    Arrow AUS price comparison list 2011

    Regular store prices for the 7 major chains that stock toys in Australia.
    Post any missing or changed prices, and it will be added to this first post.

    A table may be added later when more of the gaps are filled.
    Anything with $? means it has been sighted there, but no price known yet.

    Prices are rounded to nearest dollar.

    Updated with Target and Toyworld prices.

    (already starting to see some significant pricing variations, so shop around if you can, especially with the early waves expected to be at all stores)
