    I saw one being bought before it even hit the shelf at a Kmart just after it opened, so I knew from then it's not gonna be an easy find

    Fair enough, thanks for the info!

    I was just curious as I've seen one store with 4 x Road Racer and 4 x Blurr, so thought maybe those cases never had any Cosmos to begin with.

    I'm still feeling like that's the case here in Adelaide, but good to know that some have at least made it into the country.

    Went to Kmart Watergardens the other day, they’ve got all of Velocitron Wave 1 except Cosmos and Scourge, despite Scourged being listed as “In Stock”.
    Saw SS86 Arcee there too.

    No to both. But I'm willing to bet that it has to come from American stock, which has only just reached US ports. It has to clear the ports, go to Hasbro warehouses, then be sent to Hasbro AU, and then on to EB and Zing. I would not expect it much earlier than Christmas.

    Huh... that's actually tempting for 12 and 13. Can't even match those prices when importing.

    Better yet, JB has Cybertron Metroplex for less than Amazon does. Wonder if Amazon will drop their price by $20-something for no apparent reason very shortly :)

    I have a story to tell. It's a good one... Yes.

    Today after work, Kmart Altona Gate (VIC) has two (2) each of Velocitron Blurr, Road Rocket & Diaclone Burn Out. Could be a restock??? No Cosmos or Clampdown though.

    Edit:
    Hey @Rocka5438. Kmart may be restocking Velocitron line.

    There's definitely restocks of the Velocitron stuff happening at Kmarts now.

    I went to Kmart in Watergardens today and they had plenty of Velocitron stuff on the shelves.
    Multiple Scourges, Overrides, Road Haulers.
    Blurrs. Road Rockets, Burnouts.
    and there WAS a Cosmos. but he came home with me. my search is finally over.
    Oddly, the only thing they didn't have was Clampdown.

    but yeah. restocks seem to be happening. so keep checking Kmarts and hope luck is on your side.

    Mmm, I've seen other reports of wave 2 from other parts of the country elsewhere. Think I'll have to pop by Kmart in the morning. Now, I don't actually want Shadowstrip, but will I be able to resist when I see it? Cos it looks pretty...
