    Haha I like your style. I was the first on the list, so quite poor really. Luckily I took matters into my own hands and found one.

    But an order of 2 is pretty pitiful!

    If they do call me with one, I will give you guys first dibs.

    This sale should not have happened if they do not have it in stock.

    This is poor coordination of bigw part of having the eastern states sell and we are like huh? Wtf?

    For the record Livingston is showing-6 in quantity meaning they over sold or taken orders.

    It's possible that it was Hasbro's fault, as they had a backlog after moving warehouses... and there are conflicting versions on what happened with the scheduling and supply of Devastator.

    It's kind of shocking when I compared to metroplex which was easy.

    So I've been going to Big W constantly and speaking to the staff about what there stocks will be like.

    First of all let me say this: Mandurah Big W is the worst. At one point there was not a single transformer on the shelves, not one ... for a whole week ... even after the sale had started.

    Apparently they received only half of there stuff for the sale, but all at once ... so the restocks of other toys they think they'd sell out of in the first week as well as others. Transformers where nowhere to be seen ... until today.

    The BH Wave 2/3 showed up for $10 which was good. The other thing is that when Mandurah does get the big green bot, they are getting 16. Sad news is that people have already put there names down in the books for waiting. This doesn't bother me as I've already decided to go for United Devastator and Defensor anyway.

    Warnbro Big W didn't have anything as of Monday but I'll be swinging by there tomorrow to have a check.

    I got my phone call from Big W Joondalup this morning after being put on The List Thursday morning. So, some stores seem to be doing things properly. I was told they'd hold it for 48 hours.

    The little guy told me I should ask Santa for one too so it doesn't cost any money. :-)

    Thanks mate. I'm sure the order of two was what was supplied. I work for another (big box, not department store) retailer and while we can order 20 of something, if someone is only shipping us 5, we'll get five. Doesn't mean the remaining 15 wont be fulfilled, but it means they aren't on the truck yet.
