Legacy toys now out at retail in Australia

[griffin]

Sighted at Toymate and Toyworld first last week, at the same time as Amazon Australia were shipping out theirs... but only Deluxe and Voyagers have been seen so far.
(Leader isn't supposed to come here until June/July... and Core class might be sometime before that.)

Photos below were from Toymate Blacktown (NSW) and Majura Park (ACT) posted to facebook by goktimus and Rob Jones...





Deluxe were $40 and Voyager were $60.

If you start seeing them at other retailers or in other states, let us know (here or in the sightings section).

As for the Core class, the good news is that they have been found in New Zealand...which gets its stock from Australia... so that SHOULD mean the Core class would be out here too quite soon (but we have sometimes seen in the past, items show up in NZ that didn't show up here for many months).

A fellow fan posted his sighting of Legacy Deluxe Arcee ($35) and Voyager Bulkhead ($49) at a QLD Target to the Ozformers Facebook page. He mentioned it's Morayfield on another FB page.

So, a lot of Target stores have been getting the Deluxe and Voyager classes since the end of last week... and now Legacy toys are being found in Kmart stores, including the Core Class.

And over in New Zealand, the Leader class was found on Friday, which has me excited that it could also be released here early, but the last word from Hasbro Australia was that it was not being released in Australia before July... so it could be being held back for the mid-year toy sales.
Hopefully they have since changed their mind, and it gets released here as well as NZ.

Is anyone else finding that Legacy Kickback is the one disappearing first from the wave 1 Deluxes?
I can understand Blaster being first to disappear from the Voyagers because we didn't get it here during Kingdom, and it is the Gen1 figure of the wave... but Kickback is the illusive one from the Deluxes, even on Amazon.

Maybe some people are army building Insecticon clones?

From what I've seen, Drag Strip is the best seller. Both Kickbacks from the case were available when I popped by Target Parramatta this morning.

That said, 3/4 Blasters had sold (and all four 4 Bulkheads were still on the shelf).

The Legacy Leaders are here too!

Hasbro Australia said that they wouldn't be released until July, but must have seen the sense of getting them out in stores before we got tired of waiting and just imported them.
Laser Optimus Prime and Galvatron were seen at a Toymate in the ACT yesterday, and since Target have Leaders in their system, hopefully it means they get them within the next two weeks like they did with the Deluxe and Voyagers (after they were first found at Toymate).

Did anyone see wave 2 Voyageurs (Jihaxus & Soundwave) at Kmart or Big W? Skipped perhaps?

The locals seem to have just been sitting on Bulkhead stock as far as voyagers go until I found those today, yeah. Have only seen Jihaxus at JB Hifi so definitely feels like the department stores may have skipped wave 2, though I also doubt my regional stores are entirely representative

I saw Jihaxus at Zing a while back. That was the only place for me.
