Well we sort of had one at the advanced screening last year (though we forgot to invite Trunksy). Not sure if Goktimus has had any plans as of late though.

Anyhoo .... surprised there's been no news note about this.

Masterforce was released yesterday, mine even arrived in the mail this morning!

I've been waiting for the Press release for it. I'll hopefully pick mine up today, when I also hopefully get DBZ Boxset 3. Not holding much hope out for it though.

Goktimus organises small Sydney based meets almost every month.

And Burn, been meaning to ask you if the flooding is getting close to you? I know you are miles away from Mackay, but I also heard Cairns is heading for heaps of rain (even for Cairns).

Nope.

And Gokitmus organised the 2004 Sabrecon and was looking to continue it but life happened. That was a while ago and i'm not sure what his plans have been as of late.

I think the next meetup is planned for the next Parramatta collectables fair in March.

Scored me a Movie Longarm, and Madman Masterforce DVD set.

Big W stocking is weird, one week they restock with a single Cybertron Menasor, the next Waves 3 and 4 of the movie figures...

I've convinced myself that stock is rotated from store to store so it is more exposed to the general population, whether it be Big W or any other majors.
Often you see specific items that was at one suburban store and not in another, and after a certain time you see the same stuff at the other store, and not the original.

Of course, it's only a conspiracy theory at this time, but it gives me a legitimate excuse to buy things on the spot.
:P

Meh, wasn't much there really, and most of what was there was over-priced, or incomplete.

IF for some reason anyone is after Ultimate Bumblebee, there are about 3 dozen of him in TRU Chatswood, for $130 a piece.

Same store also has far too many legends two packs, and about 15 Leader Megatrons, and another 15 Leader Primes.

Same store also has far too many 3" Titanium Thundercracker's and Rodimus's for any store, and are trying to flog them off for $5.

Not been out to the 'riff store in a long time, due to their continually terrible or complete lack of stock. Although it has always been a weak store for current figures that are available in other stores (even TRU Parramatta) the movie line was worse than ever.

Targets are slowly restocking too, and the Premium Movie Deluxes have been spotted in various Victorian Toyworlds too, so they may arrive here soon.

Got me Stockade at a Kmart in Greater Western Sydney.

Not only did they half 4 stockades, as well as Camshaft, landmine and the like, but they also had the Scorponok vs. Bumblebee Legends packs, and most surprisingly an Ultimate Bumblebee, with a bonus Barricade and Scorponok figure for $137 or so.
