They might still do something. It is early and the first year they were in the flyer as a when it is gone its gone. One time only deal. It was the same last year when it was in the flyer. Maybe after last years mess they are just going to do the same thing as in 2006 and only sell them in the store.

They probally are going to get halloween and thanksgiving out of the way first, but last year, they were out on the display racks. They were in the paper and daddy went to target and bought all 20 they had early in the morning. THey asked, what are you doing with all of them and replied, Daughter... collection... Dont want to go there. we sold almost ( me one, my 3 cousins one, and my bffs sister)all of them on ebay and made at least 200.00 profit. That still wasn't enough for all the stuff I wanted!

Yes, because some people bought so many and sold them on eBay for high prices, many people on here weren't able to get them at all, because they couldn't afford the higher prices. It's a sore subject on this forum.

It's a sore subject on this forum. Yes, it is... I just can't imagine why Target let people buy more than say 4 of a limited edition collectible item like this. And I'm beginning to wonder if they don't do a set this year, if incidences like this are why. If Target received so much negative feedback from frustrated people trying to get the set, that they decided the negative feelings towards Target created over the item far outweighed the profit from it. I know I was pretty annoyed there for quite a long time. And I also know I will never try that hard to get anything ever again.

Our target don't care. They just want money. Don't worry, they got plenty other shipments for others who collect and we didn't touch those! They got so many afetr that on ebay, you only made 5.00. My dad now saves stuff for later times when you can really rake in a profit! I don't want to sound rude and bratty. My daddy knows what he can make a buck off of and it turned out he did. He has had plenty times like when he sells Wiis, he has to check eBay which he did'nt do. When they first came out, Daddy sold his first one for 670.00. His last one he sold was only 250.00. They are really about 300.00 a piece so he didn't make a thing. Same with those. We tried to take some back, but they wouldn't let us cause we lost our darn reciept. We got a few people we knew into collecting and gave 2 to "Toys 4 Tots" Well, were going to. It had that target sticker on there so they got mad at us. I didnt get why. Then we just saved them for Christmas and birthdays. I can't wait to give one to my 4 year old cousin this year!
Now i feel guilty. I am sorry I am a pest. I'll try to stop. Our target actually gets frequent shipments. I want to apologize to all who didn't get one and I am not trying to brag. If you want someone to brag, go to youtube. There is one on there... Sheesh! (hint: it says I have ALL the RARE ones on her home page)

My wallet is really hoping that there won't be one this year.
