Wouldn't surprise me, seems that may be happening to a few toyworlds. In fact the watergardens toyworld is closing today after having already cut back their hours recently.

Looks like Toyworld Southland has sold out of Megatron's, and Generations in total for now
Well I bought one. I looked at the cost of buying one from overseas, adding in the conversion rate and shipping fees, and it wouldnt come out too much cheaper (not to mention I'd have to order Armada Megs as well just to get him from BBTS they arrive or RK) and working retail in Aus I'll do what I can when possible to support smaller local stores. I can't afford to by everything I want locally (again because I work retail) but a once of figure like this, and the upcoming Ultra Magnus, sure I'll fork out a little extra. I'm probably not the only one.
Edit: I'm not trying to make that sound like an attack, just explaining my reasoning for spending the amount I did (and trying to justify it to myself)
Also, some people are willing to pay extra to be one of the first with a new toy... just see how some of those loose toys from the factory go for high prices if they are listed on ebay before they are found in stores.
Called pretty much every toy world store in victoria and no joy unfortunately, apparently some more megs are coming in soon though, but no definite dates.
Kmart will have them soon. It's pretty promising how quickly the CW stuff is selling from the limited release.
As long as we don't get stuck with the first wave. The Big W I visited on Saturday still has a centre aisle display full of wave 1 AOE deluxes and power battlers.
Unless the big stores over-order, I don't think that'll be a problem. The movie toys weren't that great, and the CW figures are much better overall (imp) - plus the whole combining gimmick thing means more will end up being bought as parents get nagged by their kids to complete the whole team.
