Good Places in Australia to Buy From?
 
Anyone know any good shops? Most places like Target and Toyworld only have bits and pieces. I've never seen the Stealth Tech set so far.

Hey, even in Malaysia we only have wave 1 figures atm with dogpound/fishface/metalhead (wave 2???). I guess this part of the world is slower. What do u have in Australia atm?

Garreth 08-12-2013 01:18 AM

Newest things ive seen are the Ooze Throwers and the Chuckers.

Toys R Us is probably your best bet, check their online site...Im not interested(cant afford) the nick toys etc but Im really hoping they will stock the reissued party wagon/turtle van as its one item I would LOVE for my collection.

If they are larger than the basic series then those are the 6 inch classics. They have been out in the states for about a year now. There is actually a new wave coming out called the retro classics which are a re-issue of the 1987 original line- made from the original molds. These figures will be just slightly smaller than the current basics as they were back in the day. I didn't think they were due out in the states until next month but some have spotted them on Toys R Us shelves already.

Garreth 08-13-2013 09:53 AM

Haven't seen them in Brisbane. Have to look around some more. The classic ones are pretty expensive on the Toys R Us site.

@ Garreth

I'd suggest keeping an eye out on the forums at Ozfigurama:

http://ozfigurama.bigforumpro.com/

I think the most recent figures which have shown up down under was the wave with Snake Weed.

The Classics were also recently on sale at TRU for $16, although I think they're full price again. Hopefully they will be on sale again.

Garreth 08-14-2013 11:01 AM

Cheers bud.

We have all except fishface Rat king and that cockroach Terminator really would love to know why we have still have no fishface would have assumed he would have come with wave 2 but no love to know why.

Marksenad 08-15-2013 03:29 AM

Metalhead was a target exclusive, I thought fishface would have been but its been over 2 months and still nothing

Garreth 08-15-2013 10:34 AM

Gonna go check out some places. I just need a Ooze Chuckin Don, Metalhead, Cockroach Terminator, Fish Face and the Rat King.
