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.

 

M2 has a statement about that on their website.

What's M2?    ???    :eh?:   Is that one of the Britsh Spy agencies?

Just checked one of the local Targets. No signs of it anywhere. The shelves look fairly set for Christmas. Is this going to be like a few years ago where only a couple of the Targets carried it?

Haven't found any yet. Anyone having luck finding them in the US stores?

I've been to 2 Targets in my area, and neither of them have any trace of Playmobil. I'ts too bad that they don't carry it, when it's becoming fairly popular in the US  :'(.

BonnieBeth, are you in the US?  I haven't seen any in the Chicago area at all.

Yes, I'm in Baton Rouge. One target had stopped carrying playmobil for a while, but now they both carry them, all US exclusives.

Did either of those stores do a big remodel to put in a grocery section?  The stores here stopped carrying Playmobil when they started selling groceries.  But, if your stores did the remodel and now they have Playmo again then perhaps there is hope for the rest of us.

Yes, we also lost all playmobil when the stores went for the food remodel. All departments were cut 25% to make room.

I really do hope they strike a deal or new deal with Geobra and start distribution in more stores than just Bonnies area, perhaps they know how much she spends  ;) I always waited for clearance and that does not help bottom lines
