There's a figure of my namesake out in Australia? Woo hoo! Me want it now. Shepparton has nothing new, I can't even find the 2nd wave of Robot Heroes . Any good sites to try and find them on to buy?

Has anyone spotted the Movie Robot Heroes yet?

Yeah it sucks how some suburbs get heaps of stuff and some got nothing (like my area).

I don't know any good sites, unfortunately. Mind you I usually go out to buy toys. The Target I go to has a lot of robot heroes 2. Which is weird. Wave 2 exclusives should be out but they don't have it yet.

There are some Tits at Kmart Ashfield; Starscream, Sunstorm and WW Ultra Magnus. But I just want the Fallen

I wish all shops would just simultaneously restock... today!

I wish they got more Robot Heroes in, they only had Rodimus pack, and Mirage pack, and that was when I was first there when they came out, I have been checking often no sign of other Robot Heroes anywhere!

Anyway I got a TF Bed sheet lol.

Elita 1, Armourhide and Clocker have only just been announced as US Target exclusives, so it may take some time to get them released out here. Most definitely after the Target toy sale I would guess.

Has anyone seen the G1 Magnus/Fallen Titaniums in store anywhere, I swear they were the wave prior to the repaint wave... Still think only every 2nd wave gets a store release here.

What's confusing me is that 08 Bumblebee has been bought by some people in Australia, but he seems to be absent in many stores.

Get used to it, its commonplace.

What I find in Penrith, I almost never see in Mt Druitt or Blacktown, and all 3 locations are within 35 km of each other. Sometimes what I find in Blacktown doesnt make its way to Mt Druitt for over a month.

The general distribution works like this:
- Items found in the USA/ New Zealand
- Items found 2-3 weeks later in Rundle Mall Adelaide South Australia
- Items found in Brisbane Metro Area
- Items appear all over Australia.

Give it time, especially at this time of year when stores are super busy with flogging off their toys for layby.

Toys R Us is selling Cybertron Voyager figures for $20 from today the 5th of July until the 23rd of July 2007.

This is over 50% off (normally they are $44.99). But it is only for the Cybertron Voyager figures, and no others.

Got me some comics from Phantom Zone today. Galvatron is a must read for hose who have been reading them, or a great starting point to get you intrigued if you havent.

Wasn't Big W supposedly going to import them? I haven't seen any titaniums since Rodimus and Soundwave. I think you might just have to cave and get them off of CaseFresh...$35 ea which is a bit steep... Seems like the only option. Think that's what I'll be doing in about a week

I went to the broadway kmart and Target today. Target had the voyagers for $45, K mart had a few of the deluxe figures. But i found Voyager Ironhide and Starscream for $35. I think they have mixed up their prices because the deluxe figures were also $35

K-Mart hasn't got Deluxes for $35 you lied!

I saw them for $18.82 at the Toy Sale.

To summarize:

Redeco Jazz should be coming out in August/September.

Redeco Ratcher should be coming out around that time I assume.

Elita 1, Armourhide... they're not till August right?

And 08 bumblebee and Arcee should be here as of July 4th?

One more thing, is it wise to make a special trip to Westfield Garden City in Brisbane to shop for Transformers? They got K Mart, Big W, and Toys R Us, which is pretty good.

My objective is to find 08 Bumblebee, any likelihood of finding it there?

I still can't find Deluxe 2008 Bumblebee. I bet you he will come out around end of the month.

I'll take your word for it. I was thinking (maybe hoping?) for more of a mid-July release, but an end of July release sounds pretty reasonable too.

That TRU is horrible. there is more empty shelves than toys. Unless they had a massive re-stocking since I was last there.
K-Marts and Big Ws all have the same stock really.
The next wave wont be out for about a week I think. Bumblebees will be everywhere.

Ugh. Forget I asked hey. Doesn't sound wise to make a special trip anymore.

Okay, even with Cityrail trying its damn hardest to make sure I didnt get home last night, Still managed a hurricane trip through Penrith.

Got me:
- Deluxe Wreckage
- Robot Heroes 5 pack
- FAB Ratchet
- Soundwave vs Bumblebee Robot Heroes
- Magnus vs. Megatron Robot Heroes
- Legends Prime
- Legends Megatron
- Transformers Stationary pack
- Cybertron Quickmix ($20!;)
I also got me (but were immediately claimed by my gf)
- Titanium Bumblebee
- Optimus Prime Bubble Bath
- Bumblebee "Autobot light" pen.

Big W was trashed, no '08 Bee's, only a few (literally) Bonecrushers, and Wreckages and about 15 Swindles. I got the last Titanium in the store. Helmets, and Legends size figures were all gone.
Kmart was trashed too, had nothing in toy section, and only 2 Robot Heroes 5 packs, got me the stationary from there. They had next to no Deluxe figures, a handful or FAB's and a number of Wave 2 Voyagers (but no Blackout/Ratchet's)
TRU only had Wave 1 figures still, had only Quickmix and Galaxy Force Vector Prime for $20.

The Bumblebee torch pen is awesome, turn on the light, point it at a wall/ceiling at least a metre (but the further away the better) and a cool little Autobot logo appears!

Okay, the Wave 2 Deluxes (Bumblebee, Arcee, Dreadwing, Bonecrusher) all appeared at Plumpton Big W, they didnt have any of the wave 1 figures left, so I'm guessing that they restocked the shelves with the newer wave figures.

Got me 08 Bumblebe and Swindle.
Dreadwing also looks better in person.

Oh nicely done.

I am going to Big W soon :lol

p.s i_amtrunks I added you on msn

HOORAY! Nice find
Now to play the waiting game while little Bumblebee crosses the border...okay that made me sound like a drug dealer but I swear I have nothing to do with trafficking drugs across the Mexican/U.S border...or do I?

Yay! I got 08 BB, Arcee, Bonecrusher and Dreadwing today at David Jones Burwood. I don't know why I got Dreadwing to be honest, but eh, I do like his jet. They weren't on sale either, which is a shame but oh well. Also saw Voyager Megatron at Target, but I didn't get him because he sucks.
