Not a single action figure of any kind from any toyline.
If this is one to be closed down, it wouldn't be a great loss.
Yea, I was there a few weeks ago and was surprised at the lack of toys.Quote:

They do still have a decent toy section... a fair bit larger than Target Country stores that I've been to, but Buranda had all sorts of other toys (lego, girls toys, cars, toddler toys), just no Action Figure toys at all (like marvel, star wars, batman, transformers)... which smaller Target Country stores have had. It just seemed really strange that this one store was so determined not to have any boys action figure toys at all.Quote:

I drop in to Buranda semi regularly. It is like they are aggressively ignoring some toy lines. The last TF were the Cyberverse Seekers and Quint packs. The last Quintesson went about a month ago. Even Lego is starting to dwindle now. I double checked to see if they are on the chopping block, but Buranda Target is one that is supposed to survive.
Garden City Kmart had a Paleotrex and Cheetor. Target had a Primal. Otherwise nothing new although I didn't go to Myer.
I went to Myer Friday. No restock there yet.
Still no SS Leaders @ Myer Maroochy.
Ipswich K mart is the only store in the area to have the Kingdom Deluxes. (Paleotrex, Cheetor, Black Arachnia and War Path) There was also 1 each of the core Optimus, Rattrap and Vertebreak. There is 1 SS leader scavenger at Ipswich Big W for anyone still chasing it.
Target Springwood (THUR 25 FEB) - A restock of the Kingdom Voyagers since my last visit on the 11th. No sign of Retro Headmasters or shelftag.

Kmart Sunnybank (FRI 26 FEB) - Since my last visit there on FEB 5th, they have already sold out all of the $10 Cyberverse Warriors they had, and half sold the restock (which is a different wave).

Havent had a chance to hunt a lot lately. Stopped by Target North Lakes once to look, not much to report other than a massive space for the Retro Headmasters and a couple of Primals and Blurrs.

Went to Garden City today. Only stopped by Myer and Kmart though. Myer absolutely no change still.....
Meanwhile, Kmart has Micromasters again!? They had Aimless, Blowpipe and Caliburst for $6. There were at least 6 Kingdom Deluxe as well. Didn't check thoroughly but saw at least 1 of each in Wave 1.
Attachment 6448Attachment 6449
Robina Toymate *huge* restock of Kingdom toys (all size classes). There are at least 2 full cases at front of store, and another in the regular toy section (going by the number of Cyclonus and Warpaths, which are short packed).
Robina Kmart Restock of Cyberverse BattleTrooper size class (all figures). They also had Studio Series ?86 toys.
2 Blurr, 1 Kup (I kid you not!)
Kmart Sunnybank Hills has at least 2 each of Kingdom Deluxe except Blackarachnia.
Kmart Pacific Fair
Cyberverse Warrior: Bumblebee, Bumblebee (cybertronian mode), Megatron (Cybertronian mode), Jetfire, Shockwave, Stealth force Hot Rod $10 each
Siege Battle Master: Blowpipe, Aimless, Caliburst $6 each

Target Pacific Fair
Kingdom deluxe: about 2 or more of Paleotrex, Blackarachnia, Warpath and Cheetor
Kingdom Voyager: 1x Optimus Primal
https://imgur.com/lFB8KjK.jpg
It's probably no surprise, but I find it amusing... there are a couple of first sightings in those photos, but aren't even mentioned in the post, because they aren't toys that most here are interested in.
Rescue Bots Academy Rescan w1 of 2021 - Optimus and Bumblebee (both are redecos of older moulds).
Rescue Bots Academy Feature Bots w5 - Bumblebee (new mould) ... I don't think there are any other new moulds in wave 5, just older figures re-released.
Is anyone here a Cairns based?
Big W in Brisbane CBD has the SS86 Deluxes. At least 3 of each in the quick look but could be wrong.
Does anyone know the likelihood of the Wave 1 leaders being restocked?
That bloody Dinosaur sold out so hard and fast everywhere.
Which Wave 1 Leader dinosaur? :DQuote:

