Combiner Legions have started showing up at Coles.
RiD. I have seen Prime, Grimlock, Starscream, and the frog.
BigW CBD, Boxing Day - a bit late posting this, but they didn't have anything noteworthy.

New Years Eve at Garden City... it didn't look like any restocking had occurred since Christmas Eve when I was there last, so only one toy photo was taken - ToysRUs, who's Rescue Bots section was now looking as anaemic as their main Transformers section, with barely half a dozen toys. This is their entire Rescue Bots stock.

The JB Hifi had the latest RID cartoon DVD (Season 2 Volume 1), for the full price of $15 or $16. (this is the back cover, to show which episodes are on it)

At the Macgregor Toyworld down the road, they had the Wave 3 Generations Legends, but as expected, there were no Gnaws left... not that I was going to spend $23 for their Legends, but obviously someone who was army-building (or scalping) did.
They also had the new Rescue Bots Elite Heatwave toy as well.

Meanwhile, Sunnybank Woolworths have just stocked their fourth case of the RID Legends that has Springload and Starscream. This wave seems to be very popular, disappearing very quickly at this store and at the Coles across the road.

Have there been any sightings of the new RID legions on the Gold Coast? I'm really after a Springload at the moment.
I saw quite a few before Christmas Bowser at local Woolworths, but likely gone now. Some Coles apparently too
Anyone know anywhere is Brisbane area that still have stock of Combiner Wars Devastator? Thanks in advance.
Nabbed a Springload from Woolworths Australia Fair. They still got another one left alongside Starscream and Grimlock. Aus Fair Mr Toys also had a one each of legends Gnaw and Bumblebee. No Kickback sadly.
Glad to hear you finally tracked down Springload (green frog) mate!
BigW Mt Ommaney had Gnaws, Bumblebees and Kickbacks yesterday.
2 x Gnaws at Carindale Big W.
Both Coles and Woolies at Sunnybank have restocked the RID Legions, with the Starscream and Springload wave.
And it looks like the Woolies got in two cases this time, when they usually just get in one... probably because they've been selling so well (it's like the fifth case of this wave there).
Oh, and it's 20% off Transformers at Coles until the 24th of January. Not as good as their usual 30% off, but still pretty good for these toys.

BIg W Pacific Fair now has full sets of Combiner Force legions too, though not at Coles sale price. There were a few looking for Greenfrog still I think.
No sighting of Titans Returns Commanders. Just a lonely Rewind
Combiner Force 1 Steps at Big W Garden City. Prime, Bee, Springload, Quillfire, and Drift.
Big W Pacific Fair got a new set of Wave 3 Titan Returns, but only Kickback and Bumblebee. I picked up Bumblebee but already had a Kickback. I think I'm going to give up on Gnaw and order the inevitable Takara release
Toowoomba sightings:
Kmart had Bumblebee, Gnaw and Kickback, plus one each of the RID Combiner Force One Step Changers.
Target had a case worth of Titan Returns Legends (3 x Bumblebee, 3 x Gnaw, 2 x Kickback), a case worth of the Wave 3 Deluxes (Hot Rod etc ...) and 3 each of the new RID Beeside and Primestrong combiners.
Finally some new stuff!
Helensvale Kmart has a Legends Kickback and one or two Bumblebees, as well as some of the RID Legions including Springload. Target only had two Bees left. No sign of Gnaw anywhere.
GNAW AT TOYWORLD LAWNTON.
Sure it was $23, but bugger it, got one. Left two behind @ about 12:00pm.
I saw them on Australia day while looking for their exclusive IDW comic... it was a bit of a surprise to see them, and their price (TRU was selling it for $250).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017z01.jpg
Exclusive cover to an IDW comic... for $10... not related to any other product, including this Dinobot set.
Well it's nice that they're trying, at least, with IDW.
I forgot to post yesterday, but Kmart Robina had a full set of TR Legion Commanders Wave 3 except for, you guessed it, Gnaw. Can't guarantee kickback and bumblebee will still be there by now, but I'm guessing Bubles will be the pegwarmer. NO sighting of Wave 3 Voyager/Leaders though :(
Saw three gnaws at Strathpine bigw this morning. Still no see an overboard head to match trigger happy though.
Target Helensvale got new RID Warriors in. They had the Combiner Force figures Starscream, Blastwave, Drift and Stormshot. I also saw Windblade, Power Surge Optimus and Scorponok which I think might be a first for us.
Kmart Indro had legends Bumblebee and Gnaw, 2 of each, at 8pm.
I really thought I had posted up these sightings photos, but I couldn't find them here, so mustn't have....
Not that there was much worth noting, so you didn't miss much.
These were taken on Australia Day, at Garden City.
ToysRUs - the Transformers range just keeps getting smaller.
They had the newest RID 1-steps, but I think they have cut back on stocking Transformers until they get rid of all those large Bumblebees, that take up more shelf space than all their other Transformers toys.

