I picked mine up from Macquarie Centre Big W on Wednesday night, it was at the back of the store on an end next to the rest of the book section. There was probably 10 or so left. It was with some Star Wars Books as well.


I finally opened it, I do like the case, and the box, the sounds it makes when you open it are a bit average, I'd be much more interested in more traditional transformation sounds.

The hole on the back to hang it is small also, you need a small screw or hook.

I haven't opened the book yet, maybe in the next week or so I'll have time to give it a good look.

On sale from March 27 to April 23... a good four weeks to get them (plus a few extra days, as people were getting them before the 27th).

They have it listed with a RRP of $100, but their regular price was $68... which is deceptive advertising, suggesting that shoppers at their store are saving $50, but are really only saving $18. (which I thought was illegal)

I saw these at Garden City, and as you can see in the catalogue link, they were amongst several Star Wars books that were in similar solid display cases.

There were quite a few at the front of the store (outside) at Rouse Hill for those having trouble tracking down a copy.

So, is it worth the $50? I like reference books and thought The Vault was very well done. Is it worth having both?

It's not a reference book.

It's a fiction story, with illustrations, that's inspired by (but ignores) existing TF G1 canon to create something new and "Aligned" that combines the War For Cybertron games, the tie-in novels, and the TF:Prime cartoon.

It's not something in the same category as The Vault book.

Is anyone having trouble when mounting the case on the wall? The bottom opening section of my case keeps sliding down on its own. Had to put a bit of blutak on the inside to keep it from falling :/

[liegeprime]

Nope, not having that sliding problem with mine Polursine. It "locks" into place supposedly. Not tightly locked but you know, enough to keep the panels from sliding down...



@5FDP, as Paulbot has said, it's a fiction book, a bit of a read actually, Not so much of a reference book as the Vault is. It's TF: Prime, WFC - G1, not G1 - G1... does it make sense what I just said? heheheh

My first international release does the exact same thing.

Thanks Paul You just saved me $50.
