That's been there for a while:

I was in Parra today so I decided to pop into Sheriff's Mini Cars. I was looking for that Binaltech Jazz but I couldn't see him anywhere.

Anyway, the back section where they have their sci-fi stuff (including TFs) on the floor was a boxed G1 Metroplex The box looked pretty ratty & how much did they want for it? $400 Bloody hell, I didn't even bother checking it for missing bits & pieces (It's a given that some things were missing).

That's the first time I've seen an actual G1 in Sheriff's before. Even their Beast Machines stuff seemed to be jacked up in price compared to the last time I was there. $400 for a boxed Metroplex? Boxed Fort Max's go for $500 odd on Demonbay and they wanted $400 odd for a smaller & not nearly as cool cityformer? Damn Scalpers. I hope that Metroplex sits there & rots for all of eternity - it'll sure teach those Scalpers at Sheriff's a lesson.

I don't think they're ever gonna move it for that price

Found the new voyagers (1st Strike OP, Evac, Offroad Ironhide) at my local Target.

Lots and lots of (pre-All Spark) Deluxes at the city Target store, including at least three 74 Bumblebees. They had a couple of Nightwatch Prime and Leader Brawl. They also had the newest Real Gear repaints (Twitcher, Midnighter, Farsight), lots of the first two Screen battles sets, Ult Bumblebees, first wave movie robot heroes, cyberslammers, some of the most recent FABs and some Prime and Bumblebee cyberstompers.

(I think Hasbro has made a delivery to the store given all the Hulk, Iron Man and Indiana Jones movie toys they have on the shelves too).

TRU Chatswood:

3 x each of the Movie Cybertron repainted Ultras (actually look alright in person)
3 x Voyager Evac, offroad Ironhide, 1st Strike Prime (No Incinerator)
2 x Leader Megatron's, 1x Leader Prime
Too bloody many Cyber Slammers, Legends Starscreams, Titanium Thundercracker/Hot Rod, Scouts, Allspark deluxes to count.

And some turnarounds.

Did you check prices on the Ultras?

Did you check prices on the Ultras?

Yeah, no stickers/tag, and no working scanners.

Actually the only thing that had price tags were the 3' Titaniums...

TRU at Garden City (Brisbane) managed a restock since I was there two days ago. Soundwarp and I were there and saw they had about a dozen or so of the Ultra Jetstorm and Wingblade for the same $40 price as down south. Which was a relief because the normal Ultra price at retail is usually about $55-60, and their Voyagers (a size smaller) is priced at $50!!!
Soundwarp wanted an Evac, but refused to pay $10 more for a smaller toy to the two Ultras I was buying at $40 each.
And they had some of the new Voyagers as well (Evac, Offroad Ironhide, First Strike Prime) for that above mentioned $50. Plus Deluxes Stockade, Jungle Bonecrusher, Overcast and Landmine for $30. Still heaps of the Bumblebee and Ratchet Movie Blasters for $50.
David Jones at Garden City had Deluxes as well, and surprisingly cheaper than TRU by $3! They had the Stockade, Jungle Bonecrusher and Overcast.

Seems that Incinerator is very popular, everyone has seen his case brethren, but not him himself...

The Movie Ultra repaints are $40 at Chatswood TRU too, I gave them a call this morning, the Jetfire repaint is begging for me to buy it.