Myer - yes... this was their entire Transformers toy range at this store - 2 Fort Max toys and 3 Blasters.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017m01.jpg
Target - back in the cycle of reducing their Transformers stock. But like everyone else, they had in the newest RID 1-steps.

Zing - restocked the first(!) wave of Titans Return Deluxes, plus got in some cheap Platinum Edition Dinobot 5-packs (with Gen1 heads), as noted several posts back.

BigW - still sitting on a lot of the $5 Legends toys, but got in the new RID 3-steps (remoulded Optimus and Bumblebee).

I should be back over there tomorrow morning... so expect a sightings post in two weeks time. :p
Target Springwood restocked heaps, they had the crash combiners, Scorponok wave of RiD Warriors, the Wave 3 Titans Return Legends (3 of each in the wave), Wave 3 Titans Return Deluxes and the Springload wave of RiD Legions.
Pacific Fair Taget has a full set of TR Wave 3 Legends, deluxes, and a partial set of RiD Warriors. There wasn't room on the shelf, so maybe not all were put out. Couldn't see any Windblade, but there's sTarscream and Blastwave. I bought the IDW coloured Drift.
Oops... it may not be two weeks, but still a week for me to post this up. :o
Sunday 5th February at Garden City, while checking the McDonalds for their happy meal toys.
Target - Thanks to a tip-off by Ravagecat, they had the wave 3 TR Legends, with two Gnaws still on the shelf, plus the wave 3 Deluxe toys. They also must have had in the new wave of RID Warriors (with Blastwave and Stormshot), as there was a white Drift toy on the pegs. Also new were the RID Crash Combiners and the new 3-steps.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg03.jpg
BigW - nothing looked to be new, but the RID Minicons scanned in at $5, on clearance from $9.

ToysRUs - another week, another shrinking of their assortment of Transformers toys on the shelves...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tru03.jpg
I had one of the staff ask me if I needed help looking for anything when I was walking out of the store empty-handed... so I had my rant about their pathetic level of Transformers stock, and that their own head-office is to blame, because the individual stores can't order in product, even if it is a guaranteed sale by a customer request. :rolleyes:
A week later (today) and the stock had shrunk even further. :mad:
On the other hand, in their Playskool section, they had two new Transformers Rescue Bots toys come in... so new, that neither of them were scanning up today when I tried to buy them.
The main transforming bots had the latest wave come in, with Quickshadow (for $23 each, and a first sighting for Australia), and the redeco Elite Bot Heatwave, which was first found in Toyworld on Christmas Eve. I think the Morbot toy was released with Quickshadow, but I didn't see it (the shelves were a mess).

I haven't been keeping up with whats been sighted in Australia but I just want to point out that Big W has the Voyager TR wave with the triple changer Optimus and Megatron. I saw them at the one I work at last week.
Ok, now I'm really unsure how we are getting this stock. Just walked into work and the Broadside wave was put on the shelf last night. So start checking your local Big W's for that wave. 1 Broadside at Big W Gladstone ATM.
