While the Movie preview figures have been available for over a week, Seibertron members Dkaris and Ironhide63 have both managed to nab Voyager class figures from Target stores in New South Wales and Victoria respectively.
As well as the Movie preview figures, Dkaris also reported spotting the Voyager figures of "Ironhide, Optimus Prime, Starscream and a Constructicon", as well as Robot Heroes figures, while Ironhide63 reported sighting the same figures, as well as some FAB's.
Dkaris also provides proof of his sighting with a photo of his purchase.

I think we only got one box of voyagers, and i bought the starscream =D
it might have been Demolishor, the constructicon I saw was Demolishor, it could've been, wait, what alt form did it have??

Also found out how we got our stock so fast, I said the other day i thought a hasbro rep had put up the display. Turns out our manager got the stuff in on a pallet and set it up on Friday, even though two team members told him release date was teh 30th, and he was breaking embargo =/

parramatta target has a whole bunch of em.
if you went hunting around parramatta westfields, you'll find a tonne of animated, tf:movie 1 stuff and alot of universe 2.0 stuff.
i really DO NOT miss hunting for dam transformers. havnt done it since the first movie since i didnt want to get any animated stuff. its a real tease when all we get is stuff that is 2 years old lol, especially since this time 2 years ago i had most of the first wave stuff already. whats with the delay this time around? its a tease! lol

Dkaris wrote:Yeah it was Demolisher. Suprisingly a lot of our rotf stuff hasnt been sold yet, then again the kiddies probably dont know theres a new movie out soon.
I am what you call a 'kiddy' and I am aware of this movie...probably because I follow anything transformer-ish. including the original cartoons, i may not have seen them first hand when they were aired but i have the dvds

I think this sale applies only to Sylvania, Waratah,Nowra and penrith at least thats what the catalogue says.

I think this sale applies only to Sylvania, Waratah,Nowra and penrith at least thats what the catalogue says.
Interesting on two accounts:
1. that the ledaer price point is now $99, not $89 so there is proof of the prices being bumped up for the movie.
2. Limited stores getting the sales prices, cannot vouch for the other stores, but Penrith is 24/7 store, so I wonder if that has something to do with it?

2 or 3 boxes of leader class prime and megatron, i think in total we have 3 or 4 of each
boxes of deluxe figs. Saw heaps of sideswipes, sideways, that F35 jet i forget the name of, and one of the constructicons, i think it was a yellow bulldozer.
We also have a fair few boxes of the voyagers in, so ironhide, prime, starscream and demolisher. as well as FABs and the smaller figures, i think their scout class?
Anyway we're putting ours on display this saturday. theres a marking on every box, dont put on shelf until May 30th. I guess Kmart have some special deal with hasbro maybe. Also i think theres a 15 percent off store wide sale on at target.
For the record, i scanned a few items tonight,
Leader class at full price are 99.95
voyager class are 49.99
and the deluxe class are 29.95. Happy hunting =]

sadly when i was there, no leader primes or megatron just 1 or 2 voyager primes.
the shelf where the tfs usually are was empty except for bumblebee 2 pack thing from TF07

