WA Transformers Sightings.

[Oilspill]

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.

Midland Target
It's a total holocaust, the TF shelf has been cleared out (with the exception of 1 movie final stand set) and has incursions of batman and that ben10 stuff

Midland Kmart
Old Animated and movie stuff only. Universe onslaught shelfwarms.

Midland Big W
Looks like they had a recent TF restock
Universe:
4 Sideswipes, 3 Acid Storms, 1 Galvatron, 1 Silverstreak, 1 Ironhide. A few each of ultra silverbolt and powerglide.

Midland Toyworld
Movie scouts: Warpath, Storm Surge, Crosshairs
Sold out of Universe SE's and indeed all other Universe toys.

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!

Thanks for posting the sightings Gasarki.

I fear this state based sighting system has my knickers in a twist, and henceforth i shall have to cease using any sightings thread.

oh my

It's a really long shot, but no Mirages or Skyfires left perchance?

If you mean Classics Deluxe Mirage - well, I haven't seen one of those on a shelf for about 10 months now...

As for Classics Voyager Jetfire (Skyfire)... I think the last time I saw these were in Myer & David Jones, but that was about 4 months ago. Definitely haven't seen this in Target as far as memory serves.

I fear this state based sighting system has my knickers in a twist, and henceforth i shall have to cease using any sightings thread.

It's not that bad, is it?

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