I saw the "eggs" in a couple caltexs, but no TFs ones at either.
Nice work on completing the set.
How many did you end up buying to get the set?

I think i ended up with 22 eggs.. which isnt too bad really.

i have some spares if you or anyone else is after them.. i will sort through them and list them up sometime over the weekend.

Found these at BigW (which is part of the same company as the Woolies Petrol stations).
They had them in a box of 12, so I grabbed the box and bought all 12, hoping that it would be one of each figurine per case... Naturally, I wasn't that lucky.

Box in it's non-display mode.

And how it was in the store

.
The contents of one Capsule - A figurine, a Sticker, bag of 9 jellybeans, catalogue of the set.

.
After opening up all 12, I only got 6 different figurines, and 8 different stickers. (stickers were random - not paired up with figurines)


As you can see, I didn't get any Shockwaves or Sentinels (which I wanted more because they were new characters to TF3). Instead, I got 6 of Optimus (all 3 versions), 3 of Bumblebee (2 of the 3 versions), and 3 Megatrons (all the same version).

That totally sucked.
I can understand that the capsules are packed randomly, so the boxes would have a random set of 12... but gee, the odds were 1 in 3 - which means out of every four Capsules, one of those four should be a Sentinel or Shockwave.
Unlike the "metallic" figurines from the previous movies, this wasn't a set I wanted to complete. I just wanted one of each character (there are only 5), preferring to at least get the two characters I didn't already have figurines of.
I guess it gives me something to hunt for while there isn't much on the toy shelves lately.
