    Last week Kmart Footscray (VIC) didn't have Velocitron. Yesterday after work, only had Blurr, Diaclone van dude & Scourge. Yep, pudgy green & yellow dude got looted.

    That's nothing, my local store didn't even have them on the shelf and cosmos was gone.I asked the lady working there if there was any chance she could get some from out back since the site said they're in stock here and she said " I hope you're not here for the little green one" .

    managed to get all the others I wanted though, and that was after I headed there as soon as the site said they now had them in stock, had been checking pretty obsessively since all the other nearby stores had had them already.

    Well, there's at least one Kmart employee who bragged on Reddit about putting the lot on hold for himself before they left the stock-room. I doubt its an isolated incident.

    Legacy Red Cog, SS86 Wheelie, and SS86 Core Ratchet now spotted outside of ACT, so general availability should be a thing. Morayfield JB. Also spotted both SS86 Sludge and Legacy Blitzwing on shelves at long last, after they were made available to order online all those weeks (months?) ago.

    Check they aren't elsewhere. I mentioned a while back that Morayfield now has two "sections" of Transformers in with the pop culture stuff with no rhyme or reason as to what figures go where (there's a mix of SS and Legacy in both bits). I'd figured they'd get consolidated when more came in but they've just moved some over by the counter instead, while slightly expanding the older section to fit some more JP crossovers and Sludge.

    I'm gonna pop round to Kmart there later this week, gonna see what Velocitron stuff they have in stock.
    I'm also friends with someone who works at that Kmart, so I could ask her if there are any updates regarding any transformers stuff, if you guys would like?

    I'm good but thanks for the invitation. That's what I like about this community; people helping others.

    I wonder if the Legacy Blaster minus his little buddy is still on the shelves. And that's what I hate with the fandom; sticky fingers.
