It's Back to School with Pokemon at TRU!!!

 

<ducking really, really low as I type--don't they usually wait until *July* to put up back-to-school?!> Sorry to disappoint, summer is just getting started and TRU already is stocking up on back-to-school goodies! Pokemon backpacks for $12.99, 2 styles spotted, one with Ash, Pikachu and the D&P starter crew, the other, Ash and his Battle Dimension posse. Pokemon lunch kits, soo charming, $7.99, 2 styles spotted, one a Poke ball shape with the D&P starters, Shaymin and Pikachu, the other, well... see the picture?! And yes, Pika's tail and stripes are painted on the back. Can you believe those ears?! That kit is a must-have for Pika fanatics!

Target FINALLY has some new plush--the throw Poke ball sort, around $9.99. New additions to the throw gang: Mime Jr., Chatot and Finneon! Target's Sunday ad pictures the first Battle Dimension DVD 2-volume box set, due this Tuesday, for $16.99. I spotted a volume 2 individually at TRU, out early, for $12.99; as in many cases, the box set will be a better deal. Can't wait!

I did see some new blister Rising Rivals TCG 3-packs w/foil & coin, but I'll leave that news to omahanime. Oh, and since omahanime and I both are rabbit owners, I'll close this report with news of a cool new issue of a cute Vizkids manga about bunnies--Happy Happy Clover issue #2 was on the rack at Barnes & Noble over the weekend, $7.99. Highly recommended for Buneary/Lopunny fans, lots of adorable lagomorph hijinks!

That's all for now <hopping hastily away to avoid being hit by Super-Soakers... I fear the back-to-school news is ever so poorly timed!>. Buneary!
