Can't find Arcee anywhere locally, was lucky to see & grab the Ratchet I saw when I did!
- Soundwave of all figures is the one shelf-warming around here!?!

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!?!![]()

Finally found prime voyager starscream at myer castle hill, one left there at $36. Still can't find deluxe ratchet or arcee dammit !!!
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.

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.![]()
