Saw yesterday at Sunnybank Woolies - an Ooshies pre-pack display with a couple of the Transformers 7-packs at half price for $5. And at the back of the store was a brand new pre-pack display of licensed Hasbro dog toys, including several of the Optimus dog toy that is in the Oz news section... on clearance for $7.20 (from $18), but only for the current sale week, so it might not actually be "clearance". At about 60% off, it does make it more tempting to buy that creepy-eyed thing as a novelty item.
Seeing the Ooshies was more than just a surprise for me (as they were made 4 years), because one of the two sets this display still had in the back of it was one set that I was missing to complete the Constructicons. It still meant being left with several figures that I didn't want or need just to get it though.
Yes! I remember that one now. Four at once, so close together.
That was a great time to be alive... going through the city from Uni, with the bus station surrounded by toy stores, comic stores and movie theatres. I remember spending a lot of my spare time between classes or before/after classes, in the city checking out the stores for toys and comics and seeing movies.
