Rhinox has certainly come out in force quite suddenly... I see it in quite a few sightings, and only in the last week. (it was first out in Australia in August, but I think that was just Amazon Australia)

Rhinox has certainly come out in force quite suddenly... I see it in quite a few sightings, and only in the last week. (it was first out in Australia in August, but I think that was just Amazon Australia)
I am at Big W Carindale. They have a secret shelf of Rinoxes and Cyclonus up high in the toy section. The other Voyagers are 20% off so I am guessing they will be $40 too. So that is two stores with Rhinox in the wild.
I found Wreck-Gar at long last at Myer CBD, $12 off too!
Does anyone know if Buzzworthy origins Bumblebee is set to be released anytime?
As fat as I'm aware from info here, he is not coming to Aus. Have to import.Quote:

Big W Garden City had quite a few Rhinox yesterday.
Kmart Sunnybank on Wednesday - A restock of Netflix since I was last there a couple weeks ago, but only two characters left. I noticed that was new was the Cybervese Deluxe (green packaging), but only Soundwave and Thunderhowl left (no Cheetor).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km66.jpg
Kmart Garden City on Friday (yesterday) - also had Cyberverse Deluxe, but only Soundwave (Cheetor was gone already too). The had a single Netflix toy left, and a single SS Jolt from that wave left too.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km67.jpg
BigW Garden City same day - had a lot of new Transformers toys (for Christmas), but probably not a lot to interest the older collectors. The new Cyberverse Roll N Change, and a LOT of Rescue Bots Bumblebee 3-packs & electronic Optimus Prime T-Rex.
Also a SS86 Sweep, which is the first I had seen at a BigW (previously at Kmart)... plus a lot of Kingdom Rhinox and wave 4 Deluxe.

Kmart Carindale today - still had quite a few of the Cyberverse Deluxe wave that has Cheetor. (I got one, and there was at least one left). Also most of the wave 3 Netflix Deluxe figures, and a Voyager Sparkless Seeker. Plus a couple of SS Sweeps.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km68.jpg
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km69.jpg
Also found the first of what will be fairly common in future with any toys that come apart easily that are in packaging that has no plastic windows - little fingers playing with the toys are able to easily remove parts (unintentionally, or intentionally).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km70.jpg
Coles Sunnybank - found a Transformers birthday card...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021c01.jpg
Myer CBD has about 10 Wreck-Gars & 20 Sweeps, 10 or so Gnaws & Jazz, about 10 or so SS ROTF Bees & Jolts.
Kingdom selection was not as orderly but plenty of Rhinoxeri & various other deluxes & voyagers, Magnus, Galvatron... Also 6 (!) Kingdom Arks. All at Myer prices but 20% off, so Titans going for $240 there.
Reject Shop Sunnybank today - Authentics Bravo (small size) latest wave with Barricade (along with Ratchet, Optimus, Bumblebee and Megatron).
Barricade did first show up at Woolies in April, but this is a second option for people, at the same price of $10.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021oth08.jpg
Didn't get a chance to posy yesterday.
Kmart Toombul had some wave 3 Netflix. 2x Sparkless Seeker, 2x Optimal/Rattrap, 2x Rusticon, 2x Deesus Drone and 2x BB Thunderhowl. Nothing else noteworthy..
Target Toombul still had lots of Wave 1 Retro Headmasters, 2x Shadow Panther, 1x Waspinator, 2x Tracks.
Anyone seen a Kingdom Deluxe Scorponok floating around??
I've tried a few shops and had no luck.
Northlakes Big W had a couple yesterday arvo (23/12 at about 4:30pm), hope it helps!
Are you bloody kidding me?? I was there the 22nd and didn't see any! Must have put more out.. now I gotta try my luck again in the busy period ?Quote:

