No RID Clash Of Transformers 3-steps in VIC stores either (I've been to 4 stores). Don't know if it's a Hasbro supply problem with their warehouse issues or the toys have been sold out weeks ago or TRU just aren't putting them on the shelves.Quote:

It also looks like they got in a new case of RID Legions, but half of them are Fixit, while the other half are Sideswipe, with one Steeljaw.
Some of those would be left over from the previous case, but having almost all being Fixit and Sideswipe seemed odd.
Woolies have their Tiny Titans on sale until the 27th of October ($3.70 from $5), but the Sunnybank store only had wave 2.

Kmart Sunnybank on Tuesday - the fifth wave of RID Legions (Ultra Magnus & black Strongarm)... and just like BigW at Garden City, there was no black Bumblebees (it was a case-mate at Kmart Garden City).
Also new is the Rescue Bots vehicles for $25...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km09.jpg
And in the clothing section, heaps of these Autobot t-shirts with their large range of 80s themed t-shirts... for $12.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km08.jpg
Is it just me or does the Autobot t-shirt look cheap & sad. Not very inspiring.
Harbour Town Mcdonalds has started the RiD Happy Meal Promotion.
This week is Grimlock :) :)
Kmart Aspley had one CW HotSpot, which I took and held onto tightly.
TRU there had MP Sideswipe, Bluestreak, G2 Bumblebee, Prime and Starsaber and the Insecticon three pack, all with their absurd prices.
At least the boxes are nice to look at.
The Autobot shirts are actually cool, I bought one a couple of weeks ago at Chermside. Been wearing it heaps, nice and comfy.
One RID warrior Sideswipe and Drift at Mt Ommaney Kmart.
CW wave 4 deluxes (Mirage, Prowl, Ironhide and Sunstreaker) at Indro and Mt Ommaney Kmart.
No RID Jazzes though. Boo.
Brisbane CBD Myer has CW Hot Spot x 7, CW Cyclonus x 8 and a wave of the little CW dudes: Rodimus, Groove, Black Jack etc.
Also has CW Prowl, Iron Hide, Sunstreaker and Mirage (all x 3 or 4 each)
Happy hunting!
This is a little late, having been spotted on the weekend: there was 1 Hot Spot left at Myer Chermside late Sunday (after I grabbed one) and 2 Cyclonuses (or is that Cyclonii? :confused:) Myer Mitchelton must have had Hot Spots at some point but only 2 Cyclonuses there too. Both Myers had Prowl, Ironhide, Mirage and Sunstreaker too.
Kmarts at Arana Hills and Toombul seem to have recently restocked with first wave of CW voyagers and third wave of deluxes. Arana Hills may have had 3 or 4 of each!
Picked up Combiner wars, Sunstreaker, Mirage, Ironhide from Garden city Kmart. Should of visited Myer I might of save $5 :o still hunting prowl.
Kmart Chermside had a single CW Prowl this afternoon. I didn't get him cause wave 4 is no interest to me
Sunnybank Kmart with the newest RID Warriors ($29) and Legions ($9).

They also restocked their Rescue Bots transformable toys & 2-pack figurines (which are really old now). And just like Garden City, this store now has more Rescue Bots toys than any other Transformers toys.
Mp Convoy at Toys R Us Cairns for the cheap price of $400
Toys R Us Mount Gravatt Garden City, has several MP Sideswipes for $130 each
Wave 4 CW deluxes at kmart toowong, 2 each but 1 prowl. Plenty of legends cracker, rodimus, groove, blackjack and a warpath.
TRU aspley has a few each of MP star saber, convoy, bluestreak, 6+ sideswipe, 8+ g2 bumblebee, a few superions (omg still cant believe that price), few wave 3 deluxes, armada megs, some insecticons i think (i forget now, maybe blaster/perceptor).
http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/...e24ac8e63b.jpg
edit - wife went ape$#@! when she saw the price of Superion, knowing that I have one on my shelf and she sees the box all the time in the cupboard. Took some explaining and showing her an online store price...
Edit 2 - it is 2 sets of insecticons, there's also 2 jetfires
The two Brisbane stores couldn't be any more different.Quote:

