The second wave of TFPrime Deluxes has now been sighted in Australia (as of last week).

I saw a Prime Arcee at Parra TRU last night and today it was gone. (No I didn't buy it )

Store exclusive Movie Optimus w/ Trailer has been found at Target (price yet to be reported).

After seeing 2 year old Marvel Crossovers at Toyworld a couple months ago, it looks like more old stuff is being dumped here... and maybe some are here for the mid-year toy sales.

The Store exclusive DOTM "Human Alliance" Bumblebee with Backfire (which was released in America 13 months ago - yes, May 2011), has now been found at a Target store in Melbourne.

Was in my local target and they were just putting out the HA Bumblebee Daredevil Squad. No price that I could see as they had only just started.





There was also at least 10-15 Star Wars Darth Vader/Star Destroyers, I guess they are getting ready for the toy sale.

The Darth Vaders could be the new packaged versions (the toys are the same, just the packaging is changed for this season's style).

Price for the Daredevil set has been said to be $32.

Totally missed the posting just before the Daredevil sighting in the Victoria thread, which is more interesting - Wave 2 Cmdr Class TFPrime (Dreadwing & Ironhide)... but at Myer, so are $20 each!!!

Found cyberverse commander dreadwing and ironhide at Eastland Myer today for $20 (price is the reason I didn't pick these up myself)

.

TFPrime Remote Controlled vehicles (Wave 1 - Bumblebee & Knock Out) found at Myer as well (in Brisbane), for $45 each.



These transform, but I'm not sure if they are a remote controlled transformation, or if you convert the toy and it can still "drive around" in robot mode.

Myer seems to be first with all the new waves it seems, which is a shame, because of how high their prices are.

Wave 2 of the TFPrime Voyagers (Bulkhead & Starscream) were found at a Sydney Myer, for $60 each.

[griffin]

More old items being dumped at Toyworld it seems...

Human Alliance Basics - the first wave was released here 13 months ago (May 2011), but it looked like only Kmart wanted them, so by default they were exclusive to them.

We didn't end up getting Waves 2, 3 or 4... But a couple of sightings suggest that Toyworld have started stocking Waves 2 & 3. (which were released in America around June/July last year).

Australia had a very limited release of later wave TF3 items, and even missed out on a lot of TF3 toys (due to the stores over-stocking on Wave 1 of everything), so maybe we might be seeing a fair few of the waves we missed, as Hasbro America dumps their unwanted (factory) stock on our shores.
(the large Human Alliance figures would be a welcome arrival)
