    So a friend of mine who managed to grab the last PotP Evolution Optimus Prime from Macquarie Big W said that a guy ahead of him took 3 of them. Guess he really liked them and/or was picking them up for friends, or else (hopefully not) they'll be scalped :-(

    Curious to know when this was, just for a stock level timeline sake. I picked up one last Thursday night and it came straight off a pallet, there were no others at the time.

    We had 2 84 and 3 Netflix when I walked out of work on Saturday morning, but going by the Big W website the 84s are now sold out.

    Took me a few stores until I found them, was starting to think the 84 set wasn’t available at all.

    Going to the Big W toy sale was kinda a bust but kinda not.

    On the one hand, they had none of the four I really wanted (Unicronus, Optimal and SS Grimlock & Blackout) as they only got a few of each and they sold out fast!

    On the other hand, the main sales assistant turned out to be a Transformers fan and knew who I was . Apparently he is not a member here but comes on here sometimes and through OzF has become a reader of my Blog and recognized me from all the photos on there

    Anyway, he told me that they had only gotten two boxes of the four I was after (and of those he had grabbed one of each for himself) and the others had sold out super fast. He was kind enough to offer to check to see if they would get more in and if so put them aside for me, and in the meantime put me onto some $24 SS figures for myself and some $10 TR figures for my son. Nice bloke

    Anyway, turns out they had one each of the four I wanted left at Big W in Bathurst so my mum-in-law grabbed them for me so got what I wanted in the end, just have to wait until she visits on Sunday


    Oh, and in case he reads this thread: Hi Jamie
    Hi Trev.
    No worries mate, sorry I couldn't help with the leaders. Glad to hear you were able to get all 4 from Bathurst.

    Thursday morning, I guess between 9 and 10am. Friend went to Top Ryde first at 9am after dropping off the kids, and they were sold out. Then he went to Macquarie and got it, which is when he saw this guy.

    I went there (Macquarie) on my lunch break, and the service desk said they had zero stock of any leaders (based on the code from the website) and the handheld thingy she was looking at said they had zero on order.

    She then used a computer to check other stores, and called around. So if you got one Thursday night you must've gotten lucky.

    Perhaps the pallet I got mine from arrived during that day? It was un-boxed from the carton right in front of me.

    When my muminlaw checked the Big W in Bathurst she couldn’t see any of the new leaders, so played the confused old lady card and gave her list to a employee who then found them out the back.

    So if you can’t find what you want on the shelves it may be worth an ask
