The Target on OST/Main near the Astrodome (Reliant Center to some :lol: ) has the Para for $2.98-$2.48 for the regulars) and it has a bunch on the endcap, only a few on the aisle.
Some MOFO cut the guns out of several packs :x
Did not spot a Tiger.

Uh oh, I am down from Canada for a few months and I have picked that Target. But I don't hoard so don't worry. I have my eye on the vehicles in the clearance area...I just need one

1:18 at TRU

Post by Helo Driver » Sun Jan 13, 2008 9:17 pm

I don't know if it's already been mentioned...but I found a 1:18 Sabre jet from 21stCentury at TRU today. That's the first time I've seen a 1:18 21st aircraft there since probably 2003!

My local TRU (Milford, CT) had a lot of modern BBI paratroopers and other modern figures. I picked up a couple more Danny Lynch Delta troopers on Saturday, though they were at the regular price.

Then yesterday I went to two different Targets (West Haven CT and Milford CT). The Milford one had no BBI at all, and only had FOV Bradleys and a whole lot of modern troopers at the regular price. The Target in West Haven had exactly one BBI figure left - the Night Stalkers pilot - and although it didn't have a sale sticker on it, it scanned for $1.25 so I got yet another one of him.

Did you happen to recognize which one it was, Huff, Mitch's Squitch or something new perhaps?

Is it me or is that a pic of the standard Humvee with some new kit. Perhaps they are doing a kit as this one shows the super humvee with increased armour and a 50. cal:

This could be good though it's nice to see new stuff!

Been waiting for that Humvee, but it's a shame it is not up-armored, just the same old vehicle with the really cool shield. Also plan to switch out the Mk-19 for a .50.

The gunner looks like a new fig, no? Like a regular we haven't gotten before unless it is a bash.

The Houston Target on Westheimer, one block west of the Wal-Mart, has several BBI paratroopers at $1.48 at the end of the aisle under a "clearance" sign.

Found a dozen Hummers (Tan and Cammo) all for $5 each. Should I get them all for that price? I just picked up 1 Cammo.

I paid $20 and $15 respectively for my woodland/desert Hummers and I'm not too upset about it. They look fantastic loaded with troops and gear... especially the FOV modern army figures and accessories.

I'd say yes. $5 is chicken scratch and the desert Hummer in particular has a good variety of configurations, so even two of them side by side look good.

While the BBi stuff was completely absent from Target last time I went, I'll be heading there again tomorrow. If I see the Hummers at $5, I know I'll be getting another two. A convoy probably looks pretty nifty. :D

I'm still not sure if Target is dropping BBI or not.
It's cleared out most, if not all, of the in-store BBI. But at Target.com, the BBI Donald Duck P-51 and M1 Abrams are back at regular price, $49.99 and $24.99, respectively).
