Aussies: TRU Ghouls Rule Halloween Event 27 Oct

I posted this in the Monster High discussion thread, but I think it got buried by a lot of other posts.

TRU in Australia are hosting a Halloween event at some of their stores. Saturday 27th October, once at 10am and another at 3pm. Apparently there's a few activities to do for the young ones, and if you pre-register your attendance you get some kind of gift (probably a goody bag). Only a few spots left tho

Some places have already run out of spots for certain sessions (as it's limited spots available). The only places that are completely full with bookings (as of this post date and time) are Campbelltown and Mt Gravatt.

Anyone planning on going?

Hope this turns out better than the Walmart scavenger hunt *snort*

I went today. It was really mainly a kids' event.
From what I saw, a couple of color-ins, then they wrapped each other in toilet paper to do a mummy dress-up and tore it off. Then it was trick-or-treat which was basically following staff around the store to collect various candy that you got to keep (this one was mandatory if you wanted to get anything). Everyone whom participated got a certificate.
There was a free raffle to win a copy of the Ghouls Rule DVD (which I thought was a great idea) and then the 'gift' - rubber Monster High wristbands and a Ghouls Rule flyer - were given out.
All in all it was pretty good, better than Walmart.
I'm surprised there was no smaller stationary given out such as stickers tho. There weren't any sales on Monster High either, everything was still full price, which I thought a bit odd for a promotional event. I kinda found it tiring to stay around the whole time to get what I had registered for though it was a great occasion for the young kids.

Wow that does sound so MUCH BETTER than the one at Walmart.

I'm somewhat shocked at what I've heard happened there really, but it seems TRU (and Mattel, though I don't know how involved they were) made the effort to make the event pretty fun
