Not a sighting so much, but the new Toymate store opens at Garden City this weekend (where David Jones used to be).
JB @ Maroochydore Home had 1 Bombshell, which I bought. The stock tracker has been showing nothing in my area, but the dude confirmed his computer showed stock, and he said the website stock tracker reliability has really tanked in the past month or so. So, if you used to rely on that, I would recommend you call instead. Just quote the 6-digit sku from right under the title on the website.
JB's stock system is set to deliberately lie about the numbers (not the only such store that does it, either). If they have something like 3 or fewer in a store, the web page will show no stock, because they want to have something on the shelf for physical customers.
I picked up Studio series Optimus primal, night bird and 86 ratchet from my Ommaney JBhifi at the current Black Friday sale prices They weren’t on display, I had to ask the girl at the counter to get them for me. I’m so glad to finally get a CHUG ratchet. He’s been my holy grail for over 15 years
Kmart Maroochydore: Has 2 Studio Series 86 Voyager Ironhides, one of which has a slightly damaged box. I already have one so thought I'd pass on the find.
Toyworld at Australia Fair had Legacy Deluxes Sandstorm, Nightprowler and Buzzsaw.
Zing Chermside
Legacy United Wave 1 Deluxes and Leaders
JB Chermside
Buzzworthy 102 Optimus
Toymate Robina: Transformers Beast Wars Reaction figures (Wave 1) and a random mixture of Jazz and Starscream (all look ex-store stock, and severe shelf ware…… beast wars were undamaged). Also random STNG and Turtles reaction.

Also, a huge wall of a new line of original transforming figures, made in China. The prices are VERY affordable (a deluxe size for $4.99) with very simple transformation steps, but fun for kids or as christmas stocking stuffers. They also have a larger class of Dino type (all original, no copies of dinobots) but they were on a shelf too high to reach and look at

I only bought the plane, and today regret not getting some of the others (tank type artillery). It’s a simple transformation, very boxy, but surprisingly fun to play with.
I found a possible new piece of Transformers merchandise at work tonight.
Transformers G1-themed shopping bags.

$3 at Big W. The keycode is 390201 if you want to call your local store to see if they have stock. Unfortunately, there is no listing on the Big W website, so no online orders are possible.
In Hi-Fi Springfield had 1 SS Mohawk $15.98 and two legacy Tigerhawks for $94.
I spotted SS108 ROTB wheel jack, SS107 scorponok, and SS brawn at Kmart in Ipswich. $32 each.
if i could actually order that brawn online, i could get it with free shipping -_-Quote:

Awesomesauce! Shit prices, but I believe that's the first time those two have been seen in Australia. Wave 2 (they're all of it) is only 9 months late...Quote:

Maybe.
Devcon is in wave 3 of Legacy Evolution. So far, only wave 1 wave of Legacy Evolution has made it to standard retail, and then only recently (within the last 4 months). If Devcon does come to standard retail, we should expect another wave of deluxes in between first.
Big W Sunshine Plaza has SS WFC, Junk/Scrapheap, Needlenose and Breakdown, at least 2 of each (except Breakdown)
Big W Garden City has new Studio Series stock. 2 Wheeljacks, a Scorponok, and a Scrapheap.
It's still possible, but I wouldn't hold my breath.Quote:

Myer Carindale had 2x SS86 Leader Snarl and 1x SS Optimus Primal, $85 with the current 15% off. There was one SS Gamer Starscream left (so Shockwave has come and gone).
Big W had a lot of SS Deluxe Scorponok, Brawn and Wheeljack for $30, and 3x SS Gamer Starscream (no junkheap).
Toyworld had $29 Shattered Glass Blaster, Earthspark Deluxes for $30 (including Shockwave and Optimus) and WFC Kingdom Waspinator and Paleotrex for $20.

I've noticed that JB in Perth has lots of stores again on their website with stock of both. I think JB bought a second lot from their supplier, which is good as they seemed to be 2 of each per store at release and sold quickly. The scalpers can cry about it.Quote:
