BBI at Target

Is the Hummer with the shielded .50 cal mount the one they are selling at Target? Meaning the one used in Iraq now.

Picked up a $30 blackhawk tonight and whoo baby and I happy.

One big piece of equipment. That would be at the Gibsonia Target listed there, it just opened the wednesday before last. No big fanfair either, just popped open and word of mouth let people know. It's about 20 minutes from my girl's place so it's become a new stomping ground of mine.

Great prices on BBI but basic carded GI Joes were $7.99!

Way overpriced on those. Star Wars was decent, but the "Legends" line was overpriced by about $.50 or so. Not uncommon for new Targets, but was something I'd hoped they had stopped. I was wrong I guess.

We're getting another one too, they're working on it now... It'll be a scant 5 or 10 minute drive away, and I cannot wait for that to open.

Like clockwork, the two Targets doing resets the middle of this week were loaded this morning. One had all the figures, the Humvees, but only one LAV and Abrams. The other had not as many figures, both Humvees, one Apache, and HAD a Blackhawks (WOOHOO!). Two other Targets I've checked haven't reset. Wouldn't be surprised if that happens this week, and they're loaded next weekend.

Also, both had the 25th Joes. Got me two of the Black Timber Snake Eyes (stupid toy company-fascination-with-variants).

Skippy was stocking the shelves when I got there this morning. He was moving to slow for me to justify waiting so I will be back later--they were tagged for everything. On the bright side--I did score a FOV Spit for 15 bucks--they still had a 51 there is you are interested.

Nobody knows about the Hummer? If it's the one with the shielded .50 cal mount?

Wish my Target, TRU and Wallys would get their asses in gear and reset already I got a few hundred bucks to blow on toys.

When did BBI ever produced a Humvee with a shielded 50cal?

I recall seeing a humvee with a 50cal with a SAW(or some sort of LMG) on shotgunner side. All other humvees were fitted with TOWs.

It was shown at a convention earlier this year. We haven't heard any word on it so it may have just been a custom done up for the show. I guess time will tell...

I found a Blackhawk, Apache, LAV, M1 and carded BBI modern figures and WWII Paratroopers.
This was at a newer Target that I happened to be eating dinner nearby.
This was in Ohio at the Milford (East of Cincinnati) Target store near the Showcase Cinema.

I got the Blackhawk. The price was not in their system, but at least they had tags up on the shelves. When I got my Pak 40 Hanomag, TRU didn't have a price on the shelf, in their computer, not a price ANYWHERE! How can you sell anything without knowing the price to see it at?

While going on a toy hunting mission with several other people, we stopped at the Target in Factoria, Wa. and I found one Apache and one Blackhawk for the shocking price of 29.00 bucks a piece. Basically like getting two helicopters for the price of one. On another note, I was up last night trying to find a blackhawk online. Also hanging off pegs were a a good amount of action figures too. Pretty Kill!

I think it's time to lock this thread down. Please use the BBI sticky from now on.
