    Buzzworthy Bumblebee isn't a Target exclusive, I've seen figures in Toyworld.
    As for Velocitron, it's the same sort of case with the Netflix figures, since they were exclusive to a specific retailer in America, they're exclusive to a specific retailer here. JB only stocks Legacy, Studio Series, Shattered Glass, Collaborations and the Golden Disc collection, Zing just stocks whatever is on Hasbro pulse.

    While googling for the elusive Velocitron Cosmos, I came across a total dick on a local TF site who deliberately photoshopped four Cosmos' into the one pic & posted it in the Acquisitions thread. Akin to the pics you see of scalpers with their loot. What an absolute knob. I won't link it here as it will only give this 'influencer' more oxygen.

    Not yet, I'd suggest going to the KMART website, clicking on one of the figures and using the "Find in store" button, you should be able to check if any of your local KMARTs have them.

    Yep. Kmart Northland up in Preston. Took a long while but they're in the state.

    Studio Series 89 Thundercracker and SG Blaster sighted at EBGames Morayfield. One of the former, two of the latter.

    Also finding weirdness with how the stock is displayed at JB. I had initially thought it was down to just two shelves on a single stand, but there was another small section buried in the middle of the shelf behind it. Not sure if it's the middle of a re-shuffle or they just need better merchandisers. No actual change in stock (aside from there being less of it).

    KMart Morayfield had more Velocitron on the shelf. No Comsos for those hunting but there was a Clampdown right at the back.

    Kmart Keilor Down (VIC) has Velocitron in the back store room but the store manager refuses to bring them out until Monday. :rolleyes:  I should have tried to pull some strings with scomo. Pretty sure the clown secretly wears a sixth hat: Clown of Kmart.

    Well that's just peculiar. Was there any reasoning given for that commercially suspect decision?

    Everyone hates Mondays, so seeing new Transformers on a Monday could cheer someone up?
    I’m really reaching here, I don’t see a point in delaying them.

    Nope. I didn't bother to harrass the junior staff on the electronic comms thingy to his store manager.

    it's possible given that we got the amazon disk line, but i think that may have been amazon looking to get rid of stock that wouldnt sell.
