Wow! just got back from Kohls which is relatively new here in the PNW. I had no idea they had a tiny little toy section upstairs? Here's the deal though....deluxes are regularly priced at 12.99!! A little step these days right? 3 things however were working in my favor: 1)Kohls is new here 2)high TF prices 3)TFs are super hidden, way back by in the boys department. After discovering it JACKPOT!!!! Four 1974 Bumblebees and three Barricades, along with the usuals.

Anyway, my point? If you have a Khols near by...I believe this is a west coast store? Not sure? Hit one up!!!!

Where are you in the NW, I am don't in the Couve, and I don't think our Kohls is open yet, but should be soon. This is good to know.

Edit, guess I could have looked at your profile.

Ah. So We live in the same State. Actually I live about 1 hour away.
I might hit the Renton kohls for barricade beacuse I have not seen one yet. And the kohls here in silverdale wont be finished til mid 2008.

Yeah, I figured Kohl's didn't sell toys, but if they do, awesome; there's one right next to my Wal-Mart. Will check it out tomorrow.

I checked our nearby Kohl's today (Southern California, Alhambra City), same store mapping, little toys section hidden among kid's clothing against the wall. However only items I could find are Deluxe Scorponox & Brawl and a bunch of real gears. Now this sheds a little light and I should start checking little toys sections from other department stores. Congratz on your haul today Skyblast.

Congrats on the great find. Barricade is the bomb. I would also pick up Wreckage when you find him. You will be in love.

we have Kohls here too, but ours have nothing!! great grabs!!!

by **Masterchip** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 9:38 pm

Hmm, do Burlington Coat Factories carry them too?
I may have to search my local Wal-greens, CVS, and Bellls Outlet for some hard-to-finds

Any of you on the West Coast, Fry's also sells them, so you might want to check them out as well.

by **CloudBreaker22** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:53 pm

Wow, there's a Kohls that isn't even a mile away from my parents house, and I'm going to go see them this weekend, so I think I'll stop there to check them out.

by **Decatron** » Mon Jul 30, 2007 10:57 pm

Kohls is like less than 5 miles away from me. I didn't even know they had toys? Just movie toys? Ha Well I'll check it out tomorrow.

Just went to the local Kohl's after work, and wow, that's the most movie toys I've seen in some time. Granted, it was mostly Scorponoks and Wreckages, but I spotted a couple Brawls, a Swindle, and a '74 BB. I'm probably going to go after work and buy that '74 BB if I don't find it anywhere else, but yeah, I was pleasantly surprised.

If it is anything like Target (I beleive) all the Deluxes come up the same in the search. Atleast that was how it was when I went to Target to get specific ones.

Yeah, but from the looks of it no one's touched the toys in a good while. If someone else has bought it, no biggie; it's not a must-have for me.

nice find.... never expected them to carry toys, i guess i'll check them out from time to time.

by **Dispensor** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 10:26 pm

I have a Kohls here. I haven't been there sinced they opened long before the movie came out, so I'll have to get my mom to drive me there so I can check it out, even though I already have those two figures.

by **DorkimusPrime** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 10:33 pm

There are three Kohls stores within 15-20 miles of me, and not a one sells a single toy. Lots of other worthless kitchen junk, which my wife just gotta have. :lol:

News Credits: 1 · by **twee** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 10:36 pm

...and sure enough the toys were still there, untouched. I actually think they stocked it with a couple more Brawls. Ended up buying the Bumblebee and the Brawl.

The Kohl's by my area (Alhambra, Southern Cal) has this little toys section, very poorly managed, I literally have to dig thru every shelf to make sure I don't miss anything. Like my earlier post indicated, only managed to find Deluxe Brawl & Scorponok at $12.99 and some Real Gears. From the mess they have I can safely guess that they don't restock/straighten their shelves on daily basis, so there's no need to check again anytime soon.

Today out of curiousity I walked into a CVS and glanced their tiny toy section real quick, only TF piece was 1pc of Deluxe Brawl for $13.99. I guess I will broaden my search to Walgreens, Big-Lots etc. Good luck guys!
