Looks like Wave 5 DotM Deluxes (the last wave to hit America), may have snuck into Australia after all... but don't expect them to show up everywhere.
A Myer in NSW has been found to have them yesterday, for whatever their regular Deluxe Price is I'd imagine.
The wave consists of Air Raid (that new mould, green recon plane), Dark Steel (Decepticon redeco of Sideswipwe with new head), and Armor Topspin (grey redeco).

The fourth of four main size-classes for the launch of TFPrime has now been found in Australia. The Commander Class (bigger than Legion, smaller than Deluxe) has been found at Target (in NSW) for $18.
The first wave has Optimus, Megatron, Bulkhead and Starscream.Quote:

Saw the Starscream / Bumblebee / MECH value pack being put out on the shelves at Target... so it's not a Myer exclusive. However, no price in Target's system yet.
It should be at most stores, as it was a general release item for Australia (any store chain wanting it, will stock it)... Myer somehow got them out to stores first.
Hopefully BigW were one of the chains to get it, for better pricing.
Also found wave 8 at a couple other Toyworlds, which is the Glow-in-the-dark wave.

Note that there are only two in the wave - the back of the packaging has a third shown (the 4X4), which was never released.
These six Ironman TFs are $20 each, and it seems different Toyworlds have one set or the other, or even both, but not guaranteed to have both waves.
The Glow-in-the-dark ones are highly recommended, and are a great price.
It might seem like cashing in on the Avengers Movie, but the cheap pricing and being at only one store-chain, suggests cheap offloading by Hasbro America. If Hasbro really wanted to cash in on the Avengers Movie, they would have done an easy (and obvious) reissue case/wave of Hulk, Ironman, Captain America and Thor. (nothing is expected though)
Big Penny has sighted the first wave of Bot Shots single packs and launchers at a BigW in South Australia.
