$.80 Launchables at Meijer
Sam and I were killing time while having a tire repaired for my wifes car and I decided to check the toy section for rockets as an afterthought. I'd heard the tales about the Closeout Launchables, but I don't believe in UFOs either. I decided to check the price on a Bullpup kit, and it rang up $.80. I said "Sam," because I wanted him to see the price and he thought he was in trouble. "What?" he said, real defensively, and then his eyes fixed on the price check screen. We immediately turned around and headed back to the toy department to see if the others were priced the same way. None of them were, but I did get three Bullpups for under $3. I guess you can beat it, but short of a garage sale, I don't know how.

Bonus! Too bad we don't have Meijer's around here. I did pick up some Launchables at Walmart about a month ago though that were half price.

You need to go back and ask the person who works in the toy isle if there are anymore in the back. we did that at our local meijers and they pulled out 8 fat boys and 5 bull pups plus the 4 we got off the shelf. A bonanza!!

Sounds like a plan! I never gave that a thought. I'm making pizza on Friday and Meijer is my favorite place to shop for pizza ingredients, so I'll ask then. You can bet I'm going to make a detour down that toy aisle whenever I'm in the store from now on. (Which is fairly often, since they're the only store in the area that I can count on to stock any NKU stuff. That's my wardrobe staple.)
Interestingly enough, I opened one of the Bullpups tonight to start the cloning of an Estes Defender. This is a brand new kit, not one of the old ones that's been sitting around. It has the new Estes parachute. Tomorrow I'm opening another one to start on the Nike X. |
