NoSighting for Titans Returns Deluxes at Kmart Helensvale, Elanora and Robina. All had a tag that said Transformers Generations Deluxe Temporarily Out Of Stock. Which is something I haven't seen before - maybe holding the spot for future restock?
None of the new Deluxe TRs at Hyperdome Kmart and Myer, as of yesterday.
ToysRUs at Garden City had Leader Skyshadow and Movie Masks (Bumblebee and Megatron), as well as the non-cube Allspark Tech toys.
This was posted on the Ozformers facebook page on Sunday (13th), so I should post it here as well... even though it was the last one at this store.
Titans Return Deluxe Wave 6 (or wave 4 revision 2, as some are claiming) Slugslinger, found at Myer Brisbane CBD store by member Justowen, who sent in photo proof (and later out of packaging just to rub it in :p ).

Not a sighting per say but something to watch for.

The Home Consortium is going to reopen some old Masters as malls. The interesting bit is that they are including Toys R Us.
The two OLD locations are North Lakes and Tingalpa.
Last Saturday (12th August) at Garden City...
ToysRUs - had the new Movie voice-changer masks (Bumblebee, Megatron - $65), Allspark Tech non-cube toys ($35), Movie Leaders, heaps of wave 2 Voyagers, RID 1-step Heatseeker, Rescue Bots dragon Bumblebee ($50) and RB Flip Racer launchers ($30).

BigW - finally got in the Remote Control Sqweeks, and they still had a few of the Movie 1-step 6-packs.

Kmart - I found a Movie poster... not sure if it has been posted up before. Didn't look for a price.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km49.jpg
Target - kid's Bumblebee shorts, which wasn't among the licensed clothing we saw before.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg24.jpg
Tonight at Sunnybank Kmart - still no new GEN Deluxe or Voyagers that others have been finding at other Kmarts, but did see the wave 3 RID Crash Combiners (Shocknado and Wildbreak). Not new, but new for this store.
And at the Brisbane show this year - the Transformers showbag had items that all had 2014 dates and branding on them, so this is three years old (as such, they no longer had t-shirt sizes above small and extra-small).
For $25 it had a t-shirt, socks, hat, sticker, drink cooler and deck of cards. (the deck of cards didn't have any special artwork on the face sides, and I got stuck with a small t-shirt which I'll have to give away... so not exactly value for money)

There didn't appear to be the usual unlicensed "Transformers" showbag this year, but I did see this remote control truck on offer with another showbag, with distinctively familiar colouring.

Photo proof of the Movie Legion wave 3 Dragonstorm (which comes with Hound) in Australia... found at Myer CBD store on Friday by member Justowen.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017m14.jpg
Saturday at Garden City with Justowen.
ToysRUS had the new RID 3-step wave 3 Soundwave & Energon Bumblebee.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tru49.jpg
Zing had the two Movie Leaders for $95, plus some of the wave 1 Deluxes and wave 2 Voyagers, with the licensed Super Deformed figures and Drink Coasters that were found at the Hyperdome Zing store.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017z17.jpg
Target had the wave 4 Deluxe Titans Return, which was new to this store, meaning three different waves are showing up this week for the first time at three different store-chains. (wave 4 at Target, wave 5 at Kmart, wave 6 at Myer).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg25.jpg
Kmart had the new Movie wave 3 Knight Armor Hound. (still no wave 5 TR Deluxe there yet)
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km50.jpg
And nearby at the Toyworld Macgregor, a heap of new items since I was last there a few weeks ago - RID Warriors (Bludgeon, Thermidor, Twinferno), Rescue Bots Flip Racer launchers ($30), Potato Head 2-pack Optimus & Grimlock ($30 - old stock from 2013), Rescue Bots Dragon Bumblebee ($60), and the new RID 3-step Soundwave and Energon Bumblebee.

