Erm... I forgot to mention it, but the minicon 2-packs are in Queensland. And when I checked yesterday, Big W just north of the Queen St Mall still had a number of them. I got mine in Morayfield. While they were $7.64 when I first saw them, I think they were incorrectly priced, as the day after they were $9.84 or something. Nice toys, though, and through them I got 2 minicon teams I hadn't gotten when they came out. Still looking for the new basics, though
Had another look through the city this morning, no one's selling new basics or anything... except Mr Toys in the Queen St Mall has the X-wing SW TF (me likey very much!) and a few pegs of the first wave.
Uh, I should have said "and filled up a few pegs with the first releases" because there were four full pegs. Granted, one was mostly X-Wings (which I'm really liking, but his wings don't transform like they do in the instructions because there's a bloody peg in the way stopping them from rotating) but there were Vader's, Grevious', and Obi-Wan's as well.
... woah. Mr Toys Toyworld in the Queen St Mall has a single alt Swindle and Meister left for $22.something. Or maybe Grimlock and Meister. I forget. I finally got me some new alts today ^^ Grimlock and Swindle. Hoping this means Toyworld might get some more of the newer ones in, rather than the fact that that Toyworld now seems to be clearance for the rest of Australia
Thundercracker vs Crosswise, Override and Hotshot, Sideways vs Redalert, Skyshadow (jetfire repaint) and Wingsaber.
Picked up Lugnutz and Scrapmetal and LOC Soundwave last week from Queen St Mall Mr Toys... they got a new shipment in, I got to open the boxes, yay ^^ Also picked up Cybertron Defence Hot Shot and Downshift from Target in Myers last night, yay. Shortround is also in Mr Toys.
Shortround, Scrapmetal, Repugnus, LoC Soundwave, Verctorprime, Redalert and Galvatron at my local Big W.
OK from a mate: LOC wave 3 vs packs wave 3 Wingsaber Storm Shadow Repugnus Scrapmetal Shortround Galvatron All in Brisvegas!
Yeah, I saw the sword minicons a couple of weeks ago (saw them for a second time today). Bought Wing Saber at... KMart in Maroochydore. Still no Crosswise or Thunderblast, though, which apart from Primus and the minicons, are the ones I'm REALLY wanting to get.
Just got Crosswise+Thundercracker and Thunderblast from Mr Toys in the Queen St Mall, they also had Cannonball and Skywarp and a bunch of others. I think they're pretty up to date as well.
I just picked up Soundwave tonight, same place (mr toys in queen st mall), they also had cyb def scattorshot and dark crumplezone.
In addition to the posting in the news section that had Metroplex, Menasor, Nemesis Breaker, Soundwave, Ransack GTS, Giant Planet Team, Wave 4 2-packs fournd at a Toyworld in Brisbane: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=100472 These were found in the last week in Australia, and I have listed the store chains, to give an idea for where these will most likely be found first. I put in the converted US$ amounts for any Americans who don't realise how much Hasbro Australia shafts us fans down here with their over-pricing. Most of their wholesale prices are more than American retail prices. Kmart: Ransack GTS, Giant Planet Minicon Team (Deepdive, Longarm, Overcast) - AU$16 (about US$12). Toyworld: Soundwave with Laserbeak - AU$50 (about US$37). Space Team + Race (Road Assault) Team 6-pack (in America Mar04) - AU$15 (about US$11). Night Attack Team + Road Wrecker Team 6-pack (in America Mar04) - AU$15 (about US$11). Myer: Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus (US CostCo Excl Nov05, US$30-35) - AU$170 (about US$125). David Jones: BEAST WARS 10TH ANNIVERSARY - Dinobot, Rattrap, Tarantulas, Cheetor, Rhinox, Waspinator - AU$35 (about US$26). A list of TFs we get, and the ones we miss out on, can be found here: http://www.otca.com.au/release.html
Hi Can someone tell me the details of the MP-02 Masterpiece Ultra Magnus "...flawed paint application...", as mentioned over at TFsource?: http://tinyurl.com/nu5r9 I'm thinking of getting one from Target in Brisbane for $89, but if it's got a botched paint job I don't know if I still want it. Cheers!
Wait, RiD Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus are being sold here? Melbourne's Myer better have them, or may have blow up the other states that do.
