Well how damn wrong was I!
Going to the Big W toy sale was kinda a bust but kinda not.
On the one hand, they had none of the four I really wanted (
Unicronus, Optimal and
SS Grimlock &
Blackout) as they only got a few of each and they sold out fast!
On the other hand, the main sales assistant turned out to be a Transformers fan and knew who I was
. Apparently he is not a member here but comes on here sometimes and through OzF has become a reader of my Blog and recognized me from all the photos on there
Anyway, he told me that they had only gotten two boxes of the four I was after (and of those he had grabbed one of each for himself) and the others had sold out super fast. He was kind enough to offer to check to see if they would get more in and if so put them aside for me, and in the meantime put me onto some $24 SS figures for myself and some $10 TR figures for my son. Nice bloke
Anyway, turns out they had one each of the four I wanted left at Big W in Bathurst so my mum-in-law grabbed them for me so got what I wanted in the end, just have to wait until she visits on Sunday
Oh, and in case he reads this thread:
