The Classics were scarce, but with the Myer sale that is running currently both they and the Cybertron line are back on shelves.

The $50 price tag for the 2 pack of Movie Bumblbee's is spot on, since Deluxes normally run for $27-$30 there is a small saving, as long as you wanted the '77 Bumblebee as well.

Hobby Co in Queen Victoria Building in Sydney had a fair range on movie stuff plus two Rodimus/Starscream Classics pack for $36.99 (or, at least, one after I left with the other).

TRU in Miranda Fair had a Masterpiece Starscream for $100 - but the packaging was quite damaged (they still wouldn't give me a discount though!).

If you are after cheap Attacktix (Transformers or otherwise) check out your local Go-lo stores, as they are selling the blister boosters for a paltry $3 a set, (instead of $10), and the larger sets for $7 instead of $20.

Check out your Coles stores if you are in the hunt for the first and second waves of the Real Gear robots, they seem to be the only stores that are consistently re-stocking their transformers figures!

Coles still have Transformers? Wow.

On that note Mr. Toys in the Myer Centre in Brisbane City got a bit of a re-stock lately:
*Early wave Real Gear figures
*Movie scouts (Armorhide, Arcee, Elita-1? etc)
*Of course those FABs that have been sitting around for months
*Voyager Megs
*Leader OP and Megs

I'm still US-MP Starscream less, if anyone in the Brisbane area can tell me where to pick one up, that would be awesome.
I've rang TRU Mt. Gravatt several times before xmas with no luck.

Well, there's here, TAAU, OzFormers, or Ravage but I don't know if he's still operating.

Big W Plumpton restocked with Movie Deluxes from Wave 1:
Brawl, Barricade, Jazz, Scorponok,'74 Bumblebee, and Bonecrusher and Arcee.

But Transformers now shares its section with Spiderman 3 stuff, so it's got only an itty bitty section now.

The last wave of alternators will never make it to our shores.
Allspark figures will trickle out over the next month or two, before the premiums get released.

TRU Chatswood had 1 of the Longarm Movie Screen pack for $50.


Also had a tonne of Megatron Turnarounds, some FAB frenzy and Megatron's, 1 legends Megatron, assorted Replica's and only 1 Barricade RC figure left.

Also about 8 pegs of 3 inch Titanium Rodimus and Thundercracker.

I've spotted Ironhide a few times already at Big W (Melbourne). It seems Big W has been getting a few shipments of the wave 1 dlx and voy figs the past few weeks. See if you can find it at your local one. It's retailing for approximately $40.

I brought myself a cityrail Daytripper on Wednesday (today being Friday) and thought I'd check out what TFs were out in Sydney.

There wasn't much, but some of the things that caught my eye;

- 3 x Ultimate Bumblebees (the forth is now mine!), Target Bondi, $120 each, decent enough packaging, one had a dead battery.
- Multiple Beatmix Bumblebee's in Myers/DJs in Tuggerah, Bondi, City, Parramatta, Macarthur ... $120 each
- Deluxe class Longarm and Dropkick, Kmart Bankstown
- Deluxe class Concept Camaro Bumblebee(NOT MISB) and Dreadwing, SW death Star (NOT MISB), Kmart Parramatta
- Multiple Energon/Cybertron basic class repaints, megatron turnarounds and real gear figures, TRU Parramatta
- Multiple Autobot Jazz, Bonecrusher and Wreckage ($28 each)and Armada Battle for Cybertron boardgame ($59 each) in Imperial Centre toy store, Gosford. There was also a storewide sale, so take 20% off these prices.

As for the other stores I checked at Tuggerah, Gosford, Woy Woy, Bondi, City, Campbelltown, Macarthur, Bankstown and Parramatta, there wasn't much.

I intend to check Broadway, Burwood, Ashfield, Erina and perhaps a few other suburbs within the next week. Will keep you lot posted if I see anything.

Nabbed me a Cybertron Menasor for $25 from Big W, sticker said all Cybertron Ultras should be that price, so check out your Big W's incase they have some left over.

While you are there head over to menswear and nab yourself some Transformers themed t-shirts for $20 a pop.

Bendigo Toyworld still has a large volume of TF stock, but its going FAST!! I managed to nab a voyager sized Ironhide on Friday, there's still one on the shelves if you hurry...is it just me, or does it seem that everywhere seems to have only bothered to stock Megs in the voyager class??

I think it's the fact that he is very unpopular as a figure, no matter the size class. He has the most FAB and leader sized figures left on shelves too.

Or if you look at it from the perspective of someone who doesn't hate every aspect of the movie, it could be a case of because he's the Decepticon leader and the big bad of the movie that he may have been produced in more numbers than other characters.

Probably a mix of the two. :grin:
I believe that in the Voyager and Leader Classes he was shipped in even numbers with Prime, but I believe his FAB figure was shipped 2 to every 1 Frenzy and Blackout figure.
