In today’s installment of “the universe loves a good play on words,” I found a Forager while out hitting a couple of Wal-Marts. I usually don’t like going to Wal-Mart, because where we live I never find anything, but we’re on the road celebrating her birthday and Thanksgiving, so I was tagging along.
But Black Friday – forget it. These days I don’t have the willpower to put together a plan of attack and brave the crowds, so I’m much happier staying away from the stores.
That doesn’t mean I’ll be missing out on all the deals though. Here’s a list of toy-related deals that the retailers have put together for guys like me. If you’d rather shop from the comfort of your own home, check them out!
- Toys R Us – Thanksgiving through Saturday (11.28) Save up to 60% on over 100 online-only Cyber Deals! Quantities are limited and deals added daily so check back frequently.
– Pretty decent assortment of stuff on sale here. They have some of their SDCC exclusives up, and I’ve got my eye on an Icons Daredevil that’s going for what a 6-inch figure goes these days.
- Wal-Mart – Friday-Only Online Specials – There’s a couple of Transformers deals but not much else in the way of toys. I was more interested in some of the electronics and video game deals.
- Entertainment Earth – Black Friday Sale – EE has over 60 items in their Black Friday Sale list. The most interesting to me were the Halo baddies for $5.99.
- Things From Another World – Save 20-60% During Our Blackest Friday Weekend Sale – There’s close to 500 toys on sale here, but many of them are the standard sales prices. Found a vinyl figure of Usagi Yojimbo that I bought for my brother-in-law for full price a few years ago for 60% off, and there’s also the comics stuff on sale here through the weekend.
- Amazon – Black Friday Deals Week in Toys & Games
– There are deals on Transformers, Halo, and Watchmen toys, among others, and there’s also deals across all of Amazon’s categories.
OK, I think that should keep us homebodies busy for a couple hours early Friday morning. Happy shopping!
