FIRST SIGHTINGS ARCHIVE of new Transformers in Australia

All those considering TRU's MP Grimlock should check out this thread if you don't like their price!

And to bring us back on topic.....

went to TRU to spy Grimmy for myself, only to be greeted by Battle Ops BB....

$119

Looking at the BotCon Hasbro display, MP Grimlock and Battle Ops Bumblebee were both US$60 (plus tax). (Not sure where I got the US$70 price for Grimlock from), but both these figures have the same US retail price, yet TRU here are charging an extra $30 on the one that is exclusive to them (Grimlock).

Grimlock was initially supposed to be US$60 according to the Botcon sign. When he first went up on TRU.com that was his price before I think he got pulled down and then put back up for US$70, which is apparently what he costs in stores as well now.

hope this helps someone.

Does Australia have high import taxes? I mean, Brazil's prices for foreign goods are VERY, VERY HIGH, far higher than anything we have to pay, and from what I understand, this is due to high import taxes and other taxes.

Found second wave SWTFs (Clone/Attack Tank is the only new mould in that wave) at Kmart (Sunnybank, Browns Plains, Hyperdome) $30, and Speedstars Minivehicles (were RPMs) first wave (with Soundwave, red Ironhide, Optimus, Jetfire, Patrol Barricade, Bumblebee, NEST Bumblebee) $5 each.

Toyworld Docklands had wave 2 of the PCC 2 Packs and HfD Legends
about $20 and $7 respectively

[JuzMel]

New waves of the HFTD Deluxes out at Big W - Forest Hill. $24.66 each. No more Elita-1 as I have taken the last two.


Took a pic of these as I wasn't sure if it's the new wave of PCC scouts, but came back and realised it wasn't. So sorry!


Also had the new set of 2-pack RPM vehicles and TF2 Legends Ravage, Bumblebee, Rampage etc.
