I went and the TF drought is over. Plenty of stuff on the shelves (though you'll be hard pressed to find any of the movie characters). Plenty of extended universe characters like Longarm, Landmine, Stockade, Dropkick, Payload, Arcee etc.
I think you guys are right, those Battle Packs are so going to shelf warm. Lots of Leader Megatron, BRawl and Nightwatch Primes.
It does raise the issue, did Hasbro Australia really stuff up? I mean, you sell the periphery movie items when the movie is still on a high, not when its been almost a year later and the buzz is gone. There was a time when Dropkick or Payload would've been lucky to find. Now, they're just shelfwarmers. Wouldn;t it have been better to meet demand by resupplyying original movie characters? Then again, they are doing that in a way w/ Premiums though I must say it is rather annoying seeing 12 Voyager Megatrons at several stores. Of all the moulds that was the one we least needed.
Lots of Robot Replicas too.
Unforunately no new Robot Heroesor Titaniums
. *taps foot* I'm getting very impatient...
