 3 weeks of searching dozens of stores here).



Myer - despite a restock of the ss86 Deluxe and Voyagers since I was last there, they were all out of the Grimlocks that were reported a few days ago.



And then an hour later, while I was trying to get to Mt Cotton (by google maps and street signs)... I somehow ended up at Capalaba. I saw that they had a Target, so had a quick look inside. Found an empty spot where the shelf tag said Retro Headmasters.
Heaps of Jada vehicles though.

Target in the city finally stocked up with kingdom. Got the only cyclonus though

They must have had a small stock a few weeks ago because I found a lone Paleotrex there

Never go to Target Buranda for action figure toys... EVER.
Not a single action figure of any kind from any toyline.
If this is one to be closed down, it wouldn't be a great loss.

Yea, I was there a few weeks ago and was surprised at the lack of toys.

Yesterday morning...

Myer CBD - Heaps of the Deluxe ss86 toys, but no Voyagers or Leaders.



Target CBD - Kingdom and diecast cars, but nothing else worth noting (no Retro Headmasters or even a shelf tag).

Yea, I was there a few weeks ago and was surprised at the lack of toys.

They do still have a decent toy section... a fair bit larger than Target Country stores that I've been to, but Buranda had all sorts of other toys (lego, girls toys, cars, toddler toys), just no Action Figure toys at all (like marvel, star wars, batman, transformers)... which smaller Target Country stores have had. It just seemed really strange that this one store was so determined not to have any boys action figure toys at all.

Buranda shopping centre just seemed to be a bit of a backwater for shopping, as I had found a corner of their Woolworths with old stock from the last four seasonal events (christmas, new years, australia day, valentines day).

I drop in to Buranda semi regularly. It is like they are aggressively ignoring some toy lines. The last TF were the Cyberverse Seekers and Quint packs. The last Quintesson went about a month ago. Even Lego is starting to dwindle now. I double checked to see if they are on the chopping block, but Buranda Target is one that is supposed to survive.

Garden City Kmart had a Paleotrex and Cheetor. Target had a Primal. Otherwise nothing new although I didn't go to Myer.

Went to Target Garden City to pick up my 4 clickncollect Headmasters... had to refund 2 of them. Two were the same and one I already had.
I'm probably lucky I got two of the four.
For anyone wanting a Hardhead or Mindwipe, head on over there. If they aren't out on the shelf, ask at the clickncollect counter for 2 that were refunded about an hour ago.
But be quick as the online orders take stock from stores and transfer between stores (or post them), they don't come from their warehouse, as 2 of my 4 came from Robina store and 2 came from Pacific Fair.
I'll have to wait a few days before ordering more, or else I'll get these two again that I refunded.

BTW, they had the 4 Buzzworthy SS toys on shelf... 2 of each.

I ordered 6 with 2 ready to collect. I wonder if they won't just add yours to my order or will actually get the rest from somewhere else.
