Don't Hassle the Hoff! How great is that?!?!?!? A showbag dedicated to David Hasslehoff.

All it needs is some vouchers for a burger and it's totally complete!

Crash from Jindalee says:

I'm a sucker for Superhero stuff. There seems to be heaps of them this year too, what with Dark Knight and The Hulk dominating the big screens.

The series of Justice League bags look good too.

But my favourite has to be Marvel Heroes - fantastic value at only $10.

freaky from West End says:

It's gotta be Bertie Beetle! It's the best value bag at the show, despite its massive price increase from being only $1 when I was a kid to the outrageous $2 it is today. I don't know how kids afford it these days.
;)

Every year at the ekka we would spend virtually all our money, and when we got down to our last dollar we knew we could still get the ever reliable Bertie Beetle bag. Oh, the good ole days!

Actually, now I think about it, can you actually buy a Bertie Beetle chocolate bar anywhere other than at the ekka???

Yes you can buy bertie beetles in value bags from woolworths in the lollie section. I found them a few months ago.

freaky from West End says:

Thanks for the tip mummy - I'll definitely check that out!
