Still plenty at TRU joondalup

Oh god I don't want them that much!

Quiet day today so "KIIIIDS, Pack yer bags, we're goin fer a road trip!"

And thus I bundled the wife and I (representing the kids) and verily we ventured off to the countryside and visited Joondalup. It was an exciting trip fraught with danger and too scary for this time slot. Upon reaching Joondalup, as the sound of banjoes rang in our ears, I came to the realisation that I had no idea where TRU was.

So, putting my country town knowledge to use (i.e There is one main road and everything is on that) I explored the main road and lo and behold, the faded sign of TRU didst engage mine eye from across some bushes. A turn of a corner and a short crossing of a bridge later, I was parking my valiant steed int he carpark, after narrowly avoiding some wally in a large carriage as they reversed out of their spot without looking. :/ Welcome the the styx...

When I entered the establishment, I confirmed my suspicions that I had never been here before. 1. I had no idea where it was. 2. It was dark, so very dark. Don't they have power this far out from civilisation?

It was also fairly untidy... I circumnavigated the site (to take in the views) and found on the shelves, hiding amougnts the DOTM rubbish, two cartons of deluxes. Ooo, and most importantly two Soundwaves! Tadaaah! A quick comparison later I had the better one in my hands and I wandered off to the checkout, after checking the Voyagers of course. Yup! Megatron still looks like ass.

$30 ( !!) later I had my Soundwave and we went into Lakeside for lunch, where my ability to wield chopsticks was questioned because "You don't look like you can handle chopsticks." Mayhap I shouldn't have insulted the lowly spork she offered me beforehand... But they are truly an abomination!! Perhaps the spork has a following up in this far away land.

My adventure continues, but it gets less exciting from this point on. However the moral of the lesson is, do not spurn the spork, as it appears to have some admirers.



Erm, so back on topic, there was another S/Wave left and a heap of BB, CJ and WJ

[Slag]

Ha . A very entertaining read.. We used to call them Splades??
Now they could be entirely different things , but if they're not, i guess sporks makes much more sense. ( a cross between a spoon and a fork as opposed to a cross between a spoon and a err blade?_? yet still with fork tines that get no mention) Maybe the word splade should be reserved for just a spoon with a sharp edge.

You went to joondalup and you didnt get glassed or stabbed? THIS STORY IS MERELY FICTION!

[Cyberwing]

Well at least Tetsuwan did get a Soundwave.
In TRU Carousel, since most of the kids did not know much about TF Prime, none of the Prime stuff wasn't touched (even Wheeljack). Until the (presumed) collectors before took all the Soundwaves.
Although I did grab a Wheeljack.

[Accel]

Just went to Joondalup TRU still has Soundwaves and Wheeljacks. HEEEEAAAAPS of Optimus and a few Megatrons.

I have Soundy incoming from overseas so I only picked up Megatron

[AJ_Prime]

Still can't believe they've actually released them before the Hasbro announced released date of March (although I suppose we're not that far away now), and also before the series hits our screens.

Very entertaining stories about Joondalup, have to agree with you Accel, can't believe TRU Joondalup actually has some TF stock that isn't 2 years out of date!

[griffin]

Release dates are a rough estimate, based on when Hasbro expects to get the stock, and when retailers distribute them through their supply chains. It's more of a guide as to when consumers should be able to find them easily at all stockists planning to sell them (provided there aren't any production or shipping delays).
It's just better to have them early than late though.

[Bumbleb33]

Big w success currently has 2x Jetwing OPs for $98! J.OPs are up near the board games.
Big w armadale has dotm vgrs on clearance at $30 flat.
