GEN Selects Guard DK-2 (black Ironhide) is now arriving at EBGames stores for pickup, as I picked up mine this afternoon just after it had arrived.

SS DLX wave 14 (SS78 Sideswipe) is indeed starting to show up at major retailers, but was first in Australia at the end of January (through online sources), so it just took two months for the major retailers to need/want them.

Studio Series Coronation Starscream at Target, but currently online only:

Target website has Coronation Starscream online only for $89.

Studio Series Coronation Starscream at Target, but currently online only:

Ah, looks like I forgot to mention back on March 1st that SS Starscream and SS Soundwave both showed up on the Target website, but only as online purchasing... which I guess made it difficult to have as a physical sighting. Soundwave has since shown up at EBGames stores, and maybe Starscream as well (both also showed up on Amazon Australia later as well, but again, these two seem to be stubbornly NOT showing up at national retailers).

After two false starts (listing it and then cancelling all orders, twice), Amazon Australia have finally had the SS-77 grey jeep NEST Bumblebee in stock, as of yesterday... but they only had a couple of units last night, so either they didn't get much, or they sold out very fast to people who check Amazon Australia very frequently.
(mine shipped today, after ordering it last night)

Meanwhile, wave 3 of the Classic Heroes Teams toys (now dropping the "Rescue Bots" logo) has shown up in Australia as well, with the new mould Optimus and Grimlock.

These ones? I thought these looked newish, at Geelong's Big W

Not mentioned in this thread yet: Wave 2 Headmasters (Weird Wolf and Skullcruncher etc.) were sighted at a WA Target.

Also, Legacy Deluxes and Voyagers have been found at Toyworlds in numerous states, as well as at a Target in QLD:

A fellow fan posted his sighting of Legacy Deluxe Arcee ($35) and Voyager Bulkhead ($49) at a QLD Target to the Ozformers Facebook page. He mentioned it's Morayfield on another FB page.

First Legacy Core Class nationally, and first Legacy @ Kmart sighting:

Kmart Campbellfield has Legacy stocked. I picked up the only core left there, still a couple of Bulkheads and a full set of deluxes on deck.
