Why don't you guys come up to the Coast for one?![]()
Ah, I remember the days of ogling the original Zoids on Target's shelves in Toowoomba, always wanting but never buying. Damn I wanted that Brachiosaurus.
Jay and I have discussed a meet on the Coast, and I've optioned my unit as a potential location (not a big fan a shopping centre meets, especially if it's the Plaza in question). Just with how hectic everything is right now with trying to sort out work, and Jay having a new child and all, it's still up in the air as to when we'll have one.
I'm thinking mid march. My mom's in town until early march, and by then baby stuff should have stabilised and I can probably host. I'm super happy to do it early at another location like Sleeve's place though.
At 1pm today Big W Carindale had:
2 X Skystalker (1 left as I bought one)
3+ Scattorshot
3+ Divebomb
Still no new NEST voyagers anywhere.
Checked out some Chermside shops. Big W has wave 1 ROTF Deluxes as filler as well as the new packaging of Starscream (in bot mode, voyager), Kmart is looking pretty bare except for a Jolt or two, and Toyworld did have the NEST Deluxes (Lockdown, Brawn, Strike Mission Sideswipe, NEST Bumblebee).
Checked 5 more stores, and still no NEST toys...
BigW at Browns Plains and Kuraby had the new Starscream Voyager toys (packaged in robot mode). While Kmart Browns Plains, Target Browns Plains and Target Springwood all had nothing new (except the new SWTFs at the Targets).
Saw more Easter Merchandise at BigW, and will post pics in the News topic.
