TRU Garden City has restocked the TRU exclusive legions, stacks of both packs but at 24 odd dollars each.
They have two of the Blaster/Perceptor packs (which look great in person) at $199. RK has it for $89 so I passed.

Garden City is avoidable unless you are after the Deployers on sale (be quick for Drift - only 2 left) or Clash RID toys at TRU (they now have heaps of the Legions and Megatronus in stock).
BigW - almost no toys at all... and no new GEN Legends.
Kmart - almost no toys at all... almost all were Rescue Bots.
Target - no Motormasters... and their large gimmick toy-sale Transformers are where they had their Easter eggs earlier in the year. (if you've ever been to that store before)
They *had* all 6 of the $5 Legends toys, but just after I took a photo of them (setting them up to look nice) a pair of mums came over and grabbed 2 sets of five of them for their boys. (they didn't see the lone Bumblebee at the back, but wanted both boys to get the same ones... and they were pretty impressed at it only costing $25 for each of them. So all that are left are Optimus, Grimlock, Bumblebee and Cliffjumper (the only surviving wave 3 Legend after they grabbed the only two Magnus and Skywarps).
I didn't bother with Myer.
(pics later when I get to them)
Big W Stafford had nothing new yesterday.
Kmart Aspley the same.
Toys R Us Aspley has the Insecticon packs, Blaster and Perceptor packs and RID Megatronus
Chermside (yesterday)
Nothing new at any stores except target has a lot of the $5 generations legends (bumblebee, cliffjumer, skywarp, optimus prime and ultra magnus). Target also has the first wave of RID minicon deployers (heaps of both).
Mt Ommaney (Today)
Nothing new at Big W or Kmart. Target has $5 legends
The Targets at both Morayfield and Maroochydore both had the RID deployers and every other usual thing. No Motormasters as yet but i am holding out for hope.
It's good to see that in the Mariana Trench that is the Australian Transformers market, there's still no deeper, darker crevice than Queensland.
Hahaha...I know right?
1 motor master at Strathpine. But it was a little strange, the sword was loose in box, and I think something else should have been in the upper left corner too I couldn't see. Didn't look like it was opened, but I passed anyway. :( Where is blackjack?

Thanks for not buying him :)
Now all I need is Hotspot.
That's great to know, and you're welcome. :) I originally found it behind the other guys up the end of the shelf, it was hiding, until I put it back at the front. :)
Plenty of g1 megatrons there too. Took me ages to actually find the tf's there as they weren't in the toy section. And on top of that it's a maze to get in the store with all that stuff out front too. All in all Target was just annoying today.
Likewise. I wandered around for ages before finding them. I was even more annoyed to find them at the entrance, having right buy them in the first place.
Were there any of the newercw legends at Strathpine?
Nope. Same old same.
Well for CW at least. I'm not interested in the latest cartoon so I don't pay attention to what figures are there for it, couldn't say what was there.
Target Springwood:
One Motormaster for $49, a few Legion Skywarp, Grimlock, Cliffjumper and Bumblebee for $5, six of each of the RiD Deployer Drift and Fracture, a few RiD Warrior Optimus and Drift for $23.
Big W Hyperdome:
Only Wave 1 CW Legends and some BH Deluxes.
Kmart Hyperdome:
Only Rescue Bots Elite Heatwave.
Toyworld Hyperdome:
Old stock not worth mentioning.
Myer Hyperdome:
A few Platinum Edition G2 Optimus, Leader Optimus/Grimlock and Voyager Optimus/Grimlock packs.
Was at Target Helensvale looking for legion magnus and skywarp with no luck, a few cliff jumpers and Grimlock but then spotted about 6 Motormaster's.
So anyone on the Gold Coast or Brissy happy to drive down the M1 there is some Menasor love.
Kmart is now selling women's sleeveless tops with a big silver Autobot logo on them I case anyone was interested in such things. Saw the, at Chermside today, $12.
Does tru at aspley or garden City currently have any mp toys? If so, how much?
Last I saw a week ago, Aspley had 1 or 2 MP Prowls for $100, and about 5 MP Blue Streaks for $130. Garden City can't recall, but they did have 1 MP Star Saber at the counters for a while.
Ahhh thanks. Was hoping to pick up a Bluestreak.
Just snagged the 4 regular CW Protectobots from Big W Brisbane CBD ($19 each), only one of the 3 was scanning though so think they are new. No sign of Hot Spot unfortunately. They had 1 full set after I snagged mine.
Wave 3 combiner wars Protectobots at Myer Garden City, yesterday.
Still no sign of combiner wars deluxe figures at Kmart Garden City as of today.
Also sighted at Browns Plains Kmart had 3X first aid protectobots on Wednesday.
Target Browns Plains had no Transformers, could not find a section
Big W Browns Plains had heaps of wave 1 combiner wars legends.
Did Myer have Hotspot or just the deluxes?
I feel like I know the answer, but a man can dream.
Target Sunshine Plaza Maroochydore has 3 Motormasters left. Consider this also as my acquisition post as well cause there was 4 😜.
It took a while to get to the photos I took back on the 24th, but here they are.... and are probably too out of date to be worth referring to.Quote:

Target...
The $5 Legends toys, with a single Bumblebee at the back (I didn't see it until after I took the photo)... and before I could reset them, a lady grabbed two of each of the front five, which meant no more Magnus and Skywarp.

This is why Hasbro tries to avoid equal box ratios of good and evil toys... Those Fractures are going to shelf-warm (there are two rows of each).

And over in the Seasonal section, the wall of yellow that people have been seeing at their Target stores for this toy sale.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015tg04.jpg
Both BigW and Kmart toy sections were almost completely empty, so wasn't worth photographing.
Mr Toys seem to be rolling out the wave 3 deluxes, and in good numbers. So far I've seen them in Riverlink and Redbank Plaza, so no reason to suspect they're not in other stores.
No sign of Hotspot.
Anyone know it Target Helensvale still has any Voyager Motormasters for sale?
I haven't been back since my other post. If they are, the section is away from the toys at the front and all the way to the left when you walk in.Quote:

Both Kmart and Toyworld at Chermside have protects to limbs in stock again
Saw a couple of wave 3's at bigw Strathpine just now. Couple of blades and, I can't remember. :( Anyway, they have them.
Found these today at the Mr Toys in the Brisbane CBD, I didn't even know these existed:

$29.99 each, and I reckon the hound looks alright.
That's a first, and Hasbro must have been sitting on them since June last year, as they sent me the Hound at that time.
Wow! And nice, I finally got a first :PQuote:

A case of the RID Legions have appeared at Coles Sunnybank, which includes Wave 3 (Fixit & Underbite), for $7 each.
Found CW Legends Groove, Warpath and Rodimus @ Big W Cairns today.
Only $19 each ... when did Legends start getting so damn expensive? :mad:
Got off work on time today, so committed myself a trip to Chermside.
Found zero transformers at all at target.
Found wave 3 deluxes at kmart. One rook, a few streetwise and groove I think there was.
All in all a waste of time. :(
Hmm think the TFs at Target are along the wall from the registers, where towels and bed sheets usually are.Quote:

Oh yea, with those kmart ones, I think it was first aid, not groove I saw.
Might give up retail here and just go bbts.
LPU were all the Protector Bots except Hot Spot from K-Mart at Garden City Brisbane....1 set left & a few randoms
