I was just at Big Lots & they had sset out some Power Team Elite stuff. It looks like they are trickeling in again for Xmas. So far they had:
Horse set, Camel set, Campfire set, Navy Kayak, Parachute trooper, & the Little Bird attack helicopter. I'm sure they will get other sets out later just like last year.
Plus if you want to shop for Halloween. Why must people be so impatient? My friend who used to work at Target says stores start putting out these seasonal things earlier & earlier because people buy them.

Yeah stores are starting to get the seasonal items in. Floor resets are already going on and stores are starting to get it all ready. I don't understand it, but I can understand corporations doing it. I mean if people are going to buy it, why not cash in on them? No matter what the news says about people not spending money, people are throwing cash around like it's their last day on Earth around my area.

_________________

Yeah, my local TRU already has Halloween stuff out.

_________________

Even where I work at Nordstrom Rack, we put Halloween stuff out today.

I still remember the last time BL got PTE in and I wound up with a trunk load of stuff for under $100.

Alright, about time they got something in the toy aisle, gotta get to BL now.

_________________

Mine also had the watch tower for $10. I picked up one of those and a couple of the horses. Even though the horses aren't the best looking ones around, they are at least the cheapest scale options I've found (compared to the Indy line anway) and at least have some other fodder with them. The ones I liked were the camels, and I nabbed 4 of them. That's a project starter right there.

_________________

I went to my local BL and they didn't have anything, as a matter of fact, they didn't have anything new, same empty spots as the last time i was there, my BL sucks.

Maybe this time they'll get that base thing and I'll buy it...

_________________

PTE stuff is great to complete dios.
Their figures make great fodders and their play sets are just fun.

_________________

Yeah, the base was what, 30 bucks? Not bad really, but with marauder john offering all the goodies, I don't see a reason to buy another one,

Then again, another A ten might be something,

_________________

Hope to see new stuff out but if there are any Brits out there check your local toy master they have the figures, humvees, tanks,boats, small sets and A-10s in stock

_________________

Nothing as of yet locally, but if anybody finds the Bad Boyz Monster Truck, the P-61 Black Widow, or the big Chap Mei missile truck, please write down the Big Lots SKU and post it/PM me with it.

This way I can get my local BL to actually get them for me...

I would add the Harrier to the list. Does anyone know if that jet ever saw the US stores?

I believe it came out here the same time as the initial PTE arrival at Big Lots which was I think Summer '06. That was when I got mine.

Not PTE but this looks like a cool set too
