    Myer blacktown is all out, checked some others with no luck as well. Looks like eBay for voyager starscream : (

    Sad isn't it?
    Many here are still stuggling to find Wave 2 DLX in Australian stores, and wave 4 has been out in America/globally for some time now.

    Sad? - Yeah, especially when it's a certain local distributor's fault for burning out local retailers on excessive orders of Wave 1 stock of anything Transformers related...
    I honestly fail to see how that can be considered to be sound business practise, to shoot your own product in the foot!?!

    Found DOTM Jetwing Optimus at Myre for 50% off the silly price. But even so it came to $67 for one.

    Try looking for em at Uncle pete's stores. I got my ratchet in my local (blacktown) the other day. They had an Arcee as well but not too sure if it's stll there. They don't have it on sale so it will cost $25 each. Hope you find one.
    Wanted AM partner Vanguard, Myclones Dirge, G1 Victory Leo, e-hobby Dark scream ( the black version), e-hobby Magnificus
    Parts- AM partner Basher-side guns, G1 Actionmaster Elite Windmill's blades[I][B]

    seems to be the Australian retailers are missing out, so my advise would be to order online as you can get these waves quicker than waiting of them to appear instore. don't know if the global economy is to blame as retailers are seeing that most customers are really not buying to much at the moment as they are saving their money rather than spending.

    the torture of others sparks is music to my sensors!!!

    TBH Cranky, what ever the reason is for the current state of TF supplies at our local retail stores I think you are spot on mate; Clearly as Australian Transformers Collectors it is becoming increasing clear that we are unable to rely on the consumer choice provided by the majority of our retailers, hence if we are to obtain the toys we desire and at affordable prices we simply must look to overseas online stores.

    In short: We're screwed locally.
