The big w's around my area (Perth South) never have stock around sale time. I assume the staff put them aside for friends (the shelves do have things that no-one wants like cyberverse and one step changers though).

My experience is the stock usually goes out as soon as it hits the store, it's not held back for the sale, so people have generally bought them by the time the sale starts.Quote:

So will you actually be able to CHOOSE which leader/voyager you want if you buy online or will it be more nonsense "Randomly selected" garbage that Aussie retailers do online?
Randomly selected. That's how their website works.Quote:

Another reasons why these big name department stores are failing to compete with international web retailers and failing in general.
Absolutely bizarre policy. Imagine buying fashion items or books online and being told you will get a random colour, style or title from that price point?
You can choose with things like Lego. They are obviously uniquely coded.
I am not sure what Mr Toys does to allow it. Possibly it makes an extra effort because it is a specialty store. The Lego example makes me wonder if it could be fixed at the Hasbro end.
Because they bother to uniquely catalog into their system. Which isn't hard, just a little extra effort that will work wonders for customer satisfaction.Quote:
