QLD Transformers Sightings.

Forgot to note that the Garden City TRU also had the Evolutions Bumblebee.
(I didn't get mine from there so it didn't click that it was a first sighting at that store for me.)

This is the toyworld that used to be at Mt Gravatt on Logan rd (near Spotlight, jb hifi, good guys etc) They would of just moved the whole shop as is so hence the lack of new items

Did the one on Logan Road close down? And move?
I didn't know that. It's been a while since I went toyhunting, so didn't realise that one was gone. And when I asked the staff when they opened, they didn't mention anything about it being the Mt Gravatt store.
If they moved because of lack of business, they are doing worse at the new location. They'd be getting about the same exposure on a main road, but the store was empty when I was there at about 4pm.

Picked up a Soundwave Transformer Hero Masher from BigW Chermside tonight...Queensland has come to SA's party. Think there was one more left, there were also other wave 2 figures including Slag! GL!

They picked up and relocated from what I know. But not sure why. The way I found out was when I was at city farmers a few months ago (they'd just opened at Mt Gravatt next door to toyworld) and was inquiring about a pet product and the lady said they didn't have all their usual stock yet because they were waiting for toyworld to move out so they could expand into toyworlds floor space. I asked if she knew where toyworld was moving to and she mentioned she thought Sunnybank which matches up with your new toyworld sighting at MacGregor (close enough )...

I went to Oz-Comiccon today, and was surprised to see stacks of Transformers gear. alternate a Worlds had stacks of Roadbuster and Tankor, while a new store called ToysNkdownundet.com.au had heaps of Encore releases, Mp Prowl and Smokescreen, Starscream etc. I guess they must be related to ToysNK but their website didn't have the same range as at the show.

Also saw a new toy store, Comicbookheroes.com.au that happened up at Aspley.
Shop 2, 1355 Gympie Road, Aspley. The flyer listed Transformers, but they didn't seem to have any for sale at the show.

Yep, due to all the renovation/expansion and I dont think they were offered lease renewal, or it was too $$$, but I think the former. Sad for GC guys.
