Myer had no Kingdom toys, and they couldn't see any out the back even though their system said there should be a couple of Voyagers left... which must have "walked out".
BigW is ridiculous... nothing but Cyberverse, and nothing on the pegs at all.

Meanwhile, at JB Hifi, they had the new poster by Impact Posters (number 57), and quite a few jigsaw puzzles still left.

Just went through Carindale
Kmart and Target have nothing of note.
Myer (20% off toys)
1x SS86 Grimlock
1x Kingdom Dinobot
Big W (20% off toys)
5x Kingdom Dinobot
Hey Yo! Anyone chasing Dinobot or Inferno, Northlakes Big W has them! 20% off special ends today (05/04/21)
Location of transformers figure spotting: Westfield Chermside.
Was at big w. Didnt get a chance to take a photo, was in a hurry. Important thing is that there was at least 3x blurr, 3x Kup and most importantly, 2x jazz figures (there was 3, took 1 home. For those wondering, it cost $23.20, less than all other stores at chermside). I can recall there being NO ss voyagers and/or leaders, nor any kingdom figures, as there were mostly cyberverse figures.
Now at kmart (now apparently cannot upload photos).
There was 1x kup, with 1x blurr behind it. Nothing else in studio series, neither voyager or leader, as well as kingdom figures. There was at least 2x cyberverse deluxe “seeker strike” starscream, along with battlecall bumblebee and starscream. There was also suprisingly (since i havent seen it until now) a bunch of siege “aimless” and “caliburst”. There was also a bunch of rescue bots academy figures, along with other figures. There was one lonely core class optimus prime hanging there as well.
On Wednesday, stopping by Mr Toys at Springwood and Macgregor...
I don't recall seeing anything too interesting at either store. It looked like the only Kingdom toys at both stores were wave 1 Core figures.
The Macgregor store has moved their "World's Smallest" toys to the front wall just inside the door. And after seeing all the birthday cards on their website, I saw them at the Macgregor store near the front counter.

Location of transformers sightings: cbd
(All sightings recorded on sunday)
At the myer store in the cbd, there was a ton of ss86 delixe figures, including multitudes of jazz, kup and blurr figures.
There was also at least 5x earthrise grapple, 1x ER and 1x kingdom arcee (the only kingdom figure present), 2x ER airwave and a bunch of ss62 soundwave (satellite mode). There was also a bunch of cyberverse figures, dont know if anyone cares about them, but if anyone wants to know, there was 2x cyberverse grimlock ‘seismic stomp’, a bunch of battle armour bumblebees and shockwaves, and a bunch of small energon armour wild wheels and bumblebees. Reminder that there is a 20% sale at myer if anyone is interested, which does apply to ss deluxes.
At target, there was practically nothing of interest. There were 2x ss86 blurrs, 2x cyberverse deluxe class shockwave, 1x buzzworthy bumblebee (ss40) car mode shatter, and a bunch of rescue bots academy bumblebee and optimus.
Did a small run.. Too busy being school holidays, covid etc... Will do another run later this week, may try a few other stores.
Kmart Northlakes - Kingdom has quite a few Rattrap's and 1 lonely Vertebreak, 2x Black Arachnia. 1x SS86 Cup and 2x SS86 Blurr. Not sure on the other figures... but first time I found that BB Starscream with weapons pack, and Soundwave with Laserbeak at Kmart.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6478
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6479
Target Northlakes - Kingdom Wave 2 Core class has only 1x Megatron, 4x Starscream and 1x lonely wave 1 Vertebreak. Lots of SS86 deluxes of all 3.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6480
Zing Northlakes - Kingdom has 1x Ractonite left, 3x Paleotrex and I didn't count how many core Megatron and Starscream were left, but both were there. Along with 1x leader Kingdom Optimus Prime, and a few big POP! Optimus Primes for $80.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...achmentid=6481
Myer Garden City must of had Kingdom deluxe wave 2 as there was a single Arcee. This was on Wed and Thurs. I checked out Mr Toys at Magregor, I must of just missed wave 2 deluxes, as everthing was there except Huffer.
I have an odd non-sighting.
Carindale Big W has moved its Transformers to one of their more prominent half height island shelves. The problem is its basically empty except for old Slipstreams and Cyberverse. The mystery is they kept all their old price tags like WFC K and SS Leader. Big W doesn't even list Leadera online any more.
I have checked it for three days with no sign of stocking. So just housekeeping or is a restock coming???
Listing can still be found through Google and even says Beenleigh has low stock. I imagine they'll do a restock at some point.
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/tran...B&gclsrc=aw.ds
Just did another round of North Lakes. No pics as the only change is slightly less stock than the photos from 3 days ago. Kmart had a lot of stock trolleys out restocking all the toy isles, but nothing for Transformers.
Kingdom Dinobot at Big W Strathpine, there was one left after I took mine
On Friday at Sunnybank Woolies, I checked out the toy section not expecting to find anything, and they had the small Authentics Barricade... just the one, but they had Ratchet as well, so is probably re-released in the new wave.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021ww01.jpg
And at Toyworld Macgregor that afternoon as well, and as noted by Defcon a few posts above, they had the Kingdom Deluxes in there since my last visit 9 days earlier, but now there was only 3 or 4 Arcees and a single Airazor. Nothing else to note, but I did find the wrapping paper I mentioned in my last posting, which looks nice.

