Last night I stopped off at Target and was surprised to see the CAM Set/factory was on clearance for $27.98. I can only think that it was one of those odd Target things, but I decided, what the heck, time to start my Christmas shopping!

I found the K-Mart Exclusive Roller Maze Two Pack of Abbey and Ghoulia yesterday. TRU's exclusives has shown up already; I wonder when the rest will start to pop up.

K-Mart also has Ghoulia's scooter and Draculara's thing Set, but I am hoping to find Ghoulia's scooter at TRU with the doll.

YESSSSS!!! MattelShop has a pack of CAM torsos in the first series colors! Five torsos (two for the first two starter packs and three for the add-on sets) in the proper colors! And only 8 bucks to boot! (limit two sets per order)

WHOO-HOO!!!

Thank you, Jim_Abell! I just placed my order. I am glad they limited them to 2 per order too; gives people a chance to get them.

I can't wait to see what customs come from these.

The newest standard dolls are really hitting now. I saw six Venus and five Robeccas at Walmart this morning and at least three of each at Target tonight.

Target also had Ghouls Rule and a spot for the Fairy Talez, but they have not shown up here yet.

I found Goulia with scooter the other day at TRU, that my early Christmas shopping continues!

I saw 2 dolls at Target I've never seen before: "Snow Bite" and "Threaderella". Also saw some Ghoul's Rules stuff at Walmart so it was neat to see some new stuff popping up.

The Target exclusives you saw are the Scary Tales line. I saw them for the first time the other morning and they were all gone by the evening!

I saw the Walmart exclusive Dot Dead Gorgeous 3-Pack today at a couple of Walmarts. $39.99 each. In fact, one Walmart had finished that areas reset and had the School Playset, Coffin Bean, DDG Set, Ghouls Rule and the latest doll assortment too. Probably more as well. I bet the area will be mostly the leftover 1600s, Rochelle Goyle and Roadsters tomorrow. Nice to see such much new stuff at once though!

If anybody wants the CAM playset check your Targets quick! Don't know if this is a national thing or not, but I was just picking one up to look at it today and noticed a clearance tag on the top edge -- $39.99 to $29.97 (or something close to that, don't have the box by my side at the moment) -- took it to the scanner to double check and it scanned at $19.98!!! Bought!!!

They never lasted past $27.98 around here.

Just an update on what exclusives are out right now and that I have personally seen.

Walmart:
Dot Dead Gorgeous 3-Pack with Abbey, Draculaura and Ghoulia, $39.98
Ghouls Rule Abby, $23.98

Target:
Scary Tales featuring Clawdeen, Frankie and Draculaura, $22.99 each
Skull Shores 5-Pack featuring Ghoulia, Clawdeen, Cleo, Draculaura and Frankie (in color), $59.99

K-Mart:
Roller Maze 2-Pack featuring Abbey and Ghoulia

Toys "R" Us
I Love Fashion Abbey, $24.99 (I think)
I Love Fashion Frankie, $24.99 (I think)
Ghoulia with Scooter, $29.99
Draculaura with Bathtub, $29.99

I would guess the JC Penny and Costco (is that it?) exclusives will be out later, closer to the holiday. I wish we had a Costo; I'd rather get that Coffin Bean set, but will probably have to settle for the regular version.

Well, my store finally put out the design lab add-ons and I picked up both this morning. Can't say that I'm all that thrilled with them... Yes, we get a torso, an extra head and a bunch of tattoos but there's no wig, no dress, no shoes and no upper limbs... Personally, I think Mattel really needs to re-evaluate the add-on sets and just charge a bit more and put enough parts for a complete doll in there...

Anyway, my plans to complete the unicorn involve two of the tri-color pastel Liv wig -- one for the head and one to turn into a horse tail for her. Will probably order some of those heelless shoes from an Etsy seller to give her something of a hoof appearance. Still trying to figure out what to do for an outfit...

NICE! I found the orange one! I'm planning on making a pumpkin girl (that I want to call Jackie O'Lantern.

Ooooo... that's good!... I was stuck on the cat ears and tail and was trying to do something "cheetah" or "tiger" with her...

I'm kind of surprised that they haven't tried for a scarecrow in the line...

I guess the Kohl's exclusive Clawdeen and Operetta are out now too. That just leaves Costco's and JCPenny?

My pal Ted who started this thread got my girl and me into MH.

They have taken over.
