QLD Transformers Sightings.

Kreh80, your best chance is to check Myer, and I think they still have their toy sale on, so try around there. If they don't you'll probably have to go online for it.

Thanks, called myer today and they're helping out.

CW Devastator sold out this morning at both Big W Garden City and Big W Underwood. Garden City says they have six more incoming but two were already on hold.

I've put one on hold for the next shipment at Garden City but have since gotten one, if you want the hold, PM me and I'll give you the details.

That's funny, when I spoke to them just now the person assured me they hadn't received any what so ever, and when I asked if it was possible to put a future one on hold was flatly told no.

I also spoke to Redbank, who at the time claimed to have one left but the person didn't sound especially convincing (and at first had no idea what I was talking about) and was again told putting one on hold was impossible as it was a catalogue item. Mt Ommaney said they hadn't received their shipment, and didn't know when they would.

This is a shambles, but I suppose I shouldn't have expected much from Big W. They've been a bit crap about toys lately, Transformers especially.

Weird. I was there at 8:10am this morning and the lady told me that they had six this morning in her trolley ready to be put out but three people came and bought them all.

Another person was inquiring about it at the same time and she took both of our names down (along with another person for this Cars race track) telling us she expected six more to come.

[Nonalyth]

I don't doubt that. There appears to be very little communication between staff members regarding this whole thing.

To add for those hunting; I changed my normal bus route to work this morning and got myself to the CBD store on opening. After searching, I was told they were not getting any in. (The assistant - who was seated at the front doors on a toy sale table, dressed as a minion and beside a sign, "ask for assistance" - must of thought I was going to launch into a rant because she quickly explained that it was stated that not all stores would get them but every suburban store in Brisbane would be). I just let her know that CBD wasn't listed - and as I spoke realised it's called Macarthur and was listed! - and 2 northside stores were as far as I could tell. She seemed genuinely surprised and apologetic and was certain that all stores were getting them but in the city.

Footnote to that, there was a large number of people (about 20 who seemed to be shopping together) asking for a number of items that weren't available (not just Devastator) - and I overhead their deliberations that they were heading to Brookside and expected to be there before it opened so I wouldn't hold hope of finding any sought after items there.

I'm not expecting to find one until later in the year given I won't get away from work to go anywhere else until this evening.

[Nonalyth]

I'm going to attempt to put one on laybuy at a store this afternoon to secure any future stock, assuming I can't find one. Which I probably won't. Which hurts me deeply.

WENT to capalaba. SOLD OUT. carindale same. Garbage City same... So disappointed...

[griffin]

Still no catalogue Transformers at Garden City. I asked when they will get them in and they had no idea... which is disappointing that they weren't ready for the catalogue.

They did restock the RID Hero Mashers wave 1, which I was actually glad to see as they disappeared really fast in January, and they aren't being released in America.


ToysRUs today had the Mega Optimus and RID Clash Legion 2-packs, but sold out of Stingers again.
There was a single, slightly-crushed, MP Star Saber at the front registers if anyone wanted to get it for $240 with the 20% off voucher in the OZ news section of this site.
