There was an SG Starscream at EB Games Brisbane CBD too (the one next to Rocking Horse Records).
Had a bit of a look for Sweeps & Wreck-Gar this weekend myself… nothing at Kmart Sunnybank/Sunnybank Hills, or Garden City. Wreck-Gar is shown on Big W’s online assorted range of SS Voyagers now though.
Took a trip to Target Northlakes to check out the restocks of the Headmasters - about 5 each of all wave 1, no wave 2.

Same in Strathpine Target. Lawnton Mr Toys also has 4+ Worlds Collide packs.Quote:

SS usually show up in all the majors. I wouldn't be too worried yet.
I'm pretty sure Griffin got confirmation that we aren't getting Origin's Bumblebee, you will have to look online for him overseas.Quote:

I hope we see these numbers here in Sydney Target Stores when they (should) reopen next Monday!Quote:

Today at BigW Garden City - they appeared to have restocked their Kingdom Deluxes, but only wave 2. The excitement of thinking that I had found wave 3 (to get Wingfinger), was short lived.
They also look to have had a recent restock of Studio Series Voyagers, but it was a previous wave with Hotrod and Mv6 Starscream.
The most noticeable new stock at this BigW (since my last visit), was a big selection of Rescue Bots... including the big electronic Rescue Bots Hotshot ($69), the Dinobots 3-pack ($53), and both waves of the Rescue Bots Rescan Classic Heroes Teams figures ($22).
The thing that amazes me is how BigW used to be the price-leaders, but Kmart are cheaper for all of these... $59 for the electronic Hotshot, $39 for the 3-pack, and $19 for the Rescan figures.

And for the MOTU fans... I haven't noticed the new toys at BigW yet, but they look to be selling well, based on all the empty pegs.

It is a shame that so many of these came here and was exclusive to just one retailer. If it was a regular release, the numbers in every store and retailer would have been very little, and many would have sold out by now... but this sheer number at just one retailer makes it look bad, and probably had an impact on future exclusives that we will miss out on. (I don't think we were going to get the Origin Bumblebee here originally, but this backlog of a related figure and character would probably have prevented it from coming here later if there was unshipped stock in Asia.)

Netflix Megatron and Hotlink plus Netflix W3 Deluxes at Kmart Garden City.
A random non-Buzzworthy SS74 at Big W.
Was it only one case? Just seeing whether it's worth me going after work today to try and get Scorpornok :D.Quote:

Wow, straight into wave 4... looks like I'm gonna have trouble finding wave 3 wingfinger at an affordable retailer.
that sux! I think I grabbed mine from amazon when it was 36.99 (or something) - its now over $40!Quote:

Did you get your Waspinator yet?
Has Studio Series Deluxe wave 13 (Bumblebee with Sam/SS86 Gnaw/Jolt) been spotted at retail in SE Queensland?
Used to notice inflation above RRP with more popular/harder to find items on the Amazon US site. Unfortunately, it now seems to be happening with some AU items too. Frustrating.Quote:

So I'll have to check back again next week to find out what has caused this.
Jolt was spotted somewhere on the gold coast in the QLD sightings about a week ago... and Gnaw has been on Amazon Australia for about a month (all 3 were supposed to be in the same wave, but I don't think I've seen all 3 appear at the one place anywhere yet. Maybe it is a split revision wave.Quote:

I bought SS Gnaw from Catch about a month ago, he is glorious
I saw a lone Bumblebee with Sam at Big W Garden City which makes me think they had the others but no way to confirm.Quote:
