Yesterday at Garden City.
Kmart - wave 2 Velocitron Deluxe were there, but after a call to a friend, there was only a single Shadowstrip left. There was also still two Scourges there (I bought one, because I was really beginning to doubt EBGames was going to get it, so grabbed one while I still could, and then went to EB to cancel my pre-order).
There was also a new Rescue Bots Academy toy - Bumblebee as a redeco of the 2020 Hotshot race car toy. The odd thing is that it has a really new product number on the packaging, which means that Hasbro is still releasing these toys in Rescue Bots packaging, alongside their Classic Heroes Team packaging (which I had thought was replacing the Rescue Bots packaging for this size class).
Target - had the Cyberverse packaged Movie Optimus, along with one remaining Legacy Beast (Buzzsaw), but they had the latest wave of Classic Heroes Team (Megatron and Megatron) along with two of last year's Headmaster Hardheads.
JB Hifi - Not sure if they had anything new since my last photos of this store, but I did more wandering around this time and found more toys in other parts of the store (which most of their stores seem to do, so always have a walk around if you are looking for something in particular).
I was there to pre-order the Hero 2-pack and Shattered Glass Soundwave. The person taking my order said that it didn't make sense that they couldn't ship these two items to a store to collect, and sent a note to Head Office to see if it is just an error that needs fixing.
Meanwhile, at a Newsagency at Sunnybank, I found some real Transformers toys alongside some fake ones... which was weird.
