Friday Finds

[lazypadawan]

A friend in Maryland told me she found Mighty Muggs at Target, so I went to two of them today. No dice. At one store, they were rearranging the toy section and had scant merch on the shelves. Bah! At another store, they still didn't have Mighty Muggs but they did have Vader and stormtrooper bobble heads, one set of Leia/Artoo keychains, and some new comic packs, including the Anakin (Republic comics series) pack I'd been looking for. So I grabbed the comic pack and the keychain set. Maybe I'll get the bobble heads another time. Then I found a cute pair of flats, but that's not relevant. In the young men's t-shirt section, alongside the classic rock shirts, the "Look At My Nuts" and "I Love Hot Moms" shirts, etc., there's a new SW tee, one with the Imperial logo on it. No Alliance one, though :(.

Does any of your Targets have a separate area for their trading cards and miscellaneous fandom items (bobble heads and model sets) separate from the toys? The reason I ask this is because the Target stores here in MN do this. I sometimes have to look at in departments to find SW items.

You mentioned Leia/Artoo keychains at Target??? What do they look like? Lego Keychains?

The Targets around here keep trading cards up front near the cash registers and the rest of it in the toy section. I've never noticed a separate model kit section before.

The new keychains are just regular figurines, not like the LEGO ones. I think they are designed to be either keychains or backpack charms. There's supposed to be different characters, but Leia and Artoo is the only set I've seen so far.
