New TRU locations?

Best thing about the north lakes one is it's close to ikea which means $1 hot dogs.

Just saw a poster a Blacktown Westpoint Bus Interchage saying Toys R Us Marsden Park will be open Sat 25th November

Woah, I forgot about this and looked it up, the north lakes one seems to be slated for tomorrow. I'm there for sure.

Well, what an opening. The car park was already at about 90% when we arrived just on 9am, holy moly, if only masters saw that kind of turn out they'd still be open. I laughed my butt off. 97.3 fm was there too, maybe that's how they announced it opening, I still couldn't get over how many people were there, I must have missed some sort of announcement it was opening. I actually did as per my post above, it was quite accidental I saw it was open today.

Get inside the main "mall", they have a switch back about 100 meters long up/down packed. Took about 40 minutes before we actually got in. The store itself is well sized, probably 75-80% the size of the Aspley one. Sadly they had no newer titan returns like blitzwing, dammit. They had loads of broadsides instead. But, they did have quite a lot of shufflers, got one.

Seems it's the only store there so far, lots of other fit outs were still under construction.

The Toowoomba store opens on the 16th (Saturday) at 9am... which will probably have some sort of fanfare.

I have a friend who lives in Toowoomba who will be psyched to have a TRU near him!
