I think it depends on what you were looking to buy – I thought there were some good bargains.

I don’t know, I usually buy toys from the op shop, so any new toys on sale or not sent very appealing to me unless it’s something we really like! We did buy the Polly pocket retro 30th edition from big w during the toy sale.

I dont buy at shops or local anymore often. Because everything is so much cheaper online!

I agree the markdowns are getting smaller, I use to buy for my son when he was younger at every Big W toy sale, but last few years have not seen anything worthwhile, but then he only wants Lego. The Lego was not marked down enough, only a couple of the bigger sets had good markdowns.

At least there are other stores to buy from if people aren’t happy.

When I find a bargain I’m happy, but I’m really not going around searching and hunting for bargains and then be disappointed when I can’t find a bargain of my liking. I pay the price I’m happy to pay or otherwise I don’t buy. Simple.

Yes the prices are only like $10 saving but its great to have the long laybuy. Prices could have been a lot better but the longer laybuy makes it a lot easier for families at christmas time.
