Australia Transformers sightings

Postby Saya » Thu Jan 25, 2007 8:08 pm

Well, the old thread got up to over 20 pages! Let's see if we can do even better with this one, so post your sightings here!

Yes, I know this isn't exactly a great time of year for TF sightings, but there's always something out there. Or I guess we could bitch about there being nothing out there like I'm about to...

Yeah. Yesterday I went looking around, hoping maybe Ramjet had been released. No such luck, in fact most stores are basically devoid of anything but minicons! Oh I hate this time of year.

Well as I mentioned yesterday, Titanium Rodimus Prime and Soundwave!

Notice the price tags ($49.99) -

And then what I paid because I argued that they're gits -

I've finally seen Classic Legends start popping up in Adelaide, in Big W only so far.

Found both Soundwave and Rodimus 6" Titaniums on my roadtrip at Toyworld in Warragul Victoria. Both had a $49.99 price tag on them, so they remained on the shelves.
Leongatha Toyworld (also in Victoria) had Energon Dreadwing for $50 and all wave 1 minicon classics.

Back in NSW, Parramatta TRU has absolutely nothing but a few Classics minicons, Universe Snowcat and a few talking 20th Primes.
Phantomzone hasn't got the UM Spotlight in yet, but still had plenty of Escalation #3.
Havent seen Grimlock out since about Christmas, so hopefully he'll come out in a month or so when stores finally put Ramjet and Cliffjumper out.

I feel your pain mate. I'm in the same boat as you. Hasbro, Jetfire, NOW! :evil: and a decent release of titaniums would be nice too...

You know, I should feel really bad for buying the only Jetfire in Blacktown Target about 3 days after Christmas, but I dont. :P

If it's any comfort he's gone to a good home, and is much loved :grin:

I'm still having no luck finding Jetfire anywhere.
Hornsby K-Mart and Target don't seem to have restocked their TF shelves in months!
Myer has wave 2 in stock again.
DJs have Cybertron Legends.

Mine has no QC probs either, Myers Blacktown has another, but he's 30, classics are now 28 in Kmart, no Jetfires yet, no Primes, no Megs.

I wish I got Prime now, even though I hate him :-x

I've noticed prices have snuck up since before Christmas, and it wouldnt surprise me if they went up another $1 for basics to $5 for Voyagers/Ultras in time for the movie merch.

TRU Penrith has expanded their TF section to about half of what it was before they moved it, but it is very empty, filled with only Classics Prime and Megatron, plus about 100 Cybertron Megatron and Metroplex and a few Quickmix's.

Big W Plumpton had the Classics Legends, which is the first I have seen of them, but then again I havent really been looking.

Anyone got any idea on if we are getting the UM Skywarp pack, or is it going to be like Universe Devastator -_- we need an exclusive the US wont get to make up for the greatness that is Skywarp.

Classics Cliffjumper and Ramjet are in stock now at Case Fresh. Thought everyone would like to know. Jetfire is Pre-sold out, and Alternators have been pushed back even further now.

I have heard rumours that we may not be getting the UM vs. Skywarp pack, and no-one at TRU Penrith has yet ordered them in if they are available (but TRU seem to get stock in a few months after everyone else)

I hope we get Skywarp on his own, but I severely doubt it.

The Deluxe Classics Prime and Megatron have been sighted at various Toyworlds throughout Australia, the general price seems to be about $50 or so.

Targets in Victoria have started stocking the Prime vs. Megatron 2 packs, prices range from $45 to $49.
Also the 2nd wave of the minicons have also been sighted in Victoria as well.

Quite odd, as Brisbane and Adelaide are often the first places newer figures are sighted. No sightings in NSW yet.

Target at Hornsby NSW had both the Optimus Prime / Megatron ($50) and the Ultra Magnus / Skywarp ($45) packs in stock.

About 3 to 4 of each set.

The Magnus Skywarp 2 pack has also been spotted at Target Erina for $45.
Quite a good deal seeing as Prime cost $45 just for him.

You been in Victoria recently Trunks?
I was down there last week for a Discworld convention.
I checked out Target, K-Mart, Myer, DJs and Toys R Us at Chadstone, and a Toyworld store I found too.
I saw Prime vs Megs two pack at Toyworld and almost nothing at all in all the other shops.

Hmm, Magnus vs Skywarp for $45 at hornsby? I might just have to pick that up!
I stopped bothering to even look in Hornsby DJs and Target recently because they've been so poorly stocked.

Was down their in late January. Finally managed to get more than 3 straight days off with my gf, so we went down to see the Penguins, didnt really do much toy shopping outside of the Melbourne CBD.

Still nothing in Blacktown or Penrith, and I am sure Mt Druitt hasnt restocked, as last week they still had half an aisle full of Cybertron figures.

I noticed today that Casefresh are now listing Jetfire as Sold Out rather than Pre-Sold Out so I assume that means he has arrived.
Maybe he'll start appearing in normal shops soon.

You know, if I do not see Jetfire, SW/UM and OP/Megs at blacktown target tomorrow, I am so going to abuse who ever orders, as they have tons of crap no one buys and more or less, no transformers.
