Why no Generations in Australia?

Does Toyworld count as a retailer like Kmart or Toys 'R' Us, or does it count as a discount, more individual store, such as independant comic shops or the Reject Shop? Items and prices seem to differ between most stores.

Toyworld is one of the seven major store chains that get a range of toys from toy companies like Hasbro.
The only difference to the other six is that Toyworld stores are a franchise of private owners (like McDonalds, Hungry Jacks and Australia Post), so prices can be different at each location... except when there is an advertised price or sale price or promotional offer, then everyone has to adhere to it.
Which means that there is a head office somewhere that the store owners communicate with, and coordinate product lines as well as recommended & advertised prices.

That makes sense now. They're a franchise.
