Kmart showing off the Spoiler pack contents

The Cyberverse toys are No Rainchecks but the Netflix toys aren’t. A somewhat promising sign?

Well I don't think parents want to gamble on a $89 mystery toy.

The spoiler was never the toy..... the spoiler was the secret messages on the box

Oh.
I never understood why they would "conceal" that the toy was Ultra Magnus...
It seems that UM is pretty terrible at disguising himself in the Netflix series all around.
Also, what were the secret messages?

Found this. Goes into detail about the Spoiler pack

[Defcon]

Will be pretty happy if they have more stock! Yay

[Paulbot]

I was mostly being silly about the Spoiler pack. I was more excited that I could put a raincheck in if the stock hasn't arrived in the Vic Stores. I feel we're going to be a couple of restocks behind the other states.

Are we expecting Netflix Voyagers other than Hotlink and Megatron with this latest Kmart shipment?

Doesn't seem like it. Haven't seen anyone find Optimus or Soundwave yet. Possibly in the next restock?

Cool. Won't have to look for them, if that's the case.

Hmm. I'm torn. I want wave 2 of Netflix for Bumblebee and Elita-1, but I'd also like another shot at that shiny Megs...

The cyberverse stuff was on the shelves of my local Kmart today, along with Earthrise wave 2. No other Transformers stuff had been re-stocked; still looks kinda like they're waiting for something to arrive.

[griffin]

Is QLD still the only state to have these show up in stores?
That's really strange.
I could understand Victorian stores not getting them yet because of the lockdown, but other states & territories should have been getting them at the same time as QLD, just like with other new toys.

Nothing here in Sydney's Southwest, checked a few stores and their website still showing unavailable under the find in store tab for the Deluxe, Voyagers and spoiler pack..

Here's hoping they hit the shelves here tomorrow as planned

Looks like you're in luck, since the stock they've got appears to be just that...Wave 2 Deluxe, Wave 1 Voyager.

Bit sad we're not getting Soundwave yet, but I can confirm that the Netflix Megatron is excellent and worth the purchase.

But is lockdown really a obstacle to re-stocking here? I mean, the first wave of Netflix appeared in June, during lockdown.

Back then the shops were all still open as usual during the first wave. It was the second wave that closed stores like Kmart completely. Things that might have gone on shelves in July, August, September wouldn't have so there'll be some backlog of stock.

[Flukey]

I cant believe that the Sydney/NSW stores haven't had these stocked like QLD as we haven't been under any restrictions..

Wonder if the delays caused at Sydney Wharfs have been the contributing factor for NSW not receiving their shipments!

Yep been checking and the shelves are empty at my local kmart, only some cyberverse stuff.

[Skyfire]

Lucky Queenslanders are getting their Netflix fix. Seems strange that NSW hasn't put stock up. As for WA, I have feeling we will be a week behind.

Catalogue removed from the website!

Interesting...

[Deano85]

I got my Bumblebee from Robotkingdom, but if I can find Megatron I'll get him

[Paulbot]

Catalogue removed from the website!

I'm curious, can people in Queensland still see it on the website?

[griffin]

That's weird.
There must have been something serious to do that, and not make a statement about it.
Something more than just our missing Transformers toys.
Maybe a significant amount of new items for this catalogue were missing in other states... if true, it would be strange for them to let the catalogue get out at all. Because if they know now that there is a major supply problem, they would have known two days ago, to suspend it's release before it happened (both digitally and physically, as I grabbed a copy from a Kmart store near me, from the front of the store... so it will be interesting to see if they have them removed when I go back tomorrow).

👆This so much! :D

In the finals for worst disguise...
BRONZE = Netflix Ultra Magnus
SILVER = Clark Kent
GOLD = Prince Adam

It's gone.

Kmart catalogue arrived in post

I like the way some out of box toys are interacting with the packaging - either looking in at toys still in box or stepping out of the box. Shows more imagination than a lot of catalogues.

Yep, good effort these days. In my 80s scrapbook thread there are catalogue images of TFs without their stickers applied or not quite transformed properly. No enthusiasm from the photographer :(. I've always wondered whose job it is to do the toy photography and who gets to keep the toys afterwards.

Sightings in Victoria, South Australia and WA for the Netflix toys... so I think it is just NSW still waiting on them (if they are in Tasmania too).

Just a shame that the Voyagers are just wave 1 again, as I was expecting wave 2... which will now be more difficult to track down online.

I hope wave 2 voyagers do come to Australia, because we missed out on too many exclusives down here, and trying to find them online is nearing impossible.

I guess good things come to those who wait, for us here in Sydney....

For me who has really only gotten into this hobby (obsession :p) I dont mind wave 1 as I can pick up Hotlink...

[Bumblebee2000]

SA Sightings? Could I get more details on this as Ive been checking religiously for Hotlink/anything and its not the sightings thread

Might be TTP as they are showing as in stock, but I really have no idea as I don't usually go that way often.

[Bumblebee2000]

The cbd have had them in since I last checked a few days ago. No voyagers so I might ring TTP and IF to try and get one on hold and go tomorrow.

Wheel jack did win me over in person, I need to decide whether I also need ER but a scorched mad scientist works.

Thanks!

[Tranceblade]

I get the feeling Munno Para might be one of the "small" stores, they don't even have a tag 😰
Thanks for confirming Rundle for me, I'll have to head there soon
