I almost forget this thing, last year I had an idea of buying from a whole seller in Sydney:
I went to a toy wholeseller with my neighbour several times.He sometimes sells toys on ebay,so he got an account there years ago.
It is a big warehouse roughly the size of 3,4 basket ball court.Basicly is a oversized Toys R Us, except they don't have video games.
Their price was as follows last year:
DELUXE: 18.8 (I bought a Deluxe with dents on package for $11)
VOYAGE: 33.7
LEADER:65.something
Movie scene:27.something
Once I saw they put Cybertron Voyages for clearance:18.something
they purchase through a different channel from K-mart's,that's why they don't have Ultimate BBB when the movie was on, but they do have all the other TF
toys. The best thing there is you do't have to buy by boxes,if you only buy one table tennis ball, that's still ok.
I didn't know where exactly it was then,cos my neighbour drove the car. I always forget to ask about the whole seller after I moved. Until a few days ago I
ran into that old neighbour. I asked him about it. He doesn't do his toy Biz any more but he tell me the whole seller's name, it is "Ryan's toys", about 40
min away west from Sydney city.
here is their website

I asked them by email how I can buy from them, they said I need to setup an account there, they will need the folowing info to setup an account
Business Name
· Trading Name
· Business Address
· Delivery Address
· Contact Numbers
· Where you retail (shop front, online, eBay. please provide web address or username)
· ABN
· a little about your business
Anyone interested? We can find a trust worthy guy who has an ABN to make a group buy. The best thing about it is that we don't need to scout around and look for the Tfs we need, the whole seller has a large range and we can call before to make sure if the toys we are after are available. And of course, the price is lower.
But I don't know if it will affect the tax return of the ABN guy.
