Having the ads in hand just pumps the adrenaline through the roof for me. I know. I'm sick with it. ~H~

Yeah, it's a styling head with complete torso, arms and all. Really big! Here is a link to see them: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0007XIZ2K/qid=1130041540/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/103-4010065-9885465?v=glance&s=toys&n=507846 ~H~

I was in Target today and wrote down all the stuff I saw them "hiding" on top of the risers. I posted those items in the Target thread. Tonight I decided to go to Kmart and be a little nosey. I think it will be fun to see which of these shows up at Kmart on BF or on Thanksgiving Day. All items were what I would call abnormal amounts of stock up on the very top shelves. *GI Joe Sigma 6 Ninja Hovercycle *Batman Begins Action Gear *Darth Vader Voice Changer *Electronic Power Rangers Action Buddy *OCC Light & Sound Jet Bike *OCC Light & Sound Fire Bike *Hot Wheels Gorilla Attack *City Patrol Chase Electric Power Road Set *Battery Operated Kawasaki *Matchbox Dino Adventure *Maisto Mega Mountain Downhill Adventure *Spongebob Karate Choppers *Dress-Up Adventure Dora *Dora Talking Houses (with Dora, Mami, Papi and a couch) *Fisher Price Laugh and Learn Learning House *My Own Learning Leap (Frog by Leap Pad) *Read Aloud Leap Pad *Bratz Funky Fashion Makeover (Doll Head & Torso) *Magic Glow Doodle Bear *Super Shopper Shopping Cart *Zapf Rock-A-Bye Chou Chou *Littlest Pet Shop Little Lovin' Pet Playhouse ~H~

Everyone is being helpful, but it never even dawned on me that in the 24 hour store I would be able to grab the stuff I want to PM and have it in a buggy then go by the pallet of what else I want and wait. Thanks for this post and way to think outside the box! ~H~

When I posted earlier about the stuff I found at Target I thought there were some items missing that I knew I wrote down! I was in there scribbling on the backs of receipts! lol Anyway, I just looked again in my purse because it was bugging me, and sure enough I was right! There was one receipt hiding from me at the bottom. Here is what I missed: *Steam & Dry Iron *Air Hogs R/C Zero Gravity Wall Climber (SWAT vehicle) *Air Hogs Sky Patrol R/C Helicopter *Tiger - Mission: Paintball (turn your tv into a paintball park) *Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber *Tyco R/C dropstars 2005 Chrysler *Elite Force A-10A Thunderbolt 2 Fighter Plane w/pilot ~H~

The complete list from BF 2004 can be found here: http://blackfriday.gottadeal.com/2004.txt ~H~

I was in Target today and while I did not write down EVERYthing I saw stacked atop the risers, I wrote down A LOT. I am pretty sure this is not regular stocking, but only time will tell! There were tons of everything I post. Here is what I jotted down: *Barbie Shop With Me Register *Barbie Deluxe Shopping Cart *Bratz Big Babyz Rock Angels Motor Bike *Bratz Big Babyz Bathtub *Bratz Big Babyz *Disney Scene-It *Regular Scene-It *Scrabble *Aquadoodle Doodle Pro *Little People Doodle Pro *Barbie Doodle Pro *Flat Screen Lite Brite *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles M.E.C.H. Wrekkers *Singer 30 Stitch Function Sewing Machine *1500 Watt Oil-Filled Home Heater *Hot Wheels Starter Set *Batman Begins Batmobile *Superman Action Cape *Nikko Limited Edition Harley Davidson Ford F-350 R/C *Nikko Jeep Rescue R/C *EZ Bake Oven *EZ Bake Oven Real Meals *Slurpee Maker *Hershey Indoor Smores Maker *Lego Star Wars Playset *CAT Junior Collection (like a Caterpillar Backhoe or something) *Tonka Toughest Mighty Truck *Limited Edition 50th Anniversary Lego Set with gold bricks *Tumble Time Tigger *Shout Elmo *Dora Talking House *Share-A-Story Care Bear *My Little Pony Butterfly Island *Zapf Baby Annabell *Our Generation 18" or 20" Horses (they were REALLY BIG) White one was called Dressage Perfect Champ and don't remember what the brown one was called I am off to KMart to see what I can see! Will post a new thread if I find anything good. ~H~

In your experience, or in your opinion, which is the better Wal-Mart strategy? Go to one that IS NOT open 24 hours and go SUPER EARLY and be near the very front of the line that forms outside, OR go to a 24 hour Wal-Mart and get beside what you want most and hope to goodness you get the other stuff in there you want, as well? ~H~

I was in my Target today and I also saw about 50 each - Disney and Regular Scene It - atop the games section. I'm looking for a thread to post the rest of the stuff I saw on top of the risers at Target today. There was a ton of each item I will post. ~H~

For my son's birthday I went to Game Stop (ebGames) and got my son a re-furbished PS2 for $99. It came with a 3 month guarantee and I paid the extra $14.99 for a year's subscription to Game Informer magazine which came with 4 back issues right then in the store (July, Aug, Sept, Oct), one of which (Oct) had a coupon inside for Buy 2 previously played games, get one free and another coupon for Buy 1 previously viewed DVD, get one free. This deal also came with a 10% off Game Stop card that you can use every time you shop there, even with the coupons. The subscription/10% off customer card ALSO automatically bumped me up from the 3 month warranty to a full 1 year warranty. ~H~

Hey, cool! You read my mind. I was just looking for that on here this morning. ~H~

I'm hoping for Target or TRU. ~H~

I looked for the plush m&m fm radio and found it on the RS site right now for 15 or 20 bucks. Can't remember which one. So, that may be a BF item. It was on the 2nd or 3rd page, though, when you had the 3 pages of RS stuff up. ~H~

My six year old little girl doesn't want one, but a lot of my friends are getting them for their girls. ~H~

Ahhhh, I was spelling it "Bright." Thanks for finding that. Being a teacher and having used Spin Art toys over the years, I can tell you that most of them are very poor quality. This seems to be more sturdy (it can stand up, as well) and I think that the lights and music will be really cool for little kids while they are waiting for their creation to finish. I'm going to look into it for my class. Thanks again! ~H~

For those of you that were saying you may get the Spin Art toy, I just saw something on tv that looked better to me. I can't find it online, but maybe someone else will have better luck and post a link. It's called Light Bright (FX or Effects?) Flash Art. ~H~

I've never done lay-away either, but I may this year. Won't be able to make that decision until all the ads come out and possibly until I know what all will be available online Thanksgiving night/early BF morning! Free shipping, please! ~H~

They're really rolling in early this year! What's next? TRU? Target? Kmart? PPPPLEASE???!!?? Yes, I know, I'm being greedy. ~H~

Remember, you guys, a lot of the items you are saying you really want have the "Also On Walmart.com" marker below the description in the actual scanned ad. ~H~

HOLY CANNOLI! What a TREAT! You guys rock! Bless you to whomever found this and passed it on. I have officially received my BF fix for the rest of the month (but you guys can post the rest of it any time now!) lol ~H~

WOW! Good eye! Could be something to this. ~H~

Awwww. I feel bad for you. You could go with my friends and I if you lived here! ~H~
