WA Transformers Sightings.

[SharkyMcShark]

All Big W Canning Vale (Livingston Markets) had left were a buttload of Sqweeks and Steelbanes.

No TLK Optimus, Sharky.

Thanks for looking

A butt-ton of Scorn and Nitro at BigW Cockburn when I looked on Friday night.

A few Nitros ($10) at BigW Joondalup today. First time I’ve actually seen these at a BigW. Also saw a red Bumblebee legion (Cliffjumper) and a tonne of those Bumblebee Cassette 3 packs at Kmart (not in the Transformers section though).

Edit: Also saw a Titans Return Leader Autobot Blaster at Myer.

Heaps of TLK Voyager Scorn & Nitro ($5 ea) at Phoenix BigW. Couple TLK Dlx Drift & Steelbane ($10).

No TLK Optimus, Sharky.

Any idea where they came from? Like a warehouse you think as ive been in there every week last six months and they had little to nothing tf related.

Do you mean big w success and not phoenix?

I meant did they drag them OUT of a warehouse as they had like maybe 1 or two of Nitro Zeuss at Phoenix last many months back (or a year ago, whenver it was) nothing since, now they havewhat - piles and piles of that toy never saw shelves? Like Cosmos and Seaspray for example.


Also, the last clearance stuff they had (octane and blitz) at Big W phoenix didnt sell - well maybe two of them.
They sat for several months then were gone overnight - presumably back to a distributor / warehouse or whatever they do with unsold old stock that nobody wanted?? I mean it didnt vanish into thin air and nobody in the WA thread picked them up.

I finally got to have a poke around Toymate in Cannington today.

Look out for a deep deep sale on TR Leader Sky Shadows at some point - they've got about 20 of them, and for $40 each. I'm 99% sure they'll end up in the same situation as Target with those Leader Skywarps about 3 years ago where they ended up having to dump them for about $15 in the end.

You guys probably know this but you can get their deluxes price matched, I did it a few weeks ago and got Jazz for $28 using a Target receipt for a SS deluxe I bought while they had a sale.

Wow, thats a figure I quite like so a ridiculous sale price would be very tempting.

On another note, anyone noticed how hard it is to find SS18 Bumblebee? Cant seem to find it anywhere. Another merchandise fail by Hasbro - movie in cinemas, but sever lack of toys.

Yeah agreed! I was lucky enough to get a SS BB from Kmart a while back but I have not seen another one since. To be fair there are plenty of BB Movie toys on the shelves I see in every store, just not the ones that us adult collectors are interested in! Maybe the fact is that the kiddie toys are where the money is??
