Tell me about the $17 skystryker- was it in the toy section? I have almost never seen markdowns on the things I want at Target. I will pull the trigger for that price.

Yup, it was in the toy section on one of the endcaps. They had two of them and I bought one. It rang up at $17.48 so I snagged it. I want one more than I'm done. Time may running out though, that's a great price for those....

Anyone else a little frightened by the low inventory on Avengers toys especially with how big that franchise is? There is nothing up here. Tru in flint had a large section up front that never had more than a dozen figs.
Not that I'm a fan of the Avengers but I do recognize it has a lot more going for it than gi joe.

I have noticed the same thing at every store I have been to. There is virtually no Avengers product on the shelfs. That goes with Star Wars as well. Not a fan of Avengers and have quit collecting Star Wars. Something just doesn't seem right in Hasbo's action figure world. Somethings up, not sure what the deal is. So, to answer your question, yes, I am quite concerned.

I've been to a few spots on the West side of the Suburbs and really disappointing pickings all around the lineup. Avengers you have the base toys but nothing in addition. Very little in the way of variety out there - I've seen about 8 different figures. GI Joe - I mean we're all over the current offerings right? We've done that for 6 months now and while we may like them, there's been nothing to replace. Star Wars has even been slow.

Very odd but has saved my pocket book at least.

I think it's a great idea, just don't have the time. Nor the money at this point. And I'd be hard pressed to convince the wife that I'm taking a toy roadtrip after spending $80 on the two Amazon packs. But trust me, I'd love to. :(

Dude, I would go in a heartbeat, however, no money, or job. The good thing is I start a new job on Monday, so the "no money" issue will be taken care of. If this was a month down the road, I would be ridin' shotgun with you goin on an epic toy hunt......seriously. Next time, if there is one....I'm down.
