You paid to have the guarantee of owning them AND the enjoyment of having them much earlier than relying on a end of line clearance sale.
We get you ;)

Got the 3 pack Botshots at BigW today. Cindersaur, Blitzwing, Kup etc.
Saw the AOE stuff on a roll cage at Kmart Midland last night. Were not on the shelf when I was there but you may be lucky at another Kmart.
Bought a Voyager Evasion Mode Optimus Prime last night @ K-Mart, Morley.
Well actually, I asked the staff member to open the box on the roll cage, looked at one, and decided to leave it at the self-checkout. $49? Nah.
Decided this morning that I might grab it, went back but only the deluxes (Crosshairs, Bumblebee, Scorn and Slug) and the easy change models were on shelf. Went back to the counter and it was still in the "back to floor" stock.
Opened it, transformed it, and it's missing a pin on the inside front of the truck cab. It's being returned, and I'm not rebuying it. I knew the figure was ugly, and the truck cab itself is nice, however the back "legs" of the cab are ugly as all hell.
Another movie, another pile of ugly, ugly, ugly toys.
Looks like the AoE figures are out a bit earlier than expected.
The shelves at Target and Kmart Joondalup are packed with AoE stuff.
Picked up Scorn, Slug, Grimlock and Evasion OP.
Target didn't have any voyagers out, however Kmart did. Target is charging $30 for the deluxes, they are scanning as construct-a-bots. Kmarts deluxes are $29.
Target's shelf this morning:

The day I fly back up to work AoE stuff starts hitting the shleves ... great ... I want dinobots, don't care bout the rest, just a full dinobot team for once.
Tuesday afternoon Kmart Morley had the AoE quick-changers, a deluxe Crossfire and titan Grimlocks and Optimus with no price tags on the shelves
Wednesday afternoon it had the price tags but no toys on the shelves.
:confused:
Maybe someone noticed the release date?
Kmart Armadale has AOE Dlxs though for some inexplicable reason they were out of Bumblebees... because that's what always happens right? Right? :P
You are lucky you can even find them in Perth. Been to 6 Kmarts, Targets, BigWs and have seen none. :confused:
KMart in Rockingham is stock-a-block with all the AOE wave1 kiddies.
I got SCORN today.
