Titans Return toys arriving in Australia

[Batfan007]

Will people post sightings of Titans Returns in OZ stores in this thread, or should I go ahead and start a new one?

Saved me a lot of fuel last time getting a tip from someone on here about the only Kmart around that actually had CW Bruticus/Combaticons.

Would be great do the same with this TR line and not waste fuel looking for over 3 months and finding nothing like I did with the late releases in the CW line. The local stores that got them previously I regularly went to had all decided not to stock the later waves, regardless of what their catalogues said. So I didn't find any combaticons or sky lynch stuff till like 3 months after they were released....and everybody had sold theirs except for a couple of stores about an hours drive from where I live.

I am sure that they will be posted in the Sightings Thread for each state

The previous Titans Return toys were an advance release so when they get their general release here it will be a news posting... which people can post their first sightings there if they want but since it is a whole line and not a single exclusive toy, we wont be having an ongoing sightings topic.

Ugh, so I have to follow like more than FIVE different threads for ONE toy line?

There's the First Sightings for Australia thread.

Patience is a virtue.

Why? If its that hard just focus on the sighting for your state...

That's true... unless you travel around the country every week, the other state's sightings would only be useful to know if they've appeared in a new store chain. And it's not like we get hundreds of posts in there each day. Just go to the sightings section, click on the "view next post" tab on any topic that has a new posts since you were last viewing it, and the one or two new posts in the last few days will come up.
If you are really keen to find a certain toy or toyline, visiting every day or two will only take about 2-5 minutes to bring up and view the new postings since you were last here.
Pretty quick and easy really, and easier for people who actually post the sightings, to not need to worry about doing it 2 or 3 times in different topics for the needs of a handful of visitors.

This site is set up to have the best balance between doing as much as possible by contributors for the benefit of visitors, without being too much of a chore to spoil their fun and not want to contribute.
We also need to encourage visitors to contribute, so that they aren't just using this site or asking others to do more, without doing more themselves in return.

Argh. Every time I see a new post in this thread, I get my hopes out that it has hit retail, lol

I'm checking all states threads obsessively now

I found the WA thread finally. Mostly I post when I see stuff. My CW toys are pretty much complete, and titans a bit off yet, just didn't want to miss out like I did on some of the earlier CW figures when my local stores got NONE of them in.
That was before I found this forum. I would have missed Sky Reign and Bruticus (my fav two CW Gestalts) if not for the sightings thread on this here forum, as south of the river WA is crap for Transfomers, while north of the river is like Transformers mecca (meaning they actually have stock, like any normal store in the eastern states).

It's pretty clear anything not star wars, marvel or other mainline stuff like LEGO south of the river doesn't sell that well. There are exceptions like the limited amount of stock at specialists like Toy World etc.
I used to live in eastern states and was used to just grabing toys wherever and not even thinking about, but here it's CRAP. My local Big W for example doesn't even stock deluxes or voyager figures at all, just the odd legends class, basically it's like Coles but with less Transformers toys. I've seen the same RID/animated whatever stock sitting there for like nearly 12 months, no price reductions, no new toys, just crap.

I have to do (costly) road trips when I want to buy Tformer toys, I usually hit up all the kmarts, target, big w, tru etc north of the river and just take all day and grab what I can, and avoid the after market ebay price jack ups.

Anyhow, thanks to everyone here for your suggestions, you guys have been really helpful, and more polite in general than TFW.
