Generations Wave 4 Deluxe out in Australia

[Zommael]

It's weird that the leaders haven't appeared. Then again, has anywhere except Target and TRU actually carried the leaders? It might be that retailers are wary of the odd position leaders occupy between the smaller affordable and large Christmas-present sized toys, especially since the AOE leaders seemed to shelf-warm a bit.

My local Big W is terrible anyway, so it doesn't bother me too much.

They do? Only seen deluxe wave 2 put out once, that's it. Just legends now.

Don't forget wave 4 motormaster there too Griffin, it's a lighter more accurate colour version, more close to the g1 toy.

I know the hips have been fixed, but I haven't seen any comparison pics

AFAIK wave 2 and wave 4 Motormaster are exactly the same deco, just fixed hips and a new stamp according to tfwiki.

However, Wave 4 included a version of the figure that incorporated improved ratcheting joints, with the gears having their cogs shifted half a position, making the combined mode much more stable. The improved Wave 4 Motormasters have an embossed date code on the rear of the box starting with a 5, indicating a 2015 year of manufacture. A similar code can be found on the toy's left foot. These toys shipped with Battle Core Optimus Prime, which also included this update which was first found on the Unite Warriors version of Motormaster/Menasor.

According to pictures and bbts, wave 4 motormaster is a different shade.

Ahh pictures - never tell the truth unless both versions are side by side in the same shot...

toymate/uncle petes/toyworld (whatever that chain is called) stocks leaders, the tuggerah store near me has about 6 g1/armada Megatron's

Caseys toys is included in that list as well

Kmart and Myer may or may not stock them. I haven't payed any attention since the only Leader class figures are the Megatrons.

Other toy stores also stock the Megatrons.
