They probably DID have them and just didn't no what to look for. There's still Wheeljack, scourge and thundercracker if you wants

*this is the one with Megatron's jet mode flying out of his butt... TRU told me that they just got this shipment of 'cheap/clearance' stock from Hasbro (which musta been sitting somewhere for a long time). Pity it wasn't old stock of something rare or not previously released here.
Big W Underwood has pretty much the same stock as Griffin spotted at Carindale.
Has anyone looked at online stores? I only mention it as my wife ordered me some DOTM voyagers (Prime, Megs & Ironhide) for my birthday from www.fishpond.com.au - $40 each with free delivery.
Although looking on the site now Megs has gone up to $50.... but now you can get Voyager Prime for $24.35!!
Forgot to mention - Myer may have had an introductory discount of 25% off TFs... I bought a pack of the TF3 Snap Cards, and wasn't charged $10. I didn't question it in case it was a scanning error (the cards aren't worth $10, so didn't want to pay the extra $2.50), but when I looked at the receipt while walking away, it had printed on it 'Promotional Discount 25%'.
I cant see anything on the Myer website, and since Myer prices for TFs are higher than any other store, people here probably haven't bought anything there to know about it, or what it covers. I might ring a store tomorrow, if I remember.
My Myer had signs of a 2 day 25% off all full-priced toys 21/22 May.
Wheeljack and Thundercracker sighted at Kmart Cannon Hill (no Warpath, Kup or Scourge)
2 cases of Generations Wave 8 at Kmart Garden City!! I nabbed a Scourge but still 3x Warpath, 2x Wheeljack, 3x Thundercracker, 2x Kup and 1x Scourge. They were scanning properly for $25.
I think that news will make some Brisbanites very very happy.
BIGW Runaway Bay had only a few legends in stock, plus Voyager Megatron and Optimus. But they also have an endcap display (walk almost out of the toy section, its right on the end) with lots of lovely looking Deluxes at 23.94.
This seems to be the cheapest yet, until BIGW has its sale.
Wave 1 stock only, alas.
Two cases at Sunnybank Kmart as well... so really good to see stores restocking the toys fans are wanting. $25 each.
Also saw the Wave 4 & 5 PCC 2-packs at Coles Sunnybank for $20 each.
Target Runaway Bay have a whole display devoted to Transformer BOOKS.
Transformers THE VAULT ($29)
Plus a whole range of poster books, 3D visual guides, sticker books, activities
etc priced at $6 to $7 - perfect for redeeming a weekly card from.
I'm just floored by the quality of the vault, the extra posters and cards and stuff. Just be warned as the book comes in a plastic case that is easy to slip off, and is NOT shrinkrapped. I'd buy yours early, if you want one, before people start pinching the good stuff.
Toyworld Southport has a new, and what appears to be australian exclusive, amazingly affordable DOTM Walkie Talkie set with basestation.
Its outrageously priced at $49.99, but still amazingly cool
Has anyone else seen the Vault book in brisbane, would like to get it but cant justify going to the gold coast to get a book.
Plenty of the new book at my Target, as well as increased DOTM displays at Target and Myer. Still no new Generations at Kmart, but surprisingly, the 15 they had filling 3 pegs, has increased to 17, surprisingly now made up mostly of Skullgrin. Weird.
I can confirm Wave 8 of Generations are at a Kmart on the north side of Brisbane (Arana Hills). I myself got Kup, Scourge and Warpath, but Wheeljack and Thundercracker fill the shelves also. Must be 2 cases. $25
Target CBD has eight copies of Transformers Vault for $29 (looks really nice)
Big W CBD somehow restocked with six of the ROTF Optimus w/ Camshaft packs for $70
Garden City David Jones had Wave 2 Legions and Commanders
Garden City Big W has Wave 2 Legions
Kmart mt Ommaney as of 10am
3x warpath
1x scourge (he's at the back!)
1x kup
4x thundercracker
4x wheeljack
:( if I had more money on me I would have picked up some warpaths for you guys.
There was also a huge $49 stealth force bumblebee in a tube shaped pack. and other DOTM stuff.
Kmart Sunnybank had 3 Warpaths and 1 Scourge $25
Springwood Target doesnt have the Transformers Vault book but Brisbane CBD Target has heaps left.
Target Mt Ommaney has few vault books and nice display of the movie toys.
ROTF activators on clearance for $19.99 at indro woolies. They had them up near the checkouts.
Bumblebee, Optimus and Megatron.
there are about 5 transformers vaults at target carindale for $29
Wave 8 of Generations at Kmart Loganholme... as at last Wednesday anyways $25....shelf was a bit thin but they may have restocked.
Picked up Kup, Scourge, Warpath and Wheeljack...
although my Wheeljack has 2 left hands!!! :-/
Should I be happy that perhaps that makes him rare?
DOTM Ark playset found at Mr toysworld Westfield Chermside for $60
The more I look at my double-lefty Wheeljack the more I don't mind...
