Seems quite random. Only a couple of stores have put them on the shelves

Hasbro Australia probably got both waves sent at the same time from China and are just sending out which ever cartons their warehouse pickers grab first from the racking or pallet storage area.
As for wave numbers, bookmark the 2016 toy checklist.
I'm just confused how we did get some wave 1 leaders, but only in very limited quantities (and with it being seen in odd areas, i.e. Lake Haven)
As Griffin said, their warehouse pickers probably just grabbed whatever boxes and sent them on. Quite easy to believe that would happen
From past experience the smaller/independent stores tend to get stock and put them out at their own lesuire compared to the major retailers. You can see how Kmart has stocked the new Voyagers and they are at nearly every Kmart it seems (seriously every post on the Vic sighting seems to be the same two at yet another store :) !). Once the big chains get deluxes/leaders etc expect the same.
Hasbro really needs to get their distribution in order. It's been crap for 2years now
Not really Hasbro's fault, retailers aren't picking them up
