Saw a devastator just laying on the floor at Strathpine today.
Found the latest wave of RID Legion class at Big W Hervey Bay today; Very surprising since they haven't gotten any transformers stock in months. Picked up Thunderhoof, Windblade, Clampdown and Drift for my son. Considering getting another clampdown for myself, as the figure surprised me with how cool it really is, love the transformation.
Aspley kmart has latest CW legends, had 2 of each but I grabbed a shockwave and chopshop.
TRU still has crap all, g2 bee, sideswipe, streak, and insecticons pack... some stingers though.
Kmart Sunnybank had the new RID Legions (Windblad, Drift, Thunderhoof, Clampdown) for $9 each.

Ravagecat sent me a message to say that he found them at a nearby Woolies for $8.
Now if only Coles would get them in (at $7), but the nearby stores are clogged with Sideswipes and Fixits. :(
Kmart Garden City HAS heaps of CW legends of Shockwave, Pipes, Buzzsaw and Chop Shop. Also has the CW combaticon deluxes. Everywhere else has very little or nothing. Myer has 1X Voyager Cyclonus. Target has maybe 1 or 2 Leader Starscream.
Helensvale Kmart no stock (Rid legions and commanders) due to peg warming.
Helensvale WOOLWORTHS though had a single Rid legion (Drift) so the rest of the wave must have been and gone. Hopefully with Big W and now Woolworths stocking them, they might be a little easier to find,
Photo proof of them at Woolworths Sunnybank... but only Drift is still there of the new four as of today (I bought two and someone else bought one).Quote:

Some merchandise items spotted in the City by JustOwen (who sent me the photos to post up here).
On the left is the TFPrime Papercraft set that was apparently at Myer (but sold out by the time I knew about it to look for it), and on the right is the activity pack in an Optimus box that was also in Myer last year.
These were at the QBD bookstore in the Myer Centre (or mall). No idea yet of prices.

And over at a games store in the Myer Centre called Mindgame, a new Transformers Risk game that is Gen1 themed (instead of Movie themed like the 2007 edition).
So expensive though... the same price as the new Transformers Monopoly set at ToysRUs (the one released in the last year, eight years after the first edition).
http://toycollectors.com.au/2016oth02.jpg
(another two Transformers boardgames to buy for my collection of boardgames)
How about the 3d models from Gametraders?
Quick trip to aspley saw Kmart with Scattershots and Onslaught (more on that soon, none left now), along with a couple of combaticons (I took Brawl and Vortex) and sunstreaker. TRU finally got 2 of each combaticon deluxe (I took a Swindle and Blastoff, price matched kmart and used $10 voucher woo) and a Scattershot. Also first time I've gone through the checkouts at Aspley TRU, they have a boatload of Trypticon, MP10 and MP star saber, as well as some UW Superions (and G2 Bee, Sideswipe, Streak in the normal section).
As for the Onslaught, apologies to anyone if that was your gf/wife in kmart texting you and you thought you were going to get an Onslaught. While I was looking up Scattershots wave mate after seeing him, I looked to see which non combaticon was at the back of the peg (was sunstreaker) and accidentally kicked Onslaught sideways, who was hiding on the floor under the shelf (intentional or not) and one look was enough to make my decision of UW vs CW and as I turned a girl walked into the aisle looking at her phone, looked in my direction and halted, glanced to the TMNTs and then walked off. Didn't occur to me maybe she was after Onslaught for someone til I saw her walking to TRU.
Robina Big W has 2x Devestator, and RiD legions Windblade, etc
Akky82, I need an onslaught.... Just go to my local Kmart every day like I did til I found the combaticon limbs
Kmart Hyperdome had RID Warrior Thunderhoof and Quillfire for $29. No CW Onslaught or Scattershot unfortunately.
Oh I got it, I meant i think that girl was hiding it to get it, but I got it first. You saying you want me to keep an eye out? :-)Quote:

Coles Indro had a full box of RID Tiny Titans series 5.
Sigh... we missed wave 4. :(Quote:

