Got my ticket for 6:30 showing tomorrow!

Have any Australian's seen Voyager Starscream, Ironhide or Leader Megatron? Its all thats missing from my collection.

I am the proud owner of both Voyager Starscream and Ironhide. (Found at Target and Big W in Coffs Harbour)

Keep an eye out at Big W, as they are having a massive toy sale in the next few weeks and prices of Leader Prime and Megatron will be $80 instead of $90.

Go here and apply , I'm not sure I never had to join my own clan.

The only problem with that is there isn't a button or anything that says 'join' or similar.

According to the site's forums (however horrible they may be) several people have stated that clans can only have ten members, and that temporarily no one can join a clan.

For those of you wondering about Movie Swindle, I saw 17 in one store today. I think that's where they all went...

On Thursday night I'm going to dash over to Wal-Mart and grab as many as I can find. They had 10 of each last week so unless they're clearanced they should still be there. Let me make sure I can get them before I take any money for them.

What're the chances of you being able to ship overseas Rhyno?

6. UberKosh - Ravage & Rumble (you are in the UK right? i'll need to figure out shipping)

Even worse - Australia. Actually, we're better than the Brits. But yes, Australia, actually.

And it's both, unless the Ravage isn't the Jaguar.

My local comic-book store has both Revoltech Optimus and Megatron for AUD$40. Think I'll be picking up Prime tomorrow...

Also Rhyno I just sent you an email regarding shipping.

A question for Goons with Revoltech Convoy - how do you take his loving hands out? Do you just keep pulling at them or is there a certain position they have to be in?

Also, how much is the Commemorative Soundwave going for in stores?

Just got a newsletter from BBTS:

So I wonder if stores will be getting their Wave 2 supplies this week.

I saw all bar one of the Wave 2 Deluxes yesterday. Arcee is one, there's another jet (who I cannot remember the name of), '08 Bumblebee and one other.

Real Edit: What are the chances of me getting my hands on that Classics Starscream, uh, ever?

Well, if you wanted to pay shipping from Australia (hurrrrrrr...), I could probably find one.

Edit: Anyone else's friends not treat your TFs properly? I say this because the past few times I've had parties they've been dragged out and people play with them. There is one person who treats them properly; everyone else just loving yanks on them and poo poo, pulling off arms and doors and then leaving them be.

I just found my Alt. Jazz wedged under my couch. I'm even less impressed with my friends now.

And how good is Leader Prime? A store has him on sale for AUD$60, and I can get 5% off that (thanks to my friend and his staff discount). Just wanted to know if I should grab him while he's this cheap (normally AUD$90).

Australian huh.

Can you recommend any stores (online or otherwise) I should be looking in for decent prices? As I'm sure you're aware shipping to/from Aus is cost prohibitive and the short look I had in Big W suggested the selection can be a bit lack luster. I would have spent longer looking but the little kids were freakin' me out. Why are they allowed in toy sections anyway?

Obligatory 'Sup fellow Ausgoon!

What about internal Aus shipping. It'd be what, $5 for a box to put Starscream into? As for stores well, nowhere really. It depends on your store sometimes, 'cause up where my grandparents live had stacks of stuff, but there's nothing down here. I have a comic shop that manages to get some stuff in, but they have to mark-up a bit to cover their expenses. So if you want some Alts, they may have them at $55 each.

And what're the chances of decent TF stock being on the shelves around, say, October? Like Alts and Classics?

Sorry to keep pestering you Rhyno, but what's the story with Alt. Ravage and Rumble? If it's too fiddly getting it to Oz, I can give you my friend's address in America.

And does anyone else with Deluxe Brawl find that his back doesn't fit? Because mine won't stay up. The turret area pops out if forced too far back, but in the instructions it looks like it can go further than mine, and his arms don't want to stay in their little plug holes.

Yep, the version that is a Jaguar cat and turns into a cat. Was one of the last Alts available... I have 3.

Depending upon how things go with Rhyno (Still haven't heard back from you man), I may be interested in Ravage.

Also, I got Nemesis Prime for AUD$40. Uh huh. If any AusGoons see this and want him, let me know (I'm fairly sure there's still one left where I got him).

If people are still looking for Alternators, there are a bunch of them in a store near me. If you name a few specific ones that you can't find, I can take a look for you, and maybe work out some shipping if so desired.

I'd be interested in any of Mirage, Smokescreen, Ricochet, Swindle and Rollbar.

And he cost me less than MP01 on BBTS, and cheaper than the only MP01 I had seen here - 18000 Yen.

Do you live in Japan, or just on some sort of extremely long vaction?

I'm currently on a three-month long holiday round the world, with Japan being the first stop. Took me loving ages to find too - going through all the anime (read: Hentai) stores trying to find this one drat box (actually I was after MP-01, but everywhere was sold out).

Advertised price is $99.99, why did this have to come so close to christmas when I'm so broke.

Do you know what the code is for it? My one and only TRU is poo poo and the only way of getting this would be to get them to go out the back and check for it.

Any Ausgoons who want themselves MP-04 Convoy get down to Target either now or during their toy sale on the 24th. He's there (in their catalogue, and in one store I've been in to where they had about 20) and going for $200.

Alternitivley, if I don't get it, will I ever be able to show my face in the Transformers thread ever again.

Is there any confirmation on that price? The online catalog is unpriced.

I saw it in the catalogue so knew to look for it. That price is what the store clerk told me when she scanned it with one of their price-checker machines. I'd say fairly confirmed.
