Okay, since you really want my humble little opinion...

I have very firm doubts about Wave 3 Spychangers because of them being, as you so succinctly put it, "colossal peg-warmers", though if any store is most unlikely to get them it'll be Target. Don't ask me why, but since they were the only store to carry the Wave 2 Spychangers here in Melbourne I think another store would get the Third Wave.

I think we'll have decent odds of seeing the Super Autobot Brothers since they'll be in the new deluxe cases along with the Build Team and maybe Storm Jet (the BM Jetstorm repaint).

I think we have slim to no chance of seeing any Megas here, despite the cartoon being on channel 10. I think the show would have to reach Dragonball Z type rotation before any Megas come out here. Now I'm really glad I ordered a case of Bullet Team & Predacon Megas for my birthday.

I'm of two minds about the status of Galvatron. I keep hearing rumors of it showing up, and it's possible some stores are sitting on a case of Megatron & Galvatron toys, but Megatron isn't really selling as briskly as he should so there's good reason for doubt.

As for Super Scourge, I'd love to believe that he might show up in Australian Toys 'R' Us stores, and given the unpredictability of US toy store exclusives it's possible, but I'm not gonna make any bets until the toy is released overseas. Although many chain store exclusives show up at Toy Kingdom, I doubt any Australian store will buy Scourge except Toys 'R' Us.

As for the minefield that is the Fort Max debate… well, I'm not even getting into it. If it comes out it comes out. If it doesn't we're no worse off.

In conclusion the only toys I think we have good chance of seeing here are new Deluxes because they're inexpensive and selling extremely well.
