Nothing new at Morley Target or Kmart this morning... but it was disconcerting to see what few studio series Kmart had were marked "clearance".....

[klystron]

Kmart Baldivis has Siege Brunt, Cog, Sideswipe, Hound, Thundercracker, Chromia, and Spinister. Also SS Rampage? (the red pogo-stick constructicon).
Over the past 2 weeks I have seen the whole of Siege Wave 1 with the exception of Optimus (which is the one I really want!).

EDIT: Dang, forgot about Skytread. I havent seen Skytread.

Two Crosshairs and one Spinister at Kmart Belmont this morning.

Two Crosshairs and one Spinister at Kmart Belmont this morning.

I see at least one of them is gone and on facebook marketplace now. It might be from elsewhere but same location on the map. Just added in last 24 hours.
I don't see the point of buying a new toy just to immediately sell it again?

They're selling it at higher than retail price. They're trying to make money from re-selling them. I've seen some of their listings where they sell it slightly cheaper, I'm guessing they get it on sale or they work at one of the stores and get them discounted. It's usually the same person from Bentley. I've sold a few figures that I've bought from Amazon, mostly because they were either dinky or the boxes weren't as nice as I would like them. No more than retail price though and only once in a while, this person seems to have new listings every week.

Anyways, went to Midland a few days ago. Target is pretty much empty because of the sale. BigW had nothing new and Kmart had a Megatron and TC. Went to Carousel last night, MYER was closed, Kmart literally only had ONE TC and a few Cyberverse toys, Target had one Spinster and a few other Siege figures I can't remember, most likely gone now. Toymate Cannington had nothing new, I tried picking up a Prowl but they were all dinky and I couldn't reach the top shelf - didn't want to ask an employee for help since it was nearly closing time.

Might head to Morley and some MYERs today so I'll keep you all posted.

Nah, this person is selling for same price as retail or 5-10 under. Which is why it seems odd to me.
And I know it's often toys that have been in store a week max from following sightings here. As I look at this thread and marketplace most days at the same time.

I understand (and loathe) legit scalpers, but this is like ........reverse scalping? I mena you've still got to head to where it is, or get it posted so better off with online etc.
Just odd behavior imo.

Fair call - maybe they (or someone they live with) works there, that would make sense.

nothing near me, looks like the online amazon au will get the spinister in january or so as the us site has it listed as pre-ord for end of month.
So im waiting till then as they have not turned up anywhere less than 20-30 km of where i live so far, and fuel is precious as im still off work - funding most purchases from sales.
