Legacy toys now out at retail in Australia

Is anyone else finding that Legacy Kickback is the one disappearing first from the wave 1 Deluxes?
I can understand Blaster being first to disappear from the Voyagers because we didn't get it here during Kingdom, and it is the Gen1 figure of the wave... but Kickback is the illusive one from the Deluxes, even on Amazon.

Maybe some people are army building Insecticon clones?

From what I've seen, Drag Strip is the best seller. Both Kickbacks from the case were available when I popped by Target Parramatta this morning.

That said, 3/4 Blasters had sold (and all four 4 Bulkheads were still on the shelf).

The Legacy Leaders are here too!

Hasbro Australia said that they wouldn't be released until July, but must have seen the sense of getting them out in stores before we got tired of waiting and just imported them.
Laser Optimus Prime and Galvatron were seen at a Toymate in the ACT yesterday, and since Target have Leaders in their system, hopefully it means they get them within the next two weeks like they did with the Deluxe and Voyagers (after they were first found at Toymate).

Does this mean we aren't getting Pipes and Slammer in stores?

Legacy toys now on the Myer website today, and they have 30% off Transformers this weekend.
Legacy was also seen at a Mr Toys store (QLD Toyworld), and those prices will be added to the price-comparison listing.

It just leaves BigW to start getting them in... which I would hope is in the next two weeks for the start of their toy sale on the 14th of June.

I'd be surprised if they do show up at a retail store now.
I think the various online sources that had that Deluxe wave must have absorbed all of the (limited) stock that came into the country - limited because Hasbro Australia would only have had a small amount come in just to tide them over until Legacy came out.
If Hasbro still has any stock at their Sydney warehouse, it could show up somewhere discounted... or even show up to pad out the BigW mid-year toysale (like they did in the last two years, but they only had early waves from the older series).
I think someone found a Tigatron at a BigW store, so some cases may have slipped through before the retailers stopped buying Kingdom, but now that we are seeing Legacy at the major retailers (and the BigW sale in 2 weeks time), the chances are slim.

Thanks Griffin. I saw a Tigertron at Big-W in Doncaster last week.
