Not sure if they do (have checked Albany and Glenfield today).

The Armour Up figures appear to be Toyworld Exclusives according to the Toyworld app

Just checked out Farmers Tauranga. Impressive stocks still on shelves, lots of 3 3/4 figures incl 2 Captain Phasma's still there!.
Toyworld Tauranga not too bad, although no 3 3/4 figures at all, coming in this afternoon apparently!.
Nice lego sets & I don't get this, but got like another 8 in stock of those big X-Wing toys that are still sitting on shelves everywhere, discounted to $50 I think.
Anyone ever seen the big hero's Falcon on sale in NZ?.

When I was at Farmers in Lyall Bay, Wellington this morning they were still unpacking, but the clerk was kind enough to let me take a look at her product list because that's one I was after as well. Rey's Speeder and the Rebels Y-Wing mini-rig re-issue with Kanan are both in the Class 1 Deluxe vehicle assortment (distinct from the Class 1 assortment: Special Forces Speederbike & Walker, or Class 2: Finn's Speeder & FO Snowspeeder). That sku was on her list, suggesting they were expecting to have it. They hadn't yet uncovered it but there were still two pallets to unload so I left a name and number with them. I will post here if I hear from them that it has been stocked.

So far, to the best of my knowledge, the Class 1 Deluxe assortment has not appeared at The Warehouse, either, only Toyworld.

Nope, and I think this is why ...

Nope, as others have said, but plenty at Toyworlds (Sylvia Park has a good mountain of stock that includes vehicles).
