On the plus side, shelf labels have been popping up at Kmart stores as placeholders, so it's only a matter of time now. I suspect the other majors will follow suit shortly.

Mr Toys employs a quite frankly insane stocking policy in which no one actually knows what has been ordered and when itsits coming in. I actually called their head office today because I was so fed up with the lack of information and even they had no idea what was happening.
Mr Toys Toyworld Helensvale at least has it in their system, as when I asked about bot bots the staff looked it up, and asked me if I wanted the 5-pack or the singles (I hadn't volunteered those options, and I don't think they had a clue what a bot bot was).
I would think it passing strange for them to NOT get in Siege, unless they're just so clogged with bumblebee and Wave 1 Cyberverse crap. And they could probably get away with charging a premium (I'd grumble, but I'd pay) for beating the majors to stock them too. They might well come out after though and shelf-warm. It really shouldn't be this hard for people to buy their plastic crack.... grumble grumble grumble.
Checked out Kmart at Sunnybank Hills and Big W across the road at Calamvale today. No sighting.
In fact, both stores have exactly the same stock as they had when I checked in over a month ago. I guess that's my cue to start buying online!
Nothing new at Indro Kmart, target, coles or toyworld. Toyworld still had the ooshie calendar for $50
Still no new Studio Series at Kmart Sunnybank. They only have two SS toys, and they are both SS-03 Crowbar.
They did have new - wave 2 Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniter Nitro Dropkick and Blitzwing, and Rescue Bots VTOL Blades & Salvage.

Robina Target had a single Bumblebee Nitro Seties Blitzwing and Dropkick (gone), only Optimus left. My hunt is over, yours begins :)
Nothing at Garden City. Tried Big W, Target, Kmart and Myer.
Even went on a punt and tried David Jones just for the hell of it, and good lord I forgot what a pathetic toy section David Jones has! Even if I wasn't a toy collector, all it's good for is toddler stuff (and as a former DJs employee, I guarantee those exact toys can be found cheaper elsewhere)
Target Pacific Fair, Gold Coast has the new studio series deluxes ($34 each).
1x Clunker Bumblebee
2x Crankcase
