This thread made my day. I think you had a great find Blaze. Anyone on this board would have been just as ecstatic for a new find and at a very low price.
The question I have would be is…..
Would have you picked up an extra one and sold/ traded it on the Take5 board for the same price of $6? Or would you charge the $18.99 price?
On this board, I've been charged way over the actual price of a car (or a case) because someone was 'first" to get them. Every one wants to make a quick buck.
On the flip side, I have met some and traded with awesome Take5ers who see this board as a "brotherhood" and just want to help other collectors out.
Ethical. Carsma. Thats funny.
I am still checking Targets for more of the Bruno set. If I get anymore, I will offer them to the board at the $6.99 plus the 6% MD tax and the actual shipping cost.

When I picked up the Bruno pack, I told them I thought it was 18.99 because of the other 4 packs. They went off and had discusions with their scanner, came back and decided it should be on sale for 9.99. Too bad there weren't more than one of them!

Scored the Bruno 4 pack…gave them the DCPI number and paid 18.99. I needed some good Carsma. It paid off…shortly after I scored some RS singles, 3 packs and the new microdrifters. passed on the RS 10 pack…love the display but don'e need the cars…nice to find something new!
Walmart near me has about 2 feet of cars, MB and hot wheels…they are amidst a re-set…hopefully some cases with Mama T and leland are waiting to be shelved…or maybe those new WM singles cases…only time will tell..

Nice score!
what i don't understand is how my Walmart went from Sal Machiani straight to the Movie Moments, skipping right over Security Finn, Mama T and Leland. I guess my Walmart clearly did the thing a CVS or Wegmans would do, just order the newest case. When I went there the other day they had 1 Finn/Tomber, 2 Francesco/Party McQ, 1 Mater/Pitty and 3 Francesco/Ka-Ciao McQ. Looks like Walmart finally sold some 2-packs!

I still haven't found Bruno yet. Not too concerned, I'm not in a hurry to pay $19 for 1 new car.

Salem NH Monday Sept. 3 Surprise surprise nothing but Finn. They didn't even have the endcap display that I have seen at other Targets. Maybe this manager figured it would be a waste of time to move the unsold Finns, LMQs and Maters.

Stopped at 2 Target today and there is still no sign of Bruno around my part of Florida. Also, 1 of the two has replaced the Cars/Hotwheels endcap display with Board Games … YIKES!! Not good

The new Take Flights have landed in my area however I was late to the party as the pegs were mostly empty except for a few Stu bops, Maternaughts and a lonely NASCA Truck I picked up. They were smart enough to peel off the Walmart sticker except the residue.

I also found the Bruno 4 pack with no price listed and alas it rang up without a price. Cashier wasnt too busy but still asked me for the price. I said I think it's WORTH $12.99 and she said that'll work. $3.25 a car seemed fair to me. Seems like Target has a fairly common issue at their stores.

Target getting new cars of late is about as rare as an eclipse. Ok they may have some new Take Flights and a multi pack with one new car but wake me up when they actually get some new singles. Toys R Us has kicked Targets butt lately.

Hey I am a Townie now again despite losing credit for a few thousand posts. I'm thinking by now I should be a long time resident at the least.
