Molten Hot Dog is at Big W.

We bought him tonight.

Nice. Thanks but i am stuck in the usa for another week. Hope he hangs around for a bit in store.

What's Big W, for us non Aussies?

Think of BigW as a smaller scale Walmart.

From what I've seen we've had no shortage of him at all. Target exclusives on the hand don't hang around for long. Did anyone see the single pack of Gnarly tree Rex for sale anywhere? When he came to lost islands, people were talking about him on the shelves, but I didn't find him.

Woolworths(supermarket) and Big W(department store) are one of the two big companies here that control the sale of nearly every day thing here including petrol and hardware and home wares.

The other company is Coles(supermarket) who has Target and Kmart(department stores) office supplies, petrol and hardware.

Target and Kmart here have no relationship to their US counterparts.

We can but dream of a Walmart with its exclusive releases and regular releases of things such as Molten Hot Dog. We get sold the basic figures and occasionally, like now, you see something special. I now have 2, Jade Flashwing I found in Target when they bought in a supply of Giants and now Molten Hot Dog.

GameStop is known as EB Games here but none of these shops are local so I only visit EB or a department store once a month so I probably miss out on a lot.

So i went to Gamestop store today in the mistaken belief they would have loads of skylanders. Uh nnh. They did not. Apart from the green swap force starter pack they had singles like mega ram spryo but no swapforce character singles. I was quite disappointed.

Pfft whats the point of being in the usa land of special skylandes if i cant buy any?
Back to Oz next week and fingers crossed molten hotdog is still around.

Oh, and polar whirlwind is available as a single at EB Games at the moment. Go forth and buy dear aussies. My partner got it yesterday.

I have to admit i didnt get to walmart. So perhaps tomorrow i will have better luck.

That is rotten luck. My 14yo keeps asking to go to America so he can stock up on all his missing toys, Skylanders and DVDs he has missed out on. I tell him postage is cheaper.
