P.S. Look on the bright side - no need to fight the madding crowds on Thursday!!
Christmas toy sales are best avoided if at all possible - at least on the first
day :)

I have only found crowds at Target and it's literally wall to wall people (same
as the warehouse sale for those that went). It's not easy pushing a trolley
that's stacked 2-3 feet above the top while everyone you pass asks 'why are you
buying so many ?' and trying to avoid staff that say 'you can only buy 5'.

At 2003's sale, you had to stalk people in the car park for their trolley.
Serves me right for sleeping in 30 minutes.

I will get my hands on a BigW catalog tomorrow, so Thursday might still be a
rush to visit the 4 local stores.

not to prevent you from spending your money here, but I have to say this because
it's posts like the above that make me sick quite frankly. I'm 17. I have very
little income, and if I see something like this, I will want to buy 1 of each,
truck and car. when people (I'm not going to say like you, because there are
hundreds of people here on lugnet who do the same thing, and I'm not about to
prevent them enjoying their wealth) buy out all of a sale or clearance item, it
really annoys people like me, as we can't get something we would enjoy!
WHAT DO YOU FREAKIN' NEED 17 RED TRUCKS FOR?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Thank you for listening to my rant, I just hate seeing specials go out the
window because of greedy people. (the same applied to the star destroyer at DJ's
last year.)
