XMas Target Watch

The trend over at the old Target has been interesting to watch as the holidays rush upon us. Firstly the giant end-cap of all Target Exclusive Star Wars items showed up about a week ago, and it has been quite popular! One of the items that they are having great trouble keeping in stock at all is the Galactic Heroes multi-pack with Jabba, and the one with the X-Wing is a close second. These sets contain so many figures for your dollar that they are both a good deal, and another fantastic presentation by Hasbro.

Also enticing is the Tie Bomber Target Exclusive. This is one awesome looking ship, and if not for my desperate attempts to keep from purchasing Star Wars figures, as it is a never ending money pit, I am certain that one would already be on display in the Preserve. If you are a Star Wars collector, then head on down to your Target and look for these Exclusives. While they're doing a surprisingly good job of keeping the shelves full, it's clear that there is daily turn-over, at least in part, so nearer to the Big Day this stuff will, I'm sure, evaporate.

In Transformers news, the three new Deluxe figures - Landmine, Camshaft and Cliffjumper - have been released in the US, in particular sighted in Queens NY according to TFW2005. Interestingly, the stock of Transformers figures of all types has finally been brought up to non-embarrassing and constantly replenished levels (better late than never I guess) and parents have finally caught on, as they are flying off the shelves. Not a single Deluxe figure currently remains in the store, so that should trigger the reorder-robot and we might see the three new figures if we maintain the ol' diligence.

Lastly, following up with a previous eBay Watch, that 4-player sit down pinball machine managed to end at a reasonably decent price, despite being DOA. Nice to see that the holiday cheer raises all ships.