Kmart Victoria Point
Various Wave 2 and 3 Netflix Deluxes including a single Bumbleebee
https://i.imgur.com/nxJfY0B.jpg
These sightings might not be of any use to regulars here, but it can still show us items that could be at chains elsewhere.
Kmart Stockland Hervey Bay DEC 24th - wave 2 Netflix Deluxe and wave 3 Voyagers like other Kmarts have been getting again in the last couple off weeks.
I also saw one of those Cyber Series figures, which someone else had found a couple months ago, but I hadn't seen in Brisbane yet.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km71.jpg
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2021km72.jpg
BigW Pialba DEC 26th - Still quite a few of the four Vintage Beast Wars toys... plus two waves of Studio Series Deluxe, and an older wave of SS Voyagers with Starscream and Hotrod. Also quite a few Cyberverse Ultra Rack-n-Ruin, which had mostly only appeared at Toyworld and Amazon before now.

Coles Pialba DEC 26th - Both small and large Authentics, which were both on sale until today (I thought it was longer, so missed mentioning it before it expired).
All of the Coles stores near me in Brisbane stopped selling Transformers toys months ago, so it was a big surprise seeing some at this store... and the big ones too, which I didn't think were still in Australia.
The small size is the latest wave (Barricade), but the large size could be really old stock, as it looks to be the first wave from back in 2018.

Kmart North Lakes: Nothing much to report.. Those still looking for wave 3 Netflix, 3x Sparkless Seeker and 2x Optimus/Rattrap. Only 1x Deepcover and 2-3 each of the Rusticon/Deeseus Drone. 1x SS86 Sweep left.
Target North Lakes: Nothing new.. Still stacks of Retro Headmasters wave 1, sold out of the Thunderhowl/Cheetor release.
Big W North Lakes: Stacks of Rhinox, 2x Wingfinger, 2x Tracks, 1x SS Starscream, 2x SS86 Slug, 1x SS86 Sweep. And then just stacks of Kingdom wave 2/3 Deluxes mixed with some 3.
Mr Toys Rothwell: 2x Rodimus Prime, 1x Galvatron, 2x Earthmode Magnus, 2x BB Worlds Collide 4pack and quite a few old Earthrise figures (including Snapdragon if you still need him).
Kmart Robina
Cyberverse Deluxe Dinobot Slug $32

From a couple of weeks ago... I forgot that I didn't post them yet.
Kmart Sunnybank - a restock of Netflix and Kingdom, but remember that this was a couple weeks ago, and I haven't been back there since.

http://toycollectors.com.au/2021km74.jpg
Toyworld Macgregor - it was like a mixed bag of surprises, with a number of new and old collector items, and a KD T-Wrecks that had a discounted price sticker with a written note to say that it was demo stock (not sure what that means, as they don't display toys in this store).

And near the Transformers section, I saw this KO toy that is clearly based on Cyber Series Starscream, but with some remoulding.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2021tw27.jpg
Did the walk around Orion Springfield today. Nothing out of the ordinary. Except, Kidstuff closed permanently on Saturday. Kidstuff is always a bit random, though given they had signs like "70% off" and "nothing over $10" I wish I had got a chance to have a look. For the Lego at least. Shame to see them go.
Woolworths have raised their price for the Authentics Bravo (small size) toys, up a dollar to $11.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2022ww01.jpg
JB-HIFI Burleigh Heads has 1x Rodimus, 1x Titan Class Autobot Ark, 1x T-Wrecks and 1x Megatron.
Hadn?t been into one for ages, and was surprised to find transformers there.
They do that now, having more or less abandoned selling music. They also stock board games and a range of other dolls. Just don't look too closely at the asking price for that Rodimus, and I cannot imagine what they want for the Ark... :rolleyes:Quote:

