Myer has twin pack OP and Grim, and other standard issue releases. All priced about the same as standard retail.
One question though, I thought Kre-O was going to be exclusive to TRU?
Some of the bigger build sets might be, but the TRU thing was more for America.
Was at Target in Queen Street yesterday, they had Beast Fire Predakings for $29, there were 2 left for anyone wanting them.
Aoe Leader class Bumble bee on the shelves at toyworld and kmart at Redbank. $89 at both.
Looks like a slight repaint of the dotm leader.
Has anyone sighted Dinobot sparkers or Wave 2 on the Gold Coast area?
I don't have much free time at the moment to do a coast-wide toy hunt.
Game Traders at Chermside Westfield have a couple Encore, statue and 3rd Party figures. Also, I'm sure YOTH Platinum MP-10 Optimus Prime is everywhere by now, but just to let you know, there's a tonne of them at Chermside Myer

Wave 2 Deluxes at ToysRUs Garden City (Slash, Strafe, Drift) (on sale for $24)
Wave 2 Construct-Bots Dinobots BigW (Slash, Scorn) ($19)
One-Step Mega Bumblebee at BigW ($68)
Three Kreo sets at TRU - Dinobot Chase ($15), Cell Block Breakout (on sale $24), Grimlock Street Attack (on sale $32).
No Kreo build-sets at BigW that I could find.
Looked like both stores had pretty much everything else from wave 1 (except Dino-Sparkers).
ToysRUs at Garden City had two cases of Kreo Microchangers, but I left with 2 full sets (for me and Ravagecat)... so there should be at least one full set left (at the front of the store).
BigW had a single empty case sitting on the shelf - if you want the "display case", grab it before a staffer throws it away.
TRU are slightly cheaper ($3.99 vs $4, saving a whole 12c if you buy a full set) so the BigW ones must have sold out by people assuming TRU would be more expensive.
TRU Pacific Fair has the Wave 1 figures only, and chock full of them plus the Titans. Since it's only a month till store closure, I.m thinking they might not get Wave 2 unless they're out the back at loading. Grr.
Garden City TRU only has a single Slash and Strafe left of their Wave 2 Deluxes.
According to Christalcase, there were several of each when they opened this morning.
Picked up the last slash from TRU garden city this morning, no other wave 2 deluxes left. Scanned up at $14.99. Not sure if that's the sale price or an error?
Big W at Runaway bay is chock full of Wave 1 toys (Deluxe, Power battlers, no dino sparkers), and can't fit any more stock in the new end cap display. Be awhile I guess before it has new stock.
Sunnybank Woolies are still sitting on Beast Hunters CMDR Shockwave, Insecticon and Starscream (about $18).
Target at Buranda Village had FoC Voyager Soundwave for $39, and some wave 1 AoE figures.
(no) sightings of Wave 2 AOE at Robina Big W and Kmart, all clogged with Wave 1's.
Had a browse around Chermside westfield today, the Mr Toys seemed to have a restock, transformers were packed in tight, but couldn't see anything particularly new looking.
However, on the way out I did see this at the little kiosk remote control toy place. (Linked pic because it's huge Two mechtech interchange superheroes! Bumblebee and Notptimus Prime There was another Bumblebee without the miniature figures, but didn't get a photo.
Also no price because no one was working there at the time.
And not just any KO sighting either, the Ultimate Collectors Edition versions too.
I love that the Optimus says he has Methtech. Just say no, m'kaaaay?
I know, I was rather impressed!
But but... It's so big! Got linked to a review of a nearly identical toy on another site, still want it.
Some pics of my nearby stores that had displays set up...
ToysRUs, with their usual front-of-the-store set-up, and their regular section.

And the three leaders at Kmart, showing the shiny small vs the big and boring. :p
http://ww.toycollectors.com.au/2014kmart1.jpg
Kmart at Hyperdome has the Wave 2 Voyagers (Hound & Galvatron).
Myer at Hyperdome was almost stripped of exclusives, with no Platinum 2-packs or First Editions, and just one YOTH Optimus and Gaia Unicron sets.
Also saw a number of places stocking Gen1 Kreo Customs instead of Movie Kreo Customs at a number of Coles, Woolies & a Toyworld. Just a pity that they weren't wave 2 Gen1, as they are hard to find globally.
Woolies Hyperdome did have some of that third wave of BotShots that didn't show up in America, but since one didn't scan and one had a discount label on it for $3.20, they put them all through for $3.20 (not sure why, as it wasn't even damaged).
All the stores in Rocky have yet to restock. Hopefully wave 2 and the exclusives will make their way up the coast soon.
Lawnton Toyworld/Mr Toys seems to have had a huge restock of Transformers, and if you want a legends class brown bumblebee, they have at least 15.
Found these at Big W (Westfield Shopping Centre, North Lakes)
http://oi60.tinypic.com/2z6unn6.jpg
They're about Scout/large Legends class size.
P.S. I forgot to check the price...
They are Commander size and they are $15.........$10 next week.;)Quote:

