New DOTM Speed Stars at Garden City TRU and Kmart Sunnybank

Kmart Sunnybank also had the Sideswipe and Bumblebee exclusive deluxes for the sale

Which breaks down to being:

Beast Machines Series (animal paint apps) - Optimus Prime, Bumblebee.
Night Attack Series (mostly black) - Optimus Prime, Crumplezone, Bumblebee.
Metal Heroes (re-release) - Optimus Prime

Back of packaging lists 2 more Stealth Force Vehicles (Leadfoot & Roadbuster) and 1 more Beast Machines Vehicle (Lockdown), which may have already been bought, or are released in wave 2 with other themed series vehicles. Metal Heroes packaging also listed first four figures of 8, which are the same as the last 8 released last year.

Another option for Jetwing Primes, but wait for their sale later this month.

Saw a bunch of Jetwing Ops and Shockwaves at St Marys Target.

Looks like the US Target Voyager exclusives (with comic) are here as well:

Spotted DOTM Voyager Ratchet and Starscream at Target Midland. Starscream was pretty decent with silverey bits! $49.99 though.

At ToysRUs Garden City, last week:
A huge kid's electric powered Bumblebee car for $300.
(if it had been produced by Hasbro instead of being a licensed item, it'd be the largest Transformers "toy" ever)


Target Springwood.
Bumblespud - looks to have been re-released like Optimash. $29


Ultimate Battle 2-pack - $39.


Both Electronic Stealth Force figures - Bumblebee & Optimus. $49 each.


At BigW Garden City, a day before the sale - 12 Jetwing Optimus toys in a pile.
(most are now gone, but this photo shows the sheer size of these things in a big stack like this... with some 'random guy' looking at one)

Store exclusive found at Kmart.

Just saw the "Flash Freeze Assault" Sideswipe/Icepick two-pack at Kmart. Only $25 for a Human Alliance deluxe
and basic? Kmart sure did a good deal on their exclusives. Was this part of the toy sale?

Also, just sighted at Target is another store exclusive...

OK, something I havent seen before. I will go back for pics.

Target Canberra Centre has an Exclusive chrome painted Voyager Starscream with comic book.

$49.99

Which should be packed with this one too:

Well then we're getting a good deal then.

Just saw in the First Sightings thread the note about Ratchet and Starscream. I spotted them at Target the other day but didn't know they weren't already spotted.

Also saw a Mirage toy for the first time today. Speedstars but getting closer.

Here's some pics. I did happen to snap the worst of the two pack, but they had about 12 of them.
