Eldest sibling Sabre, 14, says she was ‘stoked’ to be one of the first kids in Australia to preview the toys and the hotly anticipated catalogue: “From the moment we got the mystery box at home, we knew this was going to be the best adventure! We had the best time doing all the challenges and finding treasure every step of the way.
“But whacking the pinata was the best bit. So cool to get our very own sneak peek at the first BIG W TOY MANIA catalogue!” says Sabre, who confesses the Laser X Two Player Laser Tag was going straight to the top of her Christmas wishlist.
The Norris Nuts were thrilled to get in and test all the toys on offer!