The rest of the palette had Wave 1 quick changers (Optimus, Grimlock, but I didn't see any other characters).
Grimlock seemed in shorter supply, but I suspect parents/kids have been looking for him specifically ($5 is a lot cheaper than $40, or $90 for the leader class!)
This is located in the center isle of the store, and not in the main toy section.
Nothing new in the main toy section, so none of the new commanders or any wave 2 toys. its chockers and no room for them.
I was dubious about how Grimlock would work, but its actually a really good deco and nice to have one at legion size. Stinger works well too, and looks quite nice. I didn't pick up a bumblebee, but he did have a slightly different deco with brigher side windows.
Toyworld - Stocking Wave 1 deluxes, Kreons and constructabots ,Evasion Optimus and Grimlock, Leader class Bumblebee and prime (yuck) as well as Leader Class Grimlock (pretty much THE Grimlock to get if you're going for the movie figures)
Myers - Same products as Toyworld, only 3 YOTH Optimus Prime left, get them while they're on special! $120
Target - Looks like they're original display area has been reduced to a small section in among everything, Starscream Constructa-bot reduced to $12
Big W - now stocking Beast Hunters- Predacon Rising two pack, AOE Legions (pretty disappointing) and seemed to have the whole range of Dino-constructa-bots, even the huge Dino-Fire Grimlock who looked pretty darn impressive. They're also stocking all the wave 1 leaders, Prime, Bee and Grim
Myers has 2 YotH Optimus Primes, I picked one up about 20 minutes after you posted, there was also the Grimlock and Optimus combo packs, and there was also 1 Gaia Unicron with Optimus Prime.
Target Riverlinks has 4 of the Silver Knight Optimus and Grimlock 2 packs. Prime looks deluxe scale, Grimlock is a G1 repaint of the Foc voyager mould. $59.00
Found Silver Knight Optimus Prime and FOC Grimlock 2 pack at North Lakes Target, so they're likely to be at every other Target now. Didn't take a photo, but this is what I'm talking about.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/tran...014/aoex17.jpg
Target - had nothing really, just the remains of the AOE wave 1's
Kmart - dont know where they found them but there are two more sets of RUINITION, the wreckers re-paint of FOC bruticus, they're $19 a piece so the whole guy is gonna cost you $95, but worth it if you didnt get Bruticus or bash all the molds,
Other than that they also had wave 2 Voyagers Hound and Galvatron
Found wave 2 Deluxes at Kmart today, Slash & Drift there however no sign of Strafe.
Kmart Helensvale Westfield, they have the Generations FOC Starscream, Ultra Magnus wave at front of shop for $15. Not really much else extra to report.
Big W Runaway Bay had the evening toy sale, and I was surprised by how quickly leigon class figures and the pwoer battlers were going, even while I was in the store.
Legion Commanders are in stock for Optimus /Predaking (20x I counted) but
zero of the advertised pictured Bombshock and Shockwave. Maybe there's another case out the back, or its only one type per store...? If anyone sees them on the GC, would you mind letting me know which store?
Also sighted the two radio-controlled cars (Bumblebee and Lockdown). They look really cool, but there so large - you'd really need a big area to drive them around, or run them on the road. Kids might get a bang out of them though.
I think if it had been drift, I would have bought one.
generations whirl,roadbuster,twin twist and another 1 at kmart here in townsville. $15 each.. bargain
Rocky:
K-Mart has FOC Whirl, and also pretty much all wave 3 generations figures. Couldn't see any other parts of the combiner. They also have two of Generations Drift, and one Strafe, neither of which I picked up because of broke.
Big W has the legions, Constructbots Grimlock, and all the random junk that's in the toy sale, but not much of real note.
Target has the Silver Knight 2-pack. I didn't really pay any attention to anything else because I was dashing to lay-by with it, but they did have more than one.
Hopefully K-Mart will restock their deluxes before the end of their toy sale (and after I get paid!).
Strathpine Toyworld have a few FOC deluxes still available. I saw Starscream, Kickback, Cliffjumper, Ultra Magnus, Jazz and Optimus Prime. They've also got a couple PRID voyager Optimus Primes and have the all the usual AoE wave 1 stuff.
