Gen2 redeco of the Fall of Cybertron Combaticons (exclusive to Amazon.com and BBTS in America, and out last week in Asia), has been found in TRU in Australia.
Price should be $100, based on the price listed on the TRU website.

Toyworld is once again the dumping ground of old, unwanted items...

Finally, 7 months after they were released in America/Asia, wave 3 of TFPrime Deluxe has been sighted at a chain store in Australia (Target in Victoria).
It's either Wave 3 or Wave 4.1 (a revision wave - nothing new from Wave 4, just a different assortment of previous figures)... as those two cases have Knockout and Hotshot in them. None of the wave 4 figures were noted/seen, but we did have an independent store in Sydney with a Wave 4.1 case. When some other Target sightings are posted up, we'll be about to work out which wave we (finally) have here.
(Bold = new to that wave)
Wave 1 - 3 Bee, 2 Cliff, 2 Wjack, 1 Swave.
Wave 2 - 1 Arcee, 1 Ratchet, 3 Bee, 1 Cliff, 1 Wjack, 1 Swave.
Wave 3 - 2 Hotshot, 2 Knockout, 1 Vehicon, 1 Bee, 1 Ratchet, 1 Arcee.
Wave 4 - 2 DeadEnd, 2 Shadow Bee, 1 Airachnid, 1 Cliff, 1 Swave, 1 Knockout.
Wave 4.1 - 1 DeadEnd, 1 Airachnid, 2 Vehicon, 1 Wjack, 1 Ratchet, 1 Knockout, 1 Hotshot.
Wave 5 - 2 Kup, 1 Rumble, 1 Shadow Bee, 1 Arcee, 1 DeadEnd, 1 Hotshot, 1 Airachnid.
Wave 6 - (nothing new) 2 Bee, 1 Rumble, 1 Kup, 1 Vehicon, 1 Swave, 1 Knockout, 1 Wjack.
Previously a Target exclusive (can still find them in some Targets), the TF3 Autobot Daredevil Squad pack is in Toyworld now, but this one is the Multi-lingual version... so Hasbro is dumping more cheap, unwanted stock in Australia from other parts of the world.
It's $30.

Just to update the post above the last posting - it is definitely Wave 3 of the TFPrime Deluxes (Vehicon, Knock Out, Hotshot) being found now in lots of places, at BigWs and Targets.
Target appears to be the one catching up with the Deluxe TFPrime toys, as Wave 4 are being found at various stores (includes Dead End, Airachnid & Shadow Strike Bumblebee).

Also, Wave 2 Cmdr class (Dreadwing & Ironhide) now found at a Kmart in Brisbane, so could be easier to find soon. (was previously only at a small number of places)
Wave 2 and 3 BotShots Launchers (Ironhide & Starscream) have been found at a Target in Sydney.

B001 - Bumblebee "Flip shot" (new mould - Auto)
B002 - (Gen1) Ironhide "Spin shot" (new mould - Decep)
B003 - (Movie) Shockwave "Jump shot" (new mould - Decep)

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/cv33.jpg
It was $7.
(I don't think it was sighted before now)
The Beast Hunters toys have been sighted at a Toyworld in North Queensland, so should be in more stores closer to their warehouses in Melbourne and Brisbane.
Found are the Deluxe class, which includes Soundwave, Wheeljack, Bumblebee and Lazerback.
Toyworld prices for Deluxes can be up to $30.

A sighting in the Sydney CBD store of Voyagers and Deluxe Beast Hunters toys...
If Myer and Toyworld have them now, the major chains should start getting them in soon.

http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/tfpbh06.jpg
Myer (Sydney CBD) has Legends Beast Hunters: Bumblebee, Airachnid Twinstrike & Smokescreen.
Beast Hunters Battle Masks (Optimus and Bumblebee - each with a flip down green visor) have been found at a TRU in Perth...
The BotShots Launchers (Optimus & Bumblebee) have also been found at a TRU in Sydney as well.
And Kmart are now stocking Beast Hunters toys, with pricing details here.
Looks like the Wave 1 Kreons have finally been released here, 4 months after Asia and America.
Codes, for those looking for them...
22981 40 - Singe (Turbomaster Scorch) (Euro Gen1)
22981 41 - Inferno (Gen1)
22981 42 - Autobot Springer (Gen1)
22981 43 - Warpath (Gen1)
22981 44 - Quickslinger (Slingshot) (Gen1)

We are pretty much going to miss the rest of the TFPrime toys here, but one of the few that Hasbro got in before Beast Hunters toys arrived are the final wave of Legion toys (Fallback/Outback, Tailgate, Knockout), which have now been found at Woolworths (I think their price is about $7).
The recent Hasbro AUS updates claimed that the convertible second series Rescue Bots toys were not being released here, but may have just been a lack of knowledge of their own product descriptions, as the second wave (Boulder and Blades, with Optimus and Bumblebee, and probably Chase and Heatwave as well) have been found at Target, for $29 each.
I think that was the same price as the first series here. It is worth noting though, that the Rescue Bots robots didn't have a price increase in the last year, so remained at US$13.... while mainline Deluxe toys increased from US$12 to US$15. These used to be priced more because they were bigger toys, but now are cheaper in America. Not that it would be reflected here.
As with before, Rescue Bots are likely to only be stocked by a couple chains here.
Myer have ended up with the TRU exclusive Scanning Ironhide and Sideswipe from June 2011, for $30 each. (same price that TRU had them for)
The first of four Platinum Edition figures that are supposed to be coming to Australia for the mid-year toy sales, has arrived at Target - Ultra Magnus.
$79 (it might be discounted if it is still around for the July toy sale)
Target have got in pre-packed mixed Hasbro toy displays in stores, which includes...
Wave 1 Cmdr (Bulkhead, Optimus, Predaking)
Wave 3 Deluxe (Ratchet, Dreadwing, Skystalker)
AND
Wave 1 Voyager GEN (Soundwave/Soundblaster)
Some earlier wave Deluxe figures may be in there as well, as I can see Bumblebee in the photo below.
Wave 2 of Beast Hunter Legions have been found at Woolworths ($7), so should start showing up elsewhere soon as well.

Platinum (YOTS) Optimus Prime at Kmart now, for the mid year sale. $69
From a Sydney BigW comes Wave 4 Beast Hunter Voyager Megatron. (Looks like we've definitely missed Shockwave then - unless it is repacked in a future wave)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tftoys/tfpbh24.jpg
And from a South Australian Toyworld, come the Construct-bots - Wave 1 Elite, Triplechangers & 2-pack. (Scouts could be later)

Wave 2 & 3 of Beast Hunters Cmdrs have shown up at Woolies (who were also first to get the wave 2 & 3 Legions).
Wave 2 - Trailcutter & Hardshell
Wave 3 - Shockwave & Starscream
Price is apparently $17 each though, but cheaper stores may get them if they ever restock.

Looks like the American Target exclusives could be coming to Australia after all (after being told at Toyfair that we weren't).
The Voyager Dark Steel (redeco Grimwing) has been sighted at a Target in Victoria.
Meanwhile, Metroplex might finally be out here.
