Does anyone know of a store that I could purchase the "War of the Dragon Queen" booster pack? Keep in mind the following criteria:
- Must be in the Melbourne area (or accessible by train from Spencer St or Flinders St).
- Must still stock "War of the Dragon Queen" booster packs.
- I've already checked "Mind Games" on Swanston Street, and they no longer stock "War of the Dragon Queen" packs.
- I don't have a credit card or Paypal account. My only means of purchasing goods is either physically going to the store myself, or ordering C.O.D.
- Also, if they stock "Giants of Legend" booster packs, that's a bonus.

Thanks in advance for any help!

I've never been to Australia, but I've checked two different countries: the Philippines and Singapore. From what I know, the Philippines gets its stock from Singapore, which gets its stock from Australia. Neither has WotDQ in stock any more. The sets have been out of production for a while. Your best bet is looking for actual collectors who are willing to sell.

For what it's worth, I have lots of trouble getting minis as well.

Your best bet would be to try Ebay.
You can purchase things C.O.D. or bank deposit express there so you don't need paypal or a credit card.

Bah, they only have international sellers, and they're only selling in bulk. Guess I'm out of options. :smallfrown:

Try online Australian (Victorian) forums for gaming groups in your area. Local uni societies focused on gaming might be an idea as well. Someone will know if it is even possible to get hold of what you are after.

Interesting. Where might I find said forums?

You could also try the Dungeon of Magic (http://www.dungeonofmagic.com.au/) - they sometimes have stock of older boosters sets, as well as loose minis.

It surprises me that Mind Games don't have any - I go in there pretty regularly, and I could've sworn I saw some WotDQ boxes recently...

Not to familiar with the layout of Melbourne, only having been there twice, but this place (http://www.milsims.com.au/index.php?main_page=contact_us&zenid=o21c7i8i9l73862u95e6fisst1) might be able to help you out.

I sent Mind Games an email a few days back and they confirmed that they no longer stock them. :smallfrown:

Thanks for the help everyone! I'll be sure to check out the links you've provided.

Gamesparadise.com.au has them listed (http://www.gamesparadise.com.au/product_view.asp?cparent=130&cid=132&pid=1244). But they are in NSW. Though, they are pretty friendly, so shoot them an email about alternative payments.
