WA Transformers Sightings.

Ransack and Depthcharge are wave 2.

OK. me = confused. I thought all thats out at the moment was wave 1, but after checking Griffins post, I see its all wave 1 and 2. so consider that a correction to my previous post.
Still though, Ransack and Depthcharge seem to be somewhat rare given that all the rest of wave 1 & 2 are on the shelves.
Also, I saw a skids (jazz repaint) at Freo Toyworld. Apparently he's wave 3...?

Seems to be the norm - Kmart Garden City has Voyager Mixmaster and Megatron, plus Sunstorm/Ratchet and Purple Shockwave/Bumblebee.. heaps of both, together with pretty much all of ROTF Wave 1 still.

I believe only Toyworld stores have wave 2 scouts, most likely because they got a condensed wave 1 & 2 assortments. It is all a bit over the place considering:
K-mart - All Wave 1 + Wave 3 Voyagers
Toyworld - All Wave 1 + Wave 2 Scouts + Half Wave 2 Deluxes (Basically, a Wave 1 revision assortment) + Wave 2 Voyagers.

Also, personally I count Soundwave and Bumblebee as a Preview wave, therefore Sideswipe, etc. are Wave 1 and Skids, Chromia, etc. are Wave 2.
The Jazz repaint is Smokescreen. If you do see Skids, a green car make sure you tell me before anyone else.

ROTF toys by wave, for clarity:
* = repaint/remold

Legends:
Wave 1 = Bumblebee, Jetfire, Prime, Springer
Wave 2 = Megatron, Sideswipe, Starscream*, Ratchet*
Wave 3 = Ironhide*, Mudflap, Grindor*, Fallen

Scout:
Wave 1 = Rollbar, Deadend, Knockout, Dirtboss
Wave 2 = Depthcharge, Ransack
Wave 3 = Scalpel, Dunerunner, Reverb

Deluxe:
Preview = Soundwave, Bumblebee* (controversial if this is actually 'Wave 1')
Wave 1 = Sideways, Sideswipe, Rampage, Breakaway
Wave 2 = Skids, Chromia, Smokescreen*, Wheelie, Brawl*
Wave 3 = Cannon Bumblebee, Ravage, Mudflap, Barricade*

Voyager:
Wave 1 = Starscream, Prime*, Demolisher, Ironhide*
Wave 2 = Fallen, Rachet* (? wave 1.5), Megatron, Mixmaster

Leader:
Wave 1 = Prime, Megatron
Wave 2 = Jetfire
Wave 3 = Starscream???

Thats a nice concise list. Better than mine. Mixmaster and Megatron are definitely wave 3 though. Even the yanks haven't got them yet.

[SentinelPrime]

i was under the opinion Mixmaster and Megatron voyagers were wave 2?

there are a few of both of them at Kmart Warwick.

Actually the USA does have them, as well as Wave 4 Stratosphere

Yeah... I'm not really sure about that. I read some sources suggesting that Ratchet & Fallen are kinda 'Wave 1.5', whatever that's supposed to mean.

With toys held back for a 'release date' I guess it meant that the first 2-3 waves have been backing up at Hasbro by the time they started releasing them to stores. So some stores got just first wave cases, and others have been seen with wave 2 and 3 cases of some size classes.
I think in this first month, look around the different store chains (if possible in your area), as you will find different items in different store chains. But by the time the movie comes out, we'll probably see most places caught up as they restock.

The recolour of Jazz is a sad attempt by Hasbro to be Smokescreen, but yes, would look more like Skids with that dark blue and little bit of red...

Just did the rounds of Perth today.

Nothing new.

However, did spot voyager Allspark powered Optimus from the 1st movie on the shelf for 59.99. TF2 Voyagers are priced at $54.99. Can anyone say Dodgy?
