Saw 2x Camshaft and Cliffjumper at Toyland Mt Druitt. Someone had taken the two Landmine's as well.

Guess what? Those wave 1's are now MASS RETAIL. Big W Blacktown got Camshaft, Cliffjumper and Landmine. Also they had the Rescue Ratchet and Thundercracker.
Why they repainted Swindle, I'll never know

O.o, I suppose I hop down to Big W tomorrow.

BTW if you were edging to get a Stars Wars Death Star, now the time to do so, its 59.95 at target :).

Front Paged and Credited Fang Wolf, and I am heading down there pretty much first thing tomorrow for a Rescue Ratchet (and possibly others).

And to think I had all but given up on Blacktown for toys!

Thanks Trunks, my first FPC in a looooong time, I wish I knew TC was rare though, would have laybuyed him too. Oh well. Hope you get Ratchet, only one left because of me. XD

None left at 9.30 this morning, then went on a small hunt to Big W's at Plumpton and Penrith. They too only had the Deluxes.

Toys R Us Penrith was a different kettle of fish though:
Check out your Toys 'R' Us too. Big W Blacktown was out of The Voyagers figures, but still had the Deluxes.

They had 8 Starscreams, 3 Thundercrackers, 4 Rescue Ratchets, and a plethora of Allspark Deluxes as well as G1 Jazz figures.

I'm happy now I got me a Landmine and Rescue Ratchet!

Found the Bumblebee/Barricade movie slot car set today in Toyworld Cairns.

Ridiculously overpriced at $150.

Yeah there have, I think TRU in Melbourne itself had some, and at least one other Melbourne Metro Store had them spotted as well.

I got me my MP Starscream from TRU Penrith, there were another 2 on the shelf that had some very bad paint apps (like yellow on the face, paint missing on the shoulders etc), but I did not check the top storage shelf ones (there were another 5 at least.
Also plenty of Voyager G1 Starscreams, Thundercrackers and Rescue Ratchets. No Allspark Deluxes yet.

but nothing cooks my canoli more than going into shop after shop and finding shelves full of usless transformer product, role play and helmets and those freaking walki talkies! and other rubbish tf products along the lines of that...bigW and target wetherilpark. THIS MEANS YOU! they overstock the crap and then scratch their heads why its still there a month later!

can someone please help me out here from west sydney, i really wanna get my hands: Landmine, Stockade, Incinirator and im sure there is another delux or 2 that arnt repaints that i cant think of at the moment

Landmine has been snapped up pretty quick. Big W seems to be the place to hunt, but Blacktown, Plumpton and Penrith sold out of theirs in less than 4 days (although Penrith and Blacktown still had plenty of Camshafts and even a few Cliffjumpers left over the weekend).

Stockade and Incinerator are not due till early next year.

Also Evolutions of a Hero and the Allspark line have been spotted in WA.

Thanks for the heads up about this. Took advantage of it the other day to finish off the Titaniums that I wanted (well aside from Thundercracker, still gotta track him down)

All for about $80. :grin:

Anyhow I shall update my loot in the Live-Journal Sometime today to prove it + other bargains I found.

Also I waved to Santa like someone suggested.

Wouldn't you know it!

Walked into Target Mt Druitt last night for Christmas shopping. Walk past the Transformers and who do I see???

Brawl, Jazz, Bonecrusher, Arcee, Swindle, Dreadwing alongside FAB Jazz, Prime, Starscream and Frenzy.

All had 2 of each figure on the shelf (3 Swindles though).

Check your stores if you are missing of the earlier wave figures, you may just find them.

Hi,

Im not a serious transformers collector, however i just wanted the concept bumblebee after watching the movie, but seeing as how rare they are...

Anyway i went to Myers in Sydney cbd today, saw 5-6 packs of bumblebee 2 pack with battledmg concept camaro.. very excited...but cost $50. Is that standard pricing? I didnt end up getting one cause the price is a little steep.

There were some classics, i think i saw prime and jetfire among others.

Are these pretty scarce?
