I think we only got one box of voyagers, and i bought the starscream =D

i remember back in 2007 the figures came out full swing with about 2 weeks left to go at uni, hehe i remember i missed a lecture to pick up Optimus Prime leader class hehehe.

any idea on the first wave release date anyone?

30th of May...official release for the first wave, but they've already been appearing everywhere :grin:

i called around to target at Blacktown, Castlehill, Parra, Liverpool. none of them have any revenge of the fallen stuff. the only revenge stuff iv found ive already mentioned a few posts above this one.

i remember this time 2 years ago i already had leader prime, blackout, protoform prime, barricade, jazz and 76 camaro bumblebee. all of these from target in liverpool and wetherill park. they were really on the ball in 2007 and got out a bunch of stuff real early.

i got an inside man at a kmart so will let u know when he sees the figures come in.

good hunting everyone,

A friend of mine was at eastgardens over the weekend and says they had ROTF deluxe and voyagers out. I'm thinking that maybe the hasbro reps are setting up the displays that have been seen in stores. I know we only got 2 boxes of deluxe bumble bee and soundwave, and thats all we had up until thursday. I went in saturday morning and there was the full display of deluxe, voyagers, robot heros etc. So id say, hasbro reps are setting up the displays, which is why there is only one box of voyagers per store at the moment. Just a thought..

Nice catch Dkaris.

It would be strange if the Hasbro reps are indeed responsible for setting up the displays, you would think that they would be the most aware of the embargo dates, not that I think Aussie TF fans will be complaining.

The official set date for the revision at Target stores is May 24th, which means the revision should get reset sometime this week in all Targets if it hasn't already. May 24th is the day it's supposed to be set by, not the exact date. Unless your Target is really behind (which it might be: HBA/cosmetics set last week and this week for most stores and it's a bear to do) you should see ROTF figures on the shelves within the next week.

Yeah it was Demolisher. Suprisingly a lot of our rotf stuff hasnt been sold yet, then again the kiddies probably dont know theres a new movie out soon.

Also found out how we got our stock so fast, I said the other day i thought a hasbro rep had put up the display. Turns out our manager got the stuff in on a pallet and set it up on Friday, even though two team members told him release date was teh 30th, and he was breaking embargo =/

parramatta target has a whole bunch of em.

if you went hunting around parramatta westfields, you'll find a tonne of animated, tf:movie 1 stuff and alot of universe 2.0 stuff.

i really DO NOT miss hunting for dam transformers. havnt done it since the first movie since i didnt want to get any animated stuff. its a real tease when all we get is stuff that is 2 years old lol, especially since this time 2 years ago i had most of the first wave stuff already. whats with the delay this time around? its a tease! lol

I checked our stock tonight, our ROTF stuff has been out for about a week and not much as really sold. We still have voyager prime, ironhide and demolisher. plus the deluxe, scouts and robot heros. I guess all the kiddies dont know that theres a new movie coming

I just got new rotf soundwave and bumblebee, never really like the first ones in the first movie but as soon as i saw soundwave it made me change my mind. im more like a collector of the henkei and beast wars toysline. so if you are interested with henkei let me know cos i know this bloke that supplies it and luckily its just near my work so dont need to get it posted just need to give em a call and by the next day they have them. the thing is its just a bit expensive but who cares at least i get what i want. So does anyone from blacktown or near it knows when the rotf toyline is coming out? or when it is hitting the shelves let just say im keen and willing to pay if your info is right.

I am what you call a 'kiddy' and I am aware of this movie...probably because I follow anything transformer-ish. including the original cartoons, i may not have seen them first hand when they were aired but i have the dvds

Just gtt the new Kmart catalogue. They have Leader prime in it for $79, reduced from $99. Sale starts the 28th, and also says that transformers 2 figures are out now.
I think this sale applies only to Sylvania, Waratah,Nowra and penrith at least thats what the catalogue says.

Interesting on two accounts:
1. that the ledaer price point is now $99, not $89 so there is proof of the prices being bumped up for the movie.
2. Limited stores getting the sales prices, cannot vouch for the other stores, but Penrith is 24/7 store, so I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Maybe more Kmart stores will have them other then the locations i mentioned. Maybe only those locations were on that catalogue because they are the closest stores to my area os sydney? I dunno. I may check Big w before work tonight to see if they have anything out yet.

Apparently Sylvania is another 24 hour store, so perhaps those four NSW stores will be open from Midnight, just like when there are the big toy sales on? I am certain that Kmart are not daft enough to limit this sale to only 4 out of their 30+ NSW stores.

Ok Ive gone into work tonight, (Target) and we have all our stock in -

2 or 3 boxes of leader class prime and megatron, i think in total we have 3 or 4 of each
boxes of deluxe figs. Saw heaps of sideswipes, sideways, that F35 jet i forget the name of, and one of the constructicons, i think it was a yellow bulldozer.
We also have a fair few boxes of the voyagers in, so ironhide, prime, starscream and demolisher. as well as FABs and the smaller figures, i think their scout class?

Anyway we're putting ours on display this saturday. theres a marking on every box, dont put on shelf until May 30th. I guess Kmart have some special deal with hasbro maybe. Also i think theres a 15 percent off store wide sale on at target.

For the record, i scanned a few items tonight,

Leader class at full price are 99.95
voyager class are 49.99
and the deluxe class are 29.95. Happy hunting =]

Bonus is Target should have 15% off all transformers toys, if they have stock on the shelves, while Kmart only has $20 off the Leader class figures.

i picked up:
Starscream
Demoloshor
Sideswipe
Sideways
Breakaway
Rampage
Deadend
Dirtboss
knock out

all for $229

i think i may have picked up the last of just about all the deluxes and voyagers that i got but there are still ironhide repaints and alot of the scouts, bumbleee and soundwaves

sadly when i was there, no leader primes or megatron just 1 or 2 voyager primes.

the shelf where the tfs usually are was empty except for bumblebee 2 pack thing from TF07

stiill nothing, not even the previews figs at Toys r US or BigW

good hunting guys. any good spots for Leader Prime out there?
