WA Transformers Sightings.

[Tabias Prime]

i might give toyworld Kalamunda a go,joondalup is a bit out of the way for me as i live in Belmont..

[Gasaraki]

Hey Tabias Prime, can't say I have seen any north of the river (being that I never go up there) but all my local south of the river toyworlds have multiple Hounds, so you should be able to get one from your local toyworld.

Dude, Belmont is south of the river

Whoops my bad, was thinking of Balcatta doi! haha

[Tabias Prime]

[Tabias Prime]

the problem with Belmont is it pretty much central for everything..belmont is more east of the river according to some people

Hey Guys,
Not a sighting but some news about Shockwave, spoke with Paul over at Figuresdirect last night this what he had to say:

"In checking a product list that I have from Hasbro before sending this email I noticed that there are NO Voyager assortments due for release here in Australia for the first four months of 2009.

With that I mind, I have the feeling that we’re most likely not going to see Shockwave or any future Voyager Animated TFs in Australia due to the fact that the movie line is due very soon and I suspect Hasbro Australia will put all their effort into that particular line."

Paul definitely seems to be on the money, does it strike anyone as odd that we have gotten all the deluxes that came out after Shockwave in the US before our release of Shockwave.
Plus consider the rumoured cancellation of the Animated show combined with Rumours of running down the production of Animated figures, deluxes sell best that is why that is probably why that is all we are seeing.

I am off to buy Shockwave from Ebay and pay some hideous price for him.

Have a good one fellas.

Man, I've been waiting for new voyagers to show up in retail. Looks like I'll have to get new ones from an oversea source then. :/

Hi guys,

Just had a look in Kmart Warwick...

They had a few universe toys including ironhide, cyclonus, galvatron and legends hound and G2 megatron, also the voyagers included a few onslaught etc.

animated included jazz, swoop, snarl, soundwave, bumblebee (night patrol), oil slick and then big bots ultra magnus.

and movie starscreams plus ultimate bumblebees going for $79

probably doesn't tickle anyones fancy, just thought i'd let you know.

Midland
Kmart
No real restock happened but the shelves got reorganised.
Universe Superion & Bruticus, Tankor, Sideswipe, Prowl, Ironhide, Some SE's, prime and overkill I think. Usual Ultras. No new animated.
Craploads of Ultimate BB
Big W
Out of universe deluxes. Still the usual ultras though.

Belmont
Kmart
Looked like a major restock happened.
Craploads of universe Superion & Bruticus.
Many USE's, cheetor, prowl, mudflap, and some others I forget. Usual Ultras.
Craploads of Ultimate BB
Restock on, but ultimately no new animated.
Big W
Universe acid storm, galvy and prowl. Usual Ultras.


Things I didn't spot tonight: Cyclonus, Hound and Treadbolt (dammit)

[Tabias Prime]
