Try K-Mart. I think they had wave 1 last week when i was there, including Alpha Bravo, so other stores may also have got them in if you aren't going to be in Eocky soon.

Macgregor Mr Toys Toy World had Wave 1 Combiner Wars, so both voyagers, all 4 deluxes and seems to have all the legends as well. Also has some Robots in Disguise figures and some AoE deluxes.

Looks like Wave 2 is only at Big W right now, and even then there seem to be shenanigans. I went to Garden City oday and found only empty pegs. According to staff they were only put out yesterday, and "somebody" bought them all. I don't know if that means there was a rush of early bird collectors or a single nefarious purchaser hoarding toys for the winter, but either way they were completely out. I ended up getting the 4 deluxes from Big W Carindale, but when I left there was only a lone Breakdown left on the shelf.

No sign of the Voyager or Legends figures, and my lack of Motormaster makes me immeasurably sad. Still, at least I don't have to stare longingly at Superialmost any more.

Apparently he does have a name, but I just call him "Placeholder".

On this occasion I wouldn't suspect the worst, as a lot of sightings were suggesting just one case of Deluxes were out at BigWs (two of each toy in a case), so if it was a collector buying for themselves and a friend (which I do on occasions), it's nothing sinister... but just bad luck for anyone else dropping by, and unfortunate for BigW not stocking more with the launch of the toyline to their stores. :mad:

Myer Garden City had the second wave of Deluxes tonight (Thursday night). So get them before the sale ends.

Last night, Big W Rocky had wave 2 deluxe (I have a set in layby). K-Mart had almost literally nothing, it's quite disheartening to see the empty pegs hanging around for so long.

Yep and at other stores it may also have something to do with the fact that they weren't initially scanning up as $29 in Big W's systems -staff were selling them off for as low as $15 each.
