Was there just after 9am and scored an employee car park near the checkouts.
Would have been 8:30am but I just couldn't resist doing laps on the M2 :( They
let people in about 9:40am considering the 50+ crowd there already.
I made it through 3 times. Time from the end of the line to the cash checkout
was about 80 minutes on my last trip, about 30 minutes for the first two.
They also were 'pacing' the good stuff, so you might be lucky on Fri/Sat. I
noticed the mini buses were one of the sets they were putting out a box or two
at a time.
Target Knight Bus copacks, they had about 50 of them, scored 6 (all gone by
second time through).
Vladek encounters, not a chance, my number 1 set. They had 300+ first trip (I
used the first trip to get other peoples orders), second trip, I emptied the
pallet (about 10pm). Scored 146 of these.
Mini SDs, none. They had mini gunships and mini at-ats.
On the third trip, I picked up 3 Beville palace sets (50 minute wait to get back
in, hope the people I bought them for appreciate this!). Also emptied the last
of the mini buses, 126 total.
The target spiderman copacks come with a cheap plastic 'tub' and the #4097 200
basic bricks in a canister was marked down to $3.00. Still passed on them.
The HTO sport sets were just the cheap basketball promos (Kmart, $4.00) and the
technic hockey sets (BigW, $2/3).

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 28-Apr-05, to lugnet.loc.au)
