Playmo at Target
« on: August 05, 2011, 09:36:38 »
Hey all...
Yeah, I disappeared for a while... work/gallery openings/life/etc were keeping me from my Playmofriends  :wave:
Anyway... a small selection of Playmobil have resurfaced at my local Target (Fort Lauderdale), after about 2 years of not carrying any at all... I was in a hurry, so I didn't get any numbers (and half of them were out of stock), but there was firemen/skateboarders/knights/pirates blisters, along with the garbage truck, ambulance, a rehash of a mini pirate set, a pirate ship and a ghost pirate ship. Next time I stop by I'll get all the info...
Oh, I've been working on and off on a suburban house custom... It's been wallpapered and carpeted :).... Now I just got to get my stuff together and find some time to furnish it... I might even do a little photo-story with it... as Lil' EmGee and Lil' JayBee go house-hunting. :)
Hope I can make it back here soon....
Bonnie... I have NOT forgotten about you... the package is sitting on my desk!  :'(

 :lol: Oh, it's ok! There's no rush. My princess knows someday her pince will come. :P (ok, I know he's a king, but it made a nice line. :lol:)

Yeah, I found playmobil at target, too, and forgot to say anything about it! Pretty much the same stuff you found, and at both targets in town, including the one that had no playmo for a while. We bought the recycling truck. :love: great to see they have some blue boxes again.

It's great that Target seems to finally realize that Playmobil is a necessity in their stores  ;D. I haven't looked at the toys at Target since they dropped Playmobil several years ago, but on their website there are two sets listed. They are listed as Playmobil Fireman & Skateboard Blister Assortment and Playmobil Pirate & Fireman Blister Assortment. There are no set numbers  ???.

I looked at the website to see what you mean, Ace... that is a very strange way to list it. ??? Especially since there is a pic of two knights labeled "fireman and skateboard assortment." ??? You'd think they would list each blister individually. :hmm:

That's good news as Target is opening it's first 105 stores in Canuckistan in 2013.

Wow! That is good news because Target usually has high quality food at reasonable prices...I shop there for groceries at least twice a week and always come home with a bargain of some kind.

And they do have decent sales on just about everything if you wait long enough. Your daughters will love the toys, too! Now if they can just restock the PM!!!

We also like the fact that they donate 5% of what you spend there to the school of your choice...at least in the States. Many shcools have used this as a major fundraiser.

Canuckistan is a cute term...Hubby loved it, too, as he grew up there and went to McMaster.  Cheers, Pgal :wave:

After two decades of male toys (esp. Lego and PM) in our house, it is time to build something for us women!

I checked my local Target on Saturday and not a sniff of Playmobil on the shelves. The West Coast can lag, so it may appear eventually.

I've given up on Target almost entirely as a place to shop. They recently cut a line of Diecast cars (M2 Machines) that I was starting to collect, in order to fit in 6" more space for Disney's Pixar Cars. The loss of shelf space could be very damaging to the small manufacturer, and I felt that 24 feet by six feet of space for Disney's Cars was enough, but apparently not enough for Target.

No Playmobil at my Target, either.  We don't shop there as frequently as we used to.  They cut the size of their electronics/games department in the remodel to add a grocery department.  Well, really, they cut the size of most (if not all) of their departments and I didn't go to Target to buy groceries.   :(   Bring back the toys and the electronics!

I don't get the half aisle they have of the mini skate-boards or those kind of things.