Stupid ToysRUs with their head office deciding what the stores get.
:rolleyes::mad::(
Kmart Capalaba has Gold Grimlock RID and a whole lotta legends combined wars figs.. Eg. Blackjack, Rodimus, Groove... Has Protectobot limbs... Nothing else worth noting
Sunnybank Kmart got in the new RID 3-steps and Warriors like down south.
The 3-steps were all there (2 Sideswipe, 1 Steeljaw, 1 black Bumblebee), but the Warriors had already been raided, as there were only three of the eight left (Fracture, Optimus, Bumblebee).
A full set of four and the other Megatronus were already gone.
They are at the full price of $29, so I didn't get any of them.
Kmart Sunnybank and Garden City in the last few days, received the new 2016 RID Warriors, 2015 3-steps and 2015 one-steps. Fracture and Megatronus are both already gone from both stores. The redeco Bumblebee & Optimus were still at both stores this morning.
Some recent photos from the stores.
Kmart Sunnybank - 18th November.

Kmart Sunnybank - 24th November... new additions.

(Fracture is no longer there as of today ;) )
Kmart Garden City - 19th November... lots of empty pegs and shelf spots.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km15.jpg
Kmart Garden City - 26th November (today).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km18.jpg
They had the new RID Warriors, but both Fractures were already gone, as was one of the Megatronus toys. I bought the Megatronus (and the Bee & Op), leaving just the redecos there now.
Empty spots from last week were now filled with RID One-Steps, and a lot of shelf tags covered up due to supplier issues. (if they were discontinued they would remove the tags)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km19.jpg
Target Garden City - 19th November... with almost nothing now. (I don't even bother checking Target and BigW there much anymore, even though I am in the shopping centre.)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015tg05.jpg
ToysRUs Garden City - 19th November... showing some of the new MP Lambor/Sideswipe toys.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015tru10.jpg
Garden City Kmart also had new cartoon boxsets for RID and Rescue Bots.
Complete season one of Rescue Bots (all 5 volumes - not just 4 like in the JB Hifi boxset) - $13! Yes... $13. Cheaper than a single full-priced volume. It would cost $50-100 to buy the five individual volumes, but right now in Kmart, you can get it all for just $13.
(there were two shelf tags for these with the same product details and barcode, but one had $16 on it - the box scans up for $13 though, but even $16 is amazingly cheap)
Collectors moneybox tin Rescue Bots (first 4 volumes - like the JB Hifi boxset) - $20.
That's $4 more than the JB 4-volume boxset, but these ones come in a very nice looking metal moneybox tin.
Complete Season One of Robots In Disguise with bonus Pop Vinyl Optimus - $49.
The JB Hifi "exclusive" boxset has no bonus items and it was $49 as well.
Kmart certainly got some great deals from Beyond Entertainment on these.
At least it should boost sales enough to see every episode of RID & RB released for us to collect (hopefully).

That RID set looks nice. I hate those Pop Vinyl things in general but that's one that I do like (and I'm a sucker for any sort of free toy).
I didn't see that at KMart Rocky today, but they had the newest wave of RID Warriors, CW Prowl, and CW Ironhide. It's the first time I've seen Prowl and he did look good... but probably not good enough for me to blow the money on.
Garden City Myer has stock of W4 Deluxes and both Hotspot and Cyclonus.
Anyone looking to buy this Megatron toy at Garden City ToysRUs, ask the staff first if you can open it to see if the missile is inside, as it looks to be a returned toy and the missile is not visible or in the launcher.
If you don't care about the missile, ask if it can be discounted if the missile is definitely not inside.

The Reject Shop in Brisbane CBD HAD Leader Jetfire for $20.
They had 4, as soon as I grabbed one (hidden away on a top shelf), another guy asked where I found it and grabbed the last 3...so guess I was lucky.
Found this guy by chance so don't know if it is widely known that The Reject Shop has him for this price, but maybe other store locations might have stock?
That's a sweet deal! as soon as I read your post I went straight to a Reject shop. Might have to ask as they may not be out on the shelf yet.Quote:

I hope so too as my mind went straight to scalper as well :(Quote:

