Wave 5 of SS has started showing up at the Maddington and Westfield Cannington store.Quote:

Couldn't find any Transformer shelves at Target and KMART only had a few small Cyberverse toys and Power Charge Bees - other than that the shelves were pretty cleared out. Will try my luck at Maddington or Karrinyup tomorrow/the following day unless someone can confirm.Quote:

Welcome to Ozformers Georgii. :) We all float down here. You will too... You will too (echo)...

So only 4 figures, it was over a week ago now so dunno what the hold up is restocking them. I'm pretty surprised to see this wave around the same time they've been turning up in the US honestly.Quote:

Karrinyup still has plenty of Cyberverse and Bumblebee movie toys, I saw BigW workers re-stocking items across the store but none of them were Hasbro boxes for Transformers. Maddington has the usual Megatron and Brawl shelf warmers with one of them half-opened. Other than that there weren't any new toys.
Man if K-Mart stops stocking TF... WHAT'RE WE GONNA DO!?!?! :)Quote:

Around 3 crowbars, a WW2 bee, 1 cluncker bee and 2 barricades from SS wave 5 at Target in Armadale $35 each. Toymate Cannington have a SS KSI sentry and Dropkick, just make sure you can get their deluxes price matched so you don't pay $40 for them if you go there for them
whole bunch of rodimus unicronus at garden city myer.
Last time I went there was just after they put out all those boxes of predakings few weeks back or whatever.
Where do they hide this shit?
"here's something we've had out back for six months........."
I dont know how they expect to sell anything when they dont put new things out, and when they do its like 6-12 months later at full price?
Yeah, wherever I go there's usually no Transformers at all or very little. I'm trying to get my hands on the new Wave 5 SS and there's only been far and few - also quite literally far from where I live. I feel like there's more but they just didn't put them out whenever I went.Quote:

Here let me justify this post with a sighting
I went to K Mart in Belmont Forum on the weekend that they'd managed to pull 2x SS ROTF Megatrons out from somewhere but aside from that didn't have anything that wasn't Cyberverse stuff or the wave 1 POTP Prime Masters.
Went to Toymate yesterday. No KSI Sentry, but a Dropkick was still there. As well as a ton of Sky Shadows, Rodimus Unicronuses and titan masters.
Why does Toymate put all of its toys on the racks backwards? Struck me as odd.
Not a sighting, just a 'no sighting' for anything of note in Midland K-mart, Big W or Target. There is just a couple of Bumble Bee and Cyberverse items on the shelf, pretty sad really.
Went past Kmart Rocko last night and they have multiples of the latest movie wave including Barricade, Greenbee and the 3 others.
Full wave of Studio deluxe at Kmart Belmont. Sideswipe, Snotbee etc
Myer CBD had a PoTP Moonracer, Blackwing, two Jazzes and a smattering of Terrorcons.
Plus the usual Predakings. On Wednesday Fortress Maximuses were still clogging the clearance shelves.
Toyworld Kalamunda.
Siege Megs & Cog.
TLK figs - Dlx ($31-$35) Strafe, Drift, Squeeks, Steelbane, and the red car. Voyager Megs & Hound (on sale for $40). Leader Megs.
Studio Series Blackout ($99), Beserker.
EDIT: forgot about these: Prime Masters Metalhawk, Skullgrin, & Cloudburst.
Was hoping for a SkyTread...
Quite a few of each of the wave 5 deluxe SS figs at K-Mart Maddingto.
So they did have more in stock, guess I was unlucky whenever I went to these places lol. Anyway, I went to Belmont and pretty much took everything that was on the shelf, there is only WWII Bee and Clunker Bee left on the shelf but considering Maddington had none when I came and now that it has a few on its shelf, I'm assuming this may be the case for any other store. Lucky me though, I got all the Wave 5 Deluxes in one sweep! Thanks to whoever reported these were in Belmont.Quote:

Myer has a Moonracer and Blackwing.
Kmart has some new TFs in but only the Cyberverse/Bumblebee junk.
Edit: There’s a new shop next to Gamesworld at Carousel that sells a lot of POP!s and a lot of other random stuff. Saw a G1 Transformers metal lunchbox.:)
Botbot multipacks at toymate Cannington
I think the deluxes went reasonably quickly from TW Kalamunda. There were none at TW Midland as of last Friday. All they had was a Shockwave and a couple of the legends figures.Quote:

Spotted series 1 botbots at Kmart Warwick this morning.
Not much at KMart Baldivis. Nothing new, just the usual.
Couple of the SS Wave 5 deluxe Crankcase and WW2 BBee.
And still some of the Wave 2 Voyager ROTF Megs and Brawl. #shelfwarmers
I going to grab a SS Megs when they eventually put it on clearance... :D

It took me about 3 visits to find these. They are not in the Transformers aisle if anyone’s looking. Not my cup of tea. No Siege stuff yet.Quote:

Apparently out now.Quote:
