A very good idea! I found Undertow, Heavythread and Skyhammer in a very random, out of the way drive to Bass Hill Woolies in Sydney.

I've been living/working in the CBD, never really have a chance as stock clear out too quickly!
PCC are awesome little guys! Most of them are quite sturdy, well painted enough, comes with a minicon weapon (awesome ^2), and they have old-school head sculps (awesome ^3)!
If you use the Big W iPhone App, you can buy certain things NOW, before midnight. I was able to get my son the razor scooter he wanted. The Lego Super Star Destroyer can be purchased now too. Anything that's a "Hot Buy" basically as sale prices haven't kicked in.
You can't just search the app though. Choose the catalog on the home screen, use the slider to get to the page you want, then tap Product List, and you can basically add any item from that page to your list that way.
Wave 3... That's a shame. Those were released back 20 months ago. Woolies got Wave 4, and we still haven't seen Wave 5 here yet.
At least the Wave 3 figures are more easy to find this time, as Toyworld seemed to be the main source last time.

If the catalogue doesn't say "save $X", it is most likely a regular price that applies as soon as they get the stock.
If there is a saving or sale price, it won't be that advertised price until the catalogue starts. If you find it is already at that price, it won't be any cheaper, as that is the advertised sale price.
Hang on... hold everything!
Did BigW bring their sale forward a week to compete with Target's sale?
I see on their website that it starts today (21st), instead of the 28th (as it is printed on the catalogue).
Or is it just the online purchases that have the catalogue prices, but in-store prices don't change until the 28th? If so, that could be very confusing.
I "think" it's online sales only Griff. Could be mistaken.
Yeah, I edited my post above yours to wonder that as well (before I saw your reply).
I think that may be the case - the catalogue specials start today on the website, but we have to wait another 7 days to get those specials in store.
