I think it's just the got to do with the weakened US dollar (the Chinese yuan is pegged to the US dollar, despite what everyone else says); coupled with the global financial crisis, when everyone has to drop their profit margins (ie. ripping us off less than before) to increase consumption.

The consumer spending mentality has changed.
People now think harder about how they piss their hard earnt money.

It's going to creep up again, once we see ourselves more prosperous.

Spotted a couple of recons 'ere in Finland.

I should go there and pick one up.

Does sarcasm work online?

Lanard Shotguns (Singled Triple shots) spotted in TAS Toyworld.

I live in Sydney, any idea where I can get an Alpha trooper??

I just got a 4B from Toyworld Docklands (Mel), $20. It was the 2nd gen - smaller tank but larger pump.
Not sure if they've been out a while, but this was the first time I've seen it, and the last on the shelf.

Ahhhh no BBBB's at my toyworld in Watergardens. If one of you guys pick a few up I'll buy it off you for more than the retail price. I did pick up a Big Savo for $30.

That's all well and good until you remember that retailers rarely alter the prices of our products no matter how strong our dollar is -.-
If it weakens though you can be damn sure a price increase will come along.

Picked up 3 Recons on the 27th at BigW, Macquarie Centre in Sydney. The label had $28 (down from about $40) but they checked in at $23 each.

Just thought I'd pass the info along in case anyone was looking to add to their arsenal... Compared to the $50 they are charging at Toys R Us, it's pretty darned good.

Firstly, they are selling everywhere for around $29 now
Secondly, TRU are selling them for $34

The new line of Nerf Super Soakers hit stores in grafton, about a week before christmas.

currently available in toowoomba:

spectre: $24 @ target (very limited stock)
camo ammo bags (includes 50 camo darts, fits 8 6 round clips) $35 to $40 @ target
barricades: $34ish @ target

Magstrikes @ kmart under $30
mavericks @ kmart under $15

longshots available at toyworld $70 mark

blasters i found in brisbane over the sales:

titan unity system @toys r us at pacific fair $70
element mission packs @toys r us also at pac fair

s**t ton of nite finders at target at pac fair and nothing else

didn't manage to get anywhere else for the sales but last check at toys r us at mt gravatt was pretty good, same for alternate blasters that aren't nerf at toys r us in pac fair. also indropilly toyworld has stampedes for the upper 70 to 80 mark vulcans for the usual 70 ish or more, deploys for 50 (found mine at toyworld here in toowoomba for $40 though.

Hi, can any Adelaide nerfer's tell me if there are any Longshots in any stores? Or a Unity Power System.
Because I have about $100 worth of gift cards.

Thanks.

BPV, I'm currently not in Adelaide at the moment, but I'm pretty sure the only place that stocks Unity Power Systems are Toys R Us. I have no idea who stocks Longshots, although I heard there was a Big W sale recently that had them for about 35 bucks.

Hope you find your blasters,

Any Sydney Nerfers spot any clear Mavericks?
I need some.

I am also after clear Mavericks ><.

I found about 20 double darts normal Mavericks over at Kmart Mt Druitt.

What is a better deal and which one is better? A $90.00 N-Strike Stampede, $70.00 N-Strike Longshot CS-6 or an $80.00 Raider?

I'm currently selling 2 Raiders for $65 posted, each. Kmart sells LS for $59, and Stampedes for $78.

This isn't the correct forum section, nor is it up to us to decide whether it is better for YOU.

YOU must decide for YOURSELF.

Stampedes are $54 at kmart starting from monday 10th jan til 30th. It doesn't state that there are no rainchecks, so that is good for when they run out. Even cheaper than when fishpond had them for $65.

What?! $54 Stampedes?!
Do you have a link?

Got a scan or link to that add for $54 stampedes?

It's on page 22 of Kmart's online catalogue.

:O That's so cheap! This is madness..
On topic; I found barricades at my local toy world (Redlands shire/city) for $34.

^ There was a whole wall of Barricades @ Toys R Us Garden City for $30 the other day.

not really guns but target was selling nerf camoflage bags with camo darts for $29.00. Don't why you'll just loose the darts more easily

Any brissie peeps seen alpha-troopers anywhere? I can't find squat.

saw a couple at target on friday here in toowoomba, so if your bloody lucky there maybe some at pac fair or indro.

Sweeeet!! You didn't happen to catch the price for them did you?

Well, looking for an Alpha Trooper in Sydney as well. Checked last week and the city, Chatswood and Macquarie were all out, they didn't know when they'd be back in stock either.

Good luck with that. Those things are freaking ghosts up here

$29, went back to target today for a scouting run to see if they had anything i didn't have (my vain hope of finding a barrel break lol) and they were out of AT's, only thing they had left were misc buzz bee, stampede ($99 when kmart started their $54 sale, yeah right) and a handful of relex's and camo ammo bags.

Uhhh, Barrel Breaks are only available at TRU, arent't they?

yeah i know, but i can live in vain hope, the nearest toys r us to me is about 200k's away lol

I got mine from target in the city... Alphatroopers don't single fire unless you hold the side forward.

Also does anyone know where I can pick up a longstrike?

Just picked up a $54 Stampede, $14 maverick and $59 Longshot @ K-mart Casula. They have HEAPS of Stampede's (at least 20) .

But in the duration of this 8hrs they may all be gone.
