    I don't mean anything bad however the last time we have a catalogue and the toy never made it here in wa with the whole calling around and database not being correct with instances -5 in their system because they record in a book and not in the system.

    I was finally offered one but ages later as PC offered the UW version this month. And it was like $15 more.

    PC aside, I am more talking about how bigw manages the item. They were calling it sold out when they never touch the shelves.
    Needless to say online web was no better.

    Not true, it did make it on to shelves in some bigws in Wa, just didn't last long. But yes, it was frustrating and understocked.

    Saying that when it did made it to the shelves they forgot to put aside for the reserves

    The whole purpose of the catalogue is to show people is available now from this date. Not pending to be delivered. A lot of unnecessary calls.
