thanks Jane,
I have only been to two Harris Scarfes, one in Campbelltown in Sydney, where
thinks were pretty expensive eg. Gungan sub $150 (rrp $136). The range was
fairly standard for a DJ's/Grace Bros department store.
The other one was in the southern part of Geelong in a shopping complex next
to the Bachhus Marsh road, it had half a dozen 6036's and some Aquazone stuff,
a lot of 1995 stuff (well it did), the store was like a flashback to the 60's,
in layout and loudspeaker voice, overly loud, promoting merchandise.
Jane, do these sales have a rhyme or reason, first Monday of each month etc.?
Was John Martins a single store or chain ?
How are the independent Toyworlds/Toy Kingdoms shaping up ?
