NSW Transformers Sightings.

[STL]

by the way, i found one box of deluxes tonight, it was a mix. one bumblebee preview, one soundwave, one breakaway, one of the bulldozer one, and maybe a few sideswipes, and one smoke screen, the jazz repaint

Now that's a very strange assortment. Wonder what wave that is

the text on the box didnt make much sense. it wouldnt surprise me if theyd just thrown whatever they had left into the box and sent it out. it didnt really have a specific wave like with the normal deluxe or voyagers etc.

An interesting sighting for those still after the first movie voyager figures, Myer at Blacktown has the original movie voyagers Starscream, Ratchet and Ironhide all for sale at their "sale" price of $40.

Also had a Jungle Camo Bonecrusher ad some legends from the first film.

Big W Blacktown had a tonne of Leader Megatron's, the Primes are selling very well, and about a half dozen Voager Ratchets, and some Deluxe Ravages near the DVD section, nothing much else of note.

Kmart Blacktown had about 3 Sideways figures as well as Cannon Bumblebee and Rampage in the toys section, plus plenty of Preview Soundwaves, Barricades and Legends figures in the overflow area at the end of the store.

Kmart Merrylands still has Universe Hound and Cyclonus. As for ROTF toys lots of Leader Prime and Megs, a couple of Voyager Prime and Starscream and lots of Preview Soundwave and Bumblebees.
Target Merrylands has pretty much bugger all.

ok just in from a very productive night fill, i got some good news and bad news.

the bad news: the majority of ROTF stock is being held out the back for the toy sale on the 23rd. management is trying to get us to stop moving our rotf stock to the floor before then, so we dont sell out during toy sale.

the good news; see i dont always listen that well. so tonight when i found a few boxes containing deluxe cannon bumblebee, interrogator barricade, ravage, the brown twin, i accidentally put them out =P so we have them in stock. the tf section is pretty chockers, but i also found i had some of the darker paint job break aways, so ill try getthose out in the near future. I tried to get some leader class jetfires out, but management had a hissy fit, so i had to take them out to the reserve

That just seems so, um, stupid. I mean, they'd rather miss out on 30% of their income by refusing to sell the stock now at full price. Not only that, it suggests that they aren't planning to restock for a long time if they are worried about not having stock for a sale that is still 3-5 weeks away. It's no wonder Target stores seem to be empty of TFs for months at a time - they don't restock when they sell the items, they only restock at certain months of the year. (you can correct me if I'm wrong)

K-Mart Warrawong has several TFA Super Primes in stock. Plan on picking one up tomorrow.

I agree with you partially, but at the same time i see that they want to save some for toy sale. I mean thinking of the entire amount of stock we have right now, both in reserve and on the floor, about 30% of it is on the floor. i feel they should at least get some of the new figures out now, even if it means pulling other stuff off the floor such as FAB's. Thats the only way i got the new wave of deluxes out tonight, remove one product and fill it with another. management and I often clash heads over these kind of things, but at the end of the day, t heir management and im staff. who wins?

has anyone in shellharbour/warrawong/wollongong seen rotf sideswipe at the toy sales, $19 is a killer price for a deluxe [the price they should be all the time.
and after having my car repaied i can only afford one or two deluxes

is there any way we [australian tf collecters] can by tf at low prices from the states or something, ship them here, and end up paying less for them? or would it be a logistical nightmare

just a thought

I did see a Sideswipe hiding on the bottom shelf at Target Shellharbour on Thursday, but their toy sale hasn't started yet. Maybe you can convince them to price match. That's if it's still there that is.
