    Rodimus won't be here unless maybe Empire Toys pick some up - TrU Australia hasn't picked any of the Animated exclusives up.

    If you're looking for Alternity the usual import places in the city have Megatron and Prime (in various flavours),but I'm yet to see a BB or CJ.

    To be fair most Toyworlds haven't dedicated whole pegs to generations stuff, it seems like they just fitted them on top of ROTF pegs where they could. I would say it only takes 1 or 2 collectors to make generations scarce at a particular store.

    Also damned kids are getting savvy these days. Gone are the days where children had to beg to even visit a toy store with a parent. I've seen more than one mother being out on a shopping trip at Toyworld with a shopping list written by their kid

    No this was one person going in and cleaning all the new stock out, I don't believe this was a collector, it was at least 2 of everything thats just been released or more.

    Could have been one of those people who want to have one sealed and one open for every figure?

    I just don't like to think this fair city has scalpers

    I would think that if it was a one off but this has happened in a few stores.

    For the seventh time in this thread, I'm so glad that my local Toyworld is reasonably out of the way. I went back two days after the figures were put out and most of them were still there - all the ones down on the flats got cleared out fairly fast.

    I realise in saying that that I may draw scalpers attention to it but to be honest if they're that desperate that they're going to drive all the way out here to make marginal profit on a $30 dollar action figure they probably need it more than me.
