    They do at the Doncaster Vic TRU.
    It is ridiculous.

    I beg to differ, some do and some don't, the better stuff doesn't, bu tas soon as it's particularly crap like the scorponok or Ravage toys, they shelfwarm for ages, and I can't figure out why they insist on 8 repaints for such a crap toy.

    the twins have been shelfwarming too, but other things like ironhide, and most of the main cast don't last too long.
    at least not where I'm looking in chatwood, macquarie and campbletown

    I'd agree on certain, specific figures, but even those linger until they go on Sale, again, at least down here in The Land of The Shelf-Warmers!
    I tend to think though that a lot of the more popular characters, with the exception of BB, such as Bludgeon seemed to be available in rather limited quantities or maybe that was again down to location?

    True, but then I've been seeing a few bludgeons pop up here and there lately. unless they were the repaint, was there even a repaint of that one?

    Banzaitron - packaged in bot mode whereas Bludgeon was in alt mode

    (moved several topics at the request of a member, so that others knew about this BigW Generations status)

    Same status as New Zealand - we saw Waves 1, 3 and 5 ( 5 being Thunderwing, Skullgrin and WFC Cliffjumper). Otherwise no more Generations.

    Have to hope that I can find Blurr while here on holiday

    Movieverse figures don't shelf-warm in the Illawarra. Just because Uncle petes still has movie toys dating back to the preview toys doesn't mean....
    I mean I like having the opportunity to buy toys I didn't buy when they first came out...Wait a minute i do buy them when they first appear.

    I hate the Illawarra. This is why I don't go to stores anymore,
