Toyworld Tauranga not too bad, although no 3 3/4 figures at all, coming in this afternoon apparently!.
Nice lego sets & I don't get this, but got like another 8 in stock of those big X-Wing toys that are still sitting on shelves everywhere, discounted to $50 I think.
Anyone ever seen the big hero's Falcon on sale in NZ?.
I tried looking for a Captain Phasma with no luck, do you know if these will be available in the black 6" series?
I really want one of these.

I managed to get a first order storm trooper in the 6"black series this morning. :)
At least that is one thing ticked off my list :D

I was at the Toyworld in Ballance street dressed in my Darth Vader costume.
Wanted to try and catch up with any of the other members but with all the customers around and trying to keep out of everyones way from their serious purchasing.
Lots of photos taken, unfortunately my camera was away for most of it.
I did get a pic afterwards with the staff and our other trooper on site Ross (mando costume).
I'll post a pic of us as soon as I can find my camera. :)

Three more waves of 6" this year. I'd be amazingly surprised if Phasma wasn't in one of them.

If you shopped at The Warehouse for Midnight Madness, be sure to check your receipt. They were running a till receipt promotion on the night, so each purchase on the night netted the buyer an additional coupon to use in a subsequent purchase. I am not sure if all receipts were the same or if there were random discounts, but mine conferred a 20% discount on any SW toy, valid from Monday Sept. 7th till the 22nd.

I plan on going back to grab Finn's speeder tomorrow. :)

Also, some people have been reporting that The Warehouse's BOGOHO offer, advertised for Sep 4th only, has been being honoured through to today as well (so far).
