Aussie TF collectors are absolute legends. Shoutouts to the dude who just met up with me so I could take an arm off his X-Brawn to repair my Ratchet.
my god, i went to Kmarts in footscray, highpoint and moonee ponds yesterday... ...then brunswick, richmond, camberwell and melb CBD today... ...looks like it'll be greensborough tomorrow.
yep, plenty of every other figure (only a few had clampdowns). does stock get restocked on shelves regularly?
*shrugs shoulder* Don't frequent regularly to know. Perhaps ask a store staff? Haven't seen a Clampdown.
All hasbro deliveries are on tuesdays(at least to my closest three Kmarts) almost all toy stock is immediately put on shelves. They are getting full velocitron restock crates, which includes cosmos Try asks my for the next delivery, and go in at opening time and ask them to call you if it hasn’t already come in
Falcon's Hangar has the A Hero is Born boxset for preorder https://www.tfh.com.sg/product-details.php?p=31880
Welp, I went to Greensborough, Resevoir and Northland Kmarts today and there was nothing, so I now believe we have already had every Cosmos the city of Melbourne will reveal to us ever.
Even when the line was first released, Northland had zero Cosmoses - only Clampdown for the shortpacked figures. Same with Resa; it's a bit of a shame honestly.
I'm picturing this in my head. That. Is. Brutal. Thanks for the update. I wonder if there will be another restock on shelves before wave 2 hits?
hey, anyone know if usa/uk/aus get all their haslab orders shipped at same time, like will they wait till all the boxes are at their respective sellers before shipping? Or just ship all at once and people get them at random times, i asume the later, because it seems silly to do all the extra work for method one. Im aware their in us ports, And I'm pretty hyped!! (still got a spare, if anyone wants)
Well, Unicron started showing up in Hong Kong in February. The UK got it soon after, then it started arriving in the US in March and April. Mine showed up at EB in early April a little later than some, but I was hearings stories of arrivals (everywhere, not just here) until well into May. Basically after the stock leaves Hasbro's distribution centres it kinda gets smeared across geography , and everything depends on how it is being delivered to you. If I had to guess, I would say the likely course is Vietnam -> US (where they are now) -> Hasbro Aus -> EB -> individual stores around the country. Would not care to guess just how long any of this will take, especially with current supply chain disruptions, but I would guess that the US -> Aus stage will be by slow boat.
How about avoid double handling & ship Oz allocation from Vietnam to Hasbro Oz direct? Saves cost & time.
Doesn't represent as good of a tax dodge, though. Hasbro Australia has to "buy" their stock from the US parent company, which opens up all sorts of loopholes with regards to claiming it as operating expenses. At the same time it allows the US division to inflate its sales numbers, making it appear to be doing better than it actually is and potentially (artificially) inflating stock values. If it were more profitable to ship them direct and still charge the extra they already do, they'd be doing it.
The purchasing is merely business electronic funds transfer, not necessarily the physical movement of stock. The company I work for purchases goods from our international parent company in Europe. The stock get delivered direct from manufacturer in Asia.
Has anyone seen any Cosmos in Australia at all? I went to one store in SA that said they had 8 in stock and spoke to someone out the back who said there was no Cosmos. A friend just sent me a photo from another store that had been showing "In Stock" online for a few days but nothing on the shelf. There's now 8 on the shelf: 4 x Road Rocket, 2 x Diaclone and 2 x Blurr. I'm wondering if maybe we're getting extra Road Rockets instead of Cosmos and Clampdown?
I've not seen one on a shelf, no, but I have seen plenty of people reporting such. The trouble is that they are only 1/8th of a case of Velocitron toys.
