How are these independent Toystores allowed to put the TFA figures on their shelves before the major retailers?
I'm guessing they all received their stock at roughly the same time but wasn't there supposed to be a strictly controlled release date (like the movie line from one year ago)?

For those who own them, can anyone recommend a place to start collecting? I'm skipping Optimus until Voyager at least, so suggestions welcome.

Start with Bumblebee. A cool toy and once the cartoon starts airing this could be the hard to find one.

I was thinking that... until I saw the Legacy of Bumblebee 3-pack. Now, I might wait for that instead...Originally Posted by Paulbot
Toyworld Rundle Mall and Norwood Parade had nothing today (the Blackwood store had everything)!

Definitely start off with Lockjaw. He's the coolest bounty hunter since Death's Head (yes, he probably was based on him even though they're denying it - wait till you see him holding Prime's axe). Bumblebee is kind of fun, and a good place to start too - he's going to be a sellout with every kid wanting a bumbles.
Titan Towers, Southport has a huge set of deluxe and voyager figures, as well as the two-pack Optimus and Megatron for 49.99. The two-pack is probably the best value, as you get the two leaders for the price of a single voyager.
I checked my local Toyworld (Runaway Bay), but no luck yet. Not at Kmart Southport and Target Runaway Bay yet either.
