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.

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.

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.
