    Trying out some postcodes on the kmart website (at the link in the first post), there are only a handful of stores in a couple of states that have them so far, so I imagine that they are only just being shipped out to stores from today, and should be at all/most by the end of next week.

    There is some dispute as to what assortment is at Kmart, as their website shows six toys that includes Gears and Warpath, but the photo of the toys at Helensvale by ReillyD, suggests that it is just the other four without those two.



    These are WAAAAY over-priced for us here, especially for Kmart. These reissue mini-bots were US$8 in America, so at the most, these should have been AU$15 here (or less, since this is Kmart).
    By comparison, Cyberverse Scout toys are also US$8 in America, and are AU$12 at Kmart here, so these reissue toys at Kmart should also have been about AU$12.



    I guess with the Netflix Voyagers being about $10 under-priced, we get a bit of a trade-off between the two.


    BTW, now that we have some of the reissues showing up at Kmart, it should be okay to mention that we might also be getting the following reissues at Kmart this year (if they haven't cut back during this recession)... but I don't know if they are coming out soon with the Mini-bots, or later in the year.
    - Soundwave w/ Buzzsaw (was US$50 in US)
    - Optimus Prime (cab) (was US$50 in US)
    - Cassette 2-pack Ravage/Rumble (was US$20 in US)
    - Cassette 2-pack Frenzy/Laserbeak (was US$20 in US)

    Gotta admit. When I saw the word Vintage, I thought piles of case fresh warehouse found!!!

    Are these North American or International variant?

    Kmart ("K mart") used to sell them for $3.98 (actually, about $11.68 in today's money - thanks RBA inflation calculator!)

    Yes, please share any other old catalogues you have. It would be great to see the old prices of Transformers.

    From what I've seen of sightings online, the Kmart ones are the bi-lingual packaging (with tech specs on the back) not the multi-lingual packaging ones that Cotton On had.
    Looking to buy lucky draw Armada Prime and Diaclone Marlboor Wheeljack.
