Just gimmick toys so far(Activators and Gobots - by christalcase at a Toyworld), before the May 14th/15th/16th release 'date', so we might see some mainline toys soon as well.
It's less than 2 weeks left, so not much longer now.

Found yesterday at Kmart in QLD by tallestblue - "Dark OF the Moon wave one of Deluxe, LEader Class and Voyagers along with the universe assortment battle base dealies."
And at BigW in QLD by niko milo - the small playsets

By Fatbot in NSW - 'Target parramatta will have wave 1 dotm toys on display by lunch time'
Which means all of the majors are now receiving their DotM stock, and some are putting it out as soon as they get it. So check the stores if you are keen.

Looks like sporadic sightings in most chains now (Kmart, BigW, Target, Toyworld), in any state, of the entire first release of Cyberverse and/or Mechtech (possibly covering first 2 waves).
There is still another week before stores should be releasing them, and TRU will be a chain that should be keeping to this (due to their special launch in Melbourne on the 14th). So for those trying to track down Movie toys early, be aware that sightings (and info copied into here) will be random, minimal and inconsistent in terms of stores and states and prices - the staff here will try to make as much sense of sightings as possible during this next week, until we know for sure what each store-chain are getting and pricing them.
Sometime next week I'll go around the stores to get a full list of prices and toynames between the stores and post up a comparison list here. Until then, please keep posting prices & toynames in the sightings section when ever possible.

Comparison price lists would be great. I get the feeling we're being hosed by some of the retail prices this week, but am hoping that there will be a catalogue sale to price match against once they're 'officially' released.
I don't mind paying a premium to get a few choice figures early though.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!

So when are the DOTM toys officially released?

I think you will find that Big W will have the cheapest prices upfront unless there is a crazy release sale. I recall for ROTF - no one had a big sale.Originally Posted by reillyd
TF DOTM Cyberverse set - eg Starscream Orbtial Assuault Carrier at Kmart was $29 and Big W was $23.
Moral of the story is to keep the receipt in the short to medium term so if you get ripped off you can nullify it.

I called Target Blacktown this morning and they told me that they have DOTM in their store room, but they're not going to shelve them until the embargo date of May 16. Apparently they got all kinds of big display things to go with it, including some fancy endcap display.
