Steal of a Deal: Australia Big W Mid-Year Toy Sale

Meijer is having another sale on Transformers. Its a buy one get one 50% off. See photos.

Good thing there isn't an Ollie's near me.

Thanks once more to fellow fansite Ozformers, we have some sightings and sales news for Australian Transformers fans looking to round out some Titans Return collections: it looks like chain retail store Big W is having a line-wide sale, meaning that Legends, Deluxe and Voyager are all discounted!

In the images below, courtesy of Ozformers, you can see Seaspray and Cosmos for AUS$ 5 (USD 3.68), Slugslinger, Hot Rod, Kup, Hardhead for AUS$ 10 (USD 7.37, all conversions are at the time of writing, of course), and Blitzwing and Octaoaoane for AUS$ 15 (USD 11.05). Drool away at those prices, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

I think that was probably the "Ollie-Days" sale that only ran the last week of June. I bought 2 Overlords on Sunday, and the only discount was my 10% off coupon.

That was the Farmington Ollie's, which also had two Octones for $12.99. Haven't checked Westland in a few days, but since Trypticons also only showed up at the former, and neither had that last wave of deluxes, I wouldn't be surprised if they had none.

So a warning to anyone counting on finding PotPredaking for $50.00 at Ollie's next year: The store is not reliable! Fun, yes. But never bank on finding any particular toy there.

I reported this a week ago. Guess I don't rate.

Did you send the info to the news staff as well?

Yes Sabrblade, on this site and instagram - I posted it to the general discussion after I didn't get a reply. I even added my findings to the sightings section. It's all good, I'm used to it. I don't rate. My Ollie's has a lot more than Overlord.

I mean, did you use the "Submit News" feature to contact the staff directly? A lot of things posted in the forums unfortunately get missed sometimes by the staff if they aren't alerted to it.

Ah man, sorry we missed you! We're only human just like the rest of you (at least, I'm pretty sure most of us are. I have my suspicions about Va'al and his insane news-posting rate), and we do miss posts sometimes . If you want to let us know about news, feel free to shoot an email to news(at)seibertron.com to make sure it doesn't slip past us!

Glad for everyone who's getting a chance to pick up Overlord, Octone and Trypticon for low prices recently. I'm very fond of all of them, even at full price, so I hope those picking them up for cheap enjoy them now!

Like I said it's a good. I'm moving on anyway. I already asked Cyber Bishop to delete my account and all of my custom posts. Thanks, I'm glad everyone is getting Overlord at a good price.

I went to my local Ollie's last week after seeing Overlord in the sightings section from a guy in New York, as he was one of my missing guys I wanted to collect... like other people said, they had a ton of him, like 25 of them at my Ollie's. Also alot of Octone and Blitzwing. I looked around for deluxes and they had wolfwires on the shelf, but I was pleasantly suprised also to find a box on top of the shelf with another wolfwire, 2 windlbades a misfire and twin twist with flameout! I bought a windblade misfire and twin twist at 8 bucks (7.99) and also the overlord at 19.99, I think the voyagers were about 12 bucks.

EDIT: The person who I followed the tip on was Broadside27, so big thanks to him! Also, I got the Ollie Days discount at 15 percent off all purchases, so I wound up paying about 40 bucks for what would have been 48 or so after taxes.

Slugslinger?! GIMME!
