Maybe he'll start appearing in normal shops soon.

I think you mean reappearing

Well yes, technically reappearing, but how many have been seen in Australian shops so far? I've heard of maybe 2. That sounds more like a mistake than a release...

I think Classics Jetfire may miss out on general store release, as most stores have re-stocked on Primes and Megatrons, not realising that the majority of collectors have done so, or they were bought for Chistmas Presents.

So he'll be rare as hens teeth, just like Cybertron Evac.

On another note, Various Targets now have the Magnus vs. Skywarp 2 pack (none in Western Sydney as yet) and TRU's all over the country have stocked with the Classics Prime vs. Megatron DVD set for $45-$50, as well as the next 2 waves of Titaniums:
RID Prime, WWI Starscream, Soundwave, Rodimus Prime all going for about $30 a piece, but be quick Soundwave seems to be selling quick.
Also it seems that Titanium Scourge, Optimal Optimus and Jetfire were skipped from general release, but it is yet to be confirmed.

You know, becuase of Hasbro Australia, I am starting to want to leave aus, you know what'll be our luck? We get everything in the blasted movie line >_> Gonna have to go to parra to check TRU next thurs when I have money. VERY pissed about OpOp, as I missed the original release too >_>;

I got Evac, you're not missing much if you don't have it, it's arm is just horrable and feels very stiff in an unposable sense, alot like the Springer, just worse... Needed the Sword/Blades badly, rotating blades is a stupid and just unrealistic weapon, even in TF.

I like Evac, he and Mudflap are two of the best figures in the Cybertron line. I only ever saw 2 Evacs at Target Mt Druitt, and bough one of them

I severely doubt that we will get most of the movie line in general release, with the amount of Fantastic Four and Cars merchandise still available, it wouldnt surprise me if Hasbro only sent out very limited amounts of movie figures, especially from the larger size classes.

We are also very understocked with the TMNT movie figures.

One item I'm sure we either wont get (and if we do, Casefresh and transfigure toys will probably be the only stockists) is the monstrous Supreme Bumblebee, the one that plays "whip it"

lol, not much of a problem then if it's just bumblebee, I have noticed the Turtle thing though, I still need Saccubus, Max Winters and Karai >_> Bah, Atleast I get the g1 Insecticons this week, cards and Rody if he is at Parra.

Well if other TRU sightings are anything to go for, then you should find one.
If the wave 1 figures are any indication, you will be able to find them for about another 3 months

Has anyone gotten anything from Transfiguretoys recently? I'm thinking of getting MP Megatron from them. Are they as fast as they used to be?

ps: where the hell is Ramjet?!

I'll make a nice little Rodimus shrine then Or him VS Starscream, my ideal leaders. Anyway, a friend of mine said the Megs VS Optimus pack is popping up over western sydney, big whoop, UM VS SW or Jetfire would be better news.

Got a Target catalog in my letterbox today.
Has Prime VS Megs 2-pack for $39.99 and Classics Deluxe 2-packs for $45.99. The deluxe 2-pack has a pic of Rodimus VS Starscream. I haven't seen the deluxe 2-packs before and haven't been into the shop to see what the other matchups are yet. Maybe there will be ramjet etc.

I still just want Jetfire.

[edit]
I've just emailed casefresh to ask if they're getting any more Jetfires and told them that I know a few other Aussies who haven't found him yet and might buy him from them. I'll let you know how that turns out when I get a reply.

I found a couple of UM VS SW 2-packs in Hornsby Target the other week, and there were a whole bunch of them at Uncle Pete's and Target or Big W in Warringah Mall when I was there the other week too.

Cool, might be hope to get UM & SW near Blacktown yet.

I got my response from Case Fresh

Case Fresh wrote:Thanks for your inquiry although we regret that we are unable to obtain additional stock of the Jetfire character.

Unfortunately attending Supanova Brisbane is just not viable when we have to transport so much of our stock such a long distance so Case Fresh will not be attending that event.

I think I'll just have to order him from BBTS. I want Revoltech Megatron too and I doubt he'll make it to AU so BBTS it is.