I think it makes him more unique... and it's not noticable when he holds his weapon.
I could even his swap the right hand from Perceptor, as the hands look identical.... and Perceptor seems more like the double molly dooka type lol
Wheeljack also seems to be the type to 'experiment' on himself and do body modification.
Myers seems to be the place for Wave 2 Deluxes.
Myers Robina had a full case on display. I picked up Lazerbeak (face only a mother could love) and Thundercracker, but there are still plenty of Bumblebee and one each of Sideswipe and Mudflap (or was it skids, i always get them confused).
Also, I saw jigsaw puzzle boxes (small) with art from Dreamwave covers, and a larger set containing a four pack. They seem to be brand new products, and they're made by an Australian company. Weird to get an Aus exclusive for a change :)
That's wave 3 deluxes. We still haven't had any sightings for Wave 2 (which includes Topspin - the blue racecar). It should appear again in a later wave.... but would be frustrating for those wanting to get it with the rest of the world.
I'm not too concerned about the DOTM range (bring on more Classics/Universe 2.0/Generations style TFs), but I did see Topspin at Toyworld Redbank yesterday evening - he does look pretty cool with a don't f**k with me vehicle mode! I guess he'll start appearing in other Toyworlds. There was also alot of Nitro deluxes - not sure what this wave is as I haven't looked too much into them. Laserbeak was there too along with the ARK - I must admit, I do want the ARK, but 60 bucks seems a bit steep.
TRU Garden City has the
- Wave 2 Cyberverse Playsets: Optimus Prime Armoured Weapons Platform & Megatron Blastwave Weapon Base-
- Wave 3 deluxes - Laserbeak, Barricade, Thundercracker & Mudflap
- DotM Transcanning deluxe Sideswipe & Ironhide (both repaints of HtfD molds)
- DotM Leader Ironhide
- Wave 2 DotM Voyagers - Shockwave & Skyhammer
The Wave 2 Cyberverse Playsets were $30 but I got it priced matched from Big W for $23.70.
The lady at TRU say she didnt care which one Big W has! Great outcome.
Toyworld Mt Gravatt has nothing exciting whatsoever.
The Ark has not appeared there. Will check Loganholme and Springwood on the weekend. If anyone has been there, please feel free to add comments.
I bought topspin from Toyworld Southport today, and also saw Jolt as well. He is not the beautiful blue paintwork from ROTF though :(
Topspin is bristling with weapons and an awesome sculpt. So it looks like we are getting waves out of order then? Kmart Southport has Thundercracker and Lazerbeak as well
The ARK Playset spotted at Mr Toys Toyworld Springwood. They are at the bottom right part of the TFs. About 6 left.
$59.95.
Saw this morning, wave 3 Deluxes (Thundercracker, Laserbeak, Nitro Bbee, Mudflap and w2 re-releases Barricade, Sideswipe) at Kmart Sunnybank. They didn't appear to have any Wave 1 Deluxes left other than 3 Bbees, so that size class seems to be moving. And still another 3 weeks until the Movie starts 'advertising' the toys.
Kmart also had the Electronic Stealth Force Bbees, for $49 (same price as Target).
TRU Australia fair? The one on the gold coast. :)
"scanning series" ironhide and sideswipe - the partially clear ones
Shockwave (so maybe skyhammer too) and the ark playset.
Target Browns Plains has a heap of stuff - DotM covers an endcap and a whole side of a 3-meter shelving section.
Nothing new though that I could see.
Saw a couple new merchandise items (photos and details in Merchandise sightings topic later).
Also saw a heap of kids books for DotM, and 1 Vault book left.
And in the Star Wars section, I was pleasantly surprised to see a new wave of Crossovers - Keeli, Droid Commander, Anakin/Ep2 fighter without hyperdrive ring, and the other re-releases for that wave. Wolff was already missing though.
TRU Pacific Fair (GC) has finally restocked, and some lovely new toys.
Voyager Skyhammer and Shockwave (39.99, but only a few of each left)
Cyberverse Autobot ARK (59.99)
Cyberverse Optimus Prime set (29.99) x2
Cyberverse Megatron set (29.99) x 6
Transcanning Ironhide, 29.99
Transcanning Sideswipe, 29.99
both look awesome, IMHO
Leader class Ironhide
2x Energon Swords
All this new stock is at the front of the store, and can't e found in the Transformers isle.
Noteworthy items at Garden City Kmart were the Wave 3 deluxes ($22), and one Generations Wheeljack ($25)
TRU had one Shockwave and one Skyhammer (which has a broken MechTech weapon) for $40, a couple of Arks ($60), Leader Ironhide ($80) and no more of the Optimus and Megatron playsets, and a lot of those Energon Shock Blades
DOTM Deluxe wave 2 sighted in Toyworld CBD.
Woolworths Sunnybank restocked yet again their wave 4 PCC 5packs (Dinobots, Constructicons). People seem to be buying these things...
