Jetwing Optimus at Garden City Big W for $149 (in the clothing section on the far right of store), about 11 left now.

New DOTM Speed Stars at Garden City TRU and Kmart Sunnybank

Kmart Sunnybank also had the Sideswipe and Bumblebee exclusive deluxes for the sale

---

Which breaks down to being:
Transcan Series (translucent) - Bumblebee, Mirage, Crumplezone.
Stealth Force Series (weapons) - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Autobot Topspin.
Beast Machines Series (animal paint apps) - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee.
Night Attack Series (mostly black) - Optimus Prime, Crumplezone, Bumblebee.
Metal Heroes (re-release) - Optimus Prime

Back of packaging lists 2 more Stealth Force Vehicles (Leadfoot & Roadbuster) and 1 more Beast Machines Vehicle (Lockdown), which may have already been bought, or are released in wave 2 with other themed series vehicles. Metal Heroes packaging also listed first four figures of 8, which are the same as the last 8 released last year.

Another option for Jetwing Primes, but wait for their sale later this month.

Jetwing Prime spotted at TRU Liverpool and Bankstown, price of $169.99. Those subscribed to their email notifications will have received a voucher for 20% off full priced items this weekend which brings it down to $136.

just for info:

Singapore major retail stores has jetwing optimus at S$169.90 (which seems cheaper). Other private outlets are releasing it at S$150.00.

At ToysRUs Garden City, last week:
A huge kid's electric powered Bumblebee car for $300.
(if it had been produced by Hasbro instead of being a licensed item, it'd be the largest Transformers "toy" ever)

At BigW Garden City, a day before the sale - 12 Jetwing Optimus toys in a pile.

Well then we're getting a good deal then. :)

Just saw in the First Sightings thread the note about Ratchet and Starscream. I spotted them at Target the other day but didn't know they weren't already spotted.

Also saw a Mirage toy for the first time today. Speedstars but getting closer.

Here's some pics. I did happen to snap the worst of the two pack, but they had about 12 of them.
