Managed to pop into TRU at Garden City for a few minutes before going to see the Star Trek Movie, and saw the huge TFs display at the front, like they did for the last movie.
They didn't appear to have much past the first wave in anything, but did look to have all of the main assortments/sizes.
In their usual TFs section they had several Treadbolts that were new since I was last there, plus the Animated 2-packs (everyone seems to have them now), AND the big surprise for me - the latest Robot Heroes (Ricochet Vs Predaking, Tigatron Vs Inferno, Cheetor Vs Tankor). Only one set were left though, as I bought one of each for me.
One thing I also forgot to mention earlier - at Toyland in Carindale, they had some of the 2007 Battle Damaged Optimus (single packed like the 'premium' Ratchet and Megatrons), for $45.

Also have the Universe Voyagers for about $25 still. I did see only dropshot, heavy load, blaster, and blades. Not sure about how many of each. There must of been at least about 12.
Has anyone seen the next wave Universe Legends, like Wheelie, Cosmos and Warpath? I have yet to see them and deluxe Ratchet up here.
Thanks to the tip and photo Griffin put up of his local Big W, I hunted down myself a Ravage and Cannon Bumblebee at Big W Burleigh Heads/Robina? on the Gold Coast. I was so disappointed after a forty minute drive, finding bubkus in the TF section. But I walked around the whole store, ever isle, and found it in the dead center of the store, next to confectionery.
If you're desperate for Barricade Bumbles or Ravage, there were so many that even a scalper would probably leave you one.
None at Kmart Helensvale or Kmart Robina, but Robina DOES have a new movie isle, with lots of stationery included animated and movie pencil cases for only $2.50, a bargain at twice the price, and lots of pens, stamps, notebooks, etc.
got mine ravage and mudflap from garden city kmart, and spotted more mudflap and cannon bees in indooroopilly kmart.
