Thanks to 2005 Boards member Starscream Gaga for reporting in our boards that the War For Cybertron: Siege Wave 1 is Out At Australian Retail.
Wave 1 Battlemasters, Deluxe & Voyager class were found at Toy World Gepps Cross in South Australia. No sign of Micromasters yet, but we are sure it’s just a matter of time for them to hit Australian shelves.
Happy hunting!

Right, time to go hunting.

Anyone know what the expected Australian retail price for Jetfire is going to be?

We kept hearing March for release here in New Zealand so I wasn't really expecting anything any time soon… then just randomly this weekend deluxes and Battle Masters started appearing in K-Marts here. The same store who spent the entire PotP run being absolutely useless, stocking next-to-nothing all year. Now those guys are the first to have Siege stuff on shelves for us.
Surprising, but a good surprise! Now I have Cog and my Target Masters and I'm sorted until wave 2!

Found Cog and Skytread today at a toyworld

Check Toyworld Central at Northland Shopping Centre, that's where I found 'em for those prices.
MechaMorphis
I still think that we down here in Melb are yet to receive them
Digger
Weird. I should check mine to see.

I just grabbed a Blowpipe from my local Toyworld… the SIEGE figures were actually normal prices. Deluxes at 35, Battle Masters at 10 and Voyagers at 50. Odd.

Thank you. That makes sense. I'm eager, but I can wait.

Big Bad Toy Store has them on preorder becasue they are restocking them…They\'ll probably come in around the end of the month; seems to be the pattern with them…at least on the stuff I order. I ordered mine from them in December when the initial preorder went up and they sold out right around the time I received my shipment.

I have a question. I've found Siege deluxe figures at a local Walmart, but no Voyagers. So I went to order them from Big Bad Toy store. I like the site, and they currently had far better prices than Amazon ($33 vs $50+ for Optimus). So I ordered the Optimus and Megatron bundle.
Now I'm realizing it says pre order. I thought BBTS would already have them in if they have hit Walmart? I guess my question is, does anyone have a clue when BBTS's wave 1 Voyagers are coming in? It say 1st quarter 2019. I'm keeping the pre order up either way, I was just curious if anyone had a rough idea.

Hehe, funny, cause here in California we have ONLY Micromasters and nothing else.
Verno
Heavens, no Haven't done that since… RID Optimus Prime.

For a second there I thought you were about to buy something that wasn't Beast Wars related haha.

They've had Predaking for a while now. I think he started appearing around November, but at $299 you'd be insane not to get him from Amazon.com.au at $215. I bought him last week- Prime trial gave him free next day delivery too.
Digger
Christ. My Myer still has elita, hun gurrr and fort max!
Protostar
POTP kinda went weird here, because Myers in Rundle Mall just got Predaking :v
Verno
Good to know. Just planning ahead.
Starscream Gaga
Robotkingdom is probably the best bet for Australians. You'll probably end up paying $15-20 more per Wave then regular retail, but its probably better then playing the "will they/won't they" game of us actually getting the figures.
Before my fellow Radelaide pals get too excited, there's probably not anymore Voyagers left. There were two of each when I was there but my brother and I both bought Megatron and I got an Optimus, so when I left there was just one Optimus on the shelf.
