Anyone have any luck picking up any fabled GBHQ @ 20% off?


I thought GBHQ were only available for that short period of BigW toy sale, it was like gone after the 1st day or maybe up to the 3rd day of that toy sale. If lucky, we might see it make its apperance on the shelves again before Xmas. (Around my area, they didn't even make it to the shelves. They were stored at the back of Big W until a customer ask for it.)

Your find inspired me ,so I headed down to my local country BigW for a look. Nothing much on the shelves but when I asked about what was out the back, out came a minty box UCS Sandcrawler at 20% off. :)

Didnt have any GBHQ's left but I'm not keen on hanging onto that for years waiting for it to retire anyway.

Also found a battle on takodana for $50 cause the box was a bit squashed.

Just gotta find that employee with the magical key to the "cage". And $318 for a Sandcrawler? Mad not to. :)

Called half a dozen stores in my local area, no luck on any of the three large sets. Also just received my Myer Slave I order and one of them was opened, flaps missed, badly damaged box. Not happy! Called the service line and they offered me a $20 gift card or a refund, as they are fully OOS Australia-wide.

 

Also just received the Target toy sale catalogue, hardly a sale. Disappointing to say the least

Check out The Hut.com . Free shipping to oz and they're having a sale. Example, ISD's are about $110 au shipped. I'd buy some but I'm broke haha.

I checked the site, thanks for link, but do prices include or exclude VAT? 

 

And what's ISD?  Not 75055, right?

...and the IST has disappeared from the site. Be careful what you post, as many lurkers stalk this thread (or should it be "stalkers lurk..")

However, can anyone tell me what the deal with VAT is on these types of transactions?

If lurkers can get a deal on anything I find, good luck to them.

Not entirely sure considering I made my first transaction on there last night, but there's a button at the top that changes your currency to AUD. No tax payable, I assume (unless customs pulls it up entering the country).
