NSW Transformers Sightings.

AOE Leader Bumblebee sighted at Costco - $35.99.

That was expected, since they showed up at the US Costco stores about a month ago for cheap.
$36 is a good price for something so big... even without the electronic thingy.

Platinum Leader Optimus and Grimlock 2 pack at Myer Liverpool, $219, not as bad as other the platinum editions but still overpriced imo.

That's true.
I got mine from BBTS for US$100 plus POL shipping because I feared that it would be at least AU$200 here, after seeing the prices of the other Platinum sets at Myer.

Went to Myer Castle Towers and saw all the Platinum editions there. It's really sad to see how overpriced they are, though I think the best value was the autobot set at only $50 each for a transformer, compared to the other ones which had worse value (The Optimus Prime trailer with Sideswipe is the most overpriced and like with the other sets, it is cheaper to buy online INCLUDING Shipping and handling, which I think is evidence of a rip-off)

I'm hoping Myer has a toy sale later this year with these toys being 50% off because then they are worth it. Here, they are just total rip-offs that can be bought online for a cheaper price (and like I said, including S&H)

[GoktimusPrime]

We only have a Megatron, Megatron2, MegatronMack, Megatran, megatren, Megatrons Cannon, MegaPrime, MegaTfman, and a Megabattimus. Still so many permutations available.

They're not going into the square. They're opening between woolworths and Dan Murphy in shellharbour, near Bunnings

That is a pretty big store
I hope the whole thing becomes a tru.
It would be a huge store and would be easier to get to than the gong store.

Thanks for the info

Found a Deluxe Kickback from Kmart at Campelltown (Still amazed they still have these though still trying to find topspin as he is the only one I'm missing from Ruination ), also found AOE Legends Optimus Prime from Big W at Campelltown, which funny enough is the first time I saw a AOE legends toy that wasn't Grimlock (There was a grimlock there as well).
Other than wasn't much, Prime Voyagers are apparently back at Toys R Us for $50, though I don't understand that as they are $25 at Toymate/Uncle Pete's (Compared to the $20 that was at Big W). And even then it's just Optimus Prime, Bulkhead and Starscream. Haven't seen Megatron though.

Blacktown Target had a heap of the non transformable AoE figures and a stack of the mid sized Kreo sets, but very few actual transformers (and all wave 1).

But with the condition that the majority of the toy section was in, they may as well not bother having one. Most of the shelves were neigh empty, and the shelves that did have stock, were of stock that has been there for ages and again, much of it in very worn condtion from being out for so long.

Big W has the same issue with the old toys (Monster University figures everywhere, but barely a Ninja Turtle in sight).

Good to know that Hasbro are not the only company who push wave 1 so heavily that the next few waves are skipped by retailers.

It's stuff like this which is why Internet shopping is big. Most of the Thrilling 30 transformers never got a major release in Australia (Except for Metroplex while you'd be lucky to find Jetfire) and most of the transformers you can find are either the non-transforming ones, or the ones meant for the younger ones.