Toyworld in Chermside had 2 kingdom Arcee and one kingdom Huffer this arvo. I took the Huffer though
Just spotted 2 (now 1) bumblebee movie star screams at browns plain Kmart $45. It didn?t scan at the checkout so the cashier helped out.Hopefully I?ll get around to posting the pic later.
Toyword at Chermside has 2x kingdom Arcee, 1 Huffer, 1 Ractonite(?), 1 kingdom Ultra Magnus and 3x SS86 Grimlock
Oh you are kidding. I was there Thursday morning and there were no Leaders.
I was in there just after midday on Friday, the lady at the counter said she?d only just put them up that morning
I just picked up SS72 Starscream from Kmart Arana Hills. There was another left on the shelf.
Robina Kmart Lots of Cyberverse Deluxes, and a few $10 Warrrior classes. Few studio series deluxes (86) but no Voyagers or even a shelf tag.
Robina Target No headmasters, no joy.
Chermside Kmart - Ss86 Hot Rod
Chermside Zing - Netflix Poiler pack 3 (Megs, purple thing)
This afternoon while checking out the EB Games site for any new listings, I notice the Netflix wave 3 Leader pack on there, and in-stock for pickup only. The only EB Store that had one was Carindale, but on the Zing website the Garden City store still had it... so I bought one and since it said it was ready to pickup in 15 minutes, I impulsively headed on down to the store because it was late-night shopping (otherwise I would have gone tomorrow after work).
And there is still one left on the shelf... along with a giant sized Pop Vinyl Optimus (and I thought the regular ones looked disturbing). They also had one regular Transformers toy.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021oth06.jpg
Target at Garden City - their Transformers selection is getting smaller and smaller.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021tg23.jpg
Kmart - has the second wave Legends Kingdom toys, and just one Deluxe... so their Kingdom selection is also pathetic. (it seems like none of the stores are restocking, almost as if Hasbro Australia under-ordered this time around with Generations)
They did have the next of the Buzzworthy Bumblebee toys... unfortunately it wasn't the small 2-pack with Spike, but the Mega Bumblebee from TF4, for $49.

