I wish Wal-Mart had an adult collectibles aisle like Target does as far as variety and the fact that if some items are not selling, they will eventually clearance them. And the Target employees seem more helpful minded. Some of the Bif Bang Pow Twilight Zone 3.75" figures got reissued and I had failed to get The Invader figure back around 2014 when it came out so I was happy to see that one being reissued. The secondary market prices for these have gone nuts. So the first Target store I discovered these at didn't have The Invader but it did have the "chase" metallic robe Kanamit. I got that one then went to another Target. They didn't have any of those out at the next store so I asked an employee if they had any yet and within 10 minutes I had one Invader figure in my hand.

I have not been in a Target in ages, but had no idea they had an adult collectibles aisle.

We don't even have that many left, most toys nowadays are found in discount stores. Which is fine, but most of the stuff there is yesterdays news, or very cheap bootlegs. One of the biggest drug stores here regularly gets Funko POPs on discount for 3,99 or 4,99. I've scored some nice bargains there. Oh and Spockoda, it's good to see you again! |

It's good to see anyone here most days, especially those who have been gone a while.

It's good to see you as well. I was wondering if you had given up collecting there for a while. |

Oh no, I kept collecting, still have ALL of my old collection and I keep finding new stuff that I want to add. It's been a little quiet, but I have a good pile of Fortnite figures nowadays, those are fantastic. I also need more of Funko's Savage World. I recently got a Doctor Doom from Mech Strike Monster Hunters...absolutely amazing stuff. So yeah, there's still a LOT out there I keep hunting for! I'm just not a Facebook person, I hear most of the old gang went there to talk. Which is a shame, these Proboards forums had so much charm! I'm glad they're still here. What actually got me posting again was reading back my own Spotlight posts. Those Playmates Star Trek toys look awesome by the way. |

The Wlam-Rats around here have the adult collectible aisle in the video game section. Have you looked there?
