Full list of Movie exclusives for Australia

[griffin]

Is the Optimus Prime 2pack the one with WFC Prime and TR Orion Pax?

No, the product code matches the 2-pack with the grey Protoform Optimus in it. (I only asked about Movie exclusives at this time.)
SeraphimPrime already found it in Sydney.

$79.96 for the TRU DELUXE Optimus Prime & Cybertron/Proto Optimus Prime 2 Pack & $29.96 for the LEGION 2 packs with Optimus/Grimlock, Bumblebee & Megatron?

Absolutely crazy that retailers would order Wave 1 peg warmers and not Hot Rod.

Thanks for the heads up Griffin. I just ordered Hot Rod deluxe and legion from eBay. It'll probably arrive at RK cheaper, but at least I have it guaranteed and haven't missed out. Some Walmart exclusive toys don't go up on their website, and been burnt before

Its a TRU exclusive last I checked for the US, I wouldn't...mind him :c

With the 1-step 6-pack now out at retail, we just have Infernocus left to show up in Australia.

Here are some photos and details of the 6-pack.

The recently released Movie 6-pack of 1-step toys, under the "Reveal the Shield" banner, has paint details hidden in a pattern of red dots.... which are revealed with one of the transparent red accessories (or one off the old 1980s techspec decoders). But be aware that some dotted areas don't have anything hidden in them.
This multi-pack of 1-step toys is a rarity, with every toy having some colour changes, and accessories (on a sprue shaped like what the RID Minicons had).
The pack contains Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Hound, Barricade, Megatron and Grimlock.
The first four are redecos of wave 1 toys, while the other two are from wave two... which aren't out here yet, so this was their first release in Australia (and the first time for this Megatron toy as the Grimlock toy was originally released in 2014 for the 4th Movie.
I think the red wheels spoil the toys a bit, and could have been left black... while the large areas of dots detract from the toy as well. But it's not uncommon for a Transformers toy to be spoiled by a marketing gimmick.
The one good thing about this set is the price here - $99 at BigW, and only $79 during the current mid-year toy sale. That's about 30% less than what six regular 1-step toys would cost.

Pity TRU isn't getting the TRU Primus/Cybertron. RK has it at a whopping 249.90!

Well if it came here, could you imagine how expensive it would be. It would probably about $400.
But it's not just Asia, the RRP in America is three times the price of the original TFCybertron toy 10 years ago.
That's worse than property value increases.
