Thanks to the Ozformers Facebook page, we now bring you news of several sightings in Australia, including the Tiny Changers Wave 2 which initially wasn't slated for a release but does indeed arrive.

Here are the sightings:

- Cyberverse 1 step wave 2 (Optimus, Megatron and Starscream) found at a Big W in Brisbane (Kuraby)

- Studio Series deluxe Wave 4 (Dropkick and KSI Sentry, with more potential stock of VW Bumblebee) found at a Target in Sydney. Photo credit here goes to Ozformers member dirge.

- Energon Igniters Power series wave 2 (jet Shatter, Optimus, Blitzwing), seen at Kmart first.

- TF4 movie Tiny Changers wave 2 (we weren't supposed to be getting these here, so seeing them here 16 months after being released globally is a surprise)... seen at Coles in Brisbane first.

- RID Crash Combiners wave 4 (Bisk/Saberhorn & Optimus/Grimlock), also not supposed to be released here, seen at clearance store TKMAXX.

- Cyber Commanders Bumblebee and Optimus have arrived at Aldi.

- Cyberverse Warriors wave 2 (Megatron, Acid Storm and Windblade). These were found at a Target in Melbourne.

Last but by no means least, Kmart have also listed two Bumblebee movie toys that are exclusive to Target in the US.

- Bumblebee Greatest Hits Cassette Pack – AU$45.

Sporadic sightings of the last Terrorcons at Myer, and Predaking has just started showing up, nothing widespread though.

Comment by Triggerdick Megatron Nov 28, 2018

Hasbro said they would release more POTP wave 2 in November in Australia. I have not seen any so far. I need a Battleslash, optimal optimus and wave 2 deluxes...

But i have my Predaking now which is awesome. So many stickers...

Comment by Burn Nov 28, 2018

I think Hasbro distribution have gone "You know what Australia is going to want? Outback. They're going to want Outback. Only send a few of the early Legends wave because they won't sell because Australians are going to want Outback and they're going to get LOTS of Outback."

Re: Australian Transformers Sightings Round Up! (view post)

Comment by Rainmaker Nov 29, 2018

I'm getting the same amount of Cindersaur as Outback.

Terrorcons have been flooding every store here, besides Toyworld and Big W (I think)

Toyworld has Predaking.

I've found an Authentics Alpha Class Optimus Prime at a Woolworths recently, and they're on special. Also found a Ramhorn at a Toyworld recently

Spotted all of the wave 5 deluxes of Studio Series at Kmart.

Wave 2 and 4 have seemed to be unfortunately skipped here

Wave 5 of Studio Series (or 2019 wave 1 as Hasbro calls it) has yet to be found in the US, but fellow Seibetronian Rainmaker has found the delues in Australia. This wave include Barricade, Sideswipe, Clunker Bumblebee, WWII Bumblebee and everyone's favourite, Crankcase.

These were found in KMart for $30 AUD (which is around $21.50 USD). If anyone else spots these in Australia, let your fellow Aussie friends know in the sightings thread. None of the classes for wave 5 (deluxes, voyager or leaders) have been found in several other areas of the world, like the US, so let us know if you find them.

Comment by Carnivius_Prime Jan 19, 2019

eh, Crankcase ain't a bad figure, just a baffling choice of mold. I'd really love to know Hasbro's reasons for not using the original Berserker mold. Did someone there lose that mold, maybe down the back of the couch or something? I'm saying mold too much in a short post. Mold.

Mold. :michaelbay:

I'm still impatiently waiting for the online retailers here in UK to get Swipe and Baz back in stock. I got Jetfire and Optimus from two different sites and neither has those two deluxes in at the moment. One of them I think did but sold out really quickly (as did Prime, Jetfire, Boney and Moonatron, but of course Crank & Clunk are still available) and are waiting restock.

Comment by Rainmaker Jan 22, 2019

Went to Toyworld, saw the new Siege as reported before. Saw all deluxes, voyagers and leaders and 2 battlemasters

Also found these which I didn't think I would.

Comment by william-james88 Jan 23, 2019

Seibertronian Rainmaker found several toys he had not seen on the shelves yet in Ausrtalia. One of them is MPM Barricade for $159.99S AUD and the Vission Vision Bumblebee Movie toys that have already been spotted in the US. If you find these toys in your area, or if there are other toys you wish to share with the community, you can post in our sightings forum or sighitngs section.

If I had realised those were the wave 2 battlemasters I would've taken pictures. But unfortunately I won't be there again until next week or so. I didn't bother taking pictures of the Siege toys because there were already reports of it in Australia at Toyworld and now I regret not taking them.

Edit: If I'm lucky I can be there by Sunday

This image is not my own, I got it from Discord by an Australian user called DrLockdown. I am using it show proof of the wave 2 Battlemasters until I can get my own, he bought these at a store called Hobbyco which I had not have heard of until now. Pteraxadon and Aimless lie next to Lionizer.

Thanks to the keen eye of fellow Seibetronian Prismartyr, we have new sightings for several Bumblebee-series figures. Found at a Big W in Erina, New South Wales in Australia, the figures found include Energon Igniters Power Series Ratchet and Nitro Series Blitzwing and Dropkick, though Dropkick was not photographed.

Astute readers will recall the memorable discovery of Ratchet prior to a reveal from Hasbro late last year in the US, so it appears the figure is finally seeing better distribution among foreign markets.

As always, be sure to be neighborly and report your sightings of any of these figures in your location’s sightings forum and be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news and reviews.

Thanks to a post on Ozformers' Facebook page we have some confirmation of pricepoints on Transformers toylines that will be (or are) available for sale this year in Australia. Hasbro's official suggested retail pricing is as follows, though as the post states, various retailers look to be more expensive than others:

Botbots 8-pack - 25
-
WFCS BattleM - 10
WFCS MicroM - 20
