Robb and I rocked up at about 10 past 10.
Driving into the industrial park we were joking about the amount of traffic and
wondering if all the cars were heading to the sale.
We weren't far wrong.
There was a line outside the sale, which doubled in length in the 15 mins it
took to get inside. Once inside a couple of the advertised lines had already
been cleaned out. Lots of Quatro and 4+ pirates, not so much of anything else.
There was only one thing that wasn't on the flyer (and hence on the list I
posted earlier) was The 4+pirate ship, reduced from $99ish to $50.
Inside the lines to pay took up most of the dock, people were more less shopping
from the checkout lines. There were plenty of staff around ripping open (brown
cardboard) boxes and stacking sets on top. Most of the staff were very surprised
at the reaction and the number of people.
It was unclear how much stock remains, particularly of lines that had been
emptied. Visitors later today and on Fri/Sat may have luck. Unlikely though.
If someone is going later and reads this before they go, For interstate shoppers
I was missing Target Bus packs, Paproka and Monkey belville sets, Vladek
encounters from Knights kingdom and mini star destroyers. If any of these show,
email (or purchase and I'll get the money to you asap).
