Hi peoples, I was just wondering if there was anywhere else in Australia that you can get the Masterpiece Transformers that aren't imported by Hasbro (ie: Magnus) other than from Transfigure Toys? Thanks in advance, Mr K
You're in luck. There's one Magnus left at Target in Morayfield for $89.95. I saw him hidden under a trestle yesterday and was seriously considering buying him. Instead I splashed out instead on two used PS2 games which came to the same (thanks to one being half price). So he's still there. Presumably. But Targets are your best chance to get him... I don't think Target's agreement of selling MP figures from Japan will prolly be repeated. (But go on, Target, prove me wrong! I'm so willing to be shown up!)
Thanks Misatokitty, I think i may have worded my question wrong though. I already have Magnus (found him at Target Carindale last year ) but thanks for that imformation, I'm sure another Aus collector will love to hear there's one left out there. I was trying to ask though if there was any other place to get the Masterpiece Transformers apart from Magnus, in Australia other than from Transfigure Toys. I don't have anything against the company, I've never bought from them, I just wondered if they had any competition that might be cheaper?
Hey, Myer has released their Christmas Toy Catalogue now and if you follow this link you'll see the page with the Transformer specials.Myer Transformer Sale In the catalogue the pictures of the deluxe and voyager transformers should be swapped - just thought I'd point it out as I saw the price of LeoBreaker and then the price and got excited Though they don't have it in the catalogue I'm hoping they may have the other transformers on special (ie: beast wars and R.I.D. packaged Cybertron Optimus and Ultra Magnus, but i'll know Thursday night and then let ya's all know. Mr K EDIT: Toys R Us has put up their latest catalogue also and has Leader class figures with bonus scout for $35.95!!!!!!!!!!! Here's the weblink: Toys R Us
I was in Myers tonight in Queen St Mall and didn't notice price drops on the other TFs. Actually, they had very little in the Classics range as well (a couple of Megatrons and Optimus', several Bumblebees) and when I asked about the classics minicons got told outright flat "no," they had none. Pity. I'm only after the Dinobot minicons, as well, since I found the others in Myers Maroochydore (only set of each) but not seeing them anywhere (that said, Harbinger told me he saw the new Classics minicons in a local Toyworld in VIC, but I haven't yet seen them in toyworlds here.)
Hmm. FOund some Nemesis Primes yesterday. Toyworld in Morayfield had 3 they "found in a box out the back". Bought one, there are still 2 or so there.
Hi, picked up classics jetfire from target Chermside and North Lakes in Brisbane for 44.99. No more left that i saw but other targets may have him. Chermside toyworld is really overstocked with cybertron metroplex for just over $40. Some K marts overstocked with alternators op prime to. Cheers
Found classics prime+megs 2 pack last night, toyworld level 2 myers had some. no other new ones, though. enjoy ^^
They must have only just put them out. They weren't there on Wednesday, but there were four of the 2-packs at Indooroopilly Toyworld. Only 2 were left there after a Sydney fan (dirge) and I grabbed a set each. Price for anyone interested - AU$45. While I'm here, thought I would also mention the half dozen Titanium Soundwaves and Rodimus Primes that were at Chermside Toyworld for AU$50 each, on the 20th.
Also, saw Classics Legends in Nambour today ($6.95 each) at Toyworld and... somewhere else, but I can't remember where. Only the second place had... Lio Convoy or whoever the white lion one is. It was either Big W in Nambour or somewhere in Morayfield. Yay big drives while waiting for surgery to complete.
Hey there. I'm taking a trip to Melbourne this saturday for three weeks. Can you give me any leads on Transformer hunting down under? I'm mostly looking for Japanese or G1 stuff, or anything I coudn't normally find in the states. Your help would be much appreciated. Also, we may take a trip down to Adelaide so I'd love to hunt there too. Reply here, PM me, or email me at [email protected] thanks!! James aka Ikado.
BIG Update for AUS collectors!!! Hey hey ppl, Today at Wynnum Toyworld (South Brisbane QLD) I found the Classics 2-pack of Optimus Prime and Megatron Tank with bonus DVD for $45.00. They had at least 3 that I can remember - they also had Wave 1 of Classics Legends in and a few Classics Grimlock on the top shelf burried underneath many other classics. Also.... Case Fresh has updated their entire site with new items. Though there are no new Star Wars TF's on there (though you can still get the Falcon for only $35!!!) there are many new Transformers. Included are the 2nd wave of Classics Legends (including a Classic Legends JETFIRE!) plus many new pre-order items. Also new Titaniums - Rodimus and Soundwave; plus 8 new pre-orders . Unfortunatly no new Alternators yet (was hopeing for Ravage - but soon) In terms of Melbourne - sorry I've never been there so can't help ya out man. Mr K
ikado, we get the American distribution of Hasbro Transformers, so you're not likely to find anything unusual in the major retailers here. Some specialty collectable/comic stores import takara stuff, but it is often a lot more expensive than getting it yourself from an online store or asian dealer. I think the only thing you might find in Australia that is easier and cheaper than in America is the reissue Astrotrain. A store chain here called Toyworld have them for AU$15-20 (about US$12-15). For a reference guide to what's been released here in Australia, go here: http://www.otca.com.au/checklist.html And the occasional toy sightings by local fans can be found here: http://otca.invisionzone.com/index.php?showforum=9
Which reminds me, plenty of Prime-Megs 2 packs in Queen St Mall Toyworld last night. and classic Grinlocks and Mirages... also a number of the classic legend toy things.
Haven't found Grimlock in Perth, only time I found 6" Titaniums was once last year in TRU Morley and it was WWI Prime and GI Joe Megs.
Hey, I know I posted this before that I found the Classic 2 pack of Prime and Megs for $45 at Toyworld but here's definitle proof Mr Toys February 07 Brochure. Hapy hunting if you want this set. Edit: The item in question is on page 3 of the .pdf document Edit2: Kmart at Chermside Shopping Centre has Primus with Unicron Head for $95 - only one there and that was Friday night just gone
Just found the second set of three Minicon teams yesterday at a BigW in Brisbane. That's the Predator, Clear Skies and Dirt Digger teams.
heh heh, I got one from Kmart only one left, my bro spotted a couple two days before. There's still Rodimus (classics) and Prime and Megs. any Jetfires (classics) and damn I missed out on WWI Prime!
