That is quite cool, especially with the legends figures where have to pay 5 AUD instead of 5 USD :grin: . It's quite the bargain with the legends figures.

Dayum.. That's somewhat similar to what is going on in the states right now.. Target and TRU are having really good sales rightnow as well.. Even some local grocery stores are selling delxues for 7.99 USD.. The only retailer that isn't having a sale ( to my knowledge) is wal mart..

So very annoying.

The nearest Big W is an hour away, not a place I can check regularly or use to lay-by things.

The only thing close is K-Mart and they're apparently not doing Christmas lay-by on TF's. :-x

It seems that Kmart are trying their best to drive people to other stores sales. No real savings no lay-buy on many larger products and a smaller range of products than previous years.

To make matters worse I cashed in my rewards points to get a $50 K-Mart gift card specifically for this sale.

Here's hoping my Target Country ignores the majority of the Country stores and gets stock in the Country stores aren't suppose to get.

The sales are awesome the only problem is every time i go in they never have any stock and you can forget about them having any of the deluxe models on the shelf, Perth alway seems to get the shortest straw.
