Was just in Big W in Brisbane City today and they have some of the new sets on
the shelves. Namely:

the new pull back racers - 8380 to 8385 (picked up 8381 exo raider)
all the world city sets
a couple of the 4+ sets - the backhoe and police cruiser

I must say the World City set look good, and are reasonably priced - the rescue
helicopter sorely tempted me, and it was only about $28.

One weird thing about Big W though. They've had that Island Extreme Stunts
orange truck on the shelf for over a year, and not once have I seen the price
reduced on it - even when they're having a sale. It's the only store in the city
that still has it, but they seem content to let it sit there in perpetuity, and
not only that but they've got the nerve to put a big 'Everyday Low Price'
sticker on the shelf. I can wait...

Cheers,

Allister

PS. Toyworld in Carindale has the new catalogues - not sure about the other
Toyworlds - Carindale's seems to be a bit of a rogue store.

(...) Almost as much as a plane ticket then ;) (...) I've very rarely known Big W's to have sales at all... and they usually do have the best 'everyday' prices, so the sticker is partly justified (...) IIRC, Carindale is not a 'Mr Toys' Toyworld (...) (21 years ago, 26-Feb-04, to lugnet.loc.au)
