    For those interested in what happens on the other side of the world in Australia, we've had a few new toys show up in the last week here, including...

    - Titans Return wave 5 Voyager and Deluxe

    - Movie Voice Changer Masks (Megatron & Bumblebee) and Mega One-step Dragonstorm

    - RID Warrior wave 3 for 2017 (Bludgeon, Thermidor, Twinferno)

    - Movie Allspark Tech non-cube wave 1 (Hound, Barricade, Drift, Bumblebee)

    - Rescue Bots Knight Watch (dragon) Bumblebee and Flip Racer Launcers (Blades & Bumblebee)

    (photos below were posted to the Ozformers board by members Paulbot, Mayzaprime, Sinnertwin, griffin)

    If you live in Australia (or are visiting our wonderful country), and you find something new, post it in the sightings topic here, in case us regulars miss something here.
    Not sure what is out here at the moment, or think you found something new? Check out the toy release listing here.

    No photo yet, but Wave 6 Slugslinger has been found at two Myer stores in different states here today as well (same day as wave 5 appearing at a different chain store).

    Woohoo! *fist pump*
    Might get a Misfire or a Twin Twist, but I\'ll have to pick one and not the other

    Wait, did @griffin-of-oz say he saw Slugslinger? :O

    When Nevermore responds with an emoticon, you know it's big news.

    Fixed it for you! :D 

    Slugslinger is last wave, mate! :rolleyes2  Since when does the States get blessed with LAST waves? :lol 

    Plus, this entire affair should concern you more - is Australian distribution improving or are things just more f*cked up than ever before? :lol  Probably the latter. :eek: 

    I wouldn't be surprised if both wave 5 and 6 end up hitting discounters before retail in the USA... that is, if I still believed discounters carried Generations toys for more than a few days (before being sold out with little, if any, restocks).

    I think "patience" is when you wait for something to happen, and it's largely certain to happen. What then is it when you wait for something that never happens? :lol

    At least the US gets Brainstorm, the Boxsets and clones. I still haven't pulled the trigger on Brainstorm for $60, delivered.

    Wave 4 hasn't even hit saturation in Australia, mostly due to stores expecting the movie lines to move.

    Yeah, we haven't even gotten to Wave 2 of TLK in most sizes, including Deluxe, and TR Wave 5 has been found in literally one store in all of Australia, so cry some more because nobody cares.

    Do we know what other deluxes came with Slugslinger in wave 6? I am hoping it will be Misfire, Twin Twist, and Windblade from wave 5 to make the last deluxe figures easier to get.
