WA Transformers Sightings.

My gf picked up for me the universe cyclonus, hound and starscream from Big W Belmont today for 25.44 each...... But she said that there was only one hound and one starscream when she left.

At least that means that they are in the mainstream shops in perth now so check your local Big W for similar finds...

Arrr... ya lucky bugger!

I was over at Kmart Innaloo last weekend (sorry... late post) and actually managed to pick up a Universe Hound (only one there).

Other Universe series left:
Deluxe Cheetors, Smokescreens, as well as a Dinobot @ $29
Several boxes of both Gestalt sets

The Animated toys on offer weren't particularly special, and neither were the stacks of Movie Ultimate BB (dunno where these are popping out from!).

Paul at FiguresDirect.com.au has in-stock Universe Voyagers Overload, Leo Prime & Inferno.

Hey SentinelPrime,
Does figuresdirect do local pickup?

[kurdt_the_goat]

I asked once (a year ago though) and he said no, but i was a relatively new customer, so that may have influenced his answer.

Figures Direct has a stand at Nexus tho, which is only a week and a bit away, perhaps you could just email him to ensure he'll have the item you want and get one reserved for pickup at the fair.

Hey SentinelPrime,

Paul seemed happy to do pickup when I asked him. Ping him an email hes usually pretty prompt with his responses.

Hey SentinelPrime,

I've only ever picked-up from the dude. He works at East Perth last time I checked, and will do pick-ups from there during weekday office hours.


Kmart Garden City:
Restocks at laaaaassst! Here's the interesting stuff:

Animated:
A stack of the Jetfire/Jetstorm two packs.
Earlier wave deluxes, including Optimus, Ratchet, etc. Didn't see any Bumblebee though.

Universe:
Voyager Threadbolts on the shelves!!
A stack of Bruticus gestalts (but no Superions...)
Latest wave deluxes - alas, I just had to get the Starscream & Cyclonus, so now there's 1x Hound, 1x Cheetor, 3x Smokescreen left.

I reckon the Cheetor & Dinobot are pretty ugly - probably why they're warming shelves. Smokescreen has dodgey paint apps, making Silverstreak the best of this mold (although for character, Prowl's got my vote!)

Hey SentinelPrime,
Does figuresdirect do local pickup?

He sure does. Drop him a email for what you want during the week, and meet him (usually at Kardinya Shopping Centre on Saturday) for a pickup.
He doesnt update his website very often, and even has items that have been sold out up to 12 months ago still listed. Its hard being a sole operator.
Even if you have a wish list he will certainly do his best.
Having suppliers in both Japan and China aswell as Hasbro locally, he always sorts me out with whatever I need, every week to be extact. I dont even bother with local retailers.

I think I may have bumped into a fellow Ozformer at Kmart morley today. Not sure, as I was in a hurray, so didn't really have time to chat. Kind of a wierd sighting

Target Morley has a few left-over activator, Megatron, Badnut Lockdown and some Ultimate BUmblebees.

Kmart had some restock of the wave of animated with Oilslick, a Bunch of Jazzes, senty Primes. Most stock I hae seen for a while there, but no Blurrs yet...

[Zahhak]

Kmart kardynia had a majour restock or older toys too. Oil Slick, Prime Ratchet...about 6-7 of most of them. Including jazz, swoop ect ect.
Also had the universes in..mostly hound w/ravage and cyclonus but there was a starscream and smokescreen.