Revoltech Megatron will never be generally available in Australia, a few hobby shops in capital cities might get him but their prices are always extremely steep.

The Target sale starting tomorrow 8th March is for the Classics Prime vs. Megatron set, and 2 pack of classic figures so I bet they'll get in a whole heap and barely sell any, just like the Cybertron 2 packs.

Ive seen the ad for the Prime vs. Megatron set, its one of Hasbro's worst to date, barely shows the figures at all, instead focusing on the DVD, showing mainly Energon Ironhide

Well, apparrently none of the Big W's near me have Ramjet. Anyone else had better luck?

Just rang around my closest two. No luck

Give it time though. And I finally got sick of trying desperately to find Jetfire, so eBay it was.

Sad news, I just called Parramatta TRU, I got told NO NEW TF SHIPMENTS FOR 4 MONTHS, so guess what that means? Movie stuff only, gawd I hate this. I am ready to pay a scalper on eBay for Jetfire and go to Casefresh for everything else.

Some people at Theyareamongus have found Cliffjumper and Ramjet, but mostly in South Australia, and they always seem to get figures a few weeks ahead of the rest of Australia.

I bet Target, Kmart and the other stores will only get a few more Jetfires in (if they ever do, seeing as they have overstocked with the Prime vs. Megatron set) it'll probably be in the middle of the Movie run.

Surely you'd be better off with BBTS instead of ebay.
I ordered Jetfire from them today, and pre-ordered Revoltech Megatron.

And unless you order about US$200 worth of stuff, the shipping expenses just arent worth it. Thats the main reason I dont import figures.

Just a note, Target Blacktown had no Transformers figures from their catalogue sale available, and the staff didnt know why (shock horror). All they had was 3 packs of Classics Wave 1 minicons, half a dozen CD Scattorshots, 2 CD Red Alerts and a Mudflap in a very damaged box.

I swear, TRU parra should be called "WE EMPLOY MORONS" they did have Titanium, RiD Prime, can I shoot them now?

yes.

Big W Tea Tree Plaza had a Cliffjumper but no Ramjet

Parramatta TRU has been in decline for about 3 years now, the same can be said for Parramatta in general, its really become a place for tweens and teens to hang out and buy coffee and juice.
Castle Hill, Blacktown, Penrith and Mt Druitt are all better Transformers hunting grounds now.

Big W seems to have Cliffjumpers appearing all the time, but no Ramjets.

Can we call Ramjet the deluxe Jetfire?

Hey some funny news:

Cybertron Soundwave has finally appeared in Kmart at Blacktown about 8 months after the rest of the country. Also restocked Classics Prime, and 3 Mirage's, 2 AStrotrains and about 5 Starscreams in time for their 20% off toys sale starting Thursday.

Hey all, just some very important details for you all, from Griffin at ozformers:

Griffin from Ozformers managed to get a response from Hasbro about some yet to be released stuff. So....

(quote from Hasbro AU) The information we have on hand at present is as follows:

- Classics 'Constructicon Devastator' 5-pack set. - No retailers willing to take this product

- Classics Legends (Whirl, Bumblebee, Jetfire, Menasor) - Available Soon (Case Fresh have these already)

- Titanium 'Cheetor' and 'Fallen' - Direct import (We do not distribute) imported by Big W

- Reissue Soundwave - TBA

- Micromaster Aerialbots - NO

- Alternators 'Rumble' and 'Ravage' - No decision on this one yet TBA

And is there going to be more Classics Voyager Jetfire released? - No

So Australia will get no Micromaster Aerialbots, no Classics Devastator and no more Classics Jetfire, its time to buy from on online store or ebay if you haven't got a Jetfire and want one.

On the flipside, Titaniums in an Australia wide chain store is good news. Whether it means they will be a Bog W exclusive is yet to be seen. TRU have skipped Titanium waves already.

Finally scored Jetfire today!

Now before everyone jumps in and asks where from, I had to go the eBay route. Sure as hell had no luck finding him anywhere else, and as i_amtrunks pointed out, looks like I really had no other choice.

No sign of Cliffjumper and Ramjet on my end either, and have yet to see the new Titaniums. Give it time. I hope.......
