I'll buy that Optimus from you if you want to go that route instead of returning it.Quote:

Myer imho is a part of Oz, yes, I get that the retail landscape has changed and it seems to me international non-taxpaying corporations have taken over (#cough Amazon). When Myer opened in Townsville in the last eight years it was the best, great quality items but at a higher price, we were happy with that. They had items we couldn't get anywhere else and knew would last way longer.
We shouldn't crap on Myer right now, again imho. Youtube has recently realised the value of music on their medium, now they want to charge for YT premium to have no ads, this occurred around when Cobra Kai was released (I think) but going by the fact they released S1 and S2 free if you had the timing right their "premium" service was not well received. Myer, much like YT have not adjusted to the new model of retail.
As someone who has a seven year old daughter I have noticed that Myer's Mattel stock has some great sale prices, so these deals for the public would be coming from the company (Mattel) and not Myer. They have also had some mad TF products at insane prices but I think that comes down to them having too much stock, think Year of the whatever MP-10 Optimus Prime at $119 and even at $99 a few months later. We're toy nerds, their business model is a lot more complicated than we have any idea of.
Ah yes, Clearance pricing was always a double edged sword for me. Good price & trying to find one in minty box condition.
A mate’s wife use to work at Myer. She would let me know of upcoming toy sales. That’s what I miss.
I must be an OP magnet cos my first 2 came from Adelaide Myer!Quote:

I guess I'll find out but I don't think I can do it at a click-and-collect booth. Will have to wait for the big reopening (they give you 30 days from then).Quote:
