Did a check on the Target web site with one of the items listed. In the section of 'Find' it. Of the 35 some stores in the Chicago area as well as down state, it only showed a SuperTarget has having the item. All of the rest said 'out of stock."   As I understand it, last year the SuperTarget store also had PMB, but no one else. I'm afraid that this isn't going to be the big resupply that we hoped.

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.

No, both of these stores were huge supertargets from the time they were built, and have always had a large grocery section. In fact that may be the difference, as jay said. particularly the one by me is a HUGE store. It's probably bigger than a super walmart. So they may carry more stock simply because of being so big. And BTW, I do grocery shop there quite frequently. The slightly higher prices are worth it for the quieter environment and better customer service than WM.

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  ;)

 :lol: Yep I'm sure it's all about me! ;D

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

Yes we have sale for just about any reason and for no reason what so ever. The only sale I ever line up for is a members only damaged gear/returns sale that happens 4 times a year and it is at REI (an outdoor gear store) I go the night before and sleep in the parking lot  ::)  always first in line  :loco:

I would love to find playmobil with such sales (90% off)  as I would be there days in advance, actually I would just have an employee camp out for me  :P

I've had good luck with the clearnace sales at TRU. I know I've gotten some PMB at 75% and possibly even 90%. Then....... there was the time that they were putting new merchandise out while stuff was on clearance sale......and they put the stickers on the wrong things.  I actually tried to tell them that the $5.00 wasn't supposed to be .49 cents, but they said that was how it was in the computer and they couldn't change it.   8}

I doubt any of our area stores will be getting playmoibl again seeing as they are the smaller store size.

I heard of members getting things on clearance at TRU for .01¢

Ras,
That is so true because from my experience, the REI sales are the best! I chose my town partly because it was the site of the first NC store of REI. Maybe we could talk them into carrying the PM adventure and sports sets, pool and beach stuff, and campers and other outdoor sets. At least we would get a nice dividend check when they aren't on sale.

And their members buy a lot of gear for their children, so we know that the target markets shop in REI stores. Should we get the "committee" to add this to their list of ideas? Pgal ;D
