A lot of Cybertron toys have been on discount, in particular Starscream, Vector Prime, Quickmix. I was wondering if nayone could direct me to a store in Brisbane, or possibly Melbourne, that might still have Primus for sale.

Cybertron Primus was a Kmart exclusive, came out this time last year as part of the big toy sales. He came with an exclusive Unicron head, that really ticked off the Americans, as they thought they would be the only ones to get the exclusive. He was $100 on sale, to revert back to $120 afterwards

A few months later (October if memory serves) a new version was released in very small numbers that cam with a bonus pack of a sample of the upcoming Classics Minicons. He stayed at $120

Not long before Easter of this year, my local Kmarts started putting Primus on clearance, starting at $100, and getting as low as $70 (with severely damaged boxes). The last Primus I saw on a regular shelf was at Mt Druitt Kmart back in June.

Your only hope is to ring around every Kmart you can plausibly get to (or all relatives can get to, and post it to you) and hope to high heaven that they may have one somewhere, even if it is hiding out the back somewhere.
Otherwise there is always ebay/carbombya.

Goodluck.

In Australia he was supposed to be a Kmart exclusive, meaning that you could not get him at Big W, Target, Myer, TRU etc.

I think some Toyworld's and independent toy stores may have gotten him (Hobbyco in Sydney for example had 3, but dont have them anymore)
