go on Ebay they have some there, but I have been wondering that question too... will there be an 08 Bumblebee in K-mart for AUS?

Aussies have 3 options if you're talking department stores: Target, Big W and KMart. So far I have found Big W a good choice in terms of price (Voyager Class is only $40 whilst it is $50 at Target) but the problem with Big W is that they don't have a big range and they run out quickly.
Then Target obviously has the exclusives and has the largest range of all the stores, but at the same time is very expensive. Leader Prime is 99.99!!! I'm hoping to get him at Big W instead.
I haven't tried out KMart yet. I don't know what their range/prices are like.

Of course
Though the only problem is Bumblebee has been selling like hot cakes. Went to all the major department stores yesterday and didn't see a single 78 Camaro Bumblebee.
We'll just have to be patient.

I DID see Camaro 74 somewhere. Probably gone now though. I want the 08 one, but that's the one that has been evading my grubby long fingers. It's either in the next wave that hasn't come yet, or it is simply absent in Brisbane.

Don't worry, '08 Bumblebee is in the next wave.
By the way have you seen any titaniums in Brisbane. I could only find WWI Optimus, GI Megs, Rodimus and Soundwave...

08 Bumblebee comes with the next wave of figures, including some non-movie figures. Hopefully he will be available during the Big W sale starting this Thursday. Doubt it though.

Sorry, I haven't seen Titaniums. Will tell you if I do. I personally don't think Brisbane is the best place for buying action figures.
When's the next wave coming again? 14th of July or what?

Do we Australians ever get the Wal-Mart exclusives? I badly want a G1 Masterpeice SS which seems to be a WalMart Exclusive.
Apart from the over priced ones on Ebay (that ill probly end up buying) will we ever see them?

It's likely. The American store exclusive Classic two packs of Ultra Magnus and skywarp & Deluxe Optimus and Megs were released here. And don't forget MP- Magnus found it's way to our Tragets. We have a good chance.

Just a correction : they are $45 at Target.

I do believe a 2008 camaro can bumblebee in Australia. How a 2008 camaro bumblebees in Australia is the real question.

The real question is whether it can fly like a butterfly.

Oh thats good. I have found K-Mart had the largest range of toys they sold out very quickly but they keep ordering in more, they rule, Target is also quite good, but Big W haven't found anything there except balances from the first wave. That is in Brisbane though.

I hope so, but I don't think it's too likely. They didn't exactly sell well, which is no great surprise.

There's no Toys R Us in the CBD. There are 2 Toyworlds in the City, one is terrible, no range at all, the other one was okay, I got my Leader Prime there because it is $90 AUS rather than 99.99 as advertised by Target.
I'm going to visit Melbourne in 3 weeks, I might hit more toy shops there and check it out.

Well Wave 2 figures (including Swindle, Brawl and Bonecrusher) have all been spotted across Big W's everywhere in Australia, so maybe, just maybe, we might also get wave 3 during the July sales...
Dont hold your breath though.

I am hoping Elita 1 and Armourhide will appear in Target Australia asap, and I am hoping 08 Bumblebee will appear in Toyworld/Big W asap.

When the 2008 Bumblebee comes out how much will it be?
Will it be the same prices as all the other Deluxes, say about 27.95?

I think so. I don't see why it should be at a different price.

It will be at the same price as the Deluxes in every other store. About $24 in Big W, through to about $28 in Target, K Mart, TRU and Toyworld.
Why would they make a single figure cost more than all of his size class brethren?
