They "should" be in some newsagents and selected Caltex service stations.
That said ... newsagents have not received any stock in NSW so far.
Caltex is a bit hit and miss - some stations have received a box, others have not. Any of the Woolworths Caltex locations do not seem to be stocking the product, but stand-alone Caltex outlets (ie: not co-branded stores) are your best chances.
I have spoken with a couple of newsagents that i deal with regularly, and they are unsure of when their stock will arrive. Deliveries into the TLA warehouse was delayed, but some dealers have had stock for over a week now, so the product is "here" ... just extremely hard to find out in the real world!!

Will be in Newsagents Monday, I downloaded my deliveries earlier today and it is showing 8 boxes a heap of albums and a few starters.
Not sure how many most will get but the allocation on boxes is double what I normally receive for NRL Traders but down on starters.

My newsagents got plenty of folders, 2 boxes and 4 boosters.
I grabbed the boosters.
Thankfully I did...my luck was insane. Mitch Johnson Legend 15/120.
2 Rubies in 1 pack too, as well as another ruby. [8 packs in total].
I think I'm done now.
Killing it, well done, glad to see the good guys having luck. No boxes and starters in QLD yet, the starters seemed packed though. I grabbed 7 from Michael for a Short Authentic, 2 rubies and s couple of box hits.

@Brendan_B Thanks mate. I seriously am pinching myself.
All my local Caltex branded service stations have a box of 24 on their counters.
Luckily, my closest hasn't sold any, so I just ended up buying the 24 packets - over 4 visits - to make a set.
My newsagents knows I like cards, so she got and kept the 4 boosters. Was going to only take 2, just to put away...but glad I opened them.
So of 32 packets I've hit two sigs. 3 rubies (2 in one packet!!!). Never had either hit in NRL. So for now, I'm happy to have a full common set and 2 sigs.
Sigs NFS also.

After Spending truck loads on AFL & NRL cards this year, I was going to give cricket a miss. The local newsagents only got given 5 starter packs and that's it 
So curiosity killed the cat so to speak. For cricket and what you get, affordable price nice cards & the parallels with the middle look really nice. Hope TLA can bring some respect and stability into the cricketing market as I feel for the cricket fanatics that have been through hell with their sport and collecting. The Ruby mojos are my favourite (hit a Joe Burns), I hope the prices don't plato to much for the cricket fans.
Fingers crossed someone picks up the soccer.

2 Rubies in 1 packet?! That is amazing!!! Lets hope that ratio repeats itself elsewhere!!

Yep. For someone who has never hit one, to get two in one packet was fantastic. 3 in 2 days even more so.
Have to say the albums are crap, only reason to buy one is to have it in the collection and to get the checklist. You certainly wouldn't use it to store any cards. Didnt bust anything today but wife and daughter were in the shop and couldnt help but bust a couple of packs. lol
