Millions of Australian parents are ready to buy retro-inspired toys for their kids at this year’s toy craze sale, with pieces inspired by Jurassic Park and the soon-to-be-released new Buzz Lightyear movie.
The sale launched online on Tuesday, with thousands of parents logging into the Big W portal to purchase early Christmas gifts for their kids.
But not everyone is impressed by the changes in terms of sale this year, sneaky commissions on online purchases are a game changer for many.
The hottest toys of 2022 are out, and it’s definitely going to be a very nostalgic year for parents born in the ’90s.

People can now put jobs on hold using the online portal, but they must pay a service fee of $15 for each order.
The minimum spend on each order is $50 and ten percent of the total required cost is charged upfront. They can be canceled at any time for an additional $20 fee.
Disappointing catalog doesn’t find everything online for a stay so $15 parking fee? We’ve been duped again,” said one hapless job hunter.
There have also been some “glitches” since the popular sale started.
“Laptops and Apps tried not to select anything to add to cart. I’ve been online since 7am,” one stressed grandmother wrote.
‘Not to mention half of the toys I visited were only available in stores! Why offer an online pre-sale option if we can’t get half of the stuff out there? ‘ said another woman.
The onsite sale is expected to be as popular as ever, despite online sales giving tech geeks a two-day head start as the retailer waits for enthusiastic parents to load their cars in preparation for the crazy season.
