Ted Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 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.) Quote

Furious_george Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 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. Quote
Ted Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Hahah surely its not that hard to piece together. Considering its an exclusive....Yup Big W it is...just got to try my luck later after work...doubt there are any GBHQ left but you never know and might get lucky. Quote

Just gotta find that employee with the magical key to the "cage". And $318 for a Sandcrawler? Mad not to. Edited July 18, 2016 by Furious_george Quote
jomandybri Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 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 Quote

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. 1 Quote

whoisbiggles Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Snagged a 75912 Porsche 911 GT Finish Line for $44 (50% off rrp) from Big W this arvo. Hoping this means that the first wave of speed champs is nearly done. Quote

ED-209 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 Right. Got it! It was the most attractive looking set there. Quote
ED-209 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 ...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? 1 Quote

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). 1 Quote
