Yep, there are stores in/around Brisbane.

For some further info, the set is exclusive to this chain in Aus [like the
other boat in k-mart]. I BELIEVE orders were taken in Melbourne during the
toy fair [march] and it is scheduled to go into a catalogue towards the end
of the year. [Of course, it should arrive in the next month or so, but as
there are many different 'franchises' in this group, different stores/areas
may sell it at different times.]

Anyway, as you'll be down south around its release time, you should have a
chance of picking up one down here if the sale has started.

I hope this helps,

Benjamin Whytcross
