BigW is a good place for getting Wave 3 Movie Legends for those who want to be first to get them. They are so new, they aren't even in the system yet. But very few are showing up in this first release to stores (don't panic though, as they should show up more frequently in the coming weeks).
And Wave 5 Deluxes (Arcee, Swerve, Scorponok) are being found this week as well, so should be more widespread in coming weeks.
Pity about the price markup - the expected retail price quoted at Toyfair was $150-155 - but could just be Toyworld's usual hefty pricing. It was said to be a direct import item, so we may not see it at any other 'cheaper' chain stores that get their stock through Hasbro AU.Quote:

As I mentioned a few days back in the SA Sightings, Dev was at Harbour Town Toyworld for the price you mentioned, so I think it could just be the greedy buggers in town and not Toyworld in general. And yes, I too was quite unimpressed... My wife was actually looking in her purse as I gazed goofy-like at the box, but I decided against it, cause even with a 10% discount card I have ($161.99), there are much better TF's I would rather get with that kind of cash. He is pure "zomg! It's the BIGGEST TF in the RotF line, WOWZZ!!!", but as a figure(s) and a representation, very "meh" imo...Quote:

Ahsoka Tano/Jedi Starfighter (Delta-7B), MagnaGuard/MagnaGuard Starfighter, Captain Rex/AT-TE , Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jedi Starfighter (Eta-2), Darth Vader/TIE Advanced Fighter, General Grievous/Grievous's Starfighter
They were all in the new red Clone Wars style
I was going to grab a Captain Rex, but not for $35 >.>
New Movie Scouts Ejector (the toaster) and Nightbeat (blue redeco of Dead End) have now been found in Oz.
I think these are the last of the Movie Scouts until the new moulds come out next year.