Plenty of Onslaughts at aspley TRU (well 3 or 4).
Heaps of onslaught and scattershot at TRU garden city.
Woolies Sunnybank restocked their RID Legions during the week, as I found this there a few days after my February 6th posting of just Drift being left of the last Case.
I took the Windblade, but for those worried about it being short packed, it might be in the next wave with Ratchet and Blizzard Optimus... if our 7 toy cases are similar to the regular "American" 8 toy cases.
(this first wave case is just missing a Clampdown from the "regular" case of 8 toys)
http://toycollectors.com.au/2016ww02.jpg
Kmart Maroochydore had 2 each of Onslaught & Scattorshot, plus a couple of Vortexes & Mirages + 1 Blast-off. Lots of Legends, plus some RiD like Megatronus. Nothing at Myer.
Coles has $4.90 on RiD Legions again until 1/03 and my local one has the new wave with Thunderhoof, Windblade etc (but doesn't scan so the assistant manually inputted the price):
http://i.imgur.com/ubTZcEY.jpg
Kmart has the Legends Shockwave wave for $19, one CW Scattorshot for $49.
Big W had the new RiD Minicons but nothing else.
Townsville kmat Onslaught scattershot one of each this morning few new rid figs not much else
Yesterday at Garden City with JustOwen...
Myer - completely stripped of anything newer than 4 months old. The staff said that they had restocked Saturday morning with several items, but said that they were so busy with the toy sale, the new items were all bought by the end of the day. :(
http://toycollectors.com.au/2016m02.jpg
ToysRUs had a few new items since a month ago, but still a very small selection, with Superman/Batman toys now filling half of their old shelf space.
New items were the RID 3-step black Grimlock, new Minicons, and Deployers. Plus they had a Combiner Wars Leader Megatron "Gen1" toy there as well, which wasn't there last time. Plus, 6 Scattershots, but no Onslaughts, which means they got in a few cases and only the Onslaughts were being bought.

BigW... still a major disappointment. Despite having the newest RID Legions, they still just had Minicons and a couple of Deployers.
http://toycollectors.com.au/2016bw02.jpg
Target - a bit of a restock since last time, but still not a huge range. They must have had the most recent RID Warriors in as there was a Thunderhoof, but none of the other new ones. There were also the new Deployers (Overload and blue Drift).
http://toycollectors.com.au/2016tg03.jpg
Kmart had the new Rescue Bots "Rescan" transforming bots (Medix and Boulder), plus a number of recent items.

And at a novelty shop that was selling "pop culture" items, I found this unlicensed backpack... complete with backwards writing. :p
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/blog/d103.jpg
It's a shame that it wasn't licensed, as I really liked the puffy detailing on Optimus.
CBD Myer combiner wars wave 6 deluxe class sighted. Wheeljack, Smokescreen, Hound and Trailbreaker.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2016/030101.jpg
Typical... just after a decent sale too that would have made them $22.50 each (if buying a pair).
Saw one each of CW Onslaught and Scattershot at K-mart Australia Fair.
Toowong Kmart had
CW
Chop Shop, Black Jack
2 Sky Lynx, 2 Onslaught and one Scattorshot
RID Legends Windblade, Drift... the crab car.
RID Warriors only one Jazz, (and some other characters)
Don't know if its a new feature or not, but BigW have on their online store a 'check stock option'. Devestator $198 is showing up as completely gone on the Gold Coast, but available at Beenleigh. Might help someone a trip, and you can enter your own postcode for more local options.
Thanks for the sighting! Was able to grab a Sky Lynx this morning on the way to work. Was only 1 of each there after I left.Quote:

I tried this. It didn't match the store stock at all.Quote:

Myer Maroochydore has the new deluxes (Wheeljack, Hound, Bluestreak, etc.) and Scattershot/Onslaught plus the Legends wave including Soundwave. They also had that clear G2 Prime on clearance from $299 to $209. There might have been a further reduction sign on the bin, but didn't look or notice.
This isn't a store I thought I'd be mentioning in sightings - Mrs Stug saw in Trade Secret Chermside Transformers G1 Risk for $35... Was only the one and I grabbed it. Other stores may have it if you're interested?

Oddly enough, it's been showing up in collectable stores (I've seen it at two in Brisbane), but not at major department stores (so far).Quote:

They also released a new version of Transformers Monopoly late last year as well, which I've only seen at ToysRUs for $60.
I'd like to get both eventually, to add to my collection of Transformers boardgames, but I'm waiting for a sale or go on clearance.
I have seen a few at Zing and Gametraders stores...Quote:

Reject Shop Sunnybank got in more of the AOE mini-plushies, for $4 each (Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock) - well worth buying if you can find them.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016rs01.jpg
Target Carindale - the RID DVD set with t-shirt for $46. Their range of Transformers toys was pretty dismal, with most being Hero Mashers.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016tg06.jpg/
BigW Carindale, with nothing new since my last visit... but they still had four Devastators.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2016bw03.jpg
ToysRUs Garden City, with a heap of new MP Sideswipes. And weirdly, several GEN-15 Leader Gen1 Megatrons that are new for this store. (we missed out on Ultra Magnus and Thundercracker here, and now stores are restocking wave 1)
