    I found the TRU exclusive Darkwing and Countdown figures... for $80 each!

    I wanted to put them on layby but apparently TRU don't do layby.

    I'm having trouble convincing myself to spend that much on them, especially when one is a repaint.

    I have also seen TFA Shockwave/Bumblebee and Ratchet/Sunstorm double packs in KMart.

    $80?!?!?!??!? What a friggin rip off! No way they are worth that! I saw the Countdown at TRU Morley, but I am glad I don't want it at that price. Is TRU really a business coz they make some stupid decisions sometimes.

    Yeah, I don't think I can justify $80, even though I want Darkwind/wing to go with Dreadwind. Unfortunately He's $40 US at RK now, which, when adding shipping and converting to AUD, equals around $81 AUD. Bah.

    Think I'll just wait until they mark them down.

    Man it just seems like TRU has no idea with their pricing sometimes.

    If they release a Dark/Dread 2-pack then it'll be tougher for me to resist...

    Went on the hunt for ROTF today. Didnt travel too far, only local.

    Kingsway Big W

    Absolutely nothing, only transformers were Star War crossovers. Shame on you Big W, shame on you.

    Warwick K Mart

    Jackpot! for deluxe, robot heroes, leaders ROTF of course.
    ROTF Bumblebee helmet
    ROTF Bumblebee blaster
    ROTF Voyagers Mixmaster and Megatron
    Animated Shockwave and Sunstorm packs with activators. (I hate hasbro aus doing this to the poor suckers that imported, like me!)
    Animated Jetstorm and Jetfire packs
    Animated Leader Bulkhead $35 clearance from $39, just how low will they go?

    Today's foray into the CBD...

    Myer Perth:
    Finally has ROTF out, but only the 2 preview Deluxes, and Gravity bots.
    The Deluxe price looks to be $31.95.
    Of interest is that there was one TFU Voyager Threadbolt.
    Big red stocktake sale banners everywhere, but no discount on TF toys!

    David Jones Perth:
    ROTF at last.
    All wave one now out on the shelves, but at inflated DJ prices of course.
    I didn't bother looking too closely, but Scouts are $17.95 and Deluxes $29.95.
    Better than Myer, and perhaps will be good when there's a nice sale.
    Recent acquisitions: SS Leader Blackout & Deluxe Starscream, & FP Pinchar (Snarl)!
    Upcoming: SS Voyager OP, Megs, Brawl & Ironhide!
    Wishlist: Voyager Astrotrain & Octane (Thank you Hasbro!), Modern Dinobots (Thank you FP!)

    Saw pretty much all of ROTF wave 1 at Rockingham Kmart today. Whole isle full of TF stuff (inc FABs and all those other lines that I dont pay much attention to ). Also TFA 2-packs: Shockwave/Bumblebee and Sunstorm/Rachet.
    Was pleasantly surprised -- not expecting to ever see TFA Shockwave/Longarm on shelves in Aust. Was in a bit of a rush (spent alot of time with ROTF Starscream in my hands going "...ummmmmm...") so didnt check price of TFA 2-packs.

    ...wave 1 except scouts Ransack and Depthcharge. Are these two short stocked or what?
    TF Figs of 2024:
    1) Legacy Magmatron
    2) Legacy Gears
    3) SS102 RotB Optimus

    Ransack and Depthcharge are wave 2.

    I've checked K-Mart at Rocko City several time since the release date, only figures I ever found were Rampages. Nice to hear they've finally got their act together and actually dedicated more than 6 pegs to Rotf.
