New Carry-Along @ Target! 5890 5891 5894 58xx

The two Target stores local to me had these yesterday, but in very small numbers, 2 each of the Dragon knights and Police, and four each of the Pirates sets.

I cleared the shelves of the Dragon Knights, and got one each of the others. They were marked and priced at $9.99

As Core said, the case is less substantial than before, with a solid lid and no interior compartment. They've also inclouded a sticker for you to put on the box if you wish. I never really bought these for the boxes anyway, so i don't mind that cut back.

The contents are reasonable value for $9.99, especially compared to the recent big blister at $6.99 which had less in it, and is totally useless packaging after you've opened it. As this was my first chance to get my hands on the Dragon Knights I was quite happy with the $9.99 price. The rest of the theme is due out in the US in April.

Finally got my hands on two of the knights and one pirate carry case.  They had the police also.  I'm currently collecting the knight theme but the police motorbike was mighty tempting.

Did they only have the two Dragon Knight sets? I was in Albany yesterday, about 50 miles north of Eugene, while getting pour car plates, and picked up a couple more but that's all they had. It seems each store gets 2 x red, 2 x blue and 4 x black boxes. The use of red boxes for the knights makes me wonder what color the Fire theme will get now, if anything.

That is exactly what my local store had, picked up 1 knight and 1 police to check them out. Mega Blocks had more shelf space then Playmobil!

The store I went to had 2 knights,2 police, and 4 pirates. I have not been to the other targets I normally frequent but I will go to the other ones today.

Maybe the contents are at a reasonable price, but compared to previous boxes of the kind, the contents are less substantial as well -- which explains it to need no compartments ...
