I didn't remember this sighting when I saw this on Amazon Australia last month, and I purchased it, as I thought it would go well with my original 80s He-man... and it made me realise that it has almost been 40 years since I was first exposed to MOTU toys (in 1983).
The ironic thing is, that even though I was exposed to MOTU before Transformers, I never owned a MOTU toy as a kid. I just had friends and cousins who had MOTU toys that I played with.
None of the Gold Coast Toyworld Stores have stock of the new MOTU Wave 10…. Just plenty of wave 1 he-man and skeletons, battle cats and castle grey skulls. Not clear if they’ve been cleared out by scalpers (quite a few listed on eBay for local sellers), or just didn’t get any in. The Toyworld stores don’t ever know what stock they’re getting either.
If we’re lucky, it will eventually turn up at Toyworld and Big W stores. Keep checking your locals, I guess.
On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
My wave 10 toys were dispatched from Hobart, it turns out. I expect people are buying online rather than in store.
It was an impulse buy for me, I knew it was on Amazon, and was planning to order, happy to see at retail, at the time the price was just about the same. I never had any Motu toys, I just missed out, I don’t remember see them physically in a shop, but plenty of memories of the commercials, catalogues and cartoon series.
Big W Belmont - restock of Skeletor and 1x Pig Head (from Sun Man). I will post a pic later. EDIT: Pic added.

Skeletors are on clearance for $13 at BigW by the way.
Big W Garden City had a few origins Pig Head,. Also a new wave of Masterverse , Jitsu, Battle Armor He Man, Sun Man, and He-Ro. I picked up a couple of figures as I don’t really want to be completist. Hopefully they restock a couple of times.
Big W Belmont - 1x Mantenna. Also special edition (not sure what they're called - look like the origin toys with different accessories) He-man and Skeletor. EDIT: pic added and forgot to mention that a Pig-Head was still there.
