Roadbuster Ultra Magnus and Universe Cyclonus, Hound, Inferno and Starscream spotted at a shop called Minotaur Comics in Melbourne. This was a few days ago but they should still have a bunch (there were about 10 of each when I went in).

Excellent news, but damn you Melbournians! :P

Hopefully it's not too long before they get to retail then :)

Saw Universe Cheetor and Dinobot as well as Animated Atomic Lugnutz and Wrck-Gar for 150%+ retail price at Minotaur while I was in Melbourne for the Tennis.

On the drive back home found the Animated Activators Wave 3 with Dirge, Megatron, Bandit Lockdown and Grimlock, priced for $23, and the 25th legends for $9 at an independant toy store on the NSW South Coast.

Shouldnt be long till they arrive in the big stores, hopefully before March.

They can be a real bloody rip off Minatour but anyway last TF related thing I got was a belt from Jay Jays. Really nice too.

TFM Incinerator and OffRoad Ironhide at my Local Kmart, Hidden amongst all the other movie crap, like Screen Battles, and Bouncy Balls.

No idea on price, as I couldn't give a rat's arse about the figures.

Inferno and the other Voyagers in his wave (Leo Prime etc) are turning up in Toyworlds (which I think are the same as Toy Kingdom over east).

Toyworld (mostly QLD and country areas), Toy Kingdom (Melbourne and regional areas) and Uncle Pete's Toys (Regional Areas) are more or less the same compnay now, so if you see a report one store has them, chances are the others will soon too.

Hobbyco in Rhodes NSW had Leo Prime and Dropshot for sale, but someone already nabbed Inferno. :(

I picked up my layby that was the Robot Heroes I didn't have. Any news of when any new ones are out? These are pretty much the only TF I collect now.

The wave with Perceptor and Bombshell (Hardshell :roll: ) etc? From memory these haven't turned up at retail in Aus yet, although I'm pretty sure they have in the US.

After Target's Dismal effort of a sale this past week (which we all knew would fizzle), Kmart is having a 20% toys sale this week, starting Thursday 12th of March.

Anyone else thinking its to try and clean the shelves of the same toys that have been on shelves since November 2008? Considering all the movies that will have accompanying toylines coming out soon, I expect the TF section to shrink to nothing again (like it did just before the first movie was released).

Animated Shockwave (purple) with Activator Bumblebee and Sunstorm with Activator Ratchet 2 packs have been spotted at Hobbyco stores for $50 in NSW.

It seems that sightings for Blurr and co outside of Toyworlds is slow still. Same goes for Inferno, and the newer Classics Deluxes.

Slowly sightings of Blur and Swindle are increasing.

Spotted Universe Cheetor, Dinobot and Cyclonus at Kmart Penrith.

All were mixed in behind multitudes of Smokescreens.

TRU Penrith is the NSW dumping ground for all teh movie left overs.

Deep Space Starscream $50, Movie repaint Voyagers (Mudflap and Inferno) $50, then a stack of turn arounds, Real gears, the role play blasters and weapons (PDA< Camera etc), any movie crap you can think of Penrith TRU probably has it.

hey everyone!

SOUNDWAVE AND BUMBLEBEE HAVE HIT TARGET!

for any of you out there in west sydney, target at whetherill park have about 10 soundwaves and about 10 bumblebee's from revenge of the fallen.

keep your eyes peeled at your local shops because i actually had to dig through animated crap to get those these, they were stashed at the back of the shelves.

i picked up soundwave and he is sweeeeet especially in robot mode and the alt mode has enough flexibility to make your own satelite/re-entry mode. didnt want to get bumblebee as i got the first movie one. but hurry these could go quick and there isnt many left.

btw, anyone know when the first wave is coming. am dieing for these new figures. its going to be a revenge on my wallet for not buying animated crap. lol

good hunting everyone!

the revenge has begun

Wethrill is one of the better stores, its among the first in Western Sydney to stock up, the preview figures are starting to be seen everywhere.

If you missed out on the ANimated Leaders, head on down to kmart, they are flogging them off for $39 a pop to clear shelf space. Megatron seems to be the hardest to find. If based in Wetsern Sydney and after Megatron, give Penrith a try, they had a good 10 or so last week.

i remember back in 2007 the figures came out full swing with about 2 weeks left to go at uni, hehe i remember i missed a lecture to pick up Optimus Prime leader class hehehe.

any idea on the first wave release date anyone?
