I don't think after Last years mess they'll do the pre-order again. If they do hopefully they will limit it before a reseller buys 90 of them.

I think they should limit the number you can preorder. Granted I like to get a few extra's to sell on ebay too but I think it is unfair to order a ton of them and be greedy about it.

Right on! You hit it right on the head.

can someone tell me what exactly were/are Target tins? I just started collecting a few months ago, and unfamiliar w/what tins are, and what pets they were. thanks I started collecting after the first tin which apparently came out before Christmas in 2006. I was able to get it from people on this forum though The 2006 tin was literally a square tin box with compartment rooms, sort of like those vinyl carry cases they used to sell that came with 2 pets. It had 15 exclusive pets in it, #248 to #262. My favorite I think is #262, the peach snail. Last year the exclusive Target Christmas item was called Pets Around The World. It wasn't strictly speaking a tin, but more of a luggage-shaped carry case, again with compartments, but this time they showed different world locations and the pets were designed to be from different areas as well. So, there was a zebra, a cheetah, a brown bear, etc. Again, 15 exclusive pets #385 to #399. Last year it was a lot of hassle to get this: most of us missed the pre-order on Target.com, and even some of those who didn't miss it had their orders canceled. Eventually it showed up on Amazon and then finally in Target stores. It was on ebay for exorbitant amounts before that though, sometimes $115 or more. I have to say, even though I was pretty annoyed by the time I actually got mine, the pets were REALLY cute! So, after 2 years in a row of doing something special, we're all expecting Target to do something this year too, but maybe they aren't. There's been so much LPS released lately, maybe they think there won't be a market for another LPS set...

The Target tin from 2006 was so cool! I wish the postcard pets were a complete set. I can't wait to find those.

I just checked Target's web site now and didn't see anything special. The 2 Target tins are both favorites of mine. I'm really disappointed...
