I NEVER saw classics Jetfire in an aussie shop, and I check out practically any shop I am near that has even the REMOTEST possibility of carrying toys.
The last time I saw a full shelf of TFs, it was some movie deluxes. I bought the two I really wanted (dropkick and payload) and left. I came back 3 days after and there were none left!!!! They haven't restocked since. I think it was about a month ago.
The convenience of online buying, the strong ozzy dollar and the ridiculously high mark up on oz TFs compared to prices in the US had made me seriously look at buying them from the US.. In fact, If I remember correctly, thats what I did with the majority of the Classsics. I got most of them from BBTS and even with postage, it was either equal too or cheaper than local shop prices.
Sad but true.
