Your
"ace" news "hawk" is slipping! :O While I was
busy getting lube-oil-filter for my Poke-mobile
this week, my local strip mall was up to KNOW
good! ;) My local Target AND Barnes & Noble both
had set up Pokemon end-cap displays! After
wandering fruitlessly by the TCG aisles and the
figure aisle where Pokemon has a spot, further
along, closer to the Barbies, I found a nice
display of NEW Pokemon items! There were several
new TCG gift packs including one carded pack
containing POP foils of all three, Flareon,
Vaporeon & Jolteon, and another boxed pack with
a promo foil Flygon. There were a lot of other
prior release items, too; but, the newbie item
to the display was the D&P action launcher that
shoots out a figure of one of the three D&P
starters or Pikachu! The launcher theme
coordinates with the figure's energy type; I
remember seeing these on a website that featured
Toy Fair photos, link likely in Pojo's news
archive. Oh, wait, look, e-Bay:

Attack Bases Launch Toy. Wow, my memory is going in my old age! ;) $9.99 @ Target! The sets connect so you can have a 4 way battle! The book store had a nice selection of both new and old Pokemon books; notably, two new Tracey West adaptations, one for Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea movie and the other, Celebi Rescue from the Battle Frontier Series, both from Scholastic. A board book from Viz featuring Lapras was also on the display; the artwork on the board books is fantastic, Japanese artists and writers, nicely translated for the English speaking audience. http://www.amazon.com/Pokemon-Tales-Lapras-Friend-Pok%C3%A9mon/dp/1421509342/ref=sr_1_2/103-9590788-2459007?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182968364&sr=1-2I figured stores would start resetting shelves following the 4th of July holiday; yeah, back-to-school and Xmas, almost around the corner. This was a pleasant little preview of more fun things Pokemon to come! Pika! Loretta Addendum: I found an e-Bay scan of the new marble set, too: Didn't see that at the store yet, though. Happy 4th!
