QLD Transformers Sightings.

Toyworld Kawana has the range of new AOE stuff, Evasion Prime and Grim, Leader class Prime and Grim and the voyagers. Voyagers were $24 (which is cheaper than Big W), Evasion and Prime Deluxe $49 and Leader class $89. Dino Riders and ConstructBots were also there. They have also restocked their FOC Generations.

It's so confusing as a long time TF collector to hear other toy lines like Power Rangers referring to Deluxe as their top of the line version. I imagine it's also hard as a new TF collector to think of Deluxe as being the standard size and having Voyager, Ultra, Super, Leader, Ultimate and Supreme all above Deluxe.

I bought Swoop thinking it was a Delluxe, only to find it was a quick changer.
Easy to get confused with similar sizes

They need different coloured packaging for each line. It is very confusing. I've noticed the Takara versions are the same also apart from the Takara logo.

Yeah i probably did, sorry. I didn't take photos or write down what was on the shelves so i was only going off of my memory from 8 hours earlier in the day. I am in the same boat as OmegaMetro, reillyd and DELTAprime that all the packaging, the different sizes and names for classes are so darn confusing. No wonder we get so many shelf warmers. One thing i did learn from the sighting though was the lack of size on the Evasion Prime. I was really interested in this one (before seeing in person) as i thought judging by other members photos that he was a good size but when in hand i was let down so i put him back.

The set does look nice... but is it worth $129, since it is just two Voyagers that are normally $45-50 each.
(and chromed parts don't seem to be costing them much, as other figures have it and remain within the normal price-point)

Hopefully Myer will have a 20% off toy sale to coincide with the toy releases soon; $103 puts it into normal voyager price point territory. With such an obvious homage, you'd also think that they would apply the chrome to areas like the front bumper, grill, fuel tanks, tyres & smokestack/s

Spotted new AoE TF's @ K-Mart Kippa Ring today.

And also this @ Target Kippa Ring -

K Mart has Predaking for $39 but would likely price match.

It's unlikely that they will on an item that is marked for clearance. You can ask, but many retailers don't when another has the same item reduced to clear.

I should have taken a pick of the inside flap. From memory I t does look like the grill and bumpers, I cannot recall if the tanks and smokestacks were done. If I hadn't already got the Voyager Grimlock I would have gone for it! Also a thing to mention the blue areas on the upper arms are chrome, it looks a whole lot better than the blue!
