Found 2 S2 Bradleys, one S2 M1, in new boxes at Target.
No Elefant.
New figure sets in bubble packaging, comes with assorted furniture, and pets.

25 dollars.

Don't bother, unless the Visalia Targets have better selections than in Fresno. (That is always a possibility ) I've only seen new modern FOV vehicles - the Baghdad 2003 M2 Bradley and the Baghdad 2003 Abrams in the woodland cammo. Both were, however, the Enthusiast grade

They are at the Herndon & Willow and Riverpark Targets in Fresno, if you are interested.

Hmmm... I do lean more to the modern era... And Enthusiast in Action boxes are hard to pass up...

Over the last two days I've been to both Targets and TRU, and there was nothing special to report. The new soldier packs are out, and I like some of the accessories, but not quite enough to pay $10. No pricing errors either. But I'll keep looking...

ARGH!!!!

The Targets in my AO SUCK!!

Good find though! I guess these company's could give a spit about having their products on the shelves before Christmas when they have a good chance of actually selling them.

Yeah, I agree. I was hoping the shelves would be packed to the gills with FOV at my Targets. I thought the same thing Rowsdower. But apparently not... =/

Target is in financial trouble. They offered too much credit to sub-prime customers, made a lot of sales but are discovering that they aren't actually getting paid for them.

I pay on my Target card every month on time and more than the minimum. I want to see some product.

I believe that you may be the only one.

However I am sure that with this knowledge in hand Target will respond appropriately.

It's hard to believe their brilliant business plan of "Push an instant credit card on people who shop at a discount store" backfired.

I know. And it worked so well for the mortgage industry too.

So how long until they start building debtor's prisons again?

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 10:30 am

As soon as someone will extend credit so they can be built on other people's money (OP$).

BTW: OP$ is ours.

To get back on topic, I had a find at Target this weekend. It was the Bismark release on clearance from what the tag said was $39.99 regular price down to $9.99. The UPC code on the bottom of the box was run through with black ink from a permanent marker and nobody in the store could tell me what it was or if they had more because it wasn't in their system. Sounds like the left hand doesn't know what the left hand is doing. All the same I was pleased with my find, even though it isn't a $5 Elefant...

The stores are still clean and open though.

They don't have that grungy feeling every K-Mart I have been in has.

The sense that the store is about to close.

Cabe · Post by **Cabe** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 12:36 pm

is that the 1/100 bizmark?

ltcbj · Post by **ltcbj** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 12:44 pm

1.1000 Biz.

1/100 would be about 9 feet long

Cabe · Post by **Cabe** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 1:16 pm

you sure it wouldn't be a 5 dollar foot long?

AlloySkull · Post by **AlloySkull** » Mon Dec 01, 2008 6:45 pm

Yeah, Kmart was always pretty depressing. Target is much, much cleaner. I'm almost glad the Kmart here is gone. I hated the place.

Cabe · Post by **Cabe** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 8:01 pm

so i went into that same target tonight to return some crap
I peeked into the FoV stuff to see if by any chance another elefant had appeared a mere 4 day after my first one i had bought there.
There was a freaking elefant on the shelf, so I grabbed it and my eyes lit up...behind it was the Deuce and a Half truck!
BOTH would not scan at all so I took them up front to buy as I did with the elefant.
Of course it didn't ring up and the manger was called, but this ws a different manager and she wanted more info than what i was telling her. So to cut a 20 minutes of f**ing waiting on them to find a reason for me not to buy them (even though they are on clearance as these are marked as discontinued and online only items. A guy she sent back there said the closest thing he could find was 25 for each , so I said I guess i should have brought my receipt and left. The guy even said he had more in the back

So if anyone wants a duece and a half action series (or the elefant) drop me a PM.

I myself am going back on Friday when I last saw my manager who sold em for $5 and take my damn receipt as proof

tmanthegreat · Post by **tmanthegreat** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 4:30 pm

What is it with the not scanning and the online only status? I had the same problem with my Elefant and Deuce. Luckily Target is letting us get them and saving some cash in the process

[CAT]CplSlade · Post by **[CAT]CplSlade** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 5:51 pm

Has anyone even been able to find them on the web site? I've tried several ways of bringing up FOV stuff and all I get is the older releases at the regular store prices.

Rowsdower · Post by **Rowsdower** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 8:08 pm

I still haven't found any at any of my local Targets.

Cabe · Post by **Cabe** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 10:09 pm

i put 4 trucks up for sale at the BST forum here

Well after reading this I decided to check out my local Target and found an action Elefant stashed behind a couple of Stugs! Thanks for the head up!

Now that the fires have been stoked, I'll be on the prowl for some deuces!
