Do those everyday reward cards still work at big w? Haven't used them there since they stopped giving points early this year.Quote:

Is anyone saw Lego ghostbusters fire house in QLD, my wife crazy wants it. Evern we have been to runaway bay hunt the big W and got my FM.Quote:

No Fort max or Victorion sighted at Rouse Hill. Not much Transformers there at all really. Big W had a few RID Legions and Target had a few CW Legends.
Didn't see any tf's or the ghostbusters lego at bigw Strathpine yesterday. We'll see come next Thursday though. :)
BIG W mid year toy sale catalogue came in mail today.
Fort max (and Victorion) are in there.
Victorian at $150 (what a steal!)
Fort Max at $250.

I'll be paying off on layby as soon as I can find one in WA, as I'm broke.
still haven't seen a fort max at my local bigw, but on the other hand there was easily 10-20 pallets of various toys being unloaded at the time.
Not sure if it's been mentioned as I'm not interested in Fort Max, but Myer has it in next weeks catalogue for $269.95. I know it's dearer than BigW but it may be a better option for some people here. Price match maybe?:)
According to their Pricing Policy, Big W must have the toy in stock and ready for immediate sale... which is kinda silly because if Big W already has the toy in stock, then I would've gone straight there to buy it instead of Myer! :rolleyes: Even if I found the toy at Myer first, you have to show them Big W's catalogue and then get them to call Big W to confirm that it's in stock blah blah blah... I might as well just walk over to Big W and just freakin' buy the toy from them.
I can understand them not price matching an item that's not been in stock for a long time, but surely if it's only recently sold out then they might consider price matching. Whatever... their loss. :rolleyes:
First rule of selling.... It's all about... Location location LOCATION!!!!Quote:

Can I have some of pallets to sell on ebay please? I can come round this afternoon. This IS gumtree right? Those deals always work out.Quote:

Where can I find that catalogue? Need a back-up plan in case Big W doesn't pull through :PQuote:

Checked out Penrith today, nothing out that is big like FM or Victorian. So asked the service counter and the lady said that all the expensive stuff is likely to be out the back as they're going to be put out exactly at 12pm Wednesday night.
I couldn't get to Tweed City Big W over the weekend, but today all the toy sale toys were out, but there were big empty gaps where Fortress Maximus and the Ghostbusters HQ should be, so either scalpers/collectors already grabbed them, or they're following the rules and not putting them out yet (not likely, as all their Devastators were gone before last year's sale). Still really hope I can grab one, at least they had a few Victorions waiting for the price drop which I'll get.
That's what I was repeatedly told by every Big W store that I called about CW Devastator... and we all know how that turned out! :rolleyes:Quote:

I could have kept looking for more BIG W ones, but with the amount you spend on fuel going north of the city and all over - not worth it. And Freo Toyworld is a 20 min drive for me.
I asked them earlier if they would get in the Titan Max, and I've asked several times and they just say "we don't know". So Big W it is for me, especially seeing as I can pay him off over several months leaving some $$$ to pick up the upcoming Titans Returns deluxe/voyager scale figures.
Myer have Fort Max online now at sale price $269.95. If you are a Myer One member, enter code TOYS10 for 10% off. Which makes it cheaper than BigWs catalogue price.:)
So I was in Myers today and apparently they are having a toy sale on Wednesday. I asked if they'd match Big W price on FortMax, they said yes but only if he's in stock.
Awesome!!! You saved me from the Hunt! Cheaper than Big W? Amazing... although I'm sure if I waited he will drop in price eventually... wish I jumped on the premium collectors $169... so cheap... hummed and hard... and missed it.Quote:

When is the toys code valid, as I haven't seen an email about it yet.Quote:

Thanks for the heads up on Mighty Ape, just ordered my Fort Max from there - still 3 left at the moment! Also, they price beat Big W on Victorion at $148 (save $1!) with no extra cost to ship ($5 flat rate).Quote:

Man thanks so much, ordered one just now. Cheaper than BIG W and I don't have to waste time and fuel going all over the place to find one with the usual blank looks of "sorry we don't know?" "come back tomorrow?" "What's a Transformer, I've never heard of that?" etc etc.Quote:
