some series 5 peeks!
Still haven't seen these in stores yet, but Target is starting to restock other toys for the new season so maybe soon!!



Here's what makes up the 4 different 3 packs. Don't know what's in the 12 pack yet.

[jason76basin]

yay. series 5. that's the official checklist with all the folds/creases.........this is step 5 of 6 of having all the figures on the poster..........minus the glow in the dark figures of course. i'm just happy the future of the line is still up in the air because i know alot of folks are wanting aliens/monsters(me included)

[walker13.1]

I hope he is right!

[ironmask]

Looks like the Popeye one is only in the 12-pack...

I have little hopes that Target picks these up again, nor do I have any faith that we'll ever see the Monsters or Aliens lines.

[jhayward1283]

Maybe we can get lucky and someone else will pick up this line.

[Teacher of Madness]

Oh, please make it to stores. Pleeeeeease.

[Stratos]

Oh, please make it to stores. Pleeeeeease.

I'll buy'em online if I have to.

Cool to see the insert, thanks for sharing. Someone said something about Walgreens before, so maybe these will show up there.

[walker13.1]

I think my Target is done with them because I don't see any on clearance any more. Target still had a lot left last weekend. TRU on the other hand still has a bunch, and the price is at its original cost.

[Ridureyu]

Toys R Us will have them. I think so will Walgreens, but definitely not Target.

[jason76basin]

why would walgreens pick them up? they only had the 1st series 8 common figs, and they went deep clearance.....so i would say if walgreens got them in the future they would be idiots lol

[laserbeast]

Just finished up Series 4 & the Christmas set....pretty sweet to see this.

[resfirma]

Wow! This is the best news I've had all week! Series five has some the best figures in the line!

At every Walgreens near me where I saw them, they sold out very quickly. I never saw them reach clearance at a Walgreens around here. So they may have had success with it overall, just not in certain locations.

Good point sir. They sold around here also before they went on clearance....so who knows

[Stratos]

Never even saw them at Walgreens... but Walgreens does seem to be the place to find the "obscure" blind bag toys. It's the only place I have found Kre-O TF Microchangers.

[ironmask]

Walgreens clearanced them, as they were intended as "seasonal".
I haven't seen a Walgreens carry any 3-packs or 12-packs yet, though... I only ever saw the single packs on sale there.

After the Easter push last year, they got rid of all of their single-packed "Easter Basket Stuffers".

Bummer, I'm too late to see the pics.

Bummer, I'm too late to see the pics.

I saw this post from George on OT:

Hearing series 5 may not make it to stores. Those leaked images were removed, and no word on whether it will make it to stores now.

I pre-ordered series 5 12-packs, 3-packs, and the carrying case sets on Entertainment Earth after reading that. I've got 3 sets for me and my two kids covered as long as EE gets them. I'm not saying everyone should pre-order from EE now, but figured I would pass along the info.

[retroactive80z]

I still need series 1 but yes I want the toy line to keep going also

Sadness.

[lhssenior]

Was super stoked to walk into the aisle with S.L.U.G.s at TRU and see they'd been restocked and even got 2 additional pegs devoted to them.......all of series 3. Damn you for getting my hopes up TRU, damn you.

[TNT138]

I wish my TRU would even stock them!

[jason76basin]

i'm at the beach this week, and i was hoping to find some sluggies, and their store down here doesn't even stock them....and i love when you ask a tru about a specific item, they look at you like you're speaking authentic frontier gibberish(blazing saddles anyone?)

[walker13.1]

Does anybody have an idea when they're suppose to release series 5?
