FIRST SIGHTINGS ARCHIVE of new Transformers in Australia

[griffin]

This was posted in a different section at the end of January, so forgot to copy it here... the last wave of Rescue Bots convertible robots for 2014 - Boulder as a dump truck and Chase as a Police SUV - at Kmart for $19.

or check your local Kmart they came in last Friday apparently. $19

[griffin]

Just a couple weeks after the Boulder/Chase wave was found, we appear to have skipped the Salvage/Optimus wave... as Blurr has just been found at a Kmart in NSW.

Found this guy in KMart Penrith. $19.00ea.

Continuing the run of first releases at Toyworld stores, the Leader class Generations Megatron toys have been found at a number of Victorian stores for $95.

ToysRUs have the Generations toys listed as in stock, so should be showing up at their stores in the next week - Legends $20 - Deluxe $30 - Voyager $50 - Leader $90.

Wave 2 of Generations may have already started appearing here, with Legends Blackjack and Huffer at a Sydney Target, before BigW and Kmart have even started stocking the first wave of the line...

Further to the Miranda post just earlier..

Was just there. Picked up entire wave 1 at target on sale! Plenty of G1 megs and Armada. They did have black jack and huffer last week.. Not there today tho.

Target stores around the country are now filling shelves with Generations toys in the last week, following the lead of Toyworld and ToysRUs first. Just waiting on Kmart and BigW for full saturation.


Another new Rescue Bots toy found in Australia - transforming Elite Heatwave, which is more than twice the size of the regular transforming RB toys, but only about 50% more in price. No electronic gimmick though, so not sure why it was upsized, when it could have been a regular sized toy.

from Kmart Airport West (Melbourne) of the newest Rescue Bots...

Sightings have been so slow these last few weeks, I might as well note that Kmart are now stocking RID & Generations toys... only the first wave, and it might take some time for all the stores to get them and put them out.
Just waiting on BigW now.

GEN Deluxe Wave 2 at BigW. They finally start stocking the Generations toys, but are so late, they look to have missed out on Wave 1 Deluxes... but since the first wave gets re-released later with comics, they should show up eventually at BigW.

aat Big W macquarie tonight:



No price tags on the shelf and none of them were scanning in the System.

And the import of the Japanese Movie Stinger Deluxe toy has finally shown up at ToysRUs (exclusive to them), for $30.

Just spotted aoe stinger at TRU garden city $30 each

Wave 2 of RID Warriors found in Melbourne.

Local kmart has wave 2 rid warriors prime and drift

The first of the Reissue packs has been listed on the ToysRUs website, and apparently found in a Melbourne store.
The Insecticon 3-pack is $150, which is very high for these three tiny toys, but this set is expensive overseas as well, so it is not just us. The other Reissue packs that have prices known so far have been more reasonably priced.

Insecticons now available at TRU online website for $149.99

I just saw the Gen1 Transformers Platinum Edition Insecticons at Toys are Us in Knox City ,box art looks absolutely fantastic but theres no way i will be paying the $149 price tag for a 3 pack of little insecticons.
