Parents cause frenzy at Big W toy sale

It was MANIC - by Simran Popal
  • 20 Jun 2019

Parents gone wild! The annual Big W toy sale mania had parents manic as they scrambled over one another to fill their trolleys. 

A total frenzy! Watch as these eager mums rush into the toy sale as soon as the doors open

Customers were prepping 6-months ahead of Christmas for their gifts as they lined up before midnight ready for the sale to commence on Thursday.

Photos and videos began to emerge across social media showing parents plunge over each other to catch the ultimate bargain. Some even described the chaos as "a total sh*t show".

“Staff were lovely... were even running around getting toys for people. Some of the customers on the other hand need to learn how to respect others,” a person posted in a Big W fan page on Facebook.

Unfortunately many people were out of luck for this years craze expressing their anger towards those who lined up in the middle of the night. 

“How sad to see pics of kids at the toy sale at midnight,” one mum wrote on Facebook.

Despite the clashes, several customers were beyond satisfied with their purchases as they left the sale with multiple trolleys stacked up with goods.

"2.5 hour drive here, just leaving now. 2.5 hours drive home,” one mum wrote, sharing a photo of her two full trolleys.
