Movie Toys Sighted In Australia!

Sweet. Now excuse me I have some shopping to do.

That's awesome. Do you think you could give us a complete break down of what was there?
I must check the local K on monday...

Thanks for the Tip. Its been Newsified.

Happy Hunting to all you. Im jealous...ive only seen the Protoforms.

I didn't pay much attention to the things I'm not interested in, ie: Cyber Stompers, legends, plushies, FABs etc. But they had the whole first wave of Deluxes (Protoforms, Barricade, Brawl, Bumblebee, Wreckage, Scorponok, Jazz), but only Blackout and Ratchet for voyagers, and only Leader Prime. They also had the binoculars, phone, game and camera Real Gears. No Booster x10 :(

edit: btw, and as we all know, there's a 20% off action figures sale at Kmart, but the normal prices are: $16.99 for Real Gears, $26.99 for Deluxes, $45.99 for voyagers and $95.99 for Leaders. Oh, and the Cyber Stompers were like $20.99 for some bizarre reason :?

edit part 2!: Doh, I forgot they also had the voice changer helmet >.<

Cool. thanks. They're the only ones I'm interested in also.
Damn those Leaders are always so damn expensive here.
definitely on the hunt for those real gears, wreckage and blackout.

Um... on monday, I may not be here XD

all I found were the legends

Thanks Sheogorath for the heads up!

Just went to K-Mart Firle in Adelaide. They had heaps of stuff there but obviously had more earlier today. I managed to pick up Barricade for $19.99. He was the only different deluxe fig apart from the 2 Protoforms.

But they did have Classic Legends (movie figures) for $5.99. Leader Class Optimus Prime was $75.96. The FABs were just over $21 (this is all with their 20% off sale). I also noticed that they had the 2 G1 PLUSHies (Prime and Bumblebee)... they looked pretty cool too!

^ fellow adelaidian eh? good I guess my local K-mart will get them soon then, hopefully before the sale ends

I actually went in three times today, coz I kept thinking "Hmm, damn, I should have gotten that one too!" and over that time, they did seem to be selling like hotcakes. For example, there were heaps of Brawls the first time, but the second time I got the last one.

Coincidentally, I went to a different K-mart earlier this afternoon and they had nothing except Protoforms! I wanted to buy a movie fig that transforms in to a vehicle, not a comet!

So I'm glad I got the chance before they closed!

thats great news for Australian transfans, but where's the movie love for us Brits?

This is excellent news indeed. I wonder how long until they start showing up in Perth suburbs.

Oh go whine in your Brit thread.

Lucky, NJ is still just left with Protoforms.

jees, looks like its not just Brits who get charged almost double for toys when compared to the USA.

My K-Mart here in GA has most of this stuff out too. The computers will only let them sell about half of it. I guess it doesn't matter what state, country, etc., K-Marts are incompetent all over the world!

I went back and got Leader Prime today

Well that means they are not to far away from NZ, good to see the Auzzies getting figures before us for once

$75 after the 20% discount, normally $95.

Maroochydore (QLD) K-Mart is setting up their endcap and display over the next 2 days. I've already lined up to have one of everything put aside until I can get in.

You heard me. One of everything.

Everything. I've waited a very long time for this movie. I'm making sure I never forget it.

Checked Penrith, Mt Druitt and Stanhope Gardens Kmart's. Nothing.
It seems South West Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide are the places to be to get them.

Some Targets in North Melbourne have also started stocking the movie figures.

Im surprised, the Kmart prices for the movie figures are all in line (or cheaper) with the prices for the Cybertron/Classics lines. Why then are the protoforms more expensive? $95 for a leader figure is a bit expensive isnt it?

I’ve been to a few different K-marts around Adelaide and it seems that only 1 or 2 are actually stocking movie figures, real gear, Cyber slammers, Plushies, and FABs at the moment. I thought it was pretty weird that they would have noting out at all in the past couple of weeks, and then stock their shelves during their 20% off sale.

Personally, I’m picking up as much as I can while they’re a bit cheaper. I agree $95 for Leader Prime is ridiculous (even $75, which is what I paid, is steep). Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great figure! I think this just means I may have to be selective with what movie figs I get.

Maybe if the Howard Government gave us all a “Transformers Collector’s Bonus” before this year’s election they'd get more votes!!!

yep my local k-marts in Adelaide (Tea Tree Plaza, Inglefarm) must be sitting on their figs till the sale ends

I went back to Kmart today, and all the deluxes had been sold, except the Protoforms. Still plenty of everything else though, I nabbed a Ratchet. I'm done til the next wave

You know I hate you right?

To be honest I was very surprised that any Kmarts stocked the new Movie merchandise during the 20% off sale, the reason they have the sales is usually to clear the shelves to put out the new goods...

Wonder how long before Ebay.au is inundated with "rare" Movie merch?

Not very long

I'm starting to wonder if a few K-marts have made a mistake and released the figs too early!

Well no sign of the new movie toys here, yet!!!

Just the protoforms, got myself Screamer today, was on sale, from NZ$29.99-$23.99 so I now have all the movie toys!Well the ones bloodywell released here anyways!!!

Hey Robzimus, which Kmarts did you find movie stuff at? What did they have left? Had no luck myself and the sale's about to end!

The main one was Kmart Firle. Late this afternoon they had Blackouts, Ratchets, Barricades, Brawls, and of course Protoforms, from the main movie line. They also HAD a couple of Leader Primes, but I think they’re all gone now!

Apart from all the other stuff like Real Gear and FABs, I noticed something new today… a ‘Transformer Toothbrush’ that really “transforms”. It seems like they’re going merch crazy!

Thanks very much!

So far only the Protoforms... that is surprising.

If we get even half the stuff that is getting a US release, expect Transformers Merchandise to be in every department of every store, from foodstuffs to linen, furnishings to Bike safety gear.
