Toy Hunters: Do you call stores to find toys you're after?

[Mr Ed]

I generally find the smaller specialist toy shops know more. eg Toyworld.

I had a horrific experience at Target a few years ago.

I rang up the Brisbane CBD store and said I wanted a Legends Devastator

1. I said it is small
2. It is $40
3. It is not the big construciton devastator

Well they said they had one, but when I went to the lay buy counter to collect, they had the big construciton..... clearly they didnt listen to any of the three key points!

yes, specially if interstate like Toyworld:
Verify if item is on sale, in-stock and if they would be able to ship it to me