The CBD store DID HAVE much to my delight :) Later waves movie battlers Vehicon, Junkheap, Galvatron, Black Camaro BB, Snarl, Lockdown etc.
This store now only has left a lot of the wave one power battlers plus one or two snarl, lockdown, grimlock etc. from what I saw after taking my haul :D
I know they are bay-formers and I didn't initially pick them up because of price but for $9 each, they definitely worth it now IMO :cool:
The reject shop also has the large TF4 Movie Grimlock construct bots set for $20
Any one after the later waves of power battlers, it would be worth going around to a few stores to try and pick them up.
Kmart Hyperdome still had at least one of all of the new Warriors for $20.
All other stores in the center are dud :(.
Checked out the Reject Shop in Stocklands Rocky, looking for Jetfire. No sign of him as yet but I'll check again next week. They did have a large number of ConstructBots, including the big Grimlock (which I picked up) the newer movie power attackers, and wave 3 of Beast Hunters (the one that only saw limited release at Target, so if anyone is still after them check your local Reject Shop).
Big W had a fat lot of nothing, as usual. And they wonder why they're not making money.
No Jetfire here at Reject shop Hervey Bay, But as a few others have mentioned, Lots of construct-bots Grimlock, and the power battlers, so I picked up Galvatron, Vehicon, Optimus, Drift and Lockdown for my son. Asked the staff about Jetfire and said they hadn't received any yet, but have more hasbro toy stock coming in the lead up to xmas, so i'll have to keep checking back I think.
Good thing I passed on Jetfire the last time I was at TRU sunshine plaza - not paying $80 when I already have Thundercracker and Starscream in the same mold.
No Jetfire at Kawana or Currimundi. All the other figures peeps have been seeing. Will continue to look around for the other stores on the Sunny Coast.
Saw the Platinum Edition Dinobots today at Toys R Us for $250.
went back to Reject Shop Hervey Bay today and found the staff stacking Jetfires on the shelf :) Grabbed two straight out of the case, one for me & another for my son, So it would seem the regional stores are starting to get them now. Keep your eyes peeled!
Reject Shop at Sunnybank didn't appear to have any Jetfires that I could see, but had heaps of the big Constructbots Grimlock ($20), a large assortment of the Movie Power Battlers ($9), and Hero Mashers electronic ($20).
Reject Shop Southport Park has the Power Battlers discounted for $9, only one Junkheap left, and two Vehicons. Also Beast Hunters for $6. No jet fire, no shelf tags for him either.
Reject Shop Nerang has more Power Battlers, heaps of Vehicons and Junkheap. I also noticed TWO types of lockdown. cOnstuctibots for $20. Also in the toy section plus he's, two types of plush swords with electronic sods. Batteries are very weak though. One was Grimlocks I think, or at least Grim colors, and one in Optimus Red and Blue. I'd never seen them before, but maybe they were common and Id just never noticed them. No jet fire, no shelf tags for him.
Reject Burligh Stocklands said they didn't have him on the phone, or a shelf tag. Ditto for Reject Tweed Heads South. Take their word with a grain of salt though.
A couple weeks ago I noticed that Coles Sunnybank got in a third box of the Tiny Titans, but it was wave 2 (the first two boxes were wave 3 - which is really weird for going backwards).
Looks like people are buying these things at $5 each... or stealing them.
Tonight at Woolies Sunnybank, they had two boxes of the Tiny Titans $5 (one is wave 2, one is wave 3), along with the wave 4 RID one-steps $18 (black Bumblebee & grey Sipe), plus RID Legions $8 (looks like wave 1).
I'll add the photo I took later when I get it off my phone.

Today at Garden City.
The Christmas shopping season must be to blame, but only a week after I was last at Garden City, both ToysRUs and Kmart had been stripped of Transformers... while other toylines nearby were still heavily stocked.
This was ToysRUs... I've never seen it like this before, with almost nothing left.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015tru11.jpg
And Kmart... with half the pegs empty, and all the shelves below it filled with Dragon toys, but the Transformers shelf-tags are still left there for whenever they get a restock.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km25.jpg
This was Kmart on November 26th...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015km18.jpg
Even Myer was looking emptier than usual, as most of the space was empty when I got there, but I moved some toys around so that the photo shows what was in stock.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015m02.jpg
On the other hand, Target is having a 20% off Toys sale, and the only thing missing since last week were the $5 Legends.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2015tg06.jpg
As for what WAS in stock at Garden City, ToysRUs had some new Devastators for $300, and Platinum Trypticon for $300 (it's still on the website for $400).
They also had MP Lambor/Sideswipe, on sale for VIP cardholders.

Reject Shop had about half the stock of the Sunnybank store, and no Jetfires.
