We are pretty much going to miss the rest of the TFPrime toys here, but one of the few that Hasbro got in before Beast Hunters toys arrived are the final wave of Legion toys (Fallback/Outback, Tailgate, Knockout), which have now been found at Woolworths (I think their price is about $7).
The recent Hasbro AUS updates claimed that the convertible second series Rescue Bots toys were not being released here, but may have just been a lack of knowledge of their own product descriptions, as the second wave (Boulder and Blades, with Optimus and Bumblebee, and probably Chase and Heatwave as well) have been found at Target, for $29 each.
I think that was the same price as the first series here. It is worth noting though, that the Rescue Bots robots didn't have a price increase in the last year, so remained at US$13.... while mainline Deluxe toys increased from US$12 to US$15. These used to be priced more because they were bigger toys, but now are cheaper in America. Not that it would be reflected here.
As with before, Rescue Bots are likely to only be stocked by a couple chains here.
Myer have ended up with the TRU exclusive Scanning Ironhide and Sideswipe from June 2011, for $30 each. (same price that TRU had them for)
The first of four Platinum Edition figures that are supposed to be coming to Australia for the mid-year toy sales, has arrived at Target - Ultra Magnus.
$79 (it might be discounted if it is still around for the July toy sale)
Target have got in pre-packed mixed Hasbro toy displays in stores, which includes...
Wave 1 Cmdr (Bulkhead, Optimus, Predaking)
Wave 3 Deluxe (Ratchet, Dreadwing, Skystalker)
AND
Wave 1 Voyager GEN (Soundwave/Soundblaster)
Some earlier wave Deluxe figures may be in there as well, as I can see Bumblebee in the photo below.
Wave 2 of Beast Hunter Legions have been found at Woolworths ($7), so should start showing up elsewhere soon as well.
