Speaking of moving Mr Toys, I spotted this in Carindale this evening. Looks like they might be pulling the same trick there, closing the one outside the centre and moving it inside.

They are returning! There used to be two Mr Toys Toyworld stores on level 2 of the Myer Centre. Around the same time, there was one on level A.Originally Posted by popculturepooka

Yeah I remember those days. The level 2 was so ramshackle... then they opened the game store straight across from it, which was awesome.
But I still think it's a bad move. The Myer Centre is on life support, and the higher you go up, the more closed and shuttered shops there are. There's no foot traffic, unlike on the Mall.

Guess they're looking to downsize their stores.
I remember putting a HFTD Starscream on layby at that Myer Centre store. Unfortunately, didn't go through with it but managed to get one 2 years ago.

Was the games store ('Computer Gamesworld', perhaps?) situated where the Income Tax Professionals is now?
Maybe the operating costs will be more favourable in the Myer Centre because it is so quiet up on level 2.

Cant say I recall the name sorry but there was definitely a games store Late 90's Early 2000's (owned by Mr Toys) directly across from the Toyworld on Level 2 there. Ahhh the good old days...

It was right across from the Mr Toys no? Or am I remembering wrong. But I'm fairly certain it was in front of one of the Myer entrances. Pretty sure it was still there around in 2009

Yeah, can't remember the name of the games store but it was directly opposite Mr Toys on Level 2. Whenever I was in the city I would stop on by, as they would sometimes have rare or harder to find games back then. That's back when gaming was "boutique" and I use to have to drive to Indroo just to pick up PS1 and Rare SNES games.Cant say I recall the name sorry but there was definitely a games store Late 90's Early 2000's (owned by Mr Toys) directly across from the Toyworld on Level 2 there.

The main Mr Toys Toyworld on level 2 was where Daiso is now. The Income Tax Professionals (ITP) is currently directly opposite Daiso. ITP is where the computer game store was located. Fairly sure it was called 'Gamesworld' or something similar. So we must be referring to the same computer game store on level 2. It was still open in the late 1990s, but not sure when it started or ended trading. Fun times.
Sorry to go way off topic.

Saw about 5 of the rodimus War for cybertron at Bigw today. They'll be like $108 or something like that on the Toy sale next week. Same as what looks like the 86 Grimlock in the catalog picture on the front page should be half price at $44. Seems to line up with being that toy as regular price is $88.
