Wow. I'd have considered them at $100, but that is far too much. There really is no excuse there.

Big W Kawana has wave 2 CW Stunticons (I'm taking Air Raid). Some wave 1 scouts and RiD deludes too.
Hey Jay. Did you get my message that i sent to you a couple of weeks ago about Noosa having Air Raid? I'm heading to Kawana now, how much did you get Air Raid for?
I did, thank you. Just couldn't make it there. After sale price is $20.30.
The plain-pack Legends toys are still being restocked at grocery stores with Wave 2 (with Strafe, Megatron and Grimlock), as both Woolies and Coles at Sunnybank got in a new case.
That could mean they are popular enough for us to see wave 3 here (Ultra Magnus, Skywarp, Cliffjumper).
Big W Underwood/Kuraby had a CW Air Raid and Dead End for $20 and RiD Warrior Grimlock, Strongarm and Steeljaw for $20.
K-mart chermside finally has some CW, 1 of each deluxe and ablut 30-40 of each voyager... just sayin'
Btw if anyone was planning to head to Big W Strathpine for tomorrow's sale, dont bother, they literally only have 1 construct-bots Lockdown (with small dino), thats it for TFs
I think it was Ravagecat who mentioned the other day to me that the ToysRUs at Garden City had restocked with Stingers.
MP Star Saber is at Toys R US Garden City, though I couldn't find a price, they had about 4 I think, maybe 5. I'm guessing they're $300+
Target Rocky looks to have restocked. They now have wave 1 ARID warriors along with the rest. They did have a G1 Megs but i snapped it up.
Toys r us aspley had about 3 sets of reissue insecticons
Coles Runaway Bay has Robots in Disguise Legends Wave 2, including 2x Grimlock, 1x Sideswipe. I already had them so passed, but its good to see wave 2 on the shelf
At Woolworth Sunnybank this week arrived a box of Kreo and a box of Tiny Titans.
The Kreo is wave one from 2014 (wave 2 is the really rare set) for $4, while the Tiny Titans are wave 2 from this year.

The Clash of the Transformers 2-packs are NOT at Garden City TRU as of this afternoon.
(they are listed in their computer as Class of the Primes, which could be an error on their part)
They did have some MP Star Sabers and Reissue Insecticons on the regular shelves (all with their security devices roped up on them)... and still about 6 Stingers.
Was chatting with the guys at Macgregor My Toys, asking about Wave 2 Combiner Wars, they said August is what they're hearing, though when I mentioned Big W and Myer having Deluxes, they said it shouldn't be far off then.
Saturday...
Still no Clash 2-packs at TRU, but I was surprised to see that there was only one Insecticon 3-pack left after seeing 3 there the day before.
The box is so big, and since they are sealed by those security devices, people must be buying them thinking they are bigger.
I did end up buying the last of the Angry Birds Bumblebee Blast Launcher sets from Mr Toys Macgregor. They have a lot of first wave GEN & RID on the shelves.
Also found this at JB Hifi last Friday - the boxset of the first four Rescue Bots DVDs, for $16. (that's almost the same price as a single volume when they first get them in)
http://toycollectors.com.au/2015jb1.jpg
I was looking for Volume 6 (the first volume for Season 2), but they didn't have them in, nor did they appear to have any stock left in the system to order more in. It was as if they were already sold out nationwide, along with Volume 5.
That might sound great for the series to keep being released, but it isn't good if they have cut back the units so much that people won't be able to find anything after Volume 4.
Garden City Toys R Us have 2 MP Starsaber left at $299. Little too much to justify getting :(
ToysRUs at Garden City must have restocked their Insecticons, as they had three in stock again.
Nothing else new though... still no RID Clash 2-packs.
They still have about 6-7 Stingers.
Target didn't have anything new either... except the Angry Birds Bumblebee Blast set for $39 that was previously only at Toyworlds for $40 six months ago.
BigW was almost completely empty of Transformers, which is odd that stores are letting themselves run down of stock, despite RID being new and the popularity of Generations.
The latest volume of Rescue Bots DVD (S2 V2 - Space Bots) was at Target for $13, which was officially released yesterday.
Cairns Toys R Us now has RID clash packs
how much were they?, in Vic they are $25Quote:

