    If you're still after some Generations figs, Kmart Boronia has:

    1x Wheeljack
    1x Thundercracker
    2x Kup
    2x Warpath
    2x Dirge

    They also had wave 1 of Dotm figs, but not a huge lot.

    Oooh, might check that out on the way home tomorrow night. Would like a Kup.

    EDIT: I can confirm there are some some Thundercrackers (at least two), Wheeljacks, Scourges and I think some Kups left.

    Kmart have the Nascar like redeco's of Sidearm Sideswipe (blue with yellow and "04") and mv1 Bumblebee (yellow with black and large "08") for $15.75 each.

    It has a "Movie Exclusive" sticker on it.

    That is bizarre... those two were a Walmart exclusive WITH the Deluxe Optimus that BigW got here. So Hasbro AU had to separate them because one store didn't want all three, or maybe wanted to share out all the exclusives.

    Still, a great job for them to get all these American store exclusives out here in some way. It's a tough job with our small market and huge REGULAR line of (Movie) toys.

    $15.75 for deluxes? I suspect this is toy sale pricing, put on the shelf early.

    Yeah, I thought that was weird. So I scanned other deluxes and they came up as the regular $23.xx. It's only these two exclusives that are priced as such for, I believe, the upcoming toy sale.

    While they are both Walmart exclusives, they are two different exclusives.

    Bee ships 5 per case, Sideswipe ships 3 (or it might be 4/4)
    While Prime ships 8 per case (a solid case)

    So thats why they can be spilt in Australia.

    Yeah, I know they are in separate cases, but they've been paired up and released together as if they were all in the same case.

    As for the price, it is another example of how Hasbro was ripping us off with keeping the regular sizes at the same price as last year...
    As each one-off item is being priced based on the current exchange rate, its retail price gets cheaper and cheaper than the same-sized regular items that are still pegged at pricing set years ago when the exchange rate was US$0.50.
    If Hasbro ever claims that they aren't taking advantage of the exchange rate, the prices of these one-off exclusive items are proof.

    Wonder if they will be in the catalogue. They could be usefull to price match against. Especially if they just say deluxes.
