Things like this are why Target will always be better than Wal-Mart.

Damn, I knew I should have applied at Target! But no, I had to get a job right next door at Toys R Us so I could play with the DBZ figures. Laughing

At least its a short stop away. If my local target has Domo stuff, I'm totally buying it.

Why did you think Target died out? Where do you live?

My local Target already had the Domo decor up in their store at the Halloween section. I'm so very tempted to ask them if I could take a piece of it once Halloween ends. I'll have to go back and see if they have those goods out now though.

If only their prices were lower. Sad (At least around where I am, they seem to be higher priced. Could be a local thing.)

Very interesting news item and very odd. If only the apparent love of Domo would translate into a massive uptick in anime and manga sales.

Great news. Good to see Target at least making an effort as opposed to Wal-Marts "throw it on a shelf and let the customer sort through it" style of marketing. I don't shop at Wal-Mart anymore out of principle, though their prices rarely seem much lower on like products, usually only offering lower prices on cheap knock off or generic products I wouldn't buy anyways.

This is awesome! Time to spread the Domo love. I"ll have to look around Target for Domo-kun merchandise next time I'm at Target.

Why did you think Target died out? Where do you live?


Maybe he was thinking of K-Mart?

But K-mart is still around too, they're all over the place. They're the number three department store in the world and even bought Sears in 2004.

Back on topic: I was pretty amazed to see the Domo-kun pictures in the Halloween department yesterday. I literally stopped in my tracks and pointed at the sign exclaiming, "That's Domo-kun!" to my brother in awe. They were still setting up the department so I didn't see any of the Domo products, but it did cause me to check the website and submit the news tip. I'll have to go back and look for figures another time.

I never see any K-Marts where I live, seriously.

Targets are EVERYWHERE though, and I much prefer them to Wal-Mart.

I noticed the Domo icon at Target about a week ago, and I laughed. It's cool.
