Anything 1/18 expected at Toys R Us or Target this season?

I'm guessing not, but just in case I've missed something....

Re: PTE Recons

Had a chance to check a BL in the Buffalo area plus one here in Rochester today. Not much on the shelves, and nothing new.

Re: Most Wanted, Most Regretted and the One that Got Away

Let's see...

Wish I'd gotten one of those black F/A-18s when then were released years ago.

Wish I hadn't sold off my Cobra helicopter.

Wish that 21C had made the Mig-21. Would have been awesome.

Re: M41 Walker Bulldog tank question

I still love this piece from 21C. Have one on display from when they first appeared at TRU (2000? 2001?) that I still "play" with from time to time. And in 2003 I picked up a second one of the 1st series, which is still in the box. Glad I did.

Re: merit Announcment

Great news on both! I may have to choose one or the other, in which case I'd go for the Harrier.

I have one of your Corner Ruins from several years ago and it's a great piece. Something similar to that would be fantastic.

Sorry. Hope this will change in later 2013.

Ah, perhaps there's hope!

Re: PTE Recons

Stopped in my closest BL today, looking for a specific gift for my wife. They didn't have that, but there was a pretty good selection of PTE items. Nothing that I needed at this point, but it was fun to see.

Not sure if I should be excited or not. If it's more than just a repaint, then I'm in. If it's just a repaint, then I'm out.

Re: Anything good showing up at TRU or Target this season?

I did end up going to one of our local Target stores last week, for other reasons. But of course, while I was there I made a point of checking out the toy aisles. Nothing of interest. It was very depressing. I'm not even going to bother going to TRU this year. Not Big Lots, either. Bah!

All Go 1/32 Planes at Tuesday Morning

I'm guessing that this is a redundant thread, but just in case - Stopped in our local Tuesday Morning today, for the first time this year. They had a couple of the P-51 B/Cs and several of the Focke Wulf (Red 19?). They were $9.99. I didn't pick any up, as I sold off all of my 1/32 a while back (exc...

Re: Anything good showing up at TRU or Target this season?

I thought that the Bravo Team, Danger & Duty Series, Tactical Team figures might show up at Target, like the Rocon Team and Infantry Force figures did last year. Too much to hope?

If this thread is too much of duplicate to other topics then I apologize. Probably too broad of a question, too. Oh, well....
