WA Transformers Sightings.

[Oilspill]

TRU Morley had the new Dinobot, Smokescreen and Cheetor, Cyclonus, Hound.

Roller... I found a Prowl at Kmart Morley. I'm not going to be in the state for a week or so, so I stashed it behind a leader class Bulkhead below.

Target in Cannington/Carousel has one Silverbolt and One animated Cybertron mode Megatron. The Megatron was stashed behind a huge Star Wars Millenium Falcon Box on the bottom shelf incase I changed my mind and wanted it..but I don't so its there for $37(20% off) if anyones interested.

Also in TRU on the very top shelf behind the red sign that says robots was some deluxe figures they didn't stack but I couldn't reach to see them all.

Kmart had alot of Starscreams and Myer had pretty much nothing. Not that it matters considering their animated deluxes were $39.95.

Hey Guys,
Not a sighting but some news about Shockwave, spoke with Paul over at Figuresdirect last night this what he had to say:

"In checking a product list that I have from Hasbro before sending this email I noticed that there are NO Voyager assortments due for release here in Australia for the first four months of 2009.

With that I mind, I have the feeling that we’re most likely not going to see Shockwave or any future Voyager Animated TFs in Australia due to the fact that the movie line is due very soon and I suspect Hasbro Australia will put all their effort into that particular line."

Paul definitely seems to be on the money, does it strike anyone as odd that we have gotten all the deluxes that came out after Shockwave in the US before our release of Shockwave.
Plus consider the rumoured cancellation of the Animated show combined with Rumours of running down the production of Animated figures, deluxes sell best that is why that is probably why that is all we are seeing.

I am off to buy Shockwave from Ebay and pay some hideous price for him.

Have a good one fellas.

[roller]

yeah thats what i thought before i read all of yer post, deluxes sell better, what with their price points etc

ive never really liked the modern toys sizes, anything bigger then the majority of other figures seems silly to me, eg: Universe 2 Silverbolt or Supreme Cybertron Starscream, Unicron and primus i can understand

[Oilspill]

I had been thinking this might happen. Since, as you said, we've had heaps of post-Shockwave deluxes come out with no sign of him.

Robotkingdom has a case with 2x Shockwave and 2x Skywarp. $90US + Shipping, so $45US + 0.5*shipping if I split it with someone. If anyone wants to go halves in one, PM me. Or order it (since I'm leaving for Sydney in 2 hrs) and I will pay you back.

OK, I've bought a case, it comes to $US123.58, which is going to be roughly $200 Australian. It's 2x Shockwave and 2x Skywarp, so it equates to $50 Aus per figure.

Ebay looks to be over $30 US plus 15-25 US shipping for Shockwave, so that will work out to way more than $50 AUD (In fact $30 US is something like $48 AUD without the shipping).

I'll be looking to get rid of the Skywarp and Shockwave as a pair. PM me if anyone is interested.

FYI I'm heading to Sydney in a few hours so I might be a bit quiet for the next week or so.
