They must have had a small stock a few weeks ago because I found a lone Paleotrex there

Never go to Target Buranda for action figure toys... EVER.
Not a single action figure of any kind from any toyline.
If this is one to be closed down, it wouldn't be a great loss.
Yesterday morning...
Myer CBD - Heaps of the Deluxe ss86 toys, but no Voyagers or Leaders.

Target CBD - Kingdom and diecast cars, but nothing else worth noting (no Retro Headmasters or even a shelf tag).

They do still have a decent toy section... a fair bit larger than Target Country stores that I've been to, but Buranda had all sorts of other toys (lego, girls toys, cars, toddler toys), just no Action Figure toys at all (like marvel, star wars, batman, transformers)... which smaller Target Country stores have had. It just seemed really strange that this one store was so determined not to have any boys action figure toys at all.
Buranda shopping centre just seemed to be a bit of a backwater for shopping, as I had found a corner of their Woolworths with old stock from the last four seasonal events (christmas, new years, australia day, valentines day).

I drop in to Buranda semi regularly. It is like they are aggressively ignoring some toy lines. The last TF were the Cyberverse Seekers and Quint packs. The last Quintesson went about a month ago. Even Lego is starting to dwindle now. I double checked to see if they are on the chopping block, but Buranda Target is one that is supposed to survive.
Garden City Kmart had a Paleotrex and Cheetor. Target had a Primal. Otherwise nothing new although I didn't go to Myer.
I went to Myer Friday. No restock there yet.
Still no SS Leaders @ Myer Maroochy.
Ipswich K mart is the only store in the area to have the Kingdom Deluxes. (Paleotrex, Cheetor, Black Arachnia and War Path) There was also 1 each of the core Optimus, Rattrap and Vertebreak. There is 1 SS leader scavenger at Ipswich Big W for anyone still chasing it.
Target Springwood (THUR 25 FEB) - A restock of the Kingdom Voyagers since my last visit on the 11th. No sign of Retro Headmasters or shelftag.

Kmart Sunnybank (FRI 26 FEB) - Since my last visit there on FEB 5th, they have already sold out all of the $10 Cyberverse Warriors they had, and half sold the restock (which is a different wave).
