WA Transformers Sightings.

[Tetsuwan Convoy]

I like the state based sightings, dragging myself through pages and pages of unrelated sightings was a pain. If you want to have a look-see at whats happeing in the other states and whats showing up, its only a thread away!

Ok, Target Morley seemed to have acquired about 8 or so (battle damaged) Megatron VS Optimus Animated packs. 1 Supreme Animated Optimus. No prices, since they rarely have the tags up. Lazy sods.

Guess if it came to a vote, I'd go for series based threads over state based... I'm mainly interested in Universe at this stage, and I'd suppose some others may be collecting specific series too.

Anybody got a good idea what the lag time is between Perth stores getting stock compared to when Melbourne/Sydney first see stuff on the shelves?

I haven't worked it out entirely yet, but it seems like 1-2 weeks. Maybe less. The exception is that sometimes they get stuff first in chains that are only in the eastern states, like Toy Kingdom.

FOUR Sideswipes!! My goodness... I've only ever seen one at a time in Perth stores, and the last one was hidden on another shelf at Myer Morley.

Sounds like Midland might be a nice place to shop for harder-to-get stuff.... just so far out though!

Midland Toyworld has the Shadow Command Megatron (the repaint of the movie leader)

[Jetfire]

Midland Toyworld has the Shadow Command Megatron (the repaint of the movie leader)

Yeh he acually looks pretty cool with those red highlights, heaps better than standard grey boring Megs which I wish I never bought.

I sighted him at BigW Kingsway.

[snaketales]

Empire Toys has the four-Decepticon cassette encore set (Frenzy, Rumble, Laserbeak (I think) and Overkill) for $60.
