Online sightings (Australian companies)

Someone else in Brisbane has told me that they just picked up their pre-ordered Velocitron Scourge from EBGames today... so it looks like they FINALLY got their stock in.
My current Hasbro contact kept telling me that the entire line was exclusive to Kmart and that EBGames was not supposed to be getting it, so when the Scourge was pushed back a few months, it had me thinking that it was indeed a mistake, and that EB were not getting it.... so I finally bit the bullet last week and bought one from Kmart (and cancelled my EB pre-order).

One of the good things about all of these cancellations I have been doing lately with EBGames (due to delays or cheaper options suddenly showing up first elsewhere), is that I have managed to now pay off about half of my Haslab Victory Saber.

I also got charged for my Velocitron Scourge a day or two ago, with the $60 price honou

Thanks for this I wanted to buy Deep Cover from them for a while now and discount pushed it over.

I saw tonight that JB Hi-Fi has now got SS86 Ironhide available for delivery - just ordered myself. Didn't seem to be at retail yet.

The 'in store' stock levels on their website are pretty inaccurate. If it says it's in stock, it is, but if it says it's not, it might still be!

The Launnie JB had stacks of Transformers in over the last few months that wouldn't show up as being in stock on the website for weeks.

Handy thing to note with JBs online listings, if the store has less than two in stock, it will say the store is out of stock. This is to avoid any issues with online orders.

SS86 Ironhide now on JB HI-FI website for $55

Is there any online sightings of SG flamewar and Slicer?

Nah, I mean - they had stacks of Minervas, Jackpots, etc at various points (we're talking 10 Minervas!) and nothing online, not a thing. It seems to catch up after a week or so.

They showed up today at the Sydney Pitt St store, and I collected mine today.

Had to do a bit of back and forth regarding the price (I'd only paid a $10 deposit) but in the end, they agreed to honour the $60 price.

However, I believe EB price match as a backup - in case they try and make you pay full price.

It looks like those two won't be coming to Australia. All of the other SG toys have/will be here though... so just two need to be chased up from other sources to complete the set.

Flamewar went on order in Singapore back in August (supposedly due this month). Slicer hasn't appeared yet.