Toymate Robina
Studio Series core class: 3x Shockwave, 3x Ravage $20 each
https://imgur.com/9S375DJ.jpg
Okay. Weird one at Kessels Rd Mr Toys. Literally a dozen SS18 VW Bumblebees. I am not sure where they dug them out from.
About 8 of each Ss Core Shockwave and Ravage at Target Chermside, will edit post with anything else I see while browsing other shops (nothing Kmart)
Hopefully Ravage and Shockwave go down to $15 on sale.
Toymate Logan Hyperdome on Friday...
Since I was last there (apparently it was all the way back in May... longer than I thought), Toymate has moved the Transformers from the wall to one of the aisles.
Quite a few things to note...
Studio Series Core class Ravage and Shockwave for $20 (just Ravage left now).
Heaps of The Ark for $300, and heaps of Rodimus for $159.
The Worlds Collide 4-pack (with Fangry) for $149.
A butt-load of 2018 Power of the Primes Voyager class Hungrrr and Elita-1 for $35 each.
Speaking of old... Rescue Bots Flip Changers for $30, which are from way back in 2013. The interesting thing is that they were never released in Australia back then. They were labelled at Toyfair that year as New Zealand only... so this makes it a first sighting for Australia, nine years late. Now I have to go back to the 2013 Checklist page and update it, from "not here" to "here 2021-2022". (being 8 months since the last time I was there, they could have been there at any time)
Buzzworthy Bumblebee/Spike 2-packs that flooded Kmart, for $35 here.
Buzzworthy Bumblebee RID combiner 2-packs, also for $35.
Buzzworthy Bumblebee Spark Armor for $30 (down from $50).
Leader class Studio Series used to be $80, but now $89. Still probably the cheapest source for Leader class though.
A single Delorean Transformer, with a big label stuck to the side saying that it was $60 and was the last one. (not sure why it needs a label)
Cyberverse 2-pack combiners (just wave 1) for $50.
Rescue Bots Firetruck Hotshot for $70.
"Rescue Bots" Plane Optimus (with Bumblebee) for $80.
"Rescue Bots" Electronic Trex Optimus for $99.
Earthrise Slitherfang and Singe... the two hardest Battlemasters to find here, for $6 each.
Heaps of those old Siege Battlemasters that flooded Kmart last year, for just $4 here.
It reminds me of how some Toyworld stores were about 10 years ago, with a range of stock that was several years old.

The back of the box of one of the Rescue Bots Flip Changers to show that they were from 2013. Where have they been collecting dust all this time?
http://toycollectors.com.au/2022tm10.jpg
The wave of Cyberverse Scouts, which I think is wave 9... which was just a wave of re-releases.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2022tm11.jpg
At the front of the store they had a large number of these single-pack Hangrees... which are those pooping parody toys released almost 3 years ago, but looks like the unsold stock has been dumped in Australia for cheap, as these were just $3 (from an RRP of $20).
The reason why I noticed them is because I remembered that there was a Transformers one (Pooptimus Prime), but when I got back home I looked it up and that one was in a 3-pack, so it wasn't one of these.

Haven't been able to do the rounds lately.. Stopped in quickly to Target North Lakes while I had the chance. roughly 6x core class SS Ravage and Shockwave on show. Still a few of the Wave 1 Retro Headmasters available, no wave 2.

Posted to our fb page was a photo of the 2nd wave of Studio Series Core class at Target in Rockhampton...

Any chance that's the Wave 2 Retro Headmasters as well?? Willing to risk the drive for both :PQuote:

Today at Kmart Sunnybank... I popped in impulsively looking for something else, and just checked out the toy section while I was there. Lucky I did, as there was one new toy there that I then bought - Rescue Bots Rescan Ratchet.
They also had the new "Rescue Bots" Dino 2-packs, which the shelf tag has them called "Dinobot Defenders", for $29 each.
Quite a few Rescue Bots toys at the moment, plus 3 SS Sweeps and a single WreckGar, along with Kingdom Voyagers Cyclonus, Rhinox and Dinobot.

Okay, did a small round trip today. Nothing note worthy found sadly. I know people have talked about the price hike in Big W previously, but I only remember them talking about the Leader being increased to $95. But SS Voyagers have increased to $60 as well (Kingdom still listed at $45). Sadly no tag up for Kingdom Leaders and didn't have time to run around to find the price of Galvatron. Zing also did have 1x Commander Rodimus and 2x Worlds Collide packs in the display case.
