    I just wish the rest of SS86 and Kingdom would also hurry up in getting here.

    And the other half of earthrise! Really wish we had a retailer who was willing to pick up more of the exclusive ones too

    Has the 3rd wave of Earthrise released here yet? i saw some people selling wave 3 figures on trademe but not sure if they were sourced locally.

    Also based on previous posts looks like I've missed out on bumblebee - I hadn't seen one anywhere here in Wellington but it was available in AKL Kmart stores?

    So glad I found this forum - a huge G1 transformers fan and love this new WFC line!

    I found Netflix Bumblebee, Elita-1, Red Alert and Wheel Jack maybe a week before Christmas at Kmart Porirua? You might still have a chance as I noticed another 5 Elita-1s showing up there. As far as Wave 3 ER I've got a Megatron on my shelf (and know there where two more of them sitting at The Warehouse Porirua last week) and I did see Quintesson Judge ONCE but it almost seems like that was a weird one off stock shipment that got put out far too early.

    I'll try to remember to keep an eye out for you!

    Thank you! much appreciated! will obviously have to go and check more frequently and it sounds like the stock levels on the Kmart and Warehouse websites are not reliable indicators of what they have.

    I found a random Siege Megatron at The Warehouse Porirua yesterday and a SS86 Hot Rod at Kmart Porirua - neither of which were showing in stock on their websites.

    Yeah I wouldn't trust the website for either of them

    Kmart for example I picked up wave 1 of seige two months early and they didn't even have the SKUs loaded in the system so they sold them to me at a cheaper price! (They also dont individually list the different bots anyway so it's a shot in the dark if you are after someone specific)

    There were two Studio 86 Hot Rods in Kmart Porirua tonight. If anyone outside Wellington wants one for their collection I can go back tomorrow and see if there is still one there.

    Hey @Rynz I got the last Hot Rod for you. PM me to arrange payment and shipping.

    If anyone can help me out with a Netflix Bumblebee or Studio Series Jazz that would be much appreciated!

    Also showing up online but probably best wait for one of their "sales". Hopefully they hurry up on getting Grimlock out too.

    Toyworld Sylvia Park has all the Studio 86 Voyagers and Deluxes, looks like 4-6 of each.

    Kmart Sylvia Park has Netflix figures, I saw a ton of Impactors, a couple of Elitas and Wheeljacks, at least one Bumblebee. They have also got Netflix Optimus and Soundwave being unpacked as I’m writing this.
