BigW is a good place for getting Wave 3 Movie Legends for those who want to be first to get them. They are so new, they aren't even in the system yet. But very few are showing up in this first release to stores (don't panic though, as they should show up more frequently in the coming weeks).
And Wave 5 Deluxes (Arcee, Swerve, Scorponok) are being found this week as well, so should be more widespread in coming weeks.
Pity about the price markup - the expected retail price quoted at Toyfair was $150-155 - but could just be Toyworld's usual hefty pricing. It was said to be a direct import item, so we may not see it at any other 'cheaper' chain stores that get their stock through Hasbro AU.Quote:

As I mentioned a few days back in the SA Sightings, Dev was at Harbour Town Toyworld for the price you mentioned, so I think it could just be the greedy buggers in town and not Toyworld in general. And yes, I too was quite unimpressed... My wife was actually looking in her purse as I gazed goofy-like at the box, but I decided against it, cause even with a 10% discount card I have ($161.99), there are much better TF's I would rather get with that kind of cash. He is pure "zomg! It's the BIGGEST TF in the RotF line, WOWZZ!!!", but as a figure(s) and a representation, very "meh" imo...Quote:

Ahsoka Tano/Jedi Starfighter (Delta-7B), MagnaGuard/MagnaGuard Starfighter, Captain Rex/AT-TE , Obi-Wan Kenobi/Jedi Starfighter (Eta-2), Darth Vader/TIE Advanced Fighter, General Grievous/Grievous's Starfighter
They were all in the new red Clone Wars style
I was going to grab a Captain Rex, but not for $35 >.>
New Movie Scouts Ejector (the toaster) and Nightbeat (blue redeco of Dead End) have now been found in Oz.
I think these are the last of the Movie Scouts until the new moulds come out next year.
I found these weird torches at K-Mart for $15 each. The heads flip back and they are LED powered. Bumblebee just looks terrible but Cliffjumper doesn't look so bad, with proper articulated arms (at the shoulders at least):

ROTF Legends Wave 4 Skids, Sideways, Tankor and Recon Bumblebee sighted at a WA Myer today for $7.95 each~!

Cool - you can use them to Light your darkest hour!Quote:

Spotted Supreme Devastator at K-mart Casula for $149. Its not in the regular section but on a rear endcap. Looks better in person but still not enough for me to grab one.
I think it is the first sighting here? :confused:
I found Wave 3 Robot Heroes Chromia/Megatron and Ratchet/Barricade out in Penrith on Friday.
We saw those wave 3 RHs at BigW and Myer at todays Bris fanmeet, so they were certainly sent out to lot of stores really quickly.
I think this is a first, at least for QLD - Gravity Bots Skids and black Bumblebee, at BigW and TRU (Garden City).
Found these today at Target scanning for $29.99. I just took some pics since this was the first I saw them myself.

Pardon my cold hands..:D

And apart from that, they also have this TF pinball game which again is something new to me. If these are old news, just kindly ignore.
:)
Yep, those were expect, just not yet confirmed.

Be quick people! Kmart Toombul has 2 ROTF Scout Dirt Boss' with Limited Edition Gravity Bot and Reverse packaging...You heard it here first! :p

K-Mart Maroochydore (QLD) has 8 Human Alliance Bumblebee. However there is no pricetag on the shelf, when scanned used a pricecheck machine a message comes up saying there is no price and to check with a staff member, and when I tried to buy one it wouldn't scan at the register so I was told I couldn't buy it because it's not in the system. Then why are they one the shelves? Well done, K-Mart.
At Big W tonight I found this, a multilingual version of Animated Swindle.
I only noticed it because I saw a kid holding another Animated toy (unsure which) that stood out because of the unusual backing with the multiple figures shown.
Seems a little random. The Waspinators they had in stock were ordinary English only ones.

I thought it was odd to see at least a case of ANimated deluxes at BigW Garden City today (didn't look closer to notice the multi-lingual packaging). We must be the dumping ground of excess stock from Hasbro EU as well as Hasbro US...
Australia- The Can down under? lolQuote:

Deluxe sized Movie Thrust and Gears have been sighted in the last week (Kmart so far).
Yesterday - MP SKYWARP
Toyworld Launceston for $99
It's a pass for me unless they announce they're doing an MP Thundercracker to go with it.
Movie Skywarp and Ramjet $79ea at Myers CBD :eek:
I spotted the trilingual Animated packaging Paulbot reported at Big W last week.
Kinda cool, but I'm glad we get the US version with the bio's and whatnot.
ROTF 2pack Blowpipe and Sideways spotted at BigW