Oh, you meant the other dino.
Amazon has him for $110 posted if youre a Prime member.
Actually... SS Grimlock is wave 6.
So it should mean Barney... but both Dinos did sell out fast, and I hope we will be seeing more of each here, as I haven't even seen either of them yet out in the wild.
Grimlock is also 95 from Amazon via UK
I meant Barney
Kingdom Leaders Wave 1
But both count I guess :D
Garden City Target - Wave 1 of Headmasters on shelf, picked all 4 up, no others. Kingdoms 1x warpath and 4x Blackarachnia, took warpath. good success for me today.
He is still being stocked for wave two by the looks. Each leader box appears to have 1x Earthmode Mags and 1x Megatron/Barney. Lots of online shops are still listing him for sale or preorder with or without earthmode Mags.Quote:

Kmart Sunnybank
Multiple of W1 Kingdom Deluxes except Warpath plus some SS86 Deluxes.
Also just noticed today, those Rescue Bots Rescan toys were found at Target.... Target don't usually sell Rescue Bots, and only had some of the Flip Racers way back in 2017 (some of which shelf-warmed a couple years).
That gives us a fourth retailer to find them at (and use for price matching purposes, depending on who has the cheapest price and who has the figures wanted).
I'll have to check out a Target near me and see what they are priced at (I couldn't find them on the website).

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6457
Kmart Northlakes: 3x Netflix Deluxe Wheeljack left, no others.. a few of each of the Kingdom Deluxes, all figures availble, only Kingdom Core Rattrap and Optimus left. 1x lowley SS86 Deluxe Blurr. Lots of Siege Micromaster Aimless, Caliburst and Blowpipes on show.

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6459
Big W Northlakes: Again.. lots of Cyberverse stuff im not up to speed on. Still a fair few Siege Micromasters on clearance. Ooshies Series 3. No Kingdom/Earthrise/SS86.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6460
Mr Toys Rothwell: I have no luck with this store.. I either forget to take my phone in, or there is people in the isle. So.. Kingdom there is a few each of the Core Rattrap and Prime, no Vertebreak* (correction to the right name).. There is also only 1x Voyager Optimus Primal left. Lots of Siege Micromaster weapon/figures left (Aimless, Soundbarrier etc) and Power of the Primes/Titans Returns Micromasters (Apeface, Brawn, Megatronus etc). Take your pick of either a Leader Astrotrain Siege or Earthrise edition, and still los of Earthrise deluxe Arcee/Ironworks/Hoist etc). And... Cyberverse stuff (again!) im not up to speed with. Sorry :(
Nice work with the details and photos.
Garden City - Brisbane - Big W, Myer, Kmart and Target in order.
Nothing new that I'm aware of but if you really want a Cyberverse Soundwave, go to Big W.
Myer's location has changed but it's the same old toys still....
Kmart and Target are the only ones with Kingdom but you'll only find Paleotrex or Blackarachnia at this point.
Cheers mate, where I can I will take photos.. Since I have only got back into collecting recently im out of loops on a lot of the other series than the, what I guess you would call the main line? If it helps others out.Quote:

There was also a variety of wave 1 Kingdom Deluxe and Voyager Primal, and some SS86 Deluxe figures.
Annoyingly, there was a shelf tag up for the Retro Headmasters (which they didn't have there a couple weeks ago), and just an empty space, so probably been and gone. I guess you have to be really lucky to be at a Target store just as they randomly get them, to snap them up before anyone else.

Kmart Sunnybank... just 3 days after nalops photos, and a lot of the Cyberverse and Rescue Bots were gone.
With the Slipstream toys there, this store has had three different cases of the Cyberverse Warriors since the restocking began about 4-6 weeks ago.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021km19.jpg
Today at Garden City this afternoon... nothing worth photographing.
Kmart - Only Core class Kingdom and the Deluxe fossil. They had a new wave of Rescue Bots for Australia, but it is one of the waves that has all re-release figures. Also had the wave of Cyberverse 1-steps that has Ratchet and grey Megatron.
Unfortunately for me, they didn't have the one toy I was after, which is the new Rescue Bots Featured Bot (Bumblebee) that has started showing up at other Kmarts.
Target - no Retro Headmasters or Buzzworthy Bumblebee figures. Had the new Rescue Bots Rescan toys that every Target seems to be getting right now.
Myer - only a few Cyberverse toys and Voyager Earthrise toys. No Kingdom toys.
(didn't bother with BigW)
Oh wow, I could've potentially ran into you without knowing it. Anyway, I went to Big W. They had the new Cyberverse wave but that's it.Quote:
