FINALLY... the last of the fourth wave of Titans Return toys have been found in Australia, some 3 months after they were first released in Asia.
This is the wave with Quake, Krok, Topspin, Perceptor and Kup.
(we do still need to get a proper release of wave 4 Voyager Broadside though)

Found in the first half of July in Australia...
RID Crash Combiners wave 3 (Shocknado, Wildbreak, PrimeStrong)
TF5 Masterpiece Bumblebee (at Zing - possibly a store exclusive)
RID Legion 2017 wave 3 (Heatseeker, Cyclonus)
RID 1-step 2017 wave 3 (Heatseeker, Strongarm)
TF5 Leader wave 1 (Megatron, Optimus)

The first wave of the Movie Allspark Tech toys have been found at ToysRUs for $35 each.
These are the ones without the enclosed electronic cube, so the main gimmick for these toys are dormant until the Cube toys are released here.
Generations wave 5 Voyagers (Blitzwing and Octone/Octane) have now been found in Australia, showing up at Kmart first... and in Western Australia first too.

TF5 Knight Armor Megatron (wave 2) came out here at least a month ago, but I missed it because I got one in June, but thought I bought it locally... when in fact I had it posted to me.
Also found here in the last few days, but no photos yet - TF5 Legion wave 3 (Hound & Dragonstorm - missing wave 2 here it seems), RID 3-step/Hyperchange wave 3 (Soundwave, redeco Bumblebee & redeco Steeljaw - also missing wave 2 here), and TF5 Knight Armour wave 3 (Hound).
Looks like we might have the second wave of Movie Legions after all, as Drift, Crosshairs and Megatron have been found at Kmart and BigW, a week after wave 3 (Hound and Dragonstorm) were being found at Kmart.
No photos yet, but just like the two (only) sightings of Generations Voyager Blitzwing and Octone over in Perth, the Movie Voyagers from wave 3 (Nitro and Scorn) have also been found in Perth, at a Target store.
Hopefully they show up in other states and stores... as well as the GEN Voyagers.
Wave 3 Movie 1-steps have been found at a Target store in Victoria, which has Cogman, Scorn and Drift... all with the new Cyberfire gimmick promo on the front of the packaging (to encourage you to buy the large Dragonstorm 1-step toy, to activate the hidden paint details that are actually on all 1-step toys, not just the later waves).
Sighted this week in Australia - TF5 Movie Deluxe wave 2 (Sqweeks, Slug, Steelbane, Drift) at BigW, and Rescue Bots wave 3 "rescan" robots (Chase stegosaurus, Chase truck, Optimus truck).

Spotted this weekend - the final wave of RID 1-steps (Soundwave), and the latest Rescue Bots Megabot (Blades). Both at Kmart stores. (along with more of the licensed Dickie diecast vehicles, for RID and the Movie)
At Kmart Garden City...

RID Legion Twinferno is now out in Australia, first found at Coles.
And the big Rescue Bots Flip Racers Optimus Trailer trackset has apparently been found at a Toyworld for $120.

Power of the Prime toys now out in Australia... first sighted at a Toyworld in Canberra.
So far found are the Deluxe, Voyager and Legends sizes, with Prime Masters said to be on their way.
Posted up on Facebook - the Leaders and Prime Masters found at a Toyworld in Victoria.
That's the entire first wave released, and showing up at Toyworld first.
(other retailers will depend on when they clear out enough of their old stock first)

A couple of new sightings from today, and some less popular items from last week.
Today, found at Toyworld in the ACT was the first wave of Studio Series Leaders (Blackout and Grimlock), for $90.
And at a QLD Woolies, the first wave of the small sized Authentics (Optimus, Bumblebee, Megatron, Starscream), for $10 each.
And from the previous week or two, the second wave of RID 3-steps (new mould Grimlock and redeco Thunderhoof), which we skipped last year when wave 3 and 4 were being released while the RID toyline was still going.
Plus the fourth "wave" of 2017 Rescue Bots Rescan bots, which saw the release of the launcher trailer Optimus as just the cab on its own. (this might have been seen last month in NSW, but was not verified)
Meanwhile, the rarely seen Titans Return Seaspray and Cosmos wave, are appearing at a few more Toyworlds recently, so might continue to show up around the country before that line disappears completely here.
The rest of the Studio Series toys have now been found, at several Toyworlds in Victoria today.
Deluxes were for $35.
Voyagers for $49-50.
Leaders for $90.
(prices can vary among Toyworld stores)
Also note that the photo below is our first photo proof of the giant Rescue Bots Optimus Flip-Racer launcher trailer, which had an unverified sighting on another fansite back in December.
Some new toys found in the last week in Australia.
- POTP w2 Deluxe - a single sighting so far of Snarl at a BigW in Brisbane, so hopefully this means wave 2 is actually out here.
- POTP w2 Voyager (Elita-1 and Hungrrr) - found at a Kmart in Sydney.
- TF5 Movie w3 Deluxe (2nd Bumblebee, Crosshairs, Strafe) - found at a Toymate in Sydney, which should be getting their stock from Hasbro Australia like Toyworld.
- Rescue Bots "Nightwatch" Optimus (with 2 Minicons) - found at a Toyworld in Melbourne.
- Rescue Bots Flip Racer Blurr racetrack set - found at a ToysRUs in Brisbane.
- Rescue Bots Flip Racer w2 3-pack (Heatwave, Boulder, Quickshadow) - found at a ToysRUs in Brisbane.
- Rescue Bots Megabot Boulder - found at a Kmart in Brisbane.
And it looks like Transformers have returned to David Jones, after a 7-8 year hiatus. Don't expect much of a range, or competitive prices... but they can be used as a last resort if they are sitting on something that has disappeared everywhere else.

Sighted in the last 24 hours, a heap of BigW stores have been stocking all four of the Leader Class POTP toys for this week's toy sale (to be $68 during the sale), which includes the wave 2 Rodimus Unicronus and wave 3 Optimal Optimus.
Plus, Toyworlds in Brisbane have been seeing the wave 3 Legends toys Outback and Cindersaur.

Several HUGE sightings from today, and one from a week ago.
- POTP wave 3 Voyager Inferno found at a BigW in NSW.
- Studio Series wave 2 Voyager Brawl & Megatron found at a Toyworld in Victoria.
- POTP wave 2 Deluxe finally having a confirmed appearance at a BigW in Canberra.
And the big news, Cyberverse hitting Australia before the rest of the world, but since it was at a Victorian Toyworld, it might have been an accidental early release, as we've had some Movie toys in recent years being released early by accident.
Then again, these could be their official release, and we just got lucky with the toys... but not the prices, as the Toyworld prices were apparently not right, with them being way over their normal size-class price point.
Three sizes found - Scout, Warrior and 1-Step.
A surprise find at a ToysRUs in NSW today, with the first sighting of Masterpiece Barricade and Studio Series Thundercracker.
Considering that ToysRUs are now winding up operations in Australia, these toys must have been received, or bought, before the official notice was made of the business being closed up.
Now to see if they show up at all stores, or just the ones closest to their Sydney warehouse (because it would be the cheapest option while they are minimising costs now).
Found this week, the 3rd wave TF5 Leader Dragonstorm at Toyworlds in Victoria (and maybe other Toyworlds).
This was a toy that was not expected here, according to Hasbro Australia earlier this year, so it might have been sent here recently from China as excess stock they couldn't send anywhere else.
We also have the large sized "Authentic" figures showing up at Coles, for $20 each. The first wave has Bumblebee, Grimlock and Optimus.
