North Rocks is closer to you. I was there on Monday and they had the new RiD Warriors.

Until 1987, most of my TFs came from Roselands; Toyworld, Target and Grace Bros. In 1988 we moved to Castle Hill, and from then a good chunk of my TFs came from Kmart Castle Hill.

Gah... Machine Wars! I imported that entire line from the U.S. to Japan (whereas I was living at the time) because initially they were a U.S. KB Toys and Kay Bee exclusive line. Then when I moved back to Australia, I shipped all my TFs back (in many BIG boxes), including all of my MWs. It was cool for a while, but then in 1999 MW came out here and shelfwarmed badly, then, as you've rightly recalled, were discounted. Was it Kmart who had the exclusive MW Versus Sets*?

^Correct. Cadmium yellow ≠ orange.