They were $25, I impulsed by for the Megatronus. Great little figure just disappointing lack of knee articulation.
I'll wait for the normal underbite release though thats for sure.
Flying to Gold Coast again in a few months time (I love visiting this place so much lol) Was wondering if anyone knows a good place to get decently priced G1s TFs there? Any help will be appreciated! Thks!
Target Rocky had Dead End and Brakedown today. Thought it was a bit strange as there was no sign of the rest of the wave and someone had put a Marvel Legends Hawkeye behind them, so not sure if it was "real" stock or a dodgy return someone had done from Big W.
Was at Myer CBD on Sunday, they had 3 sets of Wave 2 CW Deluxes, picked up a full set, very nice to have a full Superion now. $25 each.
Damn, couldn't find them when I was there on Saturday...
Picked up wave 2 of Combiner Wars deluxes at Myer Robina today.
Saw RID Mega Optimus in K-Mart Rocky today. It looks good, but not the $69 they were asking for good.
Anyone seen a autobots united 5 pack around and how much the price was?
Kreh80, your best chance is to check Myer, and I think they still have their toy sale on, so try around there. If they don't you'll probably have to go online for it.
Thanks, called myer today and they're helping out.
CW Devastator sold out this morning at both Big W Garden City and Big W Underwood. Garden City says they have six more incoming but two were already on hold.
I've put one on hold for the next shipment at Garden City but have since gotten one, if you want the hold, PM me and I'll give you the details.
That's funny, when I spoke to them just now the person assured me they hadn't received any what so ever, and when I asked if it was possible to put a future one on hold was flatly told no.
I also spoke to Redbank, who at the time claimed to have one left but the person didn't sound especially convincing (and at first had no idea what I was talking about) and was again told putting one on hold was impossible as it was a catalogue item. Mt Ommaney said they hadn't received their shipment, and didn't know when they would.
This is a shambles, but I suppose I shouldn't have expected much from Big W. They've been a bit crap about toys lately, Transformers especially.
Weird. I was there at 8:10am this morning and the lady told me that they had six this morning in her trolley ready to be put out but three people came and bought them all.Quote:

I don't doubt that. There appears to be very little communication between staff members regarding this whole thing.
To add for those hunting; I changed my normal bus route to work this morning and got myself to the CBD store on opening. After searching, I was told they were not getting any in. (The assistant - who was seated at the front doors on a toy sale table, dressed as a minion and beside a sign, "ask for assistance" - must of thought I was going to launch into a rant because she quickly explained that it was stated that not all stores would get them but every suburban store in Brisbane would be). I just let her know that CBD wasn't listed - and as I spoke realised it's called Macarthur and was listed! :o - and 2 northside stores were as far as I could tell. She seemed genuinely surprised and apologetic and was certain that all stores were getting them but in the city.
Footnote to that, there was a large number of people (about 20 who seemed to be shopping together) asking for a number of items that weren't available (not just Devastator) - and I overhead their deliberations that they were heading to Brookside and expected to be there before it opened so I wouldn't hold hope of finding any sought after items there.
I'm not expecting to find one until later in the year given I won't get away from work to go anywhere else until this evening.
I'm going to attempt to put one on laybuy at a store this afternoon to secure any future stock, assuming I can't find one. Which I probably won't. Which hurts me deeply.
WENT to capalaba. SOLD OUT. carindale same. Garbage City same... So disappointed...
Still no catalogue Transformers at Garden City. I asked when they will get them in and they had no idea... which is disappointing that they weren't ready for the catalogue.
They did restock the RID Hero Mashers wave 1, which I was actually glad to see as they disappeared really fast in January, and they aren't being released in America.
ToysRUs today had the Mega Optimus and RID Clash Legion 2-packs, but sold out of Stingers again.
There was a single, slightly-crushed, MP Star Saber at the front registers if anyone wanted to get it for $240 with the 20% off voucher in the OZ news section of this site.
