This morning I went around to all of the Majors at Garden City (except DJs), with barcodes from packaging I already have (GEN Legends, GEN DLX, GEN Voy, RID Legion, RID Warrior, RID One-Step, RID TinyTitans - but not RID Hyperchange because it was too big to sneak around the stores to use their price scanners)... to see what prices were already in their computer systems.
The prices I got so far, has me pretty sure that the unusually cheap Toyworld prices may have been due to something like an early-bird discount on their first shipment of GEN toys just to get them out to market quickly (before the other stores get around to stocking them)... as the only time Toyworld are ever cheaper than other store-chains is when Hasbro sends them old stock on clearance.
Kmart had all but TinyTitans (and Leader pricing was supplied by one of the Deluxe Members).
GEN Legends - $19
GEN Deluxe - - $25
GEN Voyager - $49
GEN Leader - - $89
RID Legion - -- $9
RID Warrior - - $29
RID OS - - - - $19
RID TinyTitan - (not in system)
ToysRUs also had all but the TinyTitans in their system (according to their product scanner)
GEN Legends - $20
GEN Deluxe - - $30
GEN Voyager - $50
RID Legion - -- $8 (found in some stores already)
RID Warrior - - $30
RID OS - - - - $20
RID TinyTitan - (not in system)
Target only had Generations Legends in the system so far - $20.
Myer didn't have any in their computer systems yet (I had a staffer test them out, as they don't have price scanners in-store).
BigW didn't have any in their computer system yet either.
The Toyworld prices in the first post are from Sightings postings.
I didn't ask at David Jones, but will ask Hasbro at Toyfair if they have started stocking Transformers again yet.
Some store-chains may well be waiting until the March Toyfair in Melbourne before they stock the 2015 range... so if something is missing above, it doesn't mean yet that it isn't coming.
