So Ultimate Bumblebee will cost you the same as Leader Prime... If you can find anything bar Cyber Slammer's in store...

What really sucks is that the Voyagers should normally be about the $30 mark, seeing as how the AU$ is hovering around US$0.90

I'm looking more for Longarm. I don't really want anymore Voyagers.

Looks like ill finally get Leader Primer (thought Id be satisfied with voyager prime but I think ill cave in). May even pick up a voyager Megatron and Ironhide, if they have any stock of course.

Don't really see anything I want there. Except maybe voyager Ironhide or Blackout, but I'm not particularly interested in them.

I think parents will be glad the sale is after the school holidays, that way they wont have their bratty kids whining about how they need an expensive toy right now, or they'll die. :grin:

Although that is the exact reason Kmart has it's big July sales in the School holidays...

Yes the dollar is very nice right now. Some predict it might be dollar for dollar in a few months. Oooh wouldn't that be nice. 79 bucks for Ultimate BB is cheap.

Doubt stores will pass on those savings though.

And according to the lovely people at OTCA, it seems that Rescue Ratchet has been out since mid September. So there is a minuscule chance that you may be able to find him in this sale. (But I doubt it so very very much).

So far it seems to be a $49.99 TRU exclusive, but who knows.

Might go to Target and get Ultimate Bumblebee for $79.99 and cancel the Lay Buy for $150 at K-Mart.

Good idea, make sure you can get one at Target first though!
A good place to look for them if you cannot find them is on the very top shelf partially hiding behind excess PC's and Beamers, that's where I have always spotted him in Target.

Then again people do hide them right on the inside of shelves and also on the very bottom.

Not sure about all Tragets, but the 3 I frequent have all been "retooled" and all those places are too small to hide him, unless you lay him on his side! He's too wide to lay down on his back. :grin:
