Beast Hunters Battle Masks (Optimus and Bumblebee - each with a flip down green visor) have been found at a TRU in Perth...
The BotShots Launchers (Optimus & Bumblebee) have also been found at a TRU in Sydney as well.
And Kmart are now stocking Beast Hunters toys, with pricing details here.
Looks like the Wave 1 Kreons have finally been released here, 4 months after Asia and America.
Codes, for those looking for them...
22981 40 - Singe (Turbomaster Scorch) (Euro Gen1)
22981 41 - Inferno (Gen1)
22981 42 - Autobot Springer (Gen1)
22981 43 - Warpath (Gen1)
22981 44 - Quickslinger (Slingshot) (Gen1)
22981 45 - Rampage (Gen1)
22981 46 - Insecticon (?)
22981 47 - Blast Off (Gen1)
22981 48 - Decepticon Hook (Gen1)
22981 49 - Dirge (Gen1)
22981 50 - Airachnid (TFPrime)
22981 51 - Decepticon Bludgeon (Gen1)
We are pretty much going to miss the rest of the TFPrime toys here, but one of the few that Hasbro got in before Beast Hunters toys arrived are the final wave of Legion toys (Fallback/Outback, Tailgate, Knockout), which have now been found at Woolworths (I think their price is about $7).
The recent Hasbro AUS updates claimed that the convertible second series Rescue Bots toys were not being released here, but may have just been a lack of knowledge of their own product descriptions, as the second wave (Boulder and Blades, with Optimus and Bumblebee, and probably Chase and Heatwave as well) have been found at Target, for $29 each.
I think that was the same price as the first series here. It is worth noting though, that the Rescue Bots robots didn't have a price increase in the last year, so remained at US$13.... while mainline Deluxe toys increased from US$12 to US$15. These used to be priced more because they were bigger toys, but now are cheaper in America. Not that it would be reflected here.
As with before, Rescue Bots are likely to only be stocked by a couple chains here.
From a Sydney BigW comes Wave 4 Beast Hunter Voyager Megatron. (Looks like we've definitely missed Shockwave then - unless it is repacked in a future wave)
And from a South Australian Toyworld, come the Construct-bots - Wave 1 Elite, Triplechangers & 2-pack. (Scouts could be later)
