    Big W is the Australian equivalent of Walmart, hence why we're getting a few of the 'Discover The Force' exclusives, if only we got 'em all

    I saw the Destroyer Droid with the awesome Force Field, had no cash at the time and haven't seen him again

    Interesting to know about Big W being the Australian clone of Walmart... Mystery solved

    I can confirm with you that Big W supplies the whole set of twelve Discover The Force figures in Australia too. They are randomly distributed in Big W stores but dont think they will last long...

    Yes the Destroyer Droid is awesome with a nice clear foggy shield arc accessory. I also noticed this figure packaging also doubles in size too

    We got them in New Zealand but at regular retail .. which is a shame otherwise I would have got more.

    Our stock actually came from Europe - 12 languages on the card

    How much did the exclusives cost in NZ? In Australia they cost. $9.83 each

    That is too expensive. The store in NZ should review the prices. I used to live in NZ almost half my life. On my last stay during the holidays I was shocked to see everything gone e.g food and living costs. I remember exclaiming aloud that the Mainland cheese block is more expensive than OZ that it should be the other way around that turned some heads at my direction. I went to the WareHouse to look for the new SW vintage line and some of the were like $24 each. I dropped them like they were on fire.

    Off topic, but for a NZer coming over to Australia -- Food prices over there are insane. Yeah they aren't that good over here either, but most thing I tried to pick up where more expensive and I went out of my way to find the really cheap items.
