    The were lots of people at the grand opening of this store today. The store is worth visiting if you're after wave 3 prime masters or The Last Knight Dragonstorm as I don't think any other store on the Gold Coast has them at the moment. This store does offer price matching.


    The Optimus statue from Toys R Us Robina has a new home at this store.

    Power of the Primes

    Voyager: Hun-gurrr, Elita-1 $50
    Leader: Rodimus Prime $80

    Studio Series

    Voyager: Megatron, Brawl $50

    They've also upload a video on their facebook page showing a walk around of the new store: https://www.facebook.com/toymatetoys...8169697152947/

    Wow, this store looks amazing! I wouldn't complain if they started a store in my neck of the woods.

    Thanks for all that great info and pics Convoid. If I wasn't so busy this weekend, I was wanting to go down there myself... but will have to aim for next weekend instead.
    It's 50 minutes from Garden City (my usual toy hunting grounds), so is a bit of a drive, but it is next to the SE Freeway (making it quick and easy once you get on it, running all the way from the Brisbane CBD), in a shopping centre that is huge, with lots of other things to do, including several other stores with toys to check out at the same time.

    Unfortunately, I think that might end up being the only store for those in Brisbane and GC for Dragonstorm, as it has only been reported so far at Toymate and the non-MRToys Toyworlds (all 22 of the Toyworlds in Brisbane, Gold Coast and the southern end of the Sunshine Coast are owned by the Mr Toys company, and they don't always have the same stock, or prices, as normal Toyworld stores).


    The video in the header of their facebook page is amazing - if anyone in Sydney is reading this, which store is it?
    It makes me think of the really big TRU stores I've seen overseas... set up to make you want to just keep walking around the store. (unlike most Toyworld stores, which just has rows of shelves to the ceiling cramming in as much stock per square meter, looking more like a dirty warehouse than a kids toystore)

    For legends, they have all the characters shown on the left and middle box except Thor. For the right box, they only have Spiderman and Captain America.

    The Marvel section:

    Terribly difficult to find. The google map is for the postal address. It's located in "The Kitchens" near Coles, but is upstairs. Big floor space, light on new toys except Cyberverse and at a high price point. Lots of clearance RiD though
    On the lookout for MISB Headmaster Highbrow, Takara or Hasbro. I'm sure I could make you a sweet deal!
