    Attention Kmart shoppers!

    Kingdom Deluxe-class have been reduced to only $15 each!

    If you've been putting off that Waspinator, Paleotrex or Shadow Panther, this could be the time to pull that trigger.

    Happy hunting!

    Anybody looking for Buzzworthy Bumblebee Deluxe-class Origin Bumblebee?

    He's available right now on Amazon.com.au for $44.61.

    Not a bad price for the tiny little fella, considering he was a US store exclusive.

    Once word gets out I'm sure they'll be flying out the door.

    I can confirm Legacy in SA, although not Motormaster yet

    Went to the Lego store yesterday and they were already sold out of Optimus :(

    Wave 1 Leader-class Legacy sighted on shelves at BigW Morayfield. Looked like a clean dozen until I took the missing Laser Prime from the middle. Price rang up at $89. No other classes present.

    Note that I fully expect these to go on sale in a couple weeks during their annual Big Toy Sale, likely somewhere around $64 as the Leaders were last year. Like last year with Kingdom Galvatron and SS86 Grimlock, however, I expect they'll disappear within minutes as a result of the online pre-sale depleting shelf stock. So if you don't want to run that risk it's probably better to check store stock now instead of waiting.

    Still dirty that the nearest Myer (North Lakes) didn't appear to have gotten in any stock for their sale last weekend.

    What is the likelihood that Legacy Voyagers will sell out by the 16th? I have been holding back on that Bulkhead just because of this sale.

    Bulkhead has been 'shelf warming' compared to Blaster casemate at Kmart. As a backup option, you could try Kmart to price match during BigW sale.

    Sounding like a total noob but can you use click and collect during the online only part of the Big W sale?

    Does price matching work, even during a sale? Sorry, I'm new to this.

    Yes. Kmart will price match 'percent off' items.

    Usually you'll have to take the item you want to buy to the register along with a competitor's current catalogue offering a lower price.
    You'll tell the checkout staff "I would like to have this item price matched to another store's catalogue price, please."

    You will probably have to show the catalogue page to the staff member, so have the catalogue open to the item, or have the catalogue page up on your phone.

    In my experience stores will only match the exact item pictured, even if the lower price is meant to apply to the entire assortment. You might get lucky and speak to somebody who understands that a Legacy Arcee comes from the same assortment as Legacy Dragstrip, but don't take that for granted.

    Also, Australian stores will only price match other Australian stores, they won't price match online retailers like Amazon or any overseas retailers like Target's USA variant.

    In the best of circumstances the store you'll want to buy from is already aware of a competitor's lower price and has adjusted their price at the register to match their competitor.

    In which case the entire assortment should be automatically price reduced, so you'll be able to pick any character you like.

    I think that's everything you'll need to know.
    Hope it's helpful!
