Online Stores

Post by Threetoughtrucks » Wed Jan 23, 2008 8:26 am

Just looking at the Target site and find quite a few toys available online and indicating they are not available in stores.

I know this has been going on for quite a while but this is the first time I have seen so many 1/18 and 1/32 stuff available by a big store.

Could this be a trend, to warm out hearts? Sure beats spending gas and belly bomber money (who spends a day scouting w/o stopping by Mickey Dees or the King and maybe Dunkin Donuts, or for you yuppies, the place with the $5 cup of double latte with whipped cream ot whatever....) while we are looking for our toys or dollies that are so rarely on the shelves or not on the shelves at all????

Most are not cheap, except one P-51. but at least they are available... :roll:

Thoughts?

I see what you mean! Takes some searching around in their site, but there are some decent items there for us collectors. Could beat ebay in a pinch.

Sometimes they have some pretty good deals too. I bought 4 of those F-16's they had on sale. I found out about them from the forum. Keep the information coming guys.

BBI "The Duck" P-51 for $29.99 plus shipping. That's one hot deal.

Yes, I'm still kicking myself over not getting the F-16 Target had. I had made plans to purchase it after the holiday trip, but it was long gone by then. Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Keep watching Target.
Remember a few months ago when they first put the Donald Duck P-51 on sale for TEN DOLLARS?
The savings can be extreme.

The Target Donald Duck had a better deal when it was $35 with free shipping plus I used a 10% discount offer, so I got mine for $34---cheaper than the present deal.

I assume the F-16 is discontinued, but I hope Target restocks it.
