NEW FOR HALLOWEEN - 2024

[Mike Scott]

Target sold out of the Universal items really fast.

Mostly to eBay resellers, no doubt.

[John Pertwee]

I always hope that the scalpers end up with massive amounts of stock and lose their house, but then again I often buy one to keep, one to resell later and one to open. My philosophy is to only buy things to resell that I wouldn't mind getting stuck with, and so far it has worked for me.

I always buy just one of each item, unless they have been on the shelf for weeks or are on sale. I hate when scalpers buy all the stock then turn around and try to sell it for double. Years ago I used to buy new action figures from all the local stores: Target, Walmart, Toys-R-Us, etc. Hunting down the latest figures and seeing all the new stock hot the shelves was such a fun time. However, I'd get to the store and scalpers would be waiting because they knew when the new shipments would be getting in. They also were working with the employees to grab the rare figures before they even hit the shelves. Then the stuff would be on eBay, in local comic shops, and toy shops for double or triple the price. I became so disheartened by the entire thing that I stopped collecting new toys and going out toy hunting.

Lowe's had it one year as well pretty recently

I have noticed that Spirit Halloween stores have had several UM items along with costumes...so that is good. It would be nice to see more stores carry Officially Licensed UM stuff during Halloween. though.

I think Sprit Halloween is owned by Spencer's which I think is owned by Universal (or has some type of affiliation with Universal). I'm not exactly sure but I think that's why Spirit Halloween has Universal Monster stuff more than other places. I think they would be wise to have more than they do.

Listen to this fella. He seems to know what's coming up with regards to Spirit and Uni. Floodgates might be opening Halloweens moving forward. That's what I hear any way.

Something you don't want to hear if you work at a nuclear power plant.

We can hope.

Target sold out of the Universal items really fast.  You's think someone would want to repeat that success.

My Target had the Monsterville stuff through the entire season.   I don't think it sold very well.   Thats why they haven't repeated it.     A store in Australia...the Big W...tried it last season and most went to clearance.    Stuff I found much cooler and more fun than the Monsterville stuff.

What stuff?

[Dr.Terror]

It was all manner of items.    Sadly they are no longer listed on the site to even view.

Oh yeah.  That's a way better look at the monster.  (Still not wanting to buy one.)
