GI Joe - Wave 9

The local Target store was the purveyor of something awesome, and something lousy this fine muggy morning. In completely awesome news, they had a full set of the brand spanking new GI Joe wave 9/wave2 Modern Era figures! While they have raised the price to $7.99, this wave looks really amazing in person, and they probably timed the price hike well for a wave that they know people won't be able to resist.

In lousy news, the other side of that insidious coin, I was told at the register that they have been instructed to no longer accept my cherished Target Coupons! This coupon, much discussed here at the Preserve, entitled the bearer to $5 off of a $25 toy purchase (or greater, of course). As I suspected, it was too good to be true, and they've sent out the word to stop honoring them long before the October expiration date. Well, we certainly got a lot of use from them, buying the entire Indiana Jones line at a neat discount, as well as the last few waves of Joes. So, while the coupon loss is sad, at least it makes shopping elsewhere not so unpalatable, and the discovery of wave 9 this morning helps smooth over any hard feelings that may have been stirred up.
