  1. I'm starting late. Just saw the post regarding the Black Friday preview ad at Target. It appears as though that ad is gone and you cannot order from the preview sale. If that is indeed the actual Black Friday ad coming out when will I be able to access it again on their site and order. What time does Black Friday on line ordering start?

    Where did u see target?

  2. Maybe that should be a giveaway and/or merch item we sell. I could get a bunch of cheap GD-branded flash drives and load all my personal archives onto them.

     

    That would be awesome

     

    I still need to scan a bunch of the older ads that we don't have clean copies (or any copies) on the Archive site yet. I've got about 30 lbs of BF ads from the last 15+ years including many that aren't on there yet.

    No judgement here. I have several years saved myself :).

    On my older laptop I have 2015-17. I have 18 on my missing laptop...still cant find it.
  3. There was a rather vicious rumor that a large vendor will be selling a 55 for $128, lol. With that being thrown about, I do believe that we will see a sub $200 55" 4K model pop up. With Wallyworld selling the ONN brand, they can super discount 4K TVs that lack certain features like HDR.

     

    75" is the new 65". The fantastic TCL6 series is already $1300 and has been $1154 already and could hit that mark again for BF.

     

     

    My kids will be ecstatic if they have a 55inch tv for $128! Looking for a smart tv for both my boys. Was going to get them each a 32inch but if they have a larger one that's awesome!

  4. About 15 years ago we were out shopping on BF. Since we had a minivan we drove and everyone rode with us. Well we all shopped so much that we had to cram stuff all over inside the van. Every time someone opened a door bags would just tumble out. On the way home everyone except for the my husband who was driving was covered in bags, it was a hot mess but it also so much fun LOL

     

    This is so us every single year!

  5. ROTFL!! I guess I am showing my age but no xbox back then. I had a Pong game a year or so later. But no way to get it out to the tent. Might have played Simon in the tent though. Simon came out about that year. Mostly I slept in that tent though. Great tent. I used it for a good 15 years or so before it wore out.

     

     

     

    Let me see if I have this straight...you are going to give the kid his own tent for Christmas, and then tell him he has to let the family use it?!?! That it is not his own man cave afterall? LOL I suggest you throw a new video game or two into that Christmas stocking. If it were me at that age, I dunno that I want to find out that my sole Christmas gift is in reality a family gift in disguise.

     

    Lol...if ya put it like that...☹ but yes we would use it IF we went camping..I say if because I'm more of a cabin Kinda gal with all my medical issues. And I plan on grabbing some video games for him also. So far yes only asking for the new madden...last year he got the new xbox oneX and about 15 games so he really doesnt want more games. Just a tent to sleep in the backyard.

  6. A 9 person tent with lights?? Sound more like he wants a club house for the back yard. (I asked for -- and received a 2-3 person mountain tent at that age. I was thrilled! And It was plenty big.)

     

    Did you try the brick and mortar stores right now? I would think you might score a good deal with local end of season clearance. Sears and Kmart used to do some tents. I would think Walmart might carry a few tents as well. I scored a nice tent a few years ago using my citi card reward points. Do you have a credit card with similar reward program?

     

    Do you know what he wants the use the tent for? Is he really into camping or is this more about hanging out with friends outside? I know funeral homes/cemeteries regularly buy those white, heavy duty shelters for graveside services that are held in bad weather. They come with sides. Most funeral homes/cemeteries replace them every couple of years to keep them fresh and clean looking for their funerals. And they often sell the older ones. (Which are in great shape. My church bought 2 large ones a couple of years ago for our summer VBS very reasonably.) 10x10 is about the size of a 9 person tent. Plenty of space for teens. And if they want to sleep outside, you can just place a large tarp on the ground. I know it's not quite the same as a 9 person tent with built in lights - but depending on how your son is planning on using this tent, it might be an acceptable alternative.

     

    Best wishes. I know you want to make your son happy by getting him what he wants this Christmas.

    Yes it is mostly for outside in the backyard. This year has been really into sleeping outside. It started around april-may. I told him I wanted him outside more because he just started getting into video games. So the smart a@@ decided to put his mattress on our covered porch and little did I know then he hooked up a tv and his xbox oneX and an extension cord for his phone so he could be outside more lol! But then he started setting up our 10x10 canopy to sleep in the backyard. He wants the 9 person one for the room and it has built in lights. He doesnt ask for much of anything all year. 8 asked him to look for other ones also so I can have a few to choose from but honestly I kinda want the lighted one for our camping trip also. It was at walmart for $99 but just went up to $229

  7. I started going black friday shopping at 18 but really made it a tradition with my mom a few years later. If we didnt have the money to shop we would people watch for the pure excitement of it. She passed almost 4 years ago on Nov 21st and I wasnt going to go but my friends persuaded me to go in her honor(the wake was actually on black friday) and I'm glad i did because I would have regretted not going for her.

  8. OH NO! I'm sorry that happened. Will Kohl's make it right and send another one?

    They have to investigate and then might issue a refund. I bought with gift cards so they will only refund the gift cards, which stinks cuz they dont have the one x in stock. So I'm out of the xbox and stuck with $430 to kohls.

  9. Target will have the jetson Hoover board for 149 during the textbook sale and there is a 25% off coupon you can have texted to you that should work. It did for me last year. It should be around 113 after coupon.

  10. My daughter wants a hoverboard. She has been saving her allowance money and money her paw paw gives her. She had a birthday last week and got money too. So, she is trying to patiently wait until BF to get one. But, of course, I told her that we will be on the lookout for one before then too.

    Check walmart or brickseek.com with this number..... 88825516486

    I have seen them for 149 for a jetson hoverboard regular price at target

  11. I'm trying hard to wait...BUT... I did get a great deal on hoverboards. $99 instead of $300. Xbox wireless controller for $20 instead of $65 and studio beats at $105 instead of $380. So those I couldn't pass up seeing I'd NEVER find them at that price again.

     

    Ohhhh and fossil watches one was $28 instead of $95 the other was $36 instead of $145