From the corner of my eye I saw Jurassic Park toys, which from a distance, looked a lot like the packaging for Kingdom... which makes me wonder, since the Jurassic Park toys are done by Mattel, who was copying who (the toy industry is so competitive, it would not be surprising).
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021km28.jpg
Been swinging by Kmart every few days on the lookout for Netflix wave 3. Today was different, Kmart North Lakes has shrunk down the Transformers section basically to nothing. There are a few single units on the shelf (outside of Core classes and Siege Target Masters). All the tags remain on the shelf pushed together with "temporarily out of stock" stickers. None of the new Bumblebee figures listed online are in stock or have tags on the shelf either.
Target headmasters wave 2 is showing up in stores. I got the final 3 from Coomera today. I used the target website to check store stock. I had been checking it daily for updates. The link hopefully works and you can check for stock. Good luck.
https://www.target.com.au/p/transfor...orted/64784861
Buranda says it has stock!!?? Amazing if true.
Nah I don’t think it does. That’s just the default place it shows. If you click on the show who has stock it says it doesn’t.
I saw a set of four of those Headmasters at Target Maroochydore today… only remember Highbrow... but there were four.
Kmart Carindale 2x SS CybertronianStarscream $45
Target Carindale 3x SS Dino, 4x SS B127 $29 (doesn't scan)
Friday at Loganholme.
Kmart - didn't see anything note-worthy. None of the two new Buzzworthy toys.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km29.jpg
Toymate - they are now sitting on a lot of wave 1 Kingdom Deluxes and Voyagers, which will probably end up shelfwarming. (probably annoying all those other collectors in other parts of the country, who can't find them because Toymate bought up so much stock, other stores around the country have bare shelves because of a set amount of stock brought into Australia)
Annoyingly ironic though, the 20-odd Kingdom Leaders that they said were on order a few weeks ago, are still "on order" in their system, so maybe that size class has also got supply issues in this country... and it is probably a good thing that Toymate didn't end up with heaps of them, as it would annoy so many other fans who don't have a Toymate near them, to see them shelfwarming at one retailer.
As soon as I got home, I ordered Beast Megatron from Amazon, as I was tired of waiting for them to get it in.

Yesterday, at target woolloongabba.
Did a quick pass at the target store. There was only ONE transformers figure, and that was the headmaster ‘hardhead’, available for purchase for i think $29. (Cannot upload image of figure on phone for some reason)
(Edit: cannot even upload image of the headmaster on computer)
Kmart Northlakes: Netflix Wave 3 voyagers are listed as coming soon online (I know just over a month ago they popped up, but as fast as they did they took them down) so hopefully that means they are about to hit store shelves (this time). I will do a run to Kmart every day or two after work.
Sadly, still very little stock. Outside of the Target Masters and 2x each of the core Rattrap/Vertebreak, everything else there is only 1x unit of what you can see on shelves.

http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...6&d=1620174325
Zing Northlakes: A few surprises... 1x Generation Selects G2 Megatron and Deep Cover, 3x Netflix Leader Wave 3, 5x Paleotrex, 1x Ractonite, and a few each of Kingdom Core except for 1x Core Megatron.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...1&d=1620175183
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...2&d=1620175196
Target Northlakes: Not up to speed with the Buzzworthy Bumblebee lines, but there is a few there along with 2x each Core Rattrap/Starscream/Vertebreak and 2x each SS86 Blurr/Jazz.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...7&d=1620174538
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...8&d=1620174550
Myer Northlakes: No Kingdom or SS86... But if you are still after Skylynx there is 3 left there.
http://www.otca.com.au/boards/attach...9&d=1620174681
Big W Northlakes: I have nothing to say.. I will let the photo speak for itself.

Kmart Chermside has Dinobot and the wave deluxes
Did the rounds in Toowoomba, the usual waves that are currently out in most places. The big surprise was finding 6 Gigawatts (now 5) in the Mr Toys Toyworld $79.99 and a MP Shadow Panther. I thought there were none left in QLD. They're on an aisle end in a glass case near the middle front of the store.
Today at Kmart Garden city. Wave 2 Kingdom deluxes, Arcee and other wave mates except Huffer, looked like new stock just put out. Voyager Dinobots there were a couple. Missed Huffer again!
I thought the store might have gotten Wave 2 given the online stock indicator showed in-stock instead of low stock (given that they only had one Deluxe last week). I couldn't be bothered going today but wished that I had now... If I apply the same logic, there is potential for Calamvale and Browns Plain to have wave 2 stock as well as they are the only other Kmarts that is not low stock in the vicinity.Quote:

Target Garden City on Thursday had a single SS-71 Dino, which means a whole new case of Deluxes has already disappeared.... or they only got in a couple of single units, as this store doesn't do a great amount of turnover.

Meanwhile over at Coles Sunnybank, a birthday card (it has been a very slow few weeks for sightings for me). It attracted my attention after seeing several at Toyworld.
