Kmart Sunnybank has been restocked as well, with GEN Legends (Rodimus, Skywarp, Groove, Warpath, Blackjack), RID Transforming Titans ($25), plus older RID Warrior, Legion & 1-step.
Only one Gen Deluxe left (First Aid), which is pretty good, as they only just got in a case about a week ago. (it'll take a month to restock though :( )
Yes, it might be a revision wave for Wave 4, as the earlier sightings didn't note Blackjack (or it could have been bought already before each of those sightings).
A trip to Garden City yesterday with Christalcase, mostly because I was hoping to get at least two of the Clash toys from ToysRUs for 22% off (with the help of his VIP card to be able to use a second voucher)... but the ToysRUs store still didn't have any of the Warrior or 3-step Clash toys yet. :mad:
They did have the first wave of Minicons for $10, so I ended up getting two of those, saving a HUGE $4.40, and leaving two Minicons behind that I didn't want to pay full price for yet. :(
The TRU store also had a heap of the RID Deployers, but no shelf tag yet to note the price.
Kmart had the new RID Wave 5 Legions, with the repacked wave 4 Bumblebee...

Also the RID 1-step wave 4 with repacked Wave 3.

The bizarre thing was that there were FIVE grey Sideswipes from wave 4, but NO black Bumblebees from that wave. For some reason, the scourge of the franchise in terms of flooding the toyline with masses of Bumblebees, was actually already all gone, and it wasn't even the regular full yellow version either.
What sort of mirror-verse was this Kmart in?
(if they actually had Bumblebee, I would have bought both of the Wave 4 redecos... but then I would have realised when I got home that I already imported them some time ago and forgot :o so I guess that was lucky)
Speaking of strange... how about this for sheer craziness.
The NON-transforming Titans for Rescue Bots are $29, while the transforming Titans of the same size for RID are $25. The "cheap" do-nothing gimmick toys are more expensive.

Target didn't appear to have anything new since my last posted report of the store about a month ago.
Same with BigW... they still looked to have the same 12-14 Transformers toys from last month, with 6-7 of them being the RID Hero Mashers.
Target was/is the store chain that's traditionally a once or twice a year restocker of Transformers toys, but now BigW seems to be dragging its feet with reliable restocking, which puts off buyers if they think a particular retailer is getting stale on the things that need to be refreshed. Most of us collectors will cut back on the frequency we check out certain stores that have proven themselves as a waste of time going in to, even if it is within a shopping-centre that has a store you are currently there checking out. (like, I rarely check out Myer despite being right there near Target & Kmart, because they don't restock often, and their prices are high)
Myer had a single YOTG Soundwave, and a single Platinum Coneheads set, but nothing else new.
I found the hardcover 8-volume reprint of the original series Comic in their (tiny) book section, but not the TFPrime paper-craft set that is on their website.
Coles had some old TF4 1-steps on sale for $15 (from $20).
The non-transforming Rescue Bots Titans are $15 at several Kmart locations in Melbourne. Must be a BrisVegas thing. ;) Or perhpas the $29 price tag is actually for the transforming Rescue Bot Elite Rescue Heatwave.
It's possible that I got the Epic and Elite mixed up, and the store did as well by sticking the $15 Epic (Titans) above the shelf-tag for the Elite (Heatwave).
The photo is too small to see the wording, and I've already deleted the original.
I take that back then. :o
Mr Toys Kawana has about 8 Devys (SDCC) in stock at that price of $299.
Was at Aspley Toys R Us today, they had a big stock of defensor limbs, a heap or RID guys of all sizes.
Even a star saber or two out the back if people still wanted one of those.
Just picked up SDCC Devastator from Toyworld (Queen Street Mall) for $249. They have a few left. They are in the glass display case with figures/statues.
