WA Transformers Sightings.

But the ultimate good news is that an Australian retailer has taken delivery and therefore stock for Kmart etc shouldn't be too far away.

Hopefully this means as well Shockwave is enroute soon!

Minotaur sources things through PREVIEWS, so basically can get as US retailers start to receive shipments into their warehouses....

we are still a few weeks behind a normal release

Wreck Gar only JUST showed up in the USA yesterday and the USA has had Cyclonus/Hound for about a month, and we haven't.

I don't think there's any formula to reflect when large retailers will be getting first stock based on Minotaur and USA arrival dates. Sometimes we get first. Sometimes we never get.

Just moved the last three posts from 'First Sightings' to here, as the other topic is for 'chain stores' to help alert collectors from other parts of the country where to start looking out for certain new items.

Sighted and purchased at Kmart this morning:

Tin and Gel Set, $3.99 before 20% discount:



Study Kit, $4.99 before 20% discount:



Another Study Kit, $4.99 before 20% discount:



A4 Study Kit, also $4.99 before 20% discount:



The Tin and Gel Set also has a movie version, but I only saw one left with a dent on the tin box so will get one another time.

Fremantle Toyworld still unchanged, though the shop owner knows my plastic obsession and says they're getting new stock this or next week.
Target Fremantle is pretty bare, aside from a Universe Silverbolt and a few Animated Leaders nuthin' much.

Kmart Kardinya, on the other hand...1x Universe Ironhide, Silverstreak, Acid Storm, and Sideswipe, couple of Activators (Ratchet and Starscreams mostly) lots of FABs, heaps heaps of Animated deluxes waves 3 and 4, a few Voyagers (mainly Lugnut), lots of Jetfire/Jetstorms, and a fair few Leader Megatrons and Ultra Magnus' on sale for $74.