And from Sunday, Sunnybank Hills Kmart had nothing new, while Sunnybank Hills BigW had the newest RID Warriors, but someone must have already bought the Bludgeon and Thermidor, leaving just two Twinfernos behind... which is the only one of the three that I already had. :(
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017bw34.jpg
The new Deluxe Generations and RID Warriors still haven't arrived at the Hyperdome Kmart, Myer and BigW. :(
Kmart did have the new Movie Legions (Hound & Dragonstorm) and Knight Armor (Hound).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km51.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km52.jpg
Myer had the Movie Leaders in for $90 each.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017m15.jpg
Hyperdome... TR Generations still not at Kmart or Myer yet, nor are the new RID Warriors at BigW either. :(
Myer did have the new RID Warriors (Bludgeon, Thermidor, Twinferno), for $30 - they refused to price-match BigW, so they are still there.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017m16.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017m17.jpg
BigW Kuraby - also didn't have the new RID Warriors. :(
They did have the wave 4 TR Deluxes, and RID 1-step Heatseeker.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017bw35.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017bw36.jpg
Saw Combiner Force Ultra Bee and Menasor at Toy World for $89,99 bit rich for my blood.
Today...
Logan Central Kmart - no new Generations. (did have DLX Topspin though, and the wave 3 Movie Legions)
Browns Plains Kmart - also had the new Movie Legions and Knight Armor Hound, plus the RID 1-step Heatseeker (no new Generations Deluxe :( ).
Browns Plains Target - had the new RID Legion Heatseeker (four of them, but no Cyclonus... ???? :( and the RID Warrior wave that has Soundwave and Skywarp).
Browns Plains BigW - have the new RID Warriors, but only Twinfernos left (like the Calamvale store), plus the 3-step Soundwave and Steeljaw.
Browns Plains Zing - Movie Leaders, Tiny Changers, and TR Voyager Megatron... plus a really nice 4-pack of drinking glasses for $25.
This is why I prefer online shopping now... so many hours and litres of petrol wasted in the last two weeks looking for the Generations Deluxes and RID Warriors, at over a dozen different stores in several suburbs... for pretty much nothing to show for it. :(
Robin Big W had the Bludgeon wave of RiD, but only one so I grabbed him. Saw Blue Bisk, and Twinferno there as well. Oh and either a 1 step or 3 step Soundwave (big figure not the little one) and Bumblebee. Bumbles I had seen, but not he Soundwave before
Downstairs at Zing, they have TLK Leader Megatron for $95. Ouch!
Still no new Deluxe Generations at Kmart Sunnybank (or they've been and gone really fast).
Found wave 5 Titans Return Deluxes at Kmart Mt Ommaney. A couple of doubles so perhaps fresh case?
Are we ever getting wave 2 TLR? Starting to think it'll be worth the extra in postage from overseas!
Nothing at Toowong and Chermside. Bought the last 2 sets of wave 5 Deluxe from Mt Ommaney
For him and me... in case anyone was wondering, he's not scalping them. :)Quote:

Any sightings in CQ or further north of Twin Twist? Only character I'm chasing from this set.
Did some recon today. Cannon Hill Kmart. Had a Twin Twist. Just about all the TR Deluxes were gone.
Interestingly they had a movie legion Drift. Almost pretty enough to make me buy him against my will. He is still there.
Garden City tonight - aside from Target having the second wave of Movie 1-steps (Megatron, Berzerker and Grimlock), ToysRUs had the first wave of Allspark Tech Starter Packs (Optimus and Shadow Spark Optimus), for $70 each.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/news/2017/083101.jpg
It doesn't look like they are getting in Infernocus. :(
Kmart Sunnybank - 1 whole fresh case of TR Deluxes with 3 Slugslingers... only one left now, with one for me and Ravagecat.
And they are off and racing.... :p
Some photos from the last week.
Logan Central Kmart - the four most recent Rescue Bots Minicons/Friends to be released in Australia (before Sequoia and Silverback).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km53.jpg
At Browns Plains Target - the RID Warrior wave that has Soundwave, Blurr and Skywarp.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg26.jpg
Browns Plains Zing - had a mini-statue (about Deluxe sized) Optimus for $428!
Plus a 4-pack of drinking glasses (actual glass).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017z18.jpg
.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017z19.jpg
Browns Plains BigW - Twinferno wave of RID Warriors (no Bludgeon or Thermidor though)... plus the 3-step wave of Soundwave and Steeljaw.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017bw37.jpg
Kmart Logan Hyperdome - movie poster for $12.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km54.jpg
Thursday night at Garden City - Target had the wave 2 Movie 1-steps.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg27.jpg
Today (Friday) at Sunnybank Kmart - Movie wave 2 Legion Drift. No Crosshairs or Megatron though, so maybe they were already gone, or Drift is packed with wave 3, or as a revision wave.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km55.jpg
Oh... and there was this Slugslinger too (as noted in my previous sightings post).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km56.jpg
Meanwhile at the Reject Shop at Sunnybank - RID Tiny Titans wave 6 (no price listed).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017rs03.jpg
Myer Robina has a new case of RiD Warriors (i.e. Bludgeon wave). I already have these so passed, but they might help a GC fan
For those who don't have these yet it may be worth paying the extra and grabbing them while you can...Quote:

When I asked him to clarify what that meant exactly he said they are like a clearance line while stocks last then they are unlikely to carry anymore unless the supplier (Hasbro) REFRESH the line.
This may explain why they were only $20 as Big W have had Special offer Clearance Transformers in the past. $10 Powercore combiners, $10 TF prime dlx. $5 Legions etc.
As I had predicted - as soon as I finally bought Slugslinger, they show up at the Logan Hyperdome Kmart, after checking there every 3-4 days for a few weeks.
There were two there today, for anyone who needs one.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017km57.jpg
Unfortunately, it might mean that the Misfire/Twintwist/Windblade wave has come and gone, as they were showing up at Kmarts a few weeks ago, but new Deluxes at Kmarts in the last week or so have been the Slugslinger wave.
There's an almost complete case of wave 5 Titan's Return Deluxes at Kmart Gladstone (I grabbed a Twin Twist everything else is still there). Sorry didn't pay attention to what else they had.
Kmart Indooroopilly had some TR Twin Twists, Misfire, Windblade and Wolfire.
They now have one less Twin Twist as I picked it up. They also had some Legends, Brawn etc.
Target Helensvale has some new stock in. I saw they had the Wave 3 Nitro and Scorn movie voyagers and the Titans Return Misfire, Windblade, Slugslinger and Twin Twist.
I also grabbed the only RID warrior Thermidor and Twinferno they had too while I was there.
Posted on the ozformers facebook page - ToysRUs have returned to the Gold Coast, but not at the same shopping centre as before.
They used to be at Pacific Fair, until the big reno about 4 years ago, but this new store is at Robina... and by the looks of the TRU map, some distance outside the massive Robina Town Centre shopping centre.
If they aren't inside the shopping centre, that will hurt them, because they won't get the impulsive and convenient walk-in traffic of people while they are at the shopping centre. Not only is Robina on the southern end of the Gold Coast (not as appealing to drive to, as say, Helensvale or Southport), and is at the western side of the Gold Coast (not as convenient for most GC residents to check too often), but for people who go to the Robina shopping centre, most may not want to then drive a couple blocks away just for a toystore (or walk if you are using public transport).
On the plus side (for me), it might reduce the competition at the Garden City store... :p
The store was bustling with traffic, but missing any of the tru exclusive figures like infernicus, megatron, etc. they did have slugs linger though
Today at Garden City...
Target didn't have the new Movie Voyagers, or anything else new.
Kmart had a single Twintwist and Misfire, but no Windblade.
ToysRUs had the RID Combiner teams, but nothing else new.
Today at Target Springwood - stopping on the way home from work, hoping to find Voyagers Nitro and Scorn, but didn't.
I did find the Titanmasters Shuffler and Repugnus I had been searching for, for many many weeks... and now find them after I finally got them (with some help from others).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg28.jpg
They also had the newest RID Legions, with Heatseeker and Cyclonus... but both Cyclonus toys went home with me (for me and JustOwen, in return for finding some toys for me recently).
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg29.jpg
The rest of the toys they had were mostly old waves of Movie and RID...
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg30.jpg
But at the front of the store, where they have their party supplies and confectionery, they had two rows of toys, that were nicely set up, as if they were just put out for a toy sale. At the back end (facing the wall), I found the Misfire wave of Titans Return Deluxes (two of each, minus one Windblade for Ravagecat)... again, like the Titanmasters, I find them after someone else had to find them for me.
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tg31.jpg
And at Toyworld Macgregor, some of this is probably new (they had both Voyager and Leader Movie Megatrons, and the RID 3-step Soundwave wave), but the thing I noticed that was definitely new (for them), was the large Movie Dragonstorm toy... for $159!
http://www.toycollectors.com.au/2017tw12.jpg
Kmart at indooropillyhas no more TR Windblades but Target had about 3.
Now I'm just looking for Octone and some SW stuff...
There are a pair of $208 Trypticon hiding at the Orion Big W in the toy clearance section
Did we get blitzwing anywhere?
It seems only WA so far... and that was a few weeks ago.
Target Springwood - still no Movie Voyagers.... but almost all of the Titans Return Deluxes from the Misfire wave are still there - only the two Windblades are gone.
I picked up the last Leader Megatron from Kmart Garden City (currently sale for $65), no other Leaders remaining. Sunnybank Kmart doesn't seem to have gotten their Leaders in yet.
I picked him up in Burpengary a few weeks back. Missed Octone though. He got bought before I could get back to the store.Quote:
