Did you end up finding Frosty. Our Target store here at in Melbourne (Chadstone) has a few in stock. Sometimes with the "Cars" cars we are a bit behind the official release date to when the stores stock them.

Maybe they will start showing up in your local stores soon.

Just picked up one of these sets in Walmart while I'm over here in the US. They still have a couple on the shelves.

Because we've been forgotten. They all just think Aussies are fat, lazy drunks. By my estimate, technology that was invented elsewhere, housing-everything related, the automotive industry and cars made elsewhere, we are about 7 or 8 years behind everyone else. Unless something is made here, we have to wait 3 times longer than everywhere else to even hear about it. All the really rich people go to france and italy. They don't go to australia because they take everyone elses word for it. A word that is nothing but a stereotype for almost anywhere you'll find people: It's too hot, the bugs and animals will all kill you and there is nothing here but red dirt. Miniworld for instance-completely unrelated to that but related to minis. Anyway without a subscription, just buying it from the new agents(should you be able to find one that stocks it)costs 5 times as much and you're 3 issues behind. Forgive me if this comes off as a complaint but it's true. They have forgotten Australia exists. NSW isn't so bad with it being more of a tourist attraction than the rest of Australia. They are about 2 years behind. Still, everything is bigger down there. The negative number in the winter for one. The mini scene and other hobby scenes as well.

It's the truth. Australia is behind in every aspect of life except Uranium but then that's not really relevant to most of our lives is it? Anyway it isn't behind because of the people here or the environment. The amount of people living in england is decreasing every year and the amount of people here is INcreasing. People want to live here. It's just the people who think of all the technology and gadgets that change the way we live, have forgotten about australia. It has been behind ever since the start of history. First used to dump all of everyone else's convicts because they didn't want them in their own countries. Just a place to dump all the stuff that isn't the latest anymore. It's been fighting it's way back ever since. Because of this, America going with the big muscle cars and england going with the luxury and sporty roadsters. When it became apparent that people wanted to see a companies latest model, that company turned to the places where everyone was looking, just for the sake of getting more money. If you think about it, it makes sense.

It said a lot when the US Ambassador to Australian took time out of his day to beseech the Australian public to please, please stop pirating Game of Thrones... Out of everything the lead diplomat consul to the most significant trade partner could possibly have to do in a day...