good hunting everyone
Posted by RagingBull on May 28th, 2009 @ 10:35am CDT
just got back from my girlfriends place, she picked up a leader Megatron at $88 or so for me from Stanhope shopping center. Kmart i think it is there. she says there are heaps and heaps of bots. great figure highly recommend it even if you didnt like the first one (which i liked btw)
what a loot i got today, never bought so many tfs in one day! sweeeeet
has anyone seen the twins figures yet?
good hunting
Posted by Decepticop on May 28th, 2009 @ 5:29pm CDT
hope everyone had a great day hunting yesterday for the ROTF action figures and im pretty sure alot got what they wanted and so have I, I didnt have enough money but i was just so tempted yesterday that i end up lay buying breakaway, starscream and leader class megatron and optimus yesterday *just in case you know* but you know what its all damn worth it. YAY! So is there any more toys coming out like mudflap, bonecrusher etc?
btw if anyone is interested with any japanese transformers well maybe this is the time that i can be at your service. I have a connection with the Henkei line and my soucres said that they just recieve the;
Disney label mickey mouse optimus prime
Price: AU$120
Henkei Gear of War Kit set TFC004
Price: AU$80
Takara Henkei D-03 Astrotrain
PRICE: AU$65
Classic / Henkei Optimus Prime Trailer with Roller Black
Price: AU$90.00
Takara Henkei C-21 Smokescreen
Price: AU$65.00
Takara Henkei C-20 Red Alert
Price: AU$65.00
Takara Henkei C-19 Minibot Spy
Price: AU$65.00
Transformers Encore Series #15 - BIG MISSION CASSETTES
Price: AU$90.00
Takara Henkei C-18 Minibot Attack
Price: AU$65.00
Ok i know they are a bit expensive but hey its better than waiting for shipping in ebay, just as long as you give me a couple of days notice. I am based here at Matraville and Blacktown so you can pick it up from where i am. The thing is i can only order the once that have the money already and i cant cancel this order if you have made the order already because il be using my own money to purchase this toys, i am not putting anything on top. I am just helping others as they had help me. so if you are interested dont hesitate its legit
PS: They only have a limited supply sp hurry up, dont miss out! just send me a private message so i can give you my number.
Thanks and Happy Hunting

Looked like the Voyagers had been picked off (except Demolishor) but since I was only after Dirt Boss, there were plenty of the scouts and Gravity bots. Will end up getting a GB, but for $30 they are not enticing right now.

most likely this week to coincide with the movie. the fallen has been sighted here and there but not mass release yet. but def expect them this week so check stores on Thursday for movie and late night shopping day.
good luck hunting out there

Fallen is out here and there, but getting snapped up fairly quickly.
If anyone is after $30 Animated Leaders, head to Kmart before Thursday to get 20% off their sale price.
Posted by i_amtrunks on June 23rd, 2009 @ 6:56pm CDT
Some sightings of Wave 3 deluxes in random and limited Kmarts, with more to follow. With the movie actually out, expect toys to start selling like crazy now.

MASTERPIECE STARSCREAM.
$89.99.

Posted by nezbot on June 30th, 2009 @ 12:55am CDT
Chadstone Target has one ROTF Optimus Prime voice changing helmet.
There's also this 'new' Breakaway that looks shinier than the old Breakaway, not sure if its a repaint/rerelease or anything but there are about 3-4 left.
Mudflap only has one though, no further sightings in ToyRUs or Target

Kmart
ROTF Deluxe Ravage x 1
ROTF Deluxe Interrogator Barricade x 1
ROTF Deluxe Mudflap X 2
Posted by nezbot on July 1st, 2009 @ 8:40pm CDT
Whoa that was quick, today was the beginning of the Kmart Toys Sale, and at around 1030am;
2 x Interrogator Barricade
2 x Mudflap
1 x Ravage
were already missing from the shelves.
There is still 1 x Voyager Mixmaster on the shelves
Update: Toys'R'Us restocked on Desert Tracker Ratchet x 3, picked one up myself.
Aside from that, there are plenty of Deluxe Rampage, Voyager Megatrons, Deluxe Breakaways, Deluxe Soundwaves, and Deluxe Demolishors and plenty of kids crying coz they can't get more than 1-2 toys.
Posted by RagingBull on July 1st, 2009 @ 8:58pm CDT
picked up mudflap and ravage (already got barricade from tf1) TOTALLY AWESOME!
Posted by poke__egg on July 2nd, 2009 @ 10:18am CDT
Saw a few Leader-Class Jetfires there. $99, everywhere else has their leaders for $79 or lower, but not the new wave, which is disappointing.
Australia Fair Kmart has Interrogator Barricade, Mudflap, Mixmaster, and others. Wasn't really making notes.
Toys R Us in Pacific Fair doesn't have much, but they DO have a Leo Prime. Which both confused me and annoyed me as i ran out of money at that point.

There's a stall selling current legends class figures at about AU$5.00 over retail. Avoid!
